Was the riddler just part of the marketing strategy for the band or something? Did a good job of building anticipation by giving out information- though none of it was too revealing  |

Let's see some example of Riddler's correct predictions (besides a stupid magazine).

Let's see some example of Riddler's correct predictions (besides a stupid magazine). TheRiddler was obviously in the know, gave a title of a song before the tracklist was announced. Either she works for Q or something and managed to get wind of the special issue, and also found out about High horse lady, or she is someone close to the band. I suppose it doesn't really matter though, does it  |

She also revealed that the band would start a leg of the tour the same day the album is released or something like that... And she said they'd be in North America around Christmas...

And it was said that its identity would be revealed when the album was out... I know it's not been officially released but it's out... so who was it?

Let's see some example of Riddler's correct predictions (besides a stupid magazine). Posts and riddles by the riddler : -title of a song way before anything was known about the album (June) - Qmagazine double cover issue - Gem's song on the album - Start of tour (Liverpool plus date) posted by riddler on july 25th: Shock of Lighting sounds instant and compelling because it was written dead fast, sort of like a demo. The first time you record something is always the best, he explains. II. Shock of Lightning is an instant FM hit with the unmistakable head turning Oasis RnR power behind it III. DOYS is loaded with monotonous, hypnotic , driving tunes , a big progression from Don't believe the Truth. The lyrics deliver a bleak reality check of today's world with all kinds of biblical references embedded. IV. Gem Archer's song "To be where there's life" is just one of the gems on this high quality album. V.The albums closer "Soldier On" is a hauntingly beautiful song reflecting ones voyage through life .... There's no need to write ,like, Orthodox pop songs anymore (Noel G). Oasis are back and have raised the bar again |

The Riddler is Andys missus, get over it already. The Lps been leaked, what else is there? For all we know, its all a band marketing technique, leak the album a few weeks before, go on fan sites and see what kind of vibe it's recieving, what are the FANS saying, "should we add more live dates?", "should we spend more $$$ on promotion?" etc etc. get a clue.

He's probably someone who works at Q magazine and got the chance to hear the album early
