Man, the only way this album will be as good as the first one is if this song is the "Dream On" of the new album... Well, it is the 2nd track...

Man, the only way this album will be as good as the first one is if this song is the "Dream On" of the new album... That's why we're spending time on fan forums, to share opinions...because in my world "Dream On" is actually the best song on NGHFB, pop-wise. Great melody, nonsense lyrics, repetitive after all, but seemingly encapsularing 50 years of british pop music into a single song - that's the ingredients that made Noel's songwriting so special in the first place. It's been the only song from that album, this year, that I remotely felt the need to listen to. I would love to have heard a Liam-sung version as well, since it was reportedly demoed by Noel and Gem at the end of the DOYS session. For some reason I'm also quite sure that Chasing Yesterday is not going to disappoint us. I have a certain, strange trust in Noel, like most of us on here probably. He will deliver.

Well, it is the 2nd track... #2 tracks on Oasis/BDI/HFB's albums: DM: Shakermaker MG: Roll With it BHN: My Big Mouth SOTSOG: Go Let It Out HC: Force of Nature DBTT: Mucky Fingers DOYS: The Turning DGSS: Millionaire HFB: Dream On BE: Soul Love CY: In the Heat of the Moment? Obviously, a few exceptions in there but the second track has tended to be one of the weaker tracks a Gallagher released album. Of the 10 released, I'd say 6/10 times the second track was one of the weaker tracks. Though to be fair, looking at those track two's above, that's not too bad of an album right there.

Interesting view, my man. Sorry to say i dont share it though. Its probably the weakest song, tied with stop the clocks... Go figure

ITHOTM is good. I absolutely love Do the Damage, Revolution Song and Freaky Teeth. I love Lock All the Doors, but it's hard to talk about this one. The Dying of the Light is good, but If I Had a Gun is better. I need to hear the album version, though.
My expectations are high as we are talking about the biggest Rock songwriter of the last 20 years. Also, i love everything (not everything, but we're close) he writes.

I think the guitar he plays in the video is the same one pictured in the SOTSOG booklet.

Brilliant single. Noel's songwriting is definitely riding high. His voice is also best it's ever been. Loving the disco direction.

It's stuck in my head often, but I never feel the need to listen to it for some reason.

Do The Damage is his greatest b-side since a long time. cracking.

You know what's crazy? A lot of people seem to be fairly lukewarm on this song/single, but for me personally this song is my favorite thing that Noel has released in nearly 10 years, since TIOBI.
I think I like it so much because when was the last time Noel put out a song that was just fun? The tune is engaging and catchy. It's fun to listen and groove along to. In the Heat of the Moment is so far away from the "mopey geezer going through the motions dad-rock" and the usual criticisms that are directed at Noel. It can fit nicely as a current song you could hear at a bar or a club, but it still has that very strong melody that we associate with Noel Gallagher songs.
ITHOTM is lively and has ENERGY, and it's a good statement song showing the world that he can be creative and still have a lot left in the tank.

David Bowie - In the heat of the morning
We all know Noel is a great Bowie fan...

I enjoy that album on the whole, but you won't have people singing along to those songs like you will ITHOTM.

The nah nah nahs let it down and I really wish they didn't. Everything else about it is top quality. Got high hopes for the album after this and Do The Damage.

Well, In the Heat of the Moment is growing. But I still like more DTD. I think they're both weak acoustically, though.

Funny on how some people comment on how the songs both suck when done acoustically, while they're not exactly acoustic songs nor haven't they heard them in acoustic versions. Maybe the arrangements would be a bit different too.

Maybe the arrangements would be a bit different too. You can talk directly to me doctor, you don't need to write "some people". I think What a Life is weak acoustically and obviously I haven't listen to ITHOTM and DTD acoustically, but I guess that they're both weak because the best thing of DTD is the sax solo. Without that it wouldn't be the same song. And I love the arrangements on ITHOTM. Maybe ITHOTM would sound good, but I don't think so. I'm saying that because If Noel wants to play them on radios and tv shows he has to play them acoustically. Which is not a big deal, isn't it? Maybe I'm mistaken, it's just my opinion Also, I have fever, so there's a strong possibility

I just changed my vote to really good. I still think that it's a little bit slow. The 2nd part of the song (after the chorus) is way better than the first. A "more rock 'n roll" live version should be great
