Imo, along with The death of you and me, its his best song in the past 10 years.
A real masterpiece

The Right Stuff and Riverman have a real good groove to them.
It's amazing how simple the basslines are with Noel - he doesn't seem to bother with it that much, so a good bassline always jumps out at you due to its peculiarity with Noel songs. Also, if he could vary the rhythms a bit more on his next album (less of the mid tempo tunes), it might give way to an even more eclectic album.

It's perplexing to see people presume that just because a piece of work is eclectic or "eclectic" (what they perceived to be eclectic), because it is full of references, it is of quality. It just strikes me as an intellectual pretension, or rather the culprit himself is just involved in some sort of intellectual fraud-- be it, self-deception, self-aggrandizing, charlatanism. Consider this pride. A piece of music may, granted, be cheerful or mournful, induce a certain mood in you, captivate or repel you, even have us exclaiming "It speaks to me". But when it makes us aware that we are retaining music, or have retained music, thereby console us by acquiring "taste," then how paltry a thing taste is.

I'd add Alone on the Rope and The Importance of Being Idle to that list. Riverman probably would make the cut, to round out 5. All five are bonafide amazing songs, if even the public doesn't view them as "classics". The Right Stuff is incredible, still my favorite track off this and its still one of my top songs this year. Really impressive that Noel is branching out just a little bit. Great points on the bass playing. Noel's melodic, space filled bass playing on the record is a really underrated aspect of the record. |

With music (and probably anything else in life), anyone can reduce it down and try and work out what exactly makes us like or dislike something, but in the end all you'll find is it's just the way that any one person's brain is connected up and not much else. So, you could go down that way of thinking and end up finding logically that emotions don't really mean anything, or you can embrace the 'self-deception' as you call it and just enjoy the music for what it is and what it means to you without worrying about whether anyone else likes it or whether one song's technically better or more complex than another. The only thing I couldn't get from your post was whether you like The Right Stuff or not (seeing as that's what the thread's about  ) |
