Love You Know We Can't Go Back, Holy Mountain and Heat Of The Moment as well even though they always get shit on, I love the energetic Oasis style songs and love all the newer stuff as well.
The only ones I'm not that keen on are songs like The Right Stuff, Be Careful What You Wish For and Rattling Rose. I don't really know how to describe these type of songs but I'm sure you know what I mean, the slightly jazzy acoustic driven songs.
Those songs just kind of float along aimlessly, I always zone out when listening to them, they're just not 'out there' and interesting enough instrumentally or production wise for me either...Riverman being the exception though

I love Lock All The Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back, they're great little tunes. Blue Moon Rising is ok but it's certainly not one of my favourites from Noel. Infact I would put it in last place out of all of the lead tracks on those EPs.

The chorus of Blue Moon Rising is addictive

One thing I will never understand is the pathological hate towards Lock All the Doors. I honestly can't hear what's wrong with it. Sure, it could do with Liam's vocals but I've always thought of it as a great rocker and I can't wait to hear it live one day. Perhaps it could be a bit heavier? I have always liked it. Could it benefit from Liam's voice? Of course, as almost any other rocker on Planet Earth. But I don't even think it's the most obvious case. 'Come on outside' for instance seems to me much more clearly written with Liam in mind Next in my list of unpopular opinions: 1) I think The Girl with X-Ray Eyes is an amazing composition (Weller is with me on this one, and he knows one of two things about songwriting) 2) I don't think Sardy ruined IIHAG. The acoustic versión is also great? Yeah. Does his production add anything to the song? No, it doesn't. Does it "ruin the song"? No, in whatever version it's one of the few NGHFB songs that casual music listeners like immediately |

I think they play it a tad faste live and I think it sounds better that way. Apart from that, I never had any problem with the production, in fact, I think the whole album sounds pretty good. |

I remember in 2015 waiting for the band to play that song and they never did. Probably one of my favorites from Chasing Yesterday.

Flying On The Ground just keeps getting better and better for me. Deceptively brilliant.

Yeah one of the few exciting songs of CY. Along with You Know We Can't Go Back, Riverman, While the Song Remains the Same, Do the Damage or the right stuff. The rest can stay in Noel's sock drawer forever, as far as i'm concerned. |

Love the Sons Of The Desert remix of Blue Moon Rising. Should have been the one on the EP. Bugging me that we have no idea who did it. X |

I generally hate it along with Girl With X Ray Eyes, really poor pastiches/rehashes - a major issue with a lot of Chasing Yesterday I felt. But I listened to it via the best of album and it’s not as bad as I thought and there is a song in there. What it is is an Oasis song and one that definitely needs Liam so desperately - this is a guy so great he could elevate a piss poor song like Lyla and make it sound good. Additionally, Noel can’t sing Oasis rockers. And the production is so bland and lifeless, it should be much heavier and given the Owen Morris treatment. If I’d heard Liam singing this first time around with the heavy reverend guitars, I’d immediately like it. I listened to it again with the best of and it still sounds like it should've stayed in the 90s. Late 40s Noel vocals does nothing for it. Sounds like a big budget karaoke session. Imagine '94-95 vocals Liam at the "I tried to catch her, every night" bit and just knowing Liam is going is elongate and add a vicious snarl towards the end of it. Couple in Bonehead's tidal wave of Barre chords as well. Next Oasis best of title right there folks. X |

The DHL tracking site says that the things I orderer from the Noel store were dispatched from Germany. Could that be true or did it just go from the UK to Germany? I’m asking because of the import fees and all that.

I’m asking because of the import fees and all that. Anyway, my package FINALLY came including a lot of CDs and a 7”. £30, 15 for delivery and no additional fees... but a CD and the vinyl were halfway out of their sleeves in the package and the poster is torn. That’s almost no damage but still, it was down to plain luck that nothing important got ruined. Not happy for that kind of money. |

The acoustic version of If I Had A Gun is much better than the album version in my opinion of course. |

I'm really enjoying the bonus disc on Back The Way We Came
The 3 acoustic versions are fantastic, especially the If I Had A Gun one which now is definitely my go-to version of the song, but The Dying Of The Light is also great and The Man Who Built The Moon surprised me as I didn't think it would work this well on acoustic
The International Magic demo is interesting, probably a glimpse into some sonic ideas that later gave life to some of the things on the record
The two Skeleton Key remixes are brilliant, and I love the Blue Moon Rising one as well, don't mind The Reflex version of Black Star Dancing too, although I listen to it less
I guess we could've gone with some other material instead of the instrumentals, personally I enjoy them as I believe the chose songs warrant them, but I'd have rather had some more remixes/acoustic versions
Overall though it makes for a very satisfying listen on its own I gotta say
Obviously as I think everyone here I would've loved to get a new record out of lockdown, but couple the bonus material with the two new songs, which I think are amazing, and we got a real nice treat to kill the wait

I've done a remaster on The Death of You and Me. Thoughts?
I have also done a full remaster of the debut album which has been done by me and it will contain 20 bonus tracks, with demos and rarities. This will be coming soon, but for now enjoy this teaser!

Noel really missed trick by not putting all of the original songs from the E.P's to on the second disc of the best of. Would have been a nice way to have all these tracks on CD.

I'm this close to make a new "EP LP" with This is the Place and Black Star Dancing Skeleton Key remixes in places of the originals. You are warned Noel, those versions are almost out in my itunes playlist.
