Actually looking forward to seeing Brian Cannon's artwork, considering he has been assigned to do the cover work. First time in 17 years he's worked with Noel.

Noel playing an acoustic version on the new single for a bit of a taster at FB then first play on jo Whiley with release being in a few weeks...thats my hope! If Noel does that, man oh man, what an antiquated release strategy. No need to wait weeks, you can just release the damn thing and I bet it'll do better than waiting and bootlegged to death. |

If he was to release the whole Album next week out of the blue, even if it was only online he'd sell a hell of a lot more then if he went for the usual antiquated staggered release strategy where itr leaks a few weeks before release and a few thousand people now won't bother to pay for it. Sod making everyone wait for no reason, single monday, Album Saturday before anyone leaks it and it'll do much better than releasing it in frigging march after its been leaked for ages

I'd love for Noel to do something similar but I know better.  |

IF the single would come out Monday and the ablbum in March, that would mean there's 5 months between those two things. FIVE MONTHS! That is ridiculous. |

the album has to come out before March if a single is being released this coming week.
I also think the album is expected to do well if this kind of promotion is leading up to it.
but, I also don't think Noel really cares when the album's released, it's not like he needs the money. at this point he's probably more concerned with critical acclaim.
God bless.

The cover for HFB was pretty abysmal imo, reminiscent of the Heathen Chemistry one. I don't know whether Cannon's artwork will work quite as well for Noel as it did for nineties Oasis but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. |

That's a nice picture, but to me it's so obviously edited and messed with, it actually ruins it. I really couldn't see Brian Cannon doing something like that, thankfully.

I'm actually quite fond of the High Flying Birds cover. Perhaps its subconscious association with a good album that makes me think like that, but I like it.
Maybe I'd think it's shit if the album was shit, but it is far better than Heathen Chemistry.

Because I'm a cynical bitch like that. Agree on the cover. Horrible one in the same vein as Heathen Chemistry and the Lyla single. The Death Of You And Me was way better but the covers of the other singles were pretty yuck to me as well. |

On another note I'm listening to The Next Day right now, what a fucking amazing brilliant album! I struggle to come up with 4 chord ballads at 22, ive written like 5 songs, how can anyone produce such brilliance in their 60's? baffles me, it's like he's from another world |

I didn't think HFB was much cop to be honest, too bland and middle of the road for my liking. I hope Noely dusts off the old electric guitars for this one... I'm not asking for him to write another Headshrinker or anything, but christ, inject a bit of energy into it this time... |

It has to be said though, that whilst Bowie's immense songwriting talent is something to behold at this point in his career, you can't ignore the man behind him, Tony Visconti on the desk. Those two are almost a songwriting partnership, they complement each other so well. His backing band are bloody great as well. Neither of these things Noel had on the last album imo, lets hope he gets it right this time |

I always hope for the best But let's face it ....noel is mid 40 s really don't see a rocker coming from him , he seems content on safe sound and songs nowadays , why I don't think he will pick up new fans for a long chart run , he will be number 1 in UK for a week msybe 2 but his days of gathering new fans thru electrifying gigs , and cool grooves are over , as long as it is good I don't care tho |

Hard to believe that was the same man who wrote D'You Know What I Mean?... There may be some tunes on the thing, but no Gallagher album should have something like What A Life as it's heaviest tune. In my opinion of course... |
