But I hope his next album takes this direction:
Alongside the death of you and me, i'd say its his best ever song.

All three songs mentioned are excellent Noel songs. I'll say The Right Stuff and TDOYAM are easily in my HFB top 10, maybe even top 5. But, I still think BOTMI is really overrated around here. It's good, but I just don't think it's THAT good. |

It's good, but I just don't think it's THAT good. After the first listen I would have probably agreed. But it has massively grown on me and its become one of my favourites off of the album. |

It's good, but I just don't think it's THAT good. The bassline,the strings,the guitar licks,the beat...it's a direction I like more than the AA kind of stuff,and I suspect Noel might feel the same |

TDOYAM is meh imo, id take songs like broken arrow, EOTR and what a life over that any day off the first album.

Im referring to the songs he sings. I wouldn't rank it above songs like Champagne supernova. as for The ballad of Mighty I...I dont get it tbh, really not a fan at all |

BOTMI might be my favourite Noel Gallagher tune, even taking into account the Oasis stuff. This may be considered blasphemous but I don't care.

The Right Stuff is obviously his best solo track but I think AA are responsible for most of it

Noel's not given us a full album of good material since Be Here Now, so to be honest, I just want 10 really great songs.

I don't think he's ever given us an album of only quality material, with the possible exception of Definitely Maybe. At this stage in his career, Chasing Yesterday is probably about as close as we're getting to that, which is fine by me. I hope I'm wrong, of course, but if he did produce something with a weakest track significantly better than The Girl with X-Ray Eyes, I'd be very impressed indeed. |

If we'd get another album with 9 good tracks, out of 10, then I'd be happy. That's not bad at all. |

I hope I'm wrong, of course, but if he did produce something with a weakest track significantly better than The Girl with X-Ray Eyes, I'd be very impressed indeed. We must have quite different opinions on Noel's output then. Because to me, just about everything he wrote for the '...Morning Glory?' sessions at Rockfield, both album tracks and b-sides, were completely brilliant. Never has a songwriter been in such blistering form before or since. By 'Be Here Now', obviously he was running out of steam a bit, but if you ignore the length and production of the songs, the tunes themselves are all essentially good tunes. And even if you're not fond of Magic Pie and Fade In-Out, he still had Going Nowhere and Stay Young - in my mind, two undeniably brilliant tunes - making up the numbers as b-sides. Yes, 'Chasing Yesterday' is an assured step in the right direction, and is, I think, the first real effort Noel's made to break from the mediocrity he allowed himself to regress into from 2000 onwards, but as I've said before, I really can't abide Lock All The Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back. If I believed as you do that X-Ray Eyes was the worst song on there, I'm sure I really would love the record (as it is, I'm still really fond of it), because there's nothing wrong with that tune at all. But I just can't stick LATD and YKWCGB. They're all that keeps 'Chasing Yesterday' from being an absolute success imo, and leave me wanting more for the next one. |

But I just can't stick LATD and YKWCGB. They're all that keeps 'Chasing Yesterday' from being an absolute success imo, and leave me wanting more for the next one. As we know, I have a much lower tolerance for a lot of Morning Glory tunes than you. I don't think I've ever listened to Hello, Roll With it, Hey Now!, the excepts or She's Electric outside the context of the album. If any of them were on Chasing Yesterday, I would still consider them weak - or at least weaker than the average track on the album. Also, before or since? Since, fair enough - but before? I think a mid-to-late 60's Bob Dylan might argue with that, as well as Paul McCartney and others. On Be Here Now, the only things that really lower the album are Magic Pie, and the decision not to record the live versions of Be Here Now and Fade In-Out. Stay Young is great but it's still not an album of all great tunes. I think Lock All the Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back are good and great tracks, respectively. You Know We Can't Go Back is just a short, great burst of incredibly melodic pop which should have been a single. For me, The Girl With X-Ray Eyes and The Mexican are the only possible blemishes, but at least the second chorus of the latter is pretty rocking and the solo in the former is damn fun too. |

Yes before. Sure Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney John Lennon were both in incredible form for a great stretch of time, for almost the entirety of the 60s and a lot of the 70s (well, Dylan was anyway), but for Noel to bring all that material to the table, all for one record, is just outrageous. A lion's share of Noel's most well known tunes: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, She's Electric, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova, Acquiesce, The Masterplan etc., and some other tunes that are arguably some of his best work, all released in the same album cycle... Admittedly, some of them were written beforehand, and looking at it in hindsight, he probably should've kept a few back, rather than blowing his load like that, but if you were to write them all down in list form, I don't think it can be argued the material Noel managed to produce in that very brief period in the mid-90s has rarely, if ever, been matched. |
