If I Had A Gun 9.5/10. Still love this song. And I believe that's it's one of Noel's recent best.
The Death of You And Me 9/10. I really have fallen in love with this track. The melody to chorus is just so great. And it's perfectly produced.
AKA...What A Life 8/10. I still like what Noel was trying to do. And he comes so close to doing it. As Cast says, I think it will be better within the context of the album.
Alone On The Rope 8.5/10 I like the mellow brilliance of this song, yet I don't think it's as good as some others think But a great track none the less.
Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me 8.25/10. Just a bit below Alone On The Rope. The female vocal is brilliant and I love the Pink Floyd vibes this gives off. And Noel's vocals are hypnotizing. Just amazing stuff.
I'd Pick You Everytime 7.5/10 It's incredibly great for a b-side. Though it's still a b-side. But again, a very good b-side.
The Good Rebel 7/10. I still it as an average track. It has it's moments, but that's about it. Clearly the worst track released in my opinion. But considering that this is the worst, it shows the quality of songs that Noel has released so far.

Please someone help me. :L How do you start threads? Is there a post count required before threads can be started? You may be wondering "Why is he asking this in the middle of a thread?" Well I would have started a thread to ask for help, but I can't. Anywho any help much appreciated.  At the top of the list of threads in the little gold bar is a 'new thread' button. Hit that and you're up and running! |

Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me is my new favorite NG song from his solo career.

IIHAG: 9.5
Beautiful, brilliant songwriting. I agree with some previous comments that Sardy's production makes it sound a bit power-ballad-ish, but (a) it can't sink the beauty of the song, and (b) I like power ballads!
TDOYAM: 9
Sort of the polar opposite of IIHAG. Not sure if this is as good of a song, but the production choices elevate it. The brass, strings and use of Noel's voice are all stellar. Also, it builds to a nice peak near the end, which most newer Oasis songs don't do (unlike, say DLBIA or Supersonic or CS)
AOTR: 9
I think the key to this track is that Noel doesn't try too hard to wedge a huge hook into it and the groove and vibe just sustains itself. I think Noel was going for something similar in RIO but tried to stick a big hook in there and it just didn't work all that well. Keeps getting better and better.
WAL: 8
My disappointment in this track has abated somewhat after being away from it for a week or so. I just think it sounds somewhat unfinished. Could use a second part to the chorus I think to put it over the top. I like the four on the floor beat and the fact that Noel tried something new here (with his usual competence).
IPYET: 8
As a fan of Nashville Skyline, I get a real kick out of this one. And instead of just immitating Dylan's vocals (see below), Noel just does phenomenal, different things with his voice here. I might be underrating it, because I feel funny giving a 2 minute wisp of a track something higher.
LTLSALOM: 7.5
To be perfectly honest, not entirely sure about this one. Will have to give it a few more spins. I would've given AOTR an 8 and the TGR a 7 after one or two listens, and look where they are now.
TGR: 5
Was wondering what was bothering me so much about this track, and why I was disliking it more with every listen (which is rare for a Noel song). Then I recalled my similar experience with Mucky Fingers, and I realized that I just hate Noel's Dylan vocal impression. Plus, not sure if I can stand to hear RAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN/LIKE RAAAAAAAAAAYYYNNNNN anymore.

Updated Rankings
These top two are both on the edge of growing into 9.5's they might not be "classics" but I'm still falling in the love with them even harder even after all the months they've been released.
IIHAG-9/10
TDOYAM-9/10
AOTR-8.5/10-went up. it's something I wish Noel did more of. It could grow even more.
AKA...WAL-8/10-went back up really diggin the track again. After taking a break from it you realize what it is and what it's not trying to be. I still think it doesn't reach it's potential (it could be up there with TDOYAM and IIHAG) but its a really really good track and I still think it's gonna be a great break in the album and a nice change of pace.
LTLSALOM-7.5/10-will probably grow into at least an 8 after a few spins.
IPYET-6.5/10
TGR-6/10

"The Death of You and Me" is havin it. Nice, poignant chorus
"If I Had A Gun"-- the beginning verse/lyrics is a bit daft and radiates suckiness, and it kindof devalues the track a bit, but the whole kindof overcomes that.
"AKA...What A Life" is harmlessly filterish.
I couldn't give a fuck about b-sides and/or unreleased tracks at the moment.

After many listens, LTLSALOM is my favourite so far. It reminds me a bit of Gas Panic, and it has that magnificent Pink Floyd vibe. Love it.

Gonna do this on picthfork style ratings cos it's hard to say which songs are better that which when they're all between 7-9.
Let the Lord Shine a Light - 9.4
Alone on the Rope - 9.1
If I had a gun - 9.0
Death of you and Me - 8.2
AKA...What a Life - 7.8
I'd put you every time - 7.5
The Good Rebel - 7.3
The top two have totally taken me by surprise and are exactly how i like my slow chilled out guitar music. The production is spot on and I expect these sort of tunes from other bands like Radiohead, Elbow, Doves and Spiritualized but to hear Noel going down this route is just the ticket - I hope the haters and critics feel the same.
DOYAM and What a Life are good singles and show the variety of work that that he's doing these days and IPYET is a nice little folk ditty which would be a stand out track if it was a Mumford or Laura Marling tune. Out of all the songs, only The Good Rebel resembles anything Oasis ever did but it's really just a slightly better version of one of the poorest tracks in Oasis' history (PAITM) and would probably have sounded much better if Liam sang it. Still, some people will still probably try and say that "all the songs sound the same". Idiots.

Favorite LTLSAL epic, cosmic and one of those BSides which make you wonder what NG is thinking? Would have loved to have this on the album,
IihAg is good but I've overplayed it I think.
To calibrate my rating
