Actually, the 'She fell, she fell, right under my spell' is catchy as fuck. Hmmm....
Not sure how I feel about all of this.
kind of reminds me how he chose 'In The Heat of the Moment' for Chasing Yesterday, but that lead single didn't represent the album at all. So who the fuck knows how relevant Holy Mountain is?

Heathen Chemistry wasn't really cut-and-paste Oasis either. I think Noel got his Oasis-ish stuff out of his system with the first two albums. He's probably going to sound a lot different from now on. I don't think he cares too much about album sales going by his public remarks. Well the cut-and-paste Oasis didn't exist - no way they could make an album like the ones they did from 94-97, without Bonehead and Guigsy that spirit and camaraderie that encapsulated the first three LPs was gone, Andy and Gem seemed like session musicians rather than crucial parts of the band. Add to the fact Noel was drug free and lost his touch for crafting ravenous youthful anthems along with a Liam whose primal punk vocals had deteriorated. 90s Oasis would only had worked in the 90s, so the band had to think of a new direction. SOTSOG wasn't the most ideal, but it was good start in where their sound should've went. Instead, HC is an embrace of early 2000s MOR alternative with useless attempts at anything interesting. This continued with DBTT, DOYS was finally when things got more interesting again, but too late as Noel and Liam's relationship had soured. Good point, I guess you could say the same for Noel playing it safe with traditional dad rock with the first two albums, and now he's trying something different again. I think it was something he needed to do. You can't keep producing the same sound and approach forever. |

I really enjoy this song, super catchy, great choice for lead single! But I'm in the boat of some here thinking that this isn't an indication of how the album as a whole will sound, similar to Heat of the Moment. This is a fun, safe, success-worthy song as lead single compared to something more experimental.
This is gonna be stuck in my head all week... can't wait for the album and the tour!!!

This song makes me want to burn my copies of HFB and Chasing Yesterday. If the rest of Who Built the Moon is this good, then I won't be needing those two ever again! Opinions are opinions, but it's like I'm listening to something different then what you guys are reacting to? This song does absolutely nothing for me. |

When Noel sings, 'Get out of the doldrums', all I hear is 'Out of the blue and into the black'
Hmmm...

I wouldn't say Chasing Yesterday is safe though, The Right Stuff and Ballad of the Mighty I were very new ideas for him, along with a solid production. I was just hoping Noel's 'out there' would be more like electronic-ambient which was hinted with While the Song Remains the Same (my favorite HFB song) and those Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve's Re-animations. It seems this album won't be that cohesive I believe - maybe a bunch of different ideas sandwiched together. |

And why the fuck was Marr used for what was really a simple and insipid part? |

It seems quite a low-quality rip. Not sure how I feel about it yet, seems very crowded with a dull melody. I'm still excited about the album but this just sounds like a 1960's kids commercial.

Your Marr comment is kinda ignorant though, his arpeggios are the highlight of the song. Mysterious and delicate, cleverly placed too. |

That's interesting. Based on someones comment earlier, I was thinking the exact opposite. I thought the majority of the fanbase recognize Bring The Light as being somewhat shit. Maybe a 4/10 around there? When that song came out it was an assumed 1/10. If you go back to those threads you can see the complete and utter overreaction from people calling it the worst song ever etc. I still think Bring the Light is terrible. If I never hear that song ever again, I'd be perfectly alright with that |

First listen, it sounds like a mix of a lot of things, trumpets, flutes, backing vocals, marching band and ricky martin  But it's catchy. |

On first listen I wouldn't say it's better than everything off the first two albums, but it's pretty catchy and wasn't what I was expecting. Probably going to be much better live.

Vocal mix is TERRIBLE, so muffled. I hate the 'She bangs, she bangs' comparison. And what the fuck is up with the Beach Boys 'wooo-oooo'.... NO.Fucking mess of a track.  Go away. |

This is gonna be a massive singalong when he does it live. Would be a perfect set closer. Isn't that what everyone wanted, anyway? A chorus that you can shout at the top of your lungs?

For those who don't like it fear not, if this album doesn't sell well or it's not positively received by the fans you can bet your bottom dollar that Noel will return to safe familiar territory for the next album. I like that he's gone in a different direction with this, it's going to be fascinating to see what he does with these songs live. I'm guessing they'll be played more conventionally so it'll be interesting to see if hearing them more stripped back will turn around some of those who aren't digging the very different style of production.
