Alright, alright. I like it. But at this point, I think it's probably, definitely, maybe the weakest lead single I've ever heard from Noel. It may be the weakest single of his solo career. I highly doubt this gets any reasonable airplay. And I doubt that it will reach any new fans. I'd love to be wrong. I'd be flabbergasted if Holy Mountain isn't a huge hit. It's absolutely perfect for radio: catchy chorus, upbeat, euphoric vibes, succinct as humanly possible, etc. And you can dance to it! Trust me, people are gonna love it. |

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a hit. I mean, he's releasing it on a Monday. That's not a great day for charting well.
However, I do believe this will reach new fans.
And people like what they like, and I love this.

One day we'll all think in retrospect that this is pretty lame. The only thing that can save it now is if it, improbably, becomes a hit.

Has anyone else noticed that there don't seem to be any guitars on this? Even better that Noel's forsaking his usual instruments.

I don't actually believe that, but I couldn't resist.

So where's the sample in this one? Or is it as buried as the one in D'You Know What I Mean?

In the press release it was stated that "Holy Mountain is a game of ‘spot the obscure sample’ amidst a joyous wall of sound. Symptomatic of the unhurried back and forth between him and Holmes, Gallagher says of the latter track: “David played me the sample, so I worked out the chords and we demoed just a few, short minutes of it, taking it away on tour and playing with it. When it became a song back in Belfast it was so joyous, I just had to do it justice. What’s more joyous than being in love, baby? So, I wrote a song about love and it’s one of the best things that I’ve ever done.”" So I assume we'll have to chase the sample! |

The only thing I could see is if it's being used in a commercial or something. Maybe? |

I don't think this is his weakest first single at all. If anything, it's better than Heat of the Moment. I'd be very surprised if this was the best song from the album. If anything, it's probably filler.

I do think this will reach new fans. Only a certain type though. Not sure it will reach the millennial crowd (not that it needs to at all), but I think it will reach people who may have never really been into the Oasis sound, but are more into upbeat and energetic retro sounds.

Playing this one backwards is interesting.

Everything else seems to have been recorded together and doesn't have the cut-and-paste aesthetic that most songs comprised of samples tend to have. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this single is this album's Roll With It.

I hope somebody OOPS this one. Surely there's many things hidden.

Holy Mountain has all of the elements that I'd think would catapult it to massive success. And that's before I talk about how good I think it is! |

On first listen I was so shocked by how different it was I simply couldn't comprehend it. Now I've listened a couple of times I think it's great. Every artist should have a moment in their career where they shock everyone with a piece of work completely out of left field. This album is clearly Noel's moment to do that. It's going to be divisive but that's no bad thing, it's going to be nice to see a Gallagher dividing opinions with their work rather than with childish pot shots in interviews.
