I'm not asking if you like the album - I'm asking if you like the direction that Noel went in with Who Built the Moon?
For example, you can dislike the songs but like the general idea. It's possible for both to co-exist.
For me, personally, I really like what Noel did here. I was very skeptical upon hearing his ideas prior to hearing any of the material. I was fearing a really out-there album, fearing a return to something like his AA project. I'm so glad he didn't go that far.
This is something different from Noel, but it really isn't that different. He's deviated from the Oasis formula - which he continued with both his prior solo albums of NGHFB and CY, and he's better for it.
It's sonically interesting. There's depth. It's well produced. It's layered. And it's rich.
Well chuffed. The Chief has delivered again.

It hasn’t turned my world upside down but yes I like the direction. Dead In The Water and the like, the kind Noel can churn out at will, I’ve heard enough of those. I hope he sticks with Holmes.

I don't care about the direction, to me the song quality isn't there...

Yes I want more of this going forward. He seems rejuvenated and it comes out in the music.

Yes. Very much so. But its also leaving me wanting more. Which is good, but can he deliver more? If he is staying on this course, then I want him to go further next album. More experimental and since he will now be more comfortable with the Holmes method, even better songs.
If #4 is is on par with WBTM or even slightly below, I'll be calling for dad rock on #5.

Not a doubt : it is a great direction. I believe it will stand the test of times.
And I as skeptical when he announced he was working with Holmes.

In any case, Noel never sticks to what he says about albums in the years prior. Death in Vegas The left overs of DBTT becoming the next album Kitchen sink for DOYS (before Sardy convinced him of the groove concept) Noel never sticks to what he originally states. |

Although I think it’s by far his worst collection of songs, I do love the production and the concept of an album having an overarching atmosphere. |

I like the direction in general and I appreciate that he wanted to do something different but the new album itself is simply dull.

I think it was half successful, I hope next time he takes more control rather than being a 50:50 partner with Holmes. There's a reason why he's one of our greatest ever songwriters and Holmes has only done a few decent bits and bobs. He should take his best demos from home as well as writing in the studio.

I'd like him to do a track or two with James Murphy. Dance if you wanna dance.

Love the direction, even if the song quality isn't quite on the level of Chasing Yesterday. Still think Noel could do similar things without restricting himself to songs written in the studio.
As far as moving on from the classic Oasis sound, I couldn't be happier. No signs of turning towards cheap pop sounds, still fresher and more modern than anything he did before.

I like this record although i gotta say i've not listened to it a lot. I'll go back to this one. The one thing i fuckin' love about David Holmes discography are the Ocean's soundtracks. Better than the movies. What I meant is I didn't think it could really work because Noel's songwriting didn't fit this sound. His previous songwriting. But the way they went was the way to go, although I didn't think Noel could pull it off. Songwriters are very secretive about the creation process, the set up is usually a bedroom with no one in the house. So having a producer looking over your shoulder... But Noel managed to adapt his songwriting to a more atmospheric, more chill out music. Well done. |

I like the direction but don't think the song quality stands up, perhaps the build in the studio approach wasn't the right one

Hell yes, he experimented but in a more organic way, you can feel the wheight of every instrument, this is why I liked it so much, this is what I was expecting, he didn't just went eletronica, going eletronica seems like a cliché these days by the way, eletronica sounds now became so inherent to a recording studios that when a band use this trick it's not extraordinary anymore.
