Sorry if I've offended, was just giving my opinion. I won't criticise Noel's precious material ever again. |

So if half of CY is good in terms of lyrics and instrumentation but BE is better, does that mean you think more than half of BE delivers both on instrumentation and lyrics? I find that hard to believe. Perhaps I'm ignorant. Yeah, sorry but I honestly find BE to be a much more enjoyable album. But that's just me and I understand that most people prefer Noel. Liam's voice is way more pleasurable to my ears, as much as I do love Noel too. As for Noel's first album, I listen to the b-sides and remixes on a regular basis, but haven't listened to the album tracks in about a year. It's personal taste at the end of the day but in boredom whilst waiting for CY to leak, 2 weeks ago I went back and listened to BE. I was shocked at how poor it was and could barely listen to it. |

It takes one look at some of y'all's previous posts to see where you're really coming from. It's just not that healthy to have this much negative energy.

Ha, yeah you're right, it's just personal taste. There's just something about BE that's makes me go back to it frequently, it's mostly nostalgia from the summer two years ago where that album was mostly what I listened to. |

Fifty shades of beige. I can't say I'm disappointed as I wasn't expecting much after hearing the two singles. An average at best album, marginally better than the last one. No matter how many times people parrot Noel, there is very little creative or innovative about it, and I think many will realise that once the traditional new album hysteria dies down. Noel said it himself - "the music that's being made now is so fucking bland", and he's spot on! Totally agree with this, the album has some good moments but nothing that lifts it to Noel's normal standard. Riverman is the finest point along with lock all the doors. It's sounds very dad rock but I guess that's his age showing through. Also it's like Noel has tried to recreated the dance beat from WAL on many of the songs. |

To the people who are dissapointed i would recommend to give it more time, few more listens. And i'm not a blind Noel fan boy, i was actually dissapointed by the first record, but this one really is different and much better. It's just that most of these song don't hit you the first time for example like Supersonic or some of Oasis songs did. It's more ambient, takes more time to kinda get the whole point of the song, but it's worth it, i like it more every listen.

On BE, the track 'Off At The Next Exit' really got to me, both due to it's lyrical content and instrumentally. I need both of these things for me to enjoy and fully appreciate a song (apart from if it's an instrumental track). I can sort of get this from only about half of CY. 'Alone On A Rope' is a good example of what I enjoy from Noel's solo output. So if half of CY is good in terms of lyrics and instrumentation but BE is better, does that mean you think more than half of BE delivers both on instrumentation and lyrics? I find that hard to believe. Perhaps I'm ignorant. I don't see why people feel the need to demand an explanation if somebody's personal preference leads them to prefer an album other than CY, even if it's BE of anything else??? I am really enjoying CY, more than I have enjoyed an album for a long time because it's what I want to hear nowadays. We don't have to defend and argue the album against each negative. It's like the NME review, I thought it was decent, positive and complementary on the whole. Score 7/10 seemed one short based on the review BUT it's cool. |

I'm disappointed with the singles. Poor stuff. Also with The Mexican, possibly the worst Noel song ever (it even plagiarises clearly one of the best songs of the 00's from the indispensables Black Rebel Motorcycle Club).
The rest is between good and very good.
I was more disappointed with the debut.
Anyways, I expect more from Noel...
PS: I think BE (special edition) is the best Gallagher post-Oasis album. Even though is far from being a masterpiece.

I'm truly disappointed, really expected more from Noel
The album in general is weak, some songs are silly (The mexican, YKWCGB) or forgettable (WTSRTS) or are in the wrong place( Riverman is a bad opening, a good song though) or killed by production (Dying Of The Light is so strong in soundcheck) the others is just ok, with exception of The Right Stuff(amazing).
Noel needs to rediscover the word epic, or stop calling the songs that way, but that only my opinion.

I like it , I don't think he's pushed the boundaries , more like a soft nudge , but Im glad he hasn't went too crazy and released a drum and bass album. I know Noel has written the entire Oasis back catalogue bar a few tracks and all his solo stuff, some of his new tracks are a bit 'samey' . I just hope he hasn't ran out of ideas/inspiration

Nothing more to say is there? Are there any albums around that you are feeling? |

I think once the hype calms down, I think most people will think the album is average. Like what seems to happen around here with most album releases... That said, the production is good, but the songs just aren't very strong. There's a few gems, but compared to the standard we typically hold Noel to, it just doesn't hold up. I think more people enjoy it for the "experimental" parts of it and that it's different than the actual strength of the songs.

I honestly wholeheartedly think its better than the front loaded plodder that was NGHFB 1. Each to their own. |
