Seriously though. This is ridiculously awesome news. I may have peed a little.

There's a lot of people on here talking about production as if they actually know what they're talking about. Sardy gets a bad rap because the two albums he did were the only two albums that Noel didn't have the majority of the production control over so it sounds different to the early albums. Now Morning Glory, that's a horribly produced album. Fantastic album but possibly the worst produced of all Oasis albums.

The quality of production on DM, MG, BHN and HC was bad to poor and only worked on the first two because the tunes where there and not in the latter two. But then SOTSOG was an anomality to the rule since Noel was a co-producer in that one and it's the best one(DOYS is shy of it i must say)

You're on crack.

I haven't even heard Noels new stuff with all the rumours about him working with Sardy, I kind of wish he'd gone a different route and worked with someone he'd never worked with, Stephen Street?John Leckie the possibilities seem endless. Noels stuff is the safe bet, acoustic and power ballads, with plenty of 3mn guitar solos lol.

I sure as fuck hope so. I'd almost be disappointed if he kept himself under that whole Oasis box. I'm ready fir new sounds, different direction in his songs. Hoping for some better lyrics too. None of that mumbo jumbo "oh, they don't mean anything" he needs to stop putting himself down and force himself to come up with better lyrics instead of taking the easy way out and just not really giving them much effort. It's like, Oasis didn't fucking break up, only to have Noel still sound like Oasis, know what I mean?

You can hope for whatever you wish, but I personally will be shouting from the fucking roof tops if I get to hear at least 4 or 5 new Noel songs with lyrics that can match "TIOBI, TMP, CNS, Gas Panic, WFL, WDIAGW, SMC, LAMB, DYKWIM, OWR, CUA, YGTHOAS, POTQ, LTBL, Falling Down, The Turning, Sad Song, Slide Away, Rockin'Chair, etc. Yeah, some really poor lyrics on those tracks Stop being so damn lazy Noel! The man has always been his harshest critic, I'd have to guess that's one of the reasons why he is so damn good at what he does. He's always pushing himself even if he will never admit it. And please, try not to put too much stock in anything Noel has to say about his own songs in interviews. He hardly ever expresses his true feelings to journalists when it comes to discussing his music.

Some songs on Dig Out Your Soul are well produced - Shock of the Lightning and Soldier On, but some are downright messy. There's nothing special about the early Oasis albums, but it had that echoey feel to it and it sounded as if you were in an arena listening to the band. Dave Sardy's albums sound flat and dull - sound as if they were recorded in the 1960s. I've heard other albums he's produced and it's all dull, dull, dull. No ambition from him at all - safe pair of hands, perhaps why Noel has hired him?

then i must be on crack, too.

everybody knows what noel's capable of. beady eye, on the other hand, not so much. that's why i was much more excited to hear beady eye's record.

And remind that DBTT were made at several diferent sessions(4 i think but im not sure) and Sardy made a good work on it



And hiding the vocals of noel in Bag It Up and the outro of TSOTL

I think the choir thing was Sardy's decision. I remember Noel telling a story about him asking why the choir was turned down so low. Sardy said "we don't want it to overwhelm the sound" and Noel said "there is 50 of them...that kind of the point!"
