is there any consensus about when the album will come out. when the first single will come out and when a warmup tour and full-out tour will start?

what i wanna know is what the hell the band is doing as of this moment about the record

We don't really know IF any of this is true.

1. Was stated over a year ago, and since then there has not been anything current mentioned about what is or isn't on the album aside from the Daily Star, which is hardly a bastion of journalism integrity. It was first stated as being on the record in an NME interview in January 2007, anything else mentioning it (the recent real Q "preview" etc) is using that old information. We've heard nothing from the proverbial horses mouth that this song made the final mix/cut.

2. Yet there's a picture of Noel in the studio on Oasisinet with an acoustic. There is literally no chance there are no acoustics on the record, at the least they're accompaniment tracks.

3. Again, see the NME interview/article from January 2007. It's not a certainty this is true as of 2008. I tend to believe there are elements of both, since Abbey Road is exactly the type of studio that can handle this sort of thing, but not truth yet, and definitely not confirmed.

4. Hyperbole. Psychedelic can be interpreted differently by different people.

5. More hyperbole. While one may say it focuses on the "grooves" another may think its a lyrical focus. It's all down to the listener. It says nothing about what it actually sounds like.

In short, we know absolutely nothing as fact regarding this album. The band have been extremely quiet about it. The most recent quotes are Liams, but they're still 6 months old and who knows what happened during mix etc. Virtually every article that has been released in the last 2 months uses information that has been out there for over a year about this record. The Daily Star claims to have a spy, but until something is concrete, we don't know that for sure.

I'm not intending to be rude by nitpicking your list, but there really is nothing yet factually known about this record, other than that they recorded at Abbey Road, Dave Sardy produced, and it's coming out this year.

Great topic! Was thinking about making one of these myself.

I doubt there will not be any acoustic guitar on it though. I find that a bit weird. Even though it comes from Liam. But who knows? It may be right.

I do look very very forward to hearing what the songs with orchestras will sound like.

Yea I too don't believe Liam when he says that. Like I said in another thread, an Oasis album with no acoustic guitar is like a Billy Joel or Elton John album with no piano. Plus if this album is indeed psychedelic, then I really can't see them not having any acoustic on it. But then again, Roll It Over had no acoustic guitar and that was a fuckin awesome psychdelic rock song

Just thought I'd update this topic a little:

1: Album will have 11 - 12 song
2: The new single is Four and a half minute long
3: More R&R orientated
4: The album is completely finished, and the band are currently waiting to get a record deal.
5: The band currently stand between three different types of artwork.

Please fill me inn if I've left something out.

Universal is their global label, and they're looking for one to use in the UK I think.

This is something I think that has been taken as true when in fact it might not be the case. I've read the article it originated from, and given Noels sense of humour I've taken it as him teasing the interviewer with "the new single will be........" to lure the interviewer into thinking hes about to get a nugget of info, a release date, or at least a track title and then ;D finishes with "........4 and a half minutes long". I think he's taking the mickey here and this isnt actual information as such.

Anyone else read it like me?

I know that this thread sucks.

god help everybody in here, webm@ster please get us some news....

we don't know shit
