Funny! This is not a comparison cause I like Both, but Beady Eye and NGHFB are really similar in The way, that The first Album both made was really safe and yeah...boring. For The second output Both said things like "space Jazz" or "Rock'n'Roll fired into space" and we got, in the opinion of The most here it seems, better records in songwriting and producing Kind, but still fuckin safe Wirth just a few sounds or exotic inatruments er synths. NGHFB is not boring at all. Production could be better but the songs are truly fantastic. And notice I say "better production", not more "experimental" because that particular set of songs do not ask for it. Actually, they ask for a more naked sound. A proof the album is not boring at all for most people is that it keeps selling well 3 years after(and that is only possible through word of mouth) and the singles are great singalongs in the gigs. That did not happen for an oasis-related album since BHN And, btw, I cannot understand the hate to DGSS either. It is far from NGHFB heights, and I agree production is too retro, but it has many good songs, many of them better than most of the LAG output with Oasis. |

I meant boring in the way of production and that The songs were known. The Songs on dgss and nghfb are great but IMO nghfb sounds flat, especially the plodding drums. Like you said a more naked sound would have been better |

The issue is that Liam hyped DGSS to a level that it was almost impossible to deliver("It'll be bigger than DM") and when it was released people were left dissapointed(myself included), sometimes you need to shut up and let the music do the talk, I think Noel did that for his albums and it showed(also having WAL in a ad didn't hurted). |

Oasis have broken up more times than I've had hot dinners. You clearly take things way to seriously. Zombie Oasis! No, Zombie was by The Cranberries |

Nah it's just my grandma who watches a lot of German tv and listens to a local radio station that plays a lot of Dutch and German stuff  It's very popular in certain areas though. |

The Girl With X Ray Eyes grew on me lately. I still play the hell out of this album, it has great vibe as a whole. That's mostly how i'm listening to it, from the beginning to end.

I'd like to see them go in the direction of Be Here Now and Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, just with better songs. You remind me of thedon. A lot. |

Looking at the songs, in the way it was live, I rather DGSS to BE. My list of favourite songs on DGSS is much stronger than the list of BE. If wasn't the terrible production, we'd have a better and more convincing album. On HFB we have a extraordinary album, but with a sleepy production. Just have a look on Record Machine from Oasis and from HFB, or in the live version of Wrong Beach compared to the album version. Sardy took off all the power and the original magic of those songs, but it still is a great album. |

Too bad Noel didn't save it for CY and Sardy got his hands on it first. R.I.P. |

Been listening to NGHFB today and yep it's a really great album ruined to a large extent by Sardy and by the fact AOTR isn't on it. I'll never forgive Sardy for what he did to IIHAG. The outstanding songwriting still shines through though. |

HAHA, I thought Liam meant it was going to sound like Pink Floyd or something. But its no surprise. I have a confession to make though, I haven't got Beady Eyes second record yet. I just haven't got around to buying it, but I will. I got Noels first one as soon as it got released. With my prediction of Oasis's next album sometime in 2016, I will probably get it with Noels new album of course soon. But I got hold of the singles from Be Here Now, but that is a waste of time probably if its being remastered and I'll probably like the remaster better with the extra cd anyway and b sides. The covers look interesting I suppose. I think also a unreleased demos and unreleased album might come out soon as well. Line of the video: "Last time was a bit fucking stupid."

Noel could have finally given us all a physical release of Alone On The Rope. Remixes have no place on Oasis / Noel Gallagher albums. The remix feels completely out of place and merely serves to dilute the brilliance that precedes it. It's not on the album. The album ends with botmi. |

the more i hear of this album live, the more i think it shouldve been released that way. first album was better overall (in my opinion), but this one is 100% better live. songs i thought were kind of average (for noel anyway) have resonated much deeper for me in gig form. e.g. the mexican, DTD, BoTMI.

Upon first listen, I really enjoyed the pace and flow with the track listing. It feels less like a collection of songs and more like a defined album. I sort of, kind of felt similar with NGHFB, but much more so with this record. What I appreciate most is that it sounds like Noel is coming into his own as a solo artist. He isn't trying to sound like anybody else (or the person/songwriter he used to be in Oasis), which is a big step in the right direction for him. It's a good thing he chose to produce the record himself instead of hiring Dave Sardy again—Chasing Yesterday has a crisper, more defined and far more reserved sound than any of the records he cut with Sardy (which were muddled with more reverb than necessary). Chasing Yesterday is a solid record, and a perfect record for Noel to make at this point in his career. It's much more of a statement of who he is as a solo artist (and where he's headed) than NGHFB. From first impressions, my favorite tracks were Riverman, You Know We Can't Go Back, The Dying of the Light, and Lock All The Doors. I thought the only weak track was The Right Stuff—though that can change over time. (Also, am I the only one who really wants to hear Rita do a cover of Dying of the Light?) Yes, me! It's on  |

I didn't listen to CY a lot in the last 2 weeks. Doing it now, what a great album.
While the Song Remains the Same and You Can't Go Back are just emotional. Still can't stand the studio version of Dying of the Light. Nothing wrong with it but I just don't enjoy the song.
