I bet the next Noel single will sound liek Livin' La Vida Loca. Why? Oh, wait... I get it because you think Holy Mountain sounds like She Bangs. That's really, really clever the way you stuck to Ricky Martin. Classic. |

Everyone's talking about this being the worst thing Noel's ever wrote and I'm just over here dancing... Not everyone does. |

You think this is better than Supersonic? That's just bonkers isn't it? Columbia and Bring It On Down as well? I guess it takes all sorts. On the topic of Supersonic vs. Holy Mountain. It sounds crazy. Supersonic is an iconic song, it is influential, and it is one of the songs that epitomizes Oasis glory years. So I would never say Holy Mountain is better than Supersonic. However, strangely I never really loved Supersonic. I like it but I love most of the other songs on the album. I personally like Holy Mountain more now than I ever liked Supersonic. I like Holy Mountain better but I wouldn't claim it is a better song because Supersonic reached so many people. Is that fair? Does it make sense? |

Could you imagine this place if Noel actually released music that was different than his usual output? This is still in his neighborhood folks. We haven't gotten hit with anything extreme yet. This might actually be the calm before the storm.

Yeah what Lennon said. People are losing their shit with this song. All the Ricky Martin comparisons and basically insinuating Noels sold his soul is ridiculous. I read some say it's the worst song ever, period. Seriously it's just a bit different in the end it has all the elements of a Noel song.
If he really experiments I'm worried some people on here are going to go burn their record collections and try and lynch Noel. Theyll be ripping the seats out od the arenas, as if were some kind of Stravinsky premier.
It would seem that people just want Noel to sit on a stool and play his Gibson acoustic. Every great musician has experimented and tried new shit. Can't think of anyone who constantly did the same shit and yet is considered a genius songwriter...
However many days on and countless listens, still very much enjoying it. As someone said earlier, with all the shit getting thrown at it, I had to step back and consider if I actually liked the song or liked cause it was Noel. Like the song. It's fun, catchy and a tiny bit different from what Noel has done before.

This forum wasn't ready for the AA sessions. This isn’t about the style at all. I listen to a lot of bands that sound like this....I just really hate the melody on this. I say hate, because it actually makes me cringe. Loved the little clips he released so I’m just hoping holy mountain is just the one song I skip every time to get to the good songs. |

I like Holy Mountain better but I wouldn't claim it is a better song because Supersonic reached so many people. Is that fair? Does it make sense? There is a music snobbery around DM and its songs. Because it is rated so highly by critics, fans and Noel alike, people are too scared to admit if they are not fond of any tracks on it - God knows why! Everything is down to personal taste. I appreciate Supersonic for its place in history, its moment in time. It launched Oasis. But that is as far as my appreciation for that tracks goes, the same way I appreciate Love Me Do by The Beatles for launching their career, but I wouldn't say I love that song either. Supersonic is too slow for me, as is most of the tracks on DM. For all the hype around DM being a party album, many of the tracks are actually quite slow, mid-tempo and plodding. Its the lyrics that push the rock and party element, but the music isn't that poppy or upbeat. Its more slow and menacing. WTS brought with it the more poppy, upbeat, faster songs in the Oasis era, and this would reach a climax with BHN - my favourite album because of it. Oasis Mk2 and Noel's solo career turned its back on these faster, poppy songs, and its only with the release of Holy Mountain are we back in 1997 territory again. Hence why I prefer Holy Mountain to Supersonic. |

Supersonic is close to the perfect song and everyone who dissents should be guillotined.
In all seriousness, I do think DM is defied beyond reason, and that Morning Glory is a clearly superior album.

I think a lot of people were hyped up about this finally being Noel's experimental post-Be Here Now return to form, and therefore expected a big statement with the lead single - a continuation of the "How'd you like me now?" coolness of the trailer. The fact that we've got a typically catchy and short lead single a la Heat of the Moment seems to be throwing people for a loop.
Personally, I think that as a fun and earmorm-based single, Holy Mountain more than does it's job, and I've no doubt there will be more "epic" songs on the album to come.
Good times ahead, people.

I'm all for people saying they prefer Holy Mountain, I just can't get my head around it being called a better song. I'm also a bit tired at people saying that if they don't like HM, then they aren't ready for an experimental record, when I really am looking forward to the album, just think this is a really bad attempt for a first single. |

Everything is down to personal taste. A better song is something you prefer over another song, regardless of its cult status, history, folklore or its critical acclaim. I get far more enjoyment listening to BHN than DM, so for me it is a better record. I have got more enjoyment listening to HM than I ever did Supersonic, so for me personally it is a better song. I know that goes against the Holy Grail to a few on here, but I couldn't give a flying fuck. |

It is not a total disaster imo and I am hoping it fits well within the context of the album, the way I see it is the trailer for the album sounded exactly like I hoped it would. Do we need more Oasis style music from Noel? We can always go back can't we, is it not nice to have an optional different LP to listen to? If its pants as some of you fear after HM then skip it and go back or listen to LG or similar OR wait for Noel's next effort. |

Seen a few reviews and it’s overwhelmingly positive for the song. Even critics who don’t like Noel are loving it.

Listening to this a lot on headphones and enjoying it more than when I heard it the radio, though same could be said for a lot of music.
