Ha. It's growing on me. Well I feel like a total knob. Although I fucking hate when songs fade out, it's proper beige.Liam's Come Back To Me does the fucking same and it's irritating as fuck. Surely it won't be like that on the album? |

Of all the lukewarm responses on here, it's yours I identify most with. We'd been hearing about how radical and experimental Who Built the Moon will be, and then we get this? Now that's a disappointment! Just like you, I really hope we get something in the vein of Teotihuacan or something off Slowdive's latest. Personally, I'd be fine with an album full of Holy Mountains, but I completely understand why you'd feel shortchanged.  But the people complaining about it being "too Ricky Martin", I really don't get it.... Noel needs to write a song like 'Butterfly'...all the saxophones he would like, mixed with frightening ambient synths and distorted guitars with a chilling vocal - capturing a dystopian Western post-apocyalptic world like Verve did. Now I really want to see people's reactions to that! Let's hope for next album!  |

On Twitter there are an unusually high amount of posts in Spanish talking about this song. The Ricky Martin fan base perhaps? Link? I just typed in Noel Gallagher in the search box and Latest then all the Spanish posts came up talking about the song. Only words I could make out were Ricky and Martin, in that order |

this is the biggest pile of CRAP i've ever heard. Honestly it's worse than generic pop music i hear on the radio. It's just fucking empty crap. Noel is totally finished. He's lost the plot totally. All you fanboys can defend him all you want but there's too much good music in the world for me to defend this nonsense. i've been into Oasis since 94 and have seen them dozens of times over the years. I can't get behind this at all. Am so thankful we have an amazing Liam album to listen to because i need to erase this infection from my ears. Umm...ok? It sounds better than Beady Eye at least. Well it is better than Second Bite of the Apple. I'll give you that one. |

I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. no if facking doesn't. Even Beady Eye dropping their guitars off the truck by accident would sound more artful and interesting than this pile of mediocre, lazy, drivel. This is just a nonsense, superficial, empty tune played by someone washed up. Beady Eye had 2 great albums....arguably more interesting than the 2 Noel albums but that could be debated. This single though.......even the worst Beady Eye outtake would sound like a fucking classic next to this. I am cringing at the thought of "Holy Mountain" even......have listened 3 times to see if i'm missing something but every time it sounds even worse than i imagined. Are you sure you're not listening to Bring the Light? |

Obviously I don't understand at all how some Oasis fans think. Holy Mountain should've been one of the safest bets for universal acclaim for a lead single imaginable, and yet people think that it sounds too much like She Bangs.

Are you sure you're not listening to Bring the Light? To be fair the only thing that Holy Mountain lacks that made BTL well, that kind of song was the baby come ons ad nusseum and the lenght. Holy mountain has lenght issues for me. Nothing much happens after you listen the first verse and chorus(until the middle 8 that's it). Comparable? Yeah... No, but HM is Miles better than BTL. |

Is not that bad lads. First listen was meh. But 5th time is alright. I got the feeling that I will end loving it. Grower one.
Anyway,the fuck is wrong with Noel and butterflies? Be my butterfly again? Havent read the lyrics yet but the bits I understood got me scratching my head. And I don't if its the quality of the song that I got,but also the sneak peeks of the trailer sounded a bit weird to me. Like bad quality.
Last lead we got from him was ITHOTM and I still dont like that tune,but Chasing Yesterday is alright to me. So I still got hope. This one sounds like a tune fron the last Dan Auerbach solo record called 'Shine On Me'. Poppy and catchy but so fucking cliché. But nooot as bad as some people are shouting here. Calm down lads,we still got 9 or 10 more songs to come. At least five of them will be alright

What a piece of shit. The first, second, third, and ten hundred time I've listened to it. Incredible.

What's even more ridiculous is that some are saying that it's worse than the Top 40 shit you hear on the radio. Listen to We Are Young one more time and tell me if you still honestly believe that.

I think a song like If I Had a Gun is something more under that category for safest bet. Safe and Oasis-like. |

Don’t like the song for the first few listens. I’m all for new sounds and experimenting and I’m still excited about the album so I hope this is just an outlier.
It’s annoying for me, a mess, overproduced to sound loud and noisy just for the sake of it. Noel’s voice sounds forced and drowned, not digging that either. Beyond the gimmicky production to make it sound “weird” or “experimental” I feel there’s not much of a song there.

Literally my only issue with this is the audio quality seems shite. Vocals are muffled and where are the dynamics?

Just listened to it, and man… I love it when Noel branches out of his comfort zone and tries to do something different. The production is nuts, and the song is upbeat and catchy—I'm sure it's going to be massive at upcoming gigs.
This has me pumped for the rest of the album.

First listen, I don't like it now. But I think I should listen few more time. It just reminds me Mucky finger and Do the damage.

I almost never post but here's my opinion of what we've got so far.
First of all Noel shocked me twice in an album cycle and the first single isn't even properly released. For me personally that's more then I could have hoped for. Also to some that were saying that he's trying too much to be a pop star with this song just point me to a single thing in the charts that's even remotely similar to this.
The song is an upbeat throwback to 60's pop and I like it, and I love the fact that it's so different then the three promo tracks. Which indicates to me that we are gong to get a varied album which is good indeed. The chorus melody is very catchy and so are the horns and fun bass.
And also this is definitely going to be very polarizing but honestly I couldn't give a toss for the people that listen to one genre of music and then complain when something is out of their comfort zone. That's like trying to make a stubborn kid try new food, a lost cause.

Usually I don't hate or dislike songs, but this is a total disaster. I love Do the Damage, Mucky Fingers is ok, but this one is neither a new sound nor out of his comfort sound. It's a horribly produced plodding song and I don't get the catchyness or sing-a-long references some are hearing here. I have to admit the annoying flute is stuck in my head..
Seriously confused what this record is going to be as I loved what I heard in 2 of 3 previews (and the Beautiful World preview grew on me), but Holy Mountain as a single choice is totally nuts. Ridiculous song. For me it doesn't also have to do with being out of the comfort zone..I love the Amorphous Adrogynous remixes, I love UNKLE stuff and also listen to Kanye West, so I'm all up for Noel doing something different, but this is not different. As many mentioned on here already it sounds like one of the 2010 demos.
One thought: Could the lack of proper promotion also mean that Noel is actually not supportive anymore of this record?
See it coming already he will bash it in a few years...

Someone better tell Pitchfork that Noel's fans don't like Holy Mountain and then watch them label it "best new music".  |

I'd rather have Beautiful World than this, this is not bad but certainly not the best from him. It's fun I like the "She fell" part, but as it keeps repeating itself I got a bit annoyed towards the end.  |

In all seriousness, it's been very interesting seeing the polarizing reaction play out. Now I know how people must've reacted to Kid A and Yeezus upon release.

This has been the most excited Noel has been about an album in ages. |
