I'm a huge noel fan like everyone else on this site and have been since DM. I love about 90% of his tracks. I remember hearing him say in an interview once, around the time of BHN, and he mentioned that if he ever did do a solo album, it would be a double, with every influence from aretha franklin to the stooges to the stone roses on it. After hearing the first single and the Bside, (love the single, b side is ok for a b side) i worry a bit that noel isn't being as ambitious as he should be. With the high flying birds, it seems like we will get a bunch of songs that would have made it onto the last few oasis albums had the rest of the band not been contributing. This is fine, i want to hear them. Which brings me to the double album due out next year. This is the album I have been waiting for..his true solo record, with all of his influences....but then he goes and gives it to a producing duo that he admits didn't let him have a lot of say in his own record (mojo interview) . I just really wish he would have found a producer that was less intrusive. I like the AA albums, but i don't want them making noel's record just another one in their string of massive bubble releases. Thoughts?
