Strings/Choir are to this album what electric guitar was to "Be Here Now." They smother some of Noel's best writing.

Very much agreed. EOTR is awesome, but after listening to the strings only version for a few months, I was thinking the song would be "break the glass in the room" epic.
And, there's strings on EVERY song. Too much.

Not enough strings.
Well, no, but there's certainly not too many.

I find it interesting that he uses strings on songs like Record Machine, while for the song that could really use the strings the most, IIHAG, they're nowhere to be found.

He has gone a bit string OD on this one but it sounds good. Does sound a bit Bond-y in places though.

It's overproduced!!! It makes Phil Spectors Wall of Sound look like an old garden fence!!!

i've wanted all those strings, choir and brass for years. i love all this pumped up sound. that's why i love and hate BHN. it has all this big production but you can barely hear the song between all the riffs. he found the right level on this one

Defo think there's a bit too much strings on there. He's obsessed with strings and choirs since the Proms gig in the Roundhouse. I'm sure it'll pass.
I think there's too much stuff on Record Machine now. The rawer simpler demo is better IMO.

The only song that the strings annoy me on is Record Machine. The strings and the choir in the chorus are just to high in the mix. Besides that, I have no problem with the strings on the other songs.

The strings on RM annoys me and the choir on STC is totally unnecessary.
