Pedant alert - all the random extra vocalists get the lyrics wrong - it's 'into' not 'in'...

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I wish they did more with that little riff at 6:25 though it's given me goosebumps every time I play it.

its weird really, i think its shite of the highest order, but i still listen to it and find some parts intriguing....
it has some nice sounds in it and some of guitars in it are exceptional but for me the female voices at the end destroy it, which is a funny thing coz my BIG complaint with the Falling Down remix was the female vocalist...
whats the point of replacing Noely Gs lyrics with someone who A) sounds terrible and B) cant say 'Shoot a hole into the sun' properly

Last few comments on the FSOL forum are positive anyway. I think it sounds good. Not a song I could listen to on repeat though.

I still realy like it. But I agree that the extra voices aren't necessary at all.

Last 2 minutes are ok, but as a whole this is exactly what I feared it would be. Formless noise, with no sense of structure or melody. It goes nowhere in my opinion. Whatever the people who like this are hearing, I am simply not getting. A whole album of this will be unbelievably dull and would drive me bonkers after about 15min. If this is what he's happy to release I dread to think what the stuff he's unhappy with sounds like.
Wigwam gets criticised for going nowhere but this gets praise? The mind boggles.
The only reason this makes me smile is the thought of what Liam will have to say when he hears this album.

Anyone else get a kick out of the fact that half the people point at the last two minutes as the worst part that ruins the song for them and the other half say it's not interesting until the last 2 minutes?
Never has one song so fully divided the board.

Never has one song so fully divided the board. bring the light The fight there was mostly meh or a bit above meh.  But really...people either liked it or disliked it. The reasons for liking it were generally consistent and were different from the reasons for disliking it, which were also consistent. Derivative, lyrically poor vs. energetic For this what half the people point to as the same things as the reasons it's good and the reasons it's bad. It's great that half the board find the last 2 minutes the best thing about it and the other half think it's the worst thing. Song must be doing something right.  |

I wonder how many people like Bring The Light and dislike Shoot a Hole Into The Sun and vice-versa? Would be interesting.  |

Don't encourage him! As a Republican, things he likes include disenfranchising minority voters and denying climate change. As long as he's here moaning about music that doesn't adhere to the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus format, the world is better off.

I think the production has its moments, as a whole it's not something I would listen to on a regular basis, but the fact that we have a regular Oasis-sounding IIHAG to listen to plays into that. Take a new song with that sound, maybe make it shorter and less repetitive, and it could be awesome. And I agree with those saying the female vocalist destroys the song. Unnecessary and a little annoying. |

Something I don't get is why people are so surprised that Noel is doing an experimental record. It was someting hinted in his carreer for a very long time. He had made electro, psychedelic, it's only natural that he 's doing that now that he's solo.
Some reminder of Psychedelic, electronic, experimental Noel prior to AA : Fucking in the bushes, What A life, Tehotihuacan, Setting Sun, LFB, Gas Panic, DYWIM...
I'm sure I'm forgotten some as well. Face it all Noel like this kind of music, He's not obsessed by strutured tunes, his talent is larger than that. It's not just the work of the AA, it's a collaboration. He's doing this album because there is more in him than HFB and now that he's solo he feels free to express it on a full album.
Saying it's shit it demeaning to the artist you pretend to be a fan of. It's far from shit, its just another face of a brillant artist way more open minded on his art than you'll ever be.
He's as brillant as a classic songwritter as he can be in experimental, that's what the AA album will proove. At least I hope.

Well said, but if he's really all for experimentation it's time to go all the way out there. I'll be hugely disappointed if he releases this AA album and then goes back to material like HFBs. |

The production is great on it, but need more focus.

OK, waited until I'd heard this a few times before commenting.
I really liked the 30 second clip (found the bassline and aaaaahhs really catchy).
On first listen I really liked the full version. The only thing I didn't like, was how in the first few minutes the drums stop - the stop/start nature jarred a bit, but now I've got used to that and don't even notice it.
Even though I liked it immensely to begin with, I like it more after each listen. It's still growing and I still hear new things each time.
So looking forward to the next album more than ever now. :-D
