If we had a choice of an album full of Ballad of Mighty Is or The Good Rebels, I'd easily take Mighty I. I don't like "electonica" or "edm" at all but TBOTMI is neither of those. Its Noel taking a slight step out of his comfort zone and freshening it up a bit. Sometimes you need a few fresh sounds rather than the same 3 chords over and over. Like Tame Impala. An album like lonerism would be perfect. There was the right mix of rock and spacey sounds in that album and it is really perfect. While Currents is good, I felt it veered one way a little too much and most of the songs after Let It Happen were fine but also in the grand scheme of their disography, forgettable. Noel finding the right mix of sounds without fully stepping over the line would be ideal. Don't go Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay, but for the love of Noel no more Good Rebels. The Good Rebel is a shit song, but so is The Ballad of The Mighty I. Don't see how it's Noel out of his comfort zone, I'd rather say it's an uninspired Noel who tries to make up a mediocre song with some shitty arrangements. His voice during the chorus is unbearable and the melody is insipid. There's not a lot to save in that song, and I'll never understand why it gets such good critics over here. I don't mind Noel going out of his comfort zone but he hasn't begun to do it yet. He just needs to find his inspiration again. Oh yeah, may god or whatever is out there prevent us of an album full of The Ballad of The Mighty I. Even Liam has not written such a shitty song. Hell, even Gem and Andy have not written such a shit song. It's embarrasing from start to finish, and that awful pre-chorus, makes my whole body cringe. It's a insult to music, that's what that song is. And i'm a Noel fanboy. I'll add In the Heat of the Moment to the list as well, and The Mexican. Most of Chasing yesterday have been pretty disappoiting to say the least. I'd rather have a 90s dad rock Noel than a 80s dad rock Noel.

But probably because it was something different. It didn't feel like a by the numbers Noel song.

Ballad of the Mighty I is a fantastic song. The guitar riff at the end by Marr fits perfectly, it's well produced, it has actually pretty good lyrics, and great vocal by Noel, and is out of comfort zone. If that's bad songwriting, I'll gladly write 10 of those

I felt NGHFB was essentially a Sardy produced, Noel sung, Oasis 8 (A Liam stranded on the Wrong Beach needs to be found, I'm sure its in the vault somewhere, would be amazing). I felt that 1-10, the album was full of strong songs individually. Not much flow going on. On first listen it was superb, but I felt if I listened to it again, it would get stale very quickly. I think for me it was due to a mix of Sardy and the lack of flow.
CY was better produced, had a better flow and to me the standout songs were better, but the fillers were weaker. For listening experience and being able to listen to the album on repeat, I definitely prefer CY. but if you were to go song vs song, I can't quite tell what I like better on that front. Probably still CY.
I'm also very, very weird with Noel songs. I think SBAJF is a brilliant standout, I have no problem whatsoever with X-ray Eyes and Lock All the Doors does little for me cause I fell in love with the rawness and youthfulness of the demo.

It's cool to see such diversity of opinion when it comes to Noel's music. There is no unanimous top track...most seem to get an equal number of love and hate when all is said and done. One person's favorite song is another person's least favorite, etc. And I don't know what that says about the music exactly. Is that a good or a bad thing? It is what it is I guess.
To put my two cents in, We Can't Go Back was my favorite track from CY, followed by The Right Stuff and Mighty I. To me, the album was composed entirely of good tracks that lacked a certain punch that kept them from being stellar. Luckily, I didn't find any bad. At this point in Noel's career, I'm definitely happy with that.

Ballad of the Mighty I is his best solo song. Agree. It's dynamic, memorable enough, has good lyrics and very good vocals. It's different enough, but still very Noel. How anyone could think this is the worst Oasis related song ever is beyond me, but each to their own.

ASGOG is his best solo work to date. Hands down.

His best solo song is clearly Alone On The Rope Between that and While the Song Remains the Same for me.

Don't Stop and Just Let It Come Down Over Me are his best songs in a long time... Yes, I'm talking from Sept 2017 I just wish more people understood what Noel is doing and less people wanted him to sync up with trendy music. Just pick up a guitar and bring a melody into existence like those two songs, and THEN...we can talk about taking "steps backward" Those songs are over 12 years old. I really hope Noel doesn't have to retreat to those old DBTT outtakes. I'd be disappointed. Don't Stop is quickly joining the ranks of Show Me Your Love as one of the most overrated Gallagher songs of all time. I mean all we've heard is a shitty recording at a soundcheck. Didn't impress me much. Sounds too Noel dad rock acoustic strummer. He doesn't need more of that. Never understood the fascination with Don't Stop The Happening either. Extremely dull tune.

That and The Death of You and Me. The Right Stuff! I like the Right Stuff. The music is great. But the lyrics are super cheesy. The jeans get frayed line almost kills the song.

But the lyrics did need another read through.
