My wife’s reaction: It sounds like we’re back in a taxi in Egypt - fair point. Noel needs to get himself together - unfair point? Stumble you might fall - fair point. Never listen to your wife man. Next thing you know it will be Little Mix have melody! #kidding Oh, she’s no reference point of music for me. She hates Johnny Cash, The Charlatans & The National. |

I love it but one thing this song does bring to mind is Noel's comment in an interview about the aborted AA album: "I realised they weren't making an album for me, I was making an album for them." Yet I hear more David Holmes than Noel Gallagher on this track. Some people might not be so keen to buy a David Holmes album if they signed up for a Noel Gallagher one. As good as the track is musically it's not an ideal choice to encourage people outside of the hard core fan base to buy the album.

I think he meant approach wise. Like, the way Noel describes Holmes, it always sounds more like suggestions. When he described the AA sessions, they sounded more like orders. Also, I think Noel probably had more veto power with Holmes. Like if he wasn't comfortable with a take, I don't think Holmes forced it. Whereas with the AA, Noel described him doing 10 guitar takes and they'd always choose what he thought was the worst one. |

Maybe those studio speakers you mention every time a new track gets released were payment? |

Yeah makes sense, I'd imagine he simply got on better with Holmes as both a person and a colleague. Whether this is a combo that works commercially remains to be seen, but it's certainly going to be an interesting album. |

Did that man really write songs like the masterplan? Cos that’s garbage It's not supposed to be like "The Masterplan"... I know it’s not meant to be like the masterplan. My point is he has written great songs like the masterplan and Holy mountain is simply not very good. |

A solid 8 from me. Fucking brilliant show opener, for sure, but maybe missing the bite of Swamp Song or Fuckin' In The Bushes.
This will be either Noel's least commercially successful album, or the one that will earn him a whole new audience and sell massively. It's hard to tell which way it's gonna go. But I'm along for the ride.
All of a sudden I'm almost grateful Oasis are done. Two Gallagher albums in as many months. I'll have it.

I love the understated guitar that comes in at 20 seconds, sounds like a guitar.
Guys this is the same guy who made Rockin Chair!!
Can't believe Noel composed this. Incredible.

This song does not stop getting better. As arrogant as anything from the BHN era, and as euphoric as it is menacing. Fuck yeah!  |

This being played as the band walk on in live shows would definitely get the crowd up for it. That building tension in the song is perfect for that.

I feel like the song is missing something around the 45 second mark. Not sure what but sounds like another layer needed to be dropped there.

this tune is unreal when you're off ur bonce This. I'm stoned as shit right now and got some good quality Seinheisser headphones in and this shit is fucking quality man. The emotive screams and the pounding drums are just fucking fantastic. Is it Live Forever? No. But I already had Live Forever. This is fresh, deep, drum and bass heavy and just cool as fuck. I absolutely love it. |

A 6.5 would be most accurate, I found myself hesitating between 6 and 7. A nice, solid track. I like this sort of sound, you discover new things with each listen and it is very groovy. Don't hate me but I think having less of Noel's vocals works wonders in this track. One of the things that bothered me the most from Holy Mountain was his vocals. I think it works better this way or softer as in The Right Stuff (which I love).

I applaud Noel for trying something different but I am just not into it. |
