Maybe, although likely could just be the ticketing website listing it differently.

Officially excited. I really don't think David Holmes is going to have let him get away with anything beige, he'd have left the project, he seems a man of integrity (turning down Chasing Yesterday shows that). Can't wait to see what they've come up with.

Maybe 17 years on we'll finally get the album I was waiting for after SOTSOG when Noel initially talked about a new direction, before the reviews came in and he bottled it. His best songs since then have all been the more interesting ones, if I want Don't look Back in Anger or Supersonic I'll listen to Don't Look Back in Anger or Supersonic, no point doing pale imitations.

Hopefully he's finally off the leash, bring it on!

I mentioned following in the vein of SOTSOG, does that imply DJ or 'dance' to you? You must have an incredibly small musical mind if that scares you. I fully understand what his music is about, I think you're showing a lack of musical knowledge if you really think you can't have those melodies but with different music around them.

So you don't like Falling Down, or Gas Panic, or What a Life, or f***ing in the bushes and would rather he just kept pumping out stuff like If I had a gun? That to me is just so dull, and I am sure Noel would like to show the world he can do more. For one thing it'll greatly enhance his reputation and place amongst the greats if he shows he can branch out. That's not important to me but I suspect it may be to him, given all the criticism he gets for not progressing.

I really don't see the point in making the same album over and over, it gets dull. Noel probably used all his best ideas for the kind of songs you want years ago, hence why you get songs like Lock all the Doors when he tries to re-do it, because he's having to force it. However, he's probably full of ideas for something different, which is why he's talked about doing it for nigh on 2 decades. I'm glad he's apparently finally taken the plunge and scratched that itch that's probably been gnawing away. Which means we'll hopefully get something far more exciting and original rather than variation 37 of the wonderwall chords.

If you think electronic/DJ dance is something 'trendy' you're only showing your own ignorance. I'm sorry if you won't be able to enjoy the album because you've already decided melody plus electronic isn't possible. You're missing out on a lot.

Locks All The Doors (Reprise) will be a great lead single. Bring on the album!





kidding

You're in the wrong thread, mate!

If that song was done right it would have been his biggest hit since D'You Know What I Mean?
That song had so much potential.

I was really excited but since I know he is really good friends with Bono/U2, my expectations are much lower. Just like Noel/Oasis, U2 could have had some amazing albums after Be Here Now/Pop, but they didn't because didn't want to take any risk.

No Line on the Horizon should have been a great album, Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois did a great job but they ruined it with putting Get on Your Boots, Crazy Tonight and Stand up Comedy on the album. That's why I think we will get at least 2 songs like Lock All the Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back on there.

Some folk also think the two NGHFB albums are great (especially CY) and mark a return to form of Noel.
You don't like them, we get it: you have written like one hundred posts explaining it, which is fine.
But, hey, that someone thinks differently than you does not mean they are troglodites. I like electronic music (and many other styles), but I actually think CY is genuinely great and will be happy if I get an album with 10 songs as good. Don't mind particularly about it being more rock or more electronic.

Noel's album won't be full blown electronic and it won't be full blown safe/ same old stuff either. It'll be a mix of what we've been getting on the previous albums, songs like 'The Right Stuff' and songs like 'The Dying Of The Light' and the odd heavier sounding song like 'The Wrong Beach'

Noel's not going to venture too far out of his comfort zone and anyone who's hoping for this to happen will be disappointed. It'll be the production that'll be different this time around but the songs will be there just with a new fresh take just like Dave Sitek on BE.

I always laugh at DBTT. Noel and Gem said they had like 40 songs for it yet had to add three at the very end to beef it up (Lyla, Idle, Love). Where did all these songs go? DGSS and HFB?

IMO Do The Damage should only be an opener and Noel was right to leave it off after Riverman came along. If there was something like A Quick Peep or an Intermission tune then it could work to 're-start' the album or open the second half, but it doesn't work otherwise.

Now Freaky Teeth on the other hand...that could replace The Mexican. However The Mexican is a decent tune as seen from the live versions, it just needed to recorded and produced differently.
