Because an album is completed quickly doesn't mean its rushed.

I think this could be a very realistic timeline. I think the success of Noel's record will make Beady Eye eager to get in the studio and record an album they seem confident in.

If the album was demoed late last year then it could have easily been recorded over the last 4-6 weeks, especially if the band were familiar with the songs. Little break now before the same again for mixing and mastering would mean its complete end of April, possibly spilling into May.

First single & track listing coming over the Summer with a release between August & October. Not too dissimilar to The High Flying Bird's album, only it would have taken less time to record due to there being more members and them only recording one records as opposed to Noel's too.

An album being rushed is not the how long it takes to make it. There artists who have made albums two weeks and they've not been rushed. Rushing an album comes from when you go into a studio knowing that you need to take a certain amount of time, but you don't take it. But the time that you think you need is really dependent on the band.

If you're a band and you've been in the studio enough time to know that you need say a year to write and you need at least three months in the studio, but you only right for 6 months, take whatever you have lying around (not worrying about quality), and you're only in the studio for say a month, then I would call that a rushed album. But again, that is really dependent on the band and how they usually operate and what's comfortable for them.

I think the better question is, "The style that Beady Eye now have in making an album, in terms of the time taken toward writing and in studio. Is that method the most conducive for them to consistently make good music?" I don't know the answer to that. I don't think any of us truly know the answer that. But I hope that Beady Eye does.

There were three song that features choirs more prominently (I think IIHAG might be a fourth). So maybe listen more carefully?

So how many are you saying were fooled by strings then? Some? Most? All? You said "a lot" were fooled into thinking that some of the tracks with strings on the album were good. Why name the entire album as an example? Why say "example NHB'? Maybe you need to write better?


Edit: Actually I'll take that back. Only 3 have choirs. Looking at album liner notes. And what are you defining as layering? Do you even know what it is? So yeah, maybe listen a bit more closely? I don't know. I think you just tried to make a point without thinking through the actual point you were trying to make.

Basically we won't know if it's been rushed until we hear it.

It seems to have happened very quickly if they are indeed finished and I hope they aren't rushing to get it out because they really don't have any momentum to kill at this point. The hype fizzled after only a few weeks really. And 2 middling albums will do them more harm than taking extra time to do it well.

If they have the songs then they have the songs. Tunes don't need to be worked over for ages to be good on record. Morning Glory is amazing and I seem to remember the recording only took a couple weeks.

All they need is inspiration. If they are inspired and have a vision then they probably can work pretty quick since they are experienced musician.

I do hope they have good quality control. IMO DGSS shouldn't have been 13 tracks. But the threw everything they had at it so the result was some duff tracks are on there that actually detract from the album.

If I never heard SOTEOTN again it'll be too soonz

oh dear spaneli.. you try so hard lol it's amusing though, i'll give you that.

I don't agree with his point but I understand what he says.
The production on HFB is loud, big, sometimes it's even fat (IIHAG didn't need all those guitars, an acoustic version would have been more beautiful).
This kind of production can make a song look more important that it really is. Ans when you take it all off, the song isn't that great (STC can be an example actually)

But I disagree in HBF because most of the time it's the reserve scenario with Noel. He had always overproduced song and when he just played them in accoustic guitar they were revealed in their beauty (IIAG or SCYHO are good example of good songs with too fat production).

If you really knew how much laughter your posts provide some of the forum, you wouldn't post.

It's sad how you actually think that somehow you're being witty or something, when many times you're just the fool. But keep thinking that it's awesome. It's probably the only way you're able to keep showing up around here.

oh lord

they've only made one album, i doubt they already have a set in stone method to making albums...

people need to calm down, they already said multiple times that the first album was mainly an experiment. liam said they wanted a number one album so if they didnt achieve that last time then they are obviously going to change things round a bit.

andy and gem were in two moderately successful bands before oasis and liams been making albums since 94 so i THINK they know what they're doing

Hoping this is a song for the new album, was recorded at their soundcheck in Brazil. Imagine that with Liam vocals over it, could be HUGE.

Thomas, before you quote my quotes and then type responses, how we agree to do this: to try and find the point where you think my quote is wrong.

Now, where do you see it that I say that they have "method that is set in stone"? Because I can't find it. As a matter of fact, my quote agrees more with you're saying than disagreeing with what you're saying. I'm saying that they're "method" or style is still fluid and that it hasn't been "set in stone". That they can still feel out how long it takes for them as a group to make a better album. And what is most conducive for the group.

MG was recorded in two weeks, so why can't BDI2 be good ?as far i'm concerned i think that recording it in more time won't make it better
