I feel bad for the people that actually paid to go see them..... Its a win win for them.. They get money and in return play sesame street songs to the "fans".

The truth is we just DONT KNOW! I compare the situation to this: Imagine if Oasis put out Mucky Fingers as the first track off DBTT. Its kinda similar to BTL and yet isnt really like the rest of the album...there are still 10 or 11 tracks that we havn't heard yet and it could be crap or it could be great...were jumping the gun a bit...

1. The notion that BTL is a single release is absurd. It is simply a teaser, and a true single will be coming soon that will be much better.
2. Fellow bands speaking less-the-enthusiastically means nothing more then they really don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Let's be honest with ourselves, they were most likely drinking whilst listening, so it is not fair to take their comments as objective in anyway.
3. This is no different then when Oasis let Columbia out early, and it got a few plays on the radio and some people got all excited about it. Columbia is a better track then BTL, but not a single, then or now.
4. Liam has repeated time after time that they have to prove that they belong in the music scene, just like Oasis did back in the early 90's. They are simply trying to get people talking (which they have done very well) about the band to the point that they will be curious abut forthcoming releases. Most people on here, and elsewhere, are very curious to at least hear what else will be coming out of camp Beady Eye in the future. If you weren't interested, you wouldn't be talking about the band on here.
5. Everyone needs to take a step back and slow down! The album will most likely not be the second coming of DM or WTSMG?, but in fairness to BDI, I think the album will be worth the price to buy it, just as much as the last 10 years of Oasis albums were. It will have it's moments and fail in others. That's okay. Anyone expecting monumental greatness is in denial, or just full of shit.
Cheers!

Ive always expected something roughly on par with DBTT and after hearing bring the light i still feel the same, its not a brilliant song but its decent enough for a free download, just think replace the piano with a guitar riff and it would be on the same sort of level as the DBTT filler tracks, which is exatcly what i think BTL is, just a filler song that was chosen for release becuase its a radical departure from the oasis sound. sorry if this reads a bit wierd but ive just found out im dyslexic which explains alot of the random nonsense ive written on here previously XD

DM, WTSMG and stop the clocks are pretty much all you need from Oasis

I think it's going to be a solid album...We've only heard two songs, 1 is so so, and 1 is pretty good to me. SOTS is a catchy song (I can also picture this song being AMAZING live). Give it a chance, I know Liam and the rest of the guys have it in them to write some very good songs.

Im more referring to if someone didnt have too much knowledge of Oasis and interested in checking them out. I would recommend start with morning Glory then DM.. I looked back at Stop the Clocks and I chnaged my mind. Looking at the track list it does a good job of grabbing the best off of Masterplan and DBTT. It misses BHN whihc for me is a plus. It really needs more from HC and SOTSOG like Where did it all go wrong,SCYHO, and little by little. those two songs would have made Stop the Clocks more complete for me. I dont care for DOYS and the best songs off of DBTT are covered

For DOYS, I think that Liam, Gem and Andy's tracks stand on their own much better than Noel's do. Noel's tracks work for me the same way Side Two of Abbey Road works. Individually, the songs aren't such a much but as a whole, they're really quite impressive.

Noel's songs are connected musically to each other, the bits in between are literally soundclips or extended fade-outs at best. I'm not gonna dress up Liam, Gem and andy's tracks and say they're more like singles or stand alone songs; All of Noel's songs, taken out of context or in context of DOYS are all significantly stronger.

I agree I think that they made the right decisions regarding singles. IOT, FD, and TSOLT were definitely the right picks from my point of view. The only track that that I might have picked instead would have been TT (but that is a Noel song...so a bit of a moot point) I would never have picked either of Liams other tracks or Andy and Gems contributions to stand on their own as singles. They might sound better on their own than they do on the album though. Mostly because I think, as I think quite a few do, that the latter part of DOYS pales in comparison to the former. So taken away from the superior songs FD and before...they very well might sound better than they do in the context of the album. However I'd still take most of Noel's songs (save GOYHHL) over Andy, Gem, or Liam's other 2 tracks (IOT is quite good though)

I would have put a live version of TBWTL from one of the stadium shows as the 4th single

I think you misinterpreted what I wrote. My suggestion was that the songs themselves don't strike me that much individually, but within the context of the flow of the record, they work much better. They've got great arrangements and very good melodies but the lyrics are totally uninspired in a number of sections. When you consider that Noel took a great song in Waiting For The Rapture and re-wrote it to rip off a song by The Doors (again) and then you consider the lyrical content ("Love is a time machine/Up on the silver screen", "Come on, shake your ragdoll, baby", the 4 lines that make up GOYHHL, etc.), I really don't understand why the vitriol is always directed at the other three on DOYS. It's as if people get offended that they were allowed to contribute songs to the record. Wasn't that Noel's decision?
