That's good? I mean, Vice is pretty important, isn't it? Ho did they receive HFB1? Pretty bad, I guess. I can't even find anything on their site about the first record. I hate review like that. 3/4 of it is essentially reiterating that people aren't going to give it a chance. Ending with "actually it's pretty good though." Surely they they could have reviewed the album for a whole paragraph and left their personal commentary out of it.

When Vice say no one one will listen to it they mean no one from within their pretentious uber hipster echo chamber...

Almost all reviews and comments I've read suggest that CY is at least on par with the last album. If that is true, then I don't care what the review score is because NGHFB was a great album so the new album can't be bad.

Dutch magazine Oor gave it a great review. They even included the album in a selection of best albums of the last two months.

Oor review translation:
In the last Oor Noel Gallagher said he likes the opening song of his new album even more than Live Forever. The song is Riverman and it's a great song on witch Gallagher mixes a Santana ish solo with a subtle saxaphone explosion reminiscent of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Riverman marks the beginning of a really strong second album from the High Flying Birds with all the classic Gallagher ingredients :uptempo rock n roll that (lock all the doors) a ballad that could have been on Urban Hymns by The Verve (the dying of the light) and a feelgood popsong thats equally predictable as it is brilliant (you know we can't go back) It's not often Gallagher leaves his comfortzone but on the almost 6 minute long trip The Right Stuff he lets go of the traditional song structure and depends on a groovy bass line that brings back memories of Go Let It Out. Even more progress is heard in The Ballad Of The Mighty I, a song built around a disco bass and the brilliant guitar work of fellow legend Johnny Marr. Surprisingly there are very little Beatles/sixties influences, that makes it hard to understand why it's called chasing yesterday.
hope i did an ok job translating it...

Thanks very much! If he really prefers Riverman to Live Forever then I'm glad he dropped Do The Damage.

'Very little Beatles and 60s influences' Great news, sick and tired of those influences that had been done to death in the 2000s. If I want something that sounds like The Beatles, I'll go and listen to The Beatles rather than pale imitations. I really don't know how hard that is to understand for everyone in Oasis.

DGSS is the pinnacle of a atrocious Beatles influence.

I love the Beatles. And I love Liam's voice. So, to an extent it doesn't bother me that Beady Eye were making similar sounding, if inferior, music. It's still more enjoyable to listen to than 90% of the shit you hear on the radio and in the clubs.

a ballad that could have been on Urban Hymns by The Verve (the dying of the light) Weeping Willow? Good call, played on both on guitar and noticed the chords are pretty much the same. Not a bad thing - both are great songs.

ANYWAY, I feel like this album could perhaps be my favourite of the decade so far.... Urban Hymns sounds like a great comparison - The Drugs Don't Work? From what we've heard:
In The Heat if the Moment - 7/10 Ballad of the Mighty I - 8.5/10 The Dying of the Light (soundcheck) - 8/10 Lock all the Doors (demo) - 7.5/10 Average - 7.75/10
Which is very good considering two of those aren't even the official versions! I wasn't here last time so can people tell me were the previews/pre release reviews this good for NGHFB?

It's still more enjoyable to listen to than 90% of the shit you hear on the radio and in the clubs. I love The Beatles too, got every song they ever did, all the Anthologies and numerous books on them, and I love Oasis. But Oasis/Beady Eye/ Noel (certainly in the way Dave Sardy loved retro shite production) trying to sound like The Beatles is just really really lazy, uninspired, narrow minded and backward looking. Ironically, to take influence from such an innovative, ground breaking band as The Beatles, Oasis never sounded so backwards and derivative and just plain shit when they tried to sound like The Beatles. Some of the songs are just embarrassing - Dig Out Your Soul took things to the maximum in terms of being derivative of The Beatles, and the less I say about some of Beady Eye's debut songs ( and some from BE), the better. And everything has been said about how annoyingly retro the production from the first Noel album was (the sparse sounding tunes such as I'd Pick You Everytime and Alone on bathe Rope were the better produced tunes). I've said this before, but it's really sad that when Oasis were at their peak, there was merely a nod towards the Fab Four, but once the 2000s came, it was a full on headbutt. And it was really really really boring.
