Does he think Noel Gallagher will hold the line and not yield to the increasing clamour for an Oasis reunion?‘I would have thought so, wouldn’t you? He’s in a great place now. I love that High Flying Birds record,’ he enthuses of the elder Gallagher’s solo project. ‘I don’t want to speak out of turn, but he’s played me a couple of things from the next record and they’re f***ing great as well. He’s in a good creative place, so why would he do it? Well,’ he adds with a snort, ‘I know why people would do it — for money. That’s the bottom line.’ stopcryingyourheartoutnews.blogspot.com/2014/05/paul-weller-says-new-tracks-by-noel.html

If they are a mate of Noel I take their opinions with very little honesty. Hard to trust someone so close to Noel. Of course they will talk it up.

But he didn't have to give his opinion on the new album, that wasn't the question. If he was directly asked, then yeah, it might be questionable. But he seemed to throw in the fact that he's heard some of the new tracks by his own volition. For this reason, it's excited me. |

Ever hear anyone connected with Noel diss his material in a public forum? 'If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all'. Don't people still go by this general concept, especially when it's about someone they know and like as a person? I'd hope those Noel considers friends would have the professional courtesy of not commenting negatively if asked directly about their opinion on his work. In this case, Weller was not asked directly about Noel's new album, he had no reason to bring up the new album or his opinion on the tracks in relation to the question asked. He could have answered the question straightforward and moved on to other questions. But he decided to add-in that he's also heard some of the new tracks and that he thought they were great. I'd say he's being honest. Or maybe this is a promotional stunt and we're about to get some new information on the album/first single. Although, I'd expect that from Noel himself. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. If you had heard the new tracks and thought they were shite and then some interviewer asks you a general question about Noel's willingness to rejoin Oasis, would you even bother to bring up the new album and lie about it? Of course not, that's silly. You would just answer the question about Noel and an Oasis reunion and be done with it. |

Don't get me wrong, the new tracks could be awesome but Weller is gonna say that no matter what. I just can't be fired up by quotes from Weller, Marr, Coyles, etc. I'll take the wait and see approach. |

Has there been anyone else that's said something about Noel's new tracks, specifically anyone with no close bond with Noel? The last I heard was someone eavesdropping in a studio in California and he was banging out tunes or something. That sounded promising, but I think that a long time ago. |

I agree with The Invisible Sun here, he had no reason to say it, that wasn't the question But the album's gonna be great anyway  |

I agree with not taking it as gospel. But it certainly isn't a bad sign that Weller likes it.  I wonder if Noel is completely finished at least part of the album if he is showing songs around to friends. This is gonna be a long year waiting. |

The mixing is yet to be done, the rest is finished I think, as he said he had 2 weeks left in the studio like a month ago  |

We all know there will be at least a couple of brilliant tunes on there. It's just whether he picks the right songs and the life doesn't get produced out of them that matters.

So the sings are only "great"?
Since when has the Chief ever settled for "great"?
I'm expecting the album to be the biggest event in the universe since the big bang!

I've not got high hopes for the new album. Not that I think it'll be objectively bad, just got a feeling it'll be mostly in the same vein as 'She Must Be One Of Us' which isn't really my thing.

The songs are gonna be good as always.
But i fear that the production and the arrangements of the songs,are gonna be plodding and boring as always with the exception of Don't believe the truth and Dig out your soul,both of wich had lively and interesting production despite the fact that the songs were not as strong as the the ones from the first 3 albums.

Remind me of Alan McGee sayin' before the first record that he heard Noel's demos and the songs are brilliant but he's worrying they can fuck up the production (He didn't say that exactly but something like "the only problem could be to record them right" ).
Whatever you can say about Alan McGee, that guy always had a good nose for music, didn't he.

Of course not, that's silly. You would just answer the question about Noel and an Oasis reunion and be done with it. There is an interview somewhere where Noel is talking about Be Here Now and how everybody he played it to before the release was saying it was the "greatest thing ever apart from Paul Weller who said it was shite" and "your not gonna put that out are ya?" were the quotes I seem to remember. Anyway it's all subjective anyway regardless of whether Paul Weller likes it or not has no bearing of whether you or I will like it but it is nice to hear positive things from such people about what they have heard. It all builds the anticipation for when it is released. Can't Wait. |

I remember reading that after Noel played him Be Here Now he said that "he wasn't having it."

Goes to prove he doesn't always give positive thoughts on everything he hears just because they are friends. They seem the type of people that can be honest with each other and yet still have that respect
