The song doesn’t go anywhere.
Somewhere around the spoken French part should be a lush guitar solo. This is the most incomplete NG song since AKA...WAL.
Normally songs grow on me, but this one is doing the opposite atm. Like what’s the point of even listening to it? It’s not bad, per se, and the verses are alright but it’s just....bland?
Holy Mountain is by far the best so far. Love that one. But Beautiful World is lacking, as Scissor Bird would put it, that je ne sais quoi.

This would elevate it for me. |

I disagree. It's a Beautiful World is all about the graceful restraint. Two words that I didn't think were in Noel's vocabulary until I heard this song. This is not a song meant to shoot into the stratosphere, it's meant to effortlessly glide on the subtle groove that slowly but surely propels the tune. A guitar solo would kill the mood entirely. Ever since BHN, Noel has been looking for ways to strip back and do something some simple with a less-is-more approach, and this is how you do it, not the anorgasmia rock of 00's drivel like Let There Be Love.

Um OK. Had to look that up. So "persistent inability to reach orgasm" Bummer, if a solo gets everyone off, I'm good with that. |

A French woman shouting a post apocalyptic warning while rhythmically snapping a scissors is far more in keeping with the Space Jazz aesthetic.

Out of the 4 tracks so far, FK and IABW are my least favourites.
The other 2 I do rate highly though.

Perfectly put. Except for the last bit about Let There Be Love, I disagree there. |

It's perfectly fine. I like the French bit better. I can't stop loving this tune. Sounds crisp and innovative on my headphones.

I do think it's lacking 'something' in the back half to really propel it.
Whether that's a solo , I'm not sure, but definitely 'something'.
The first half, right up until the end of the spoken word, is brilliant.

I don't think it needs a solo. I think that would be lazy arranging, mostly because i hate guitar solo's unless they're really fitting for the song, not just put in for the sake of it.
It needs something to lift the last 3rd of the song though to really drive it along, something like more harmony vocal, or some sort of percussion or keys to pick it up. I do like to hear restraint in music when it works but i think it gets to a point where the song is starting to plod along here.
I think a song should be a journey but this song seems to show everything it has in the first few minutes and gets stale from then on.

something needs to distract from that prodigy-esque bass riff.
stick CY back on, that has plenty of solos;)

It totally needs a drum solo.
