I agree, this is an overall experience more than an individual song album. The collection of songs is not his strongest. I do like the direction though. Wish he took this direction when the songs were stronger.

I was thinking the same thing earlier, but couldn’t explain it...but you’ve hit the nail on the head. I like the instrumentals...not to think “I know, I’ll put them on...” but when they come on...they are oddly just what I need.

Spent a lot of time with this album over the past few days and made an observation that others most likely have as well. On a macro level, WBTM is a strong album because it works as one musical/cinematic piece. I am absolutely blown away by the production. However, on a micro level, I find it to be his weakest output ever. Eight actual songs and I despise three of them, am indifferent to one, think one is good, one is really good, and the other is among the greatest things he’s ever written. I said it in a different post, but I listen to SOTSOG more than any other Oasis-related album because it has a vibe/atmosphere as the overarching theme. WBTM does as well, and my feelings on it are positive. Just hope this feeling remains long-term. Great post! that's one of the issues im having.... I'm skipping songs whereas with as you were... I'm still enjoying every song.

I think I'm enjoying it on both the macro and micro level. Very rarely do you get an album with perfect songs from start to end.
