I like the vibe he’s going for, and this is coming from a huge fan of Who Built The Moon, but I just think it’s a bit bland and not far reaching enough. It doesn’t sound particularly exceptional amongst loads of things out there. That’s why I compare it to Kasabian because they are an unbelievably bland band on a similar level to this tune and it just seems a bit safe to me. If he is using Kasabian as an influence, then fuck me, he’s reached a low point. It’s 6/10, nice background music but I really need something aggressive and punchy from Noel.
Someone mentioned it sounds similar to Franz Ferdinand’s latest album - incidentally, an album I really enjoyed last year. They seemed to hit the nail on the head with that retro disco influence with this tune that reminds me somewhat of Black Star Dancing. Something like this from Noel is perhaps what he should have been aspiring to achieve.

3 EPs is the smartest thing he can do at this point. It allows him to chance down any style he wants to mess with, put out it out, and if you don't dig it, something new will come out shortly and maybe you'll dig that. It's better than waiting 2-3 years for the next album cycle only to have people hate whatever style he wants to work with for that record. Now if we can do something about the cost of these EPs, we'll be good to go. They’re £2 more expensive than his singles, some of which contained literally no previously unreleased material at all.

Have you ever been to the Morrissey forum? Holy shit, it’s crazy over there 😂 makes this place seem incredibly mellow I can't imagine a music fan forum being goofier than this place.... Thanks. |

You would have thought that, in an age of short attention spans, that the EP would have become the dominant release format of the 21st century. However, EPs are gaining ground in mainstream music. Lots of artists (ex: Kanye, Earl Sweatshirt, Tierra Whack) put out major EPs last year, only they called them albums.  |

It was pretty decent. Now all Noel needs to do is make something as good as Kids See Ghosts three times in one year and I'll just about be happy  |

So 3 EPs are coming out this year. First on June 14th,second is unknown and the last one will be out December 25th. I don't really see the point on putting out 3 EPs instead of an album. But well,if all of them are more than 10 songs I'm fine with it.

I always find the reaction to Noel and Liam releases very interesting to watch.
Personally speaking as someone who was a fan of Beady Eye and what Noel is doing now, I can't help but feel that "hate" from the fanbase has well and truly shifted over to Noel now. Similarly to Beady Eye, I dont think anything he is currently releasing stands any of a chance because of their misconceptions that hes way too up his own arse now/He's doing something very different.
Funilly enough I think Liam has played a big part in that propaganda via interviews and twitter, in the same way I think Noel did for Beady Eye with the infamous press conference.
In conclusion, the fanbase continues to be divided and I seem to find myself going against the norm with both.
I think this is a great solid track by Noel. 7.5/10

The more i listen to the song, the less different it sounds compared to his solo discography, it's like Heat of the Moment mixed with What a Life. It's not bad great, but not bad either. It's soft 80s disco, something you casually listen to.
As for the EP strategy, good on Noel for trying something new, especially if it's not that strong. it's probably because the songs dont fit with each other too and he wanted to get rid of them.
But in the long run, EP wont be good for him. He's got a fanbase strong enough to release albums. Plus, albums tend to stay in history more than EPs, which are quickly forgotten. In the end, for an artist like NG, LPs still counts if he doesn't want to become a disposable artist. And i hope we get to hear one soon.

I wonder if the reason for the3 EP releases is because the sound of the songs is so different they don’t sit as a collective on an album together. He already said yesterday that the next one is more for the ‘people in anoraks’ so I take that to mean a more traditional NG song and sound which wouldn’t sit well with the black star dancing tripe

People have asked for years for Noel to 'catch' up and that's just what he's doing. Like you say, it also allows Noel to fiddle about with different sounds that wouldn't click together in one album. It means at least 9 (maybe 10-11) songs from him this year, and at least three different vibes through that bunch of songs, and if we're lucky, Liam's album too. |

I mean you could have broken up MOON into 3 EPs when you think about it.
Fort Knox
Holy Mountain
Keep On Reaching
It’s A Beautiful World
She Taught Me How To Fly
Be Careful What You Wish For
Black & White Sunshine
If Love Was The Law
The Man Who Built The Moon
If Noel did this in 2017 how many people are pissed? Ultimately it doesn’t matter.

Watch out, that guy (aka bastardnumber1) literally revolves his whole life around Liam, his whole life, Noel’s career, his sexual fantasies... He’s not even a kid, he’s a fully grown adult. Says it all about the Oasis fan base giving their attention to some virgin who most likely lives in his mother’s basement. |

I mean you could have broken up MOON into 3 EPs when you think about it. Instead, he decided to pull off one album AND 6 "EP's". God only knows how much money I spent on vinyl, shipping and lossless downloads. And I didn't even bother to buy the black/coloured versions, just the picture discs... |

I am fully aware of all of this, and I am also sure that none of that has anything to do with the nature of this video/post. There was no reason to bring any of that into this thread. Dropping an "F U" to Lomax every time he posts something is one thing, but dragging someone thru the mud for a completely valid tweet/video/comment is kind of classless. I don't see how any of your posted info is remotely necessary at this time. ----- If this post derails the thread too much, then please remove it mods. mimmihopps carlober I'm not trying to start a mess or anything. |

Lomax was the author of his own fate. From potential hero to proper villain. It’s funny what a man will do to have “power” over others. I was so glad that someone leaked the DBTT sessions containing STC and RM. It made all his antics and hostage tactics with the Zanibar bootleg look silly and pathetic. joakim is a forum white knight. Lomax is just a piece of shit. |

Plus, albums tend to stay in history more than EPs, which are quickly forgotten. Nine Inch Nails recently did a similar run of three EPs over a year. By the time the third one came it, it was classified as an album rather than an EP. The reasoning Trent Reznor gave for this is that streaming services bury EPs (which get put in the same category as singles). The algorithms don’t surface them to casual fans and they’re harder for people to find. X |
