I really don't get why people think Holy Mountain is a radical departure for Noel. Just like As You Were, it's the same style that he's been writing in for the last 20+ years. Except better. True, it's a mix of a lot of different Noel songs done over a sample or two. I really don't think it's better than, well, much of his back catalogue at all. I can see why the positivity is infectious and takes people back to BHN days but I honestly don't see the actual song being even the league of the b-sides from that era. Just a 6/10 or so for me. |

On a different note, the question of the week at my local library is "what is your favorite song of the 90's?" Can anyone guess what I wrote down?  |

Honestly pains me to say that I'm not really feeling this track.. from the album trailer I was expecting a whole album of AKA.. What A Life!/The Right Stuff  Really hoping that I enjoy the next single, because right now I'm a bit worried about the album. But then again, In The Heat Of The Moment sounded nothing like the rest of Chasing Yesterday! That being said, I'm still gonna put Holy Mountain on repeat.. hopefully until I like it |

I don’t think it’s extreme at all. I honestly expected more of a departure in sound. The trailer clips seemed to explore more sonic territory. We shall see how it all plays out. Exciting times for sure. |

Am I the only one hearing "and she SMILE like 1969"? No, I've heard that since listen one. Mixed with Jet Boy Jet Girl as also covered by The Damned  |

Still not sure what to think of this. Yeah same. But hopefully it'll grow on me, and to be honest, I already like it more than earlier. Someone compared this to Stone Roses AFO and new Kasabian and I can't help but think that if Kasabian, for example, released something like this it'd have much worse reviews here. |

There is something that I really like about it, but also something I really don't. I never was a person who wanted Noel to do something 'different'. I'm not going to his show in Amsterdam, last time I was so bored halfway the gig that I almost wanted to leave. The amount of annoying drunk people there didn't help too. |

The All For One comparisons are unbelievably offensive. I've had polar opposite reactions to both songs. And no way would Kasabian release this; Tom Meighan's slurping lumbering vocals would suck the fun out of it anyway. First of all, there's melody and catchiness there - it's evidently Noel, the king of melody. Kasabian couldn't write a decent melody even if it smacked them right between the eyes. Noel is a greater talent than The Stone Roses (who live a career off one overrated album) and Kasabian combined. There's no comparison. |

I agree, it's not 'experimental' - it's actually just a great tune with more going on in it than traditionally is the case. And that is the thing that is shocking me most - I thought Noel had to go experimental to do something great and fresh for a good number of years. Yet he throws this one out, it's a fairly conventionally structured tune, yet it's great and fresh. Shocked I tell ya! |

Fucking hate the amounts of people who say Stone Roses were better than Oasis. This idea that Oasis just took over what they were going to achieve is laughable after one listen of Second Coming. |

Another Mancunian band's name would have been more apt the time All For One came out - 'The Charlatans'. That proved once and for all that Second Coming wasn't merely a 'misstep' but a complete exposure of a lack of natural talent. Don't get me wrong, The Stone Roses is a very good album, but with three duff tracks and a self-indulgent freak out on supposedly the 'greatest finale to an album ever', well that fails the 'great' album status it is usually given. |

Didn't like the song quite much. I reckon it's good, different by Noel standards but I don't know, something just didn't click with me. Do The Damage has the same kind of vibe and is a much better tune, to me.
But I'm still really confident about the album. Was just listening to that preview on YouTube for the 100th time and those songs blow me away. Which ones are those, anyway? Fort Know, It's a Beautiful World and She Taught Me How To Fly?

I love Holy Mountain, cannot wait for the album. Think it's going to be mind blowing AND great, the lethal combination I've been waiting for that I know Noel has been capable of for years. He's made some good music since leaving Oasis but nothing that has been mind blowing or a radical departure from what came before.
But let's be frank, this IS experimental. Of course, it still sounds like a Noel Gallagher song because the melody of a song is the most distinct aspect of a song, it IS the song. And HM is a recognisable Noel melody. But the instrumentation, the tempo, the feel, the overall sound is like NOTHING he's ever released - including his collaborations throughout his career. So technically for Noel, it is experimental. And it's fucking great.
The idea of hearing Fort Knox in its entirety is bringing tiny amounts of come to the tip of my penis.

Noel is a greater talent than The Stone Roses (who live a career off one overrated album) and Kasabian combined. There's no comparison. When I listen to this song I don't like the first verse at all. It's just Noel shouting lyrics with very little melody. But then the chorus hits and I suddenly feel liking this song a lot. When it's time for the 2nd verse I don't really even mind it anymore because the chorus brought that "good feeling". So yeah, I still have really mixed feeling with the song. The first 30 seconds of the song is awful IMO but then something happens and I like it again. I say this again, this song reminds me a lot of The Vaccines. I actually like the band but the way Noel delivers his vocals lacks something The Vaccines have. |
