lgfaver, this isn't the same type of dance music as lady gaga. its more like something like kasabian/The Charlatans and one could even say coldplayish (lover in japan like piano) but its not in your face heavily produced euro-disco stuff like poker face or the edge of glory. It's got Sardy's touch all over it production-wise meaning it sounds rather vintage but it has some sublime details like the strings in the background as well as the melody in it as well that makes it sound a bit more modern than say TDOYAM.

I love Noel is moving on as a songwriter. Oasis is over people. If you want meat and potatoes and I dare say a bit bland (in my opinion) rock n roll BDI will provide you with that. Noel is showing us he can do more than anthems or perhaps in this case do an anthem in a different style and really to be honest this is not that big of a change (it is for a Gallagher) but I'm expecting the AA to be a lot weirder than this.

Noel criticizes people for not staying try to themselves and forcing themselves to change. Not people taking on more influences and growing a little bit.

But remaining the same person is impossible. It's one think for a band to go away and say, "we are going to change our style and come out with something completely different" and a man that evolves slowly over a decade into something a bit different.

You can see the progression of where Noel was in the 90's to where he is now. If you don't like it that is your problem. But he isn't being false about it.

IMO it's a bit like people and their accents.

I think it's lame when people move to the UK or vice versa and immediately begin to talk like they have an accent. (a la Madonna) but I also think it's moronic when people from their original country begin to complain that they have deliberately changed they accent when their accent begins to fade a bit after several years in a new place.

I don't want the 90's rehashed. Noel took that kind of music and dominated it. Perfected it. I have 4 albums full of music like that by him.

Like people have said, this is more in the vein of something like The Charlatans or Kasabian than something like Madonna or Lady Gaga

I don't mind it, this album has something for everyone.
Music hall, ballads, dance, rock...

Heck, even Paul McCartney is trying to be like Lady Gaga these days I suppose

how is a paul mccartney track from 1993, 18 years ago, "these days"?

It's a saying. I didn't literally mean he released it last week.

That's a terrible response in all, but i don't wanna get into an internet argument i find it embarrassing, but the reason i said what i said is that your posts (mostly negative) seem to all point towards you longing for that 90's rocking sound again, i remember you saying something about you wanting to hear a Noel album with a more "step out" sound, and there is nothing wrong with that, i would welcome it to an extent.

But what im trying to say is - Noel has moved on and there is a variety reasons why he has and rightly so, and with that he has taken the majority of this forum with him and they are appreciating his new sound with sincerety and open arms.

The lady gaga reference in correspondance to this track is quick and ill thought isnt it?

Anyway, i can see where you are coming from some of the time, but we all just need to try adapt to what noel is doing right now

2 things;

1. Stop criticising people for being "stuck in the 90's" the 90's were fucking fantastic and so was the music, we could all do with another Definitely Maybe about now.

2. This isn't Lady Gaga music and I doubt Noel will be thrusting aggressively in a skimpy metallic bikini in front of a troop dancers wearing a mixture of poultry and the debris from the Challenger Space Shuttle in the video either.

The clip is too short for me to form an opinion on it though.

The beat and sound to this song is no different to the music other bands were making in the "Madchester" scene 20 years ago. Not so much a departure from the Noel sound....more like looking over the garden fence.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm longing for new albums with that 90s sound. That's "my" music. However, I can also appreciate stuff like this.

Does it remind anyone else of "Fire" by Kasabian, vaguely?

"I'm going to take that tiger outside for a ride" is epic, lol.

I like it, but wasn't blown away like I was with IIHAG. But then again, we have only heard 90 seconds here. I'm hoping he varies that chorus a bit as he did with the last chorus for SBM, in fear that it will be too repetitive.

But the song sounds like it's about to explode, and if it does it probably will be fantastic.

AKA....The Chief is back

I completely agree with this.

You put into words my main issue with IIHAG.
