Good or bad, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Therefore nobody is right, nor wrong.

It seems that the population of parka monkeys is growing out of control, lately.

Some reviewers did the same with Liam's album. Basically, some writers (the bad ones, mainly) are unable to review anything the Gallaghers put out without bringing their own personal bias into it. Music journos who hated their antics during the Oasis era are bound to trash whatever they put out, no matter how good the product may be. Liam will always be the drunken lout to them, and Noel will always be the arrogant bully that told Damon to get AIDS and die. The serious reviewers are raving about it, so that's what matters.

Yeah, the Irish Times is pretty bad. They slobbered all over Swift's new album when most critics thought it was underwhelming. Their music review guys seem tone deaf.

Only 1 opinion matters. Your own. Fuck the rest.

www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-built-moon-review/It is an odd time to be an Oasis fan. The estranged Gallagher brothers, the central force of the most popular British rock band of our times, are both touting solo albums that emphasise very different aspects of their former union. It’s like the battle of Britpop all over again, only this time, instead of Oasis v Blur, it is Oasis v Oasis. Last month, Liam’s solo debut, As You Were, went straight to number one. Created with a team of pop writers, it shamelessly mimicked both big brother Noel’s lusty, Beatles-influenced songwriting and Oasis’s beefy rock swagger. Buoyed aloft on Liam’s sheer vocal charisma, the album evoked Oasis's Nineties glory days – but left the listener with the niggling impression that it was all perhaps a little too backwards looking. Now, here comes Noel with the most adventurous, free-flowing and forward facing album of his career.When I first heard the lead single Holy Mountain, I didn’t even realise it was by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – but I knew that I loved it. A distorted glam rock stomp, it absolutely barrels along, packed with horns and topped off with a cheery tin whistle. “Get out of the doldrums, baby!” yells Noel on what could be a one-line manifesto for an album that sounds like a concerted effort to arrest creative decline. His vocals fight for space in dense arrangements glittering with unexpected elements: shimmering synths; phased guitars. Experimental producer David Holmes has facilitated a new spirit of openness in Noel, whose previous two solo albums suggested he was set on a predictable trajectory towards sturdy, worthy, retro rock. Not that Who Built the Moon? could really be described as experimental. Noel’s songwriting remains indebted to the Beatles and the blues. His lyrics are still cheerfully vague, favouring rhymes over logic, his mix of major and minor chords giving melodies a strange tension, forever balanced between melancholy and optimism. Filled out with atmospheric instrumentals, it is an album of feisty vignettes rather than anthems destined to be bellowed in stadiums. Somewhere between this and Liam’s more straightforward record, you could locate an Oasis album that might have matched their very best. But since the two brothers seem irreconcilable, fans might as well enjoy their sibling rivalry. Right now, Liam seems to be in the commercial ascent. But Noel sounds as though he’s having more fun.

The reviewer in question is always retweeting michaelterren.bandcamp.com. I must say that when you first listen to this its extremely challenging but eventually you'll for certain conclude that its a kind of "speculation on the interior lives of rocks and mountains." Don't judge him until you listen to this

www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/music/albums-of-the-week-bjork-noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-and-the-staves-a3701396.htmlFor all its commercial success Noel Gallagher’s post-Oasis output has hardly been a study in boundary-pushing experimentation. Finally, thrillingly, Who Built the Moon? sees him venture outside his four-chord comfort zone. On opener Fort Knox, the poet who brought us such couplets as “I know a girl called Elsa, she’s into Alka-Seltzer”, abandons lyrics entirely. Keep On Reaching, meanwhile, is a funk-soul number with a refrain (“keep on reaching up for that higher ground”) that nods to Stevie Wonder. Be Careful What You Wish For continues the long-held Gallagher tradition of ripping off John Lennon — it’s essentially Come Together with an acoustic guitar. However, that’s forgivable within the context of an album that sees Gallagher take more risks over the course of its 11 tracks than he has over the previous 11 years. (Sour Mash) by Rick Pearson 4/5

Pitchfork review isn't in yet however on their page it's got 5 albums you should listen to today and one of them is Who built the moon. I'm going for a shock 7.5 from Pitchfork.

My dad told me it's getting good reviews here in Italy too I've only seen one Dutch review and it was...confusing. I think some reviewers are really looking for excuses to hate it though. I don't mean that in an "Only parka monkeys and idiots don't like it kind of way", but you can tell from some of their writing styles that they're really struggling.
