If we can believe in Noel's word, this album is going to be EPIC. Looks like we've heard the commercial material, and now we'll get The Right Stuff (sorry for the bad joke, mates).

Some very interesting info from this week's NME: Riverman: it features a Pink Floyd-like guitar solo and a saxophone player " summoned from a smoky room in 1963, and is fucking amazing. It’s my favourite track on the album, and one of my favourites I’ve ever done." The Right Stuff: it's got sax in it too. Comes from the AA album (" that will never see the light of day") but has been recut to fit CY: " The one on this record is vastly different from the first one, which had a lot of noodling and fucking about. It’s become quite psychedelic, jazz, fucking whatever you wanna call it.” The Mexican: comes from the AA album too. " The riffs and the cowbell are a bit Queens Of The Stone Age, perhaps? I thought The Rolling Stones, and Johnny Marr when he heard it said, ‘That’s fucking T Rex.’ But if it’s a cross between T Rex, The Rolling Stones and Queens Of The Stone Age, fucking hell, I’ll take that any day. That track comes after a run of quite intense and emotional and... not dark but navy-blue songs, and I needed something to lighten the mood. It’s not the greatest thing I’ve ever written but it is gonna fucking smash the arse out of every live gig.” NME says it's got interesting lyrics, mentioning a revolution. Lock All The Doors: reminds a bit of Morning Glory (the song) You Know We Can't Go Back: "It’s about a boy and a girl preparing to run away from the situation they’re in, and one of them turning to the other and saying, ‘We’re going, this is it, we can’t go back.’ It’s actually genius."He decided to change the word "brother" with "lover" in a line to avoid silly questions about him and Liam. The line is now "take me to my lover’s arms". Great. Can't wait! |

Is Riverman going to be dark? Could it be a Gas Panic part 2? Oh please let it be so!

If there are tracks on the album that are better than BOTMI, this could be the best Gallagher album since Morning Glory (The Masterplan doesn't count as it's a compilation). Good times ahead. |

I think this one may be quite good, for the way Noel's describing it. |

The Right Stuff“I played The Right Stuff to a mate of mine,” says Gallagher, mentioning one of the most out-there tracks on an already out-there album. “And he said: ‘finally’. I didn’t know what he meant at first, but then I realised. The Right Stuff is space jazz. We used to take the piss out of space jazz in Oasis. When people told us we weren’t adventurous we would say, ‘what do you want, space jazz?’ And now I’ve made a track that is real, actual, spaced-out jazz. And you know what? It’s great.” RivermanGallagher thinks Riverman might be the best song he has ever written. He’s pretty sure it’s the best-sounding song he’s ever made. And he knows it’s the best-produced song he has ever been involved with.The Girl With X-Ray Eyes
The Girl With X-Ray Eyes is more personal, an ode to Gallagher’s wife with a nod to David Bowie’s Starman. “If most people write a song and someone tells them it sounds a bit like David Bowie, they’ll try and move away from that and make it more like The Libertines or something. If someone says that to me I’ll make it sound even more like David Bowie, to the point where Bowie might actually sue me…and then back it off a bit. As for the words, they’re about the kind of girl who sees through your bullshit. We all know them. They’re the ones we end up getting married to.” You Know We Can't Go Back, Lock All the Doors & The Dying of the Light
There is a maturing of the epic, heart-swelling Oasis sound on You Know We Can’t Go Back, The Dying Of The Light and Lock All The Doors, the last one a song that has taken Gallagher 23 years to write. He gave a verse of an early draft of the song to the Chemical Brothers for their 1996 number one hit Setting Sun, thinking he would complete it soon afterwards, but it never came together. Then in 2013 he was on his way back from his local Tesco Metro when he had a songwriter’s equivalent of a Damascene revelation. While the Song Remains the Same & The MexicanWhile The Song Remains The Same is a reflection on the Manchester Gallagher grew up in, one that now exists only in the imagination. The Stonesy, riff-heavy The Mexican has its roots in a shelved project Gallagher worked on with psychedelic production duo the Amorphous Androgynous, while Ballad Of The Mighty I, the album’s emotional closer, gets its disco guitar sound courtesy of Johnny Marr, still Gallagher’s great guitar hero. GeneralJust as Gallagher could only have written late 20th century hymns like Rock ’n’ Roll Star and Live Forever as a young man on the cusp of a great adventure, so he could only have written Chasing Yesterday now. There are anthems of the kind Gallagher does so well, but moments of quiet reflection too. The album is musically far-reaching and lyrically questioning without ever taking itself too seriously. It’s a rock’n’roll classic that’s big enough to handle a bit of space jazz.Ballad Of The Mighty I completes Chasing Yesterday, an album that is, if not exactly Noel Gallagher’s Jazz Odyssey, then certainly his galactic ramble. For every Oasis-styled monster there’s a free-flowing groover, for every moment of lyrical profundity there’s a nugget of throwaway absurdity. It’s the sound of Noel Gallagher finding his freedom.

Sounds amazing.
Is anyone else worried about Riverman? I hope it will live up to the hype. This better not be Stop The Clocks 2.0

Really, really pumped for this! 'Riverman', 'The Mexican' and 'Lock All The Doors' sound great... exactly what I personally wanted and combined with 'ITHOTM', 'BOTMI' and 'Dying Of The Light' this could be the strongest album for some time. Thats what I'm hoping anyway.

With the three songs we've heard so far (In The Heat of The Moment, Do The Damage, Mighty I), I feel The Dying of The Light might stick out with it's throw back Noel ballad feel. Everything else sounds more hip.

It's funny how many songs Noel thinks could be the best he's ever written. I first heard it about Masterplan and I don't know that he's improved on that....
