Yes, in a conceptual way, he did.

Its a cop out for me to say he is just choosing not to write another classic oasis type song.

If he still had the ability to, he would.

It isnt even that different an approach to songwriting. If anything its just even more blatent stealing than in Oasis. Openly sat there listening to tracks just to rip off their bass lines or hooks.

This.

I can't stand Who Built The Moon.

I loved the 3 new songs on the first EP.

Felt like THIS is what WBTM should've been.

After the horrible reception of the EP... Noel still doesn’t give a shit. He’s gone soft. The lifestyle he is living now has castrated his creativity. We’ll be getting middle of the road, chorus-less lullaby’s with a drum machine (or someone who sounds like one) until the end of his days.

Accept it.
I have.

And I'm the exact opposite. I loved WBTM, but can't stand any of the songs on the new EP.

Pfffttt She Taught Me How To Fly is one of the best on that record.

Weaker tracks ? In the heat of the moment is a tune and she taught me how to fly is possibly best track on that album , it’s all opinions but who built the moon was a strange record , it just lacked something and almost felt like Noel talked the critics and public into thinking it was way out there and to me it’s an average record with some good production, keep on reaching if sounded like the remix for instance would’ve been brilliant but the album version is boring .Some of the lyrics are poor aswell ...I think the new ep is brilliant , play BSD loud in a bar it sounds great and the other 2 tracks are classic noel

Agree largely with this.

I don't think WBTM is average but I do think Noel built it up (I think on purpose to kind of test the fanbase in a way - to differing results) as something it wasn't in terms of the finished product. It wasn't that different or out there, but the approach was (for Noel). It definitely did lack 'something' (personally I think that is another song), but atm as an album it still works really well and Holy Mountain, STMHTF, TMWBTM and Keep On Reaching are all songs I love. IABW loses some momentum towards the end but the first half is great. 

BSD is just funky as hell. I went off it but since hearing the live version it's really grown on me again. 

I don't think it's among his best ever output but I'd certainly put it up in the second tier of his solo stuff. Like you say, it's one of those songs that fits certain situations really well and I've heard it twice in places I wouldn't expect and it still worked.

The only 'horrid' reaction to the EP has been from a few people on Twitter and if any artist (Noel, Liam or whoever) starts taking directions from Twitter then they might as well pack it in. Hate this thing of fans' having such self-entitlement (in music, sport (football especially), pretty much anything tbh). It's probably nothing new, but there's now simply loads of places for their opinions to be heard. It's great that everyone can put their opinions out there, and on a forum we can speak about them and usually have decent discussion. But at the same time, an artist can only try and please themselves. 

FWIW, I believe Noel has always only ever done what he pleased. I'm not saying he was shackled by Oasis or whatever. 

Hes said that he isnt writing songs like that anymore.

The stuff about falling from the sky makes me cringe.

Hes openly admitted hes sat there trying to rip songs off from CDs. Yeah really gonna just drop out the sky aint it. Its fucking dropped out of an mp3 rip.

Ive always actually been of the opinion that it was incredibly difficult for Noel in Oasis because he was having to write anthems and he usually come up with the goods. It was laid bare, the melody had to be there and no gimmicks. Other artists get away with shit he couldn't by adding the sort of gimmicks he adds now. For instance take away the "new" sounds from Careful What You Wish For and you have a lame come together rip off with no chorus.

Nothing new about how he writes now. Hes just added a few different sounds to cover up how bad the songs are.

Holy christ do I literally have to start putting "THIS POST MAY CONTAIN IRONY" after these posts. Come on guys, meet me halfway here.

you're such a delight.

Also, Come Together borrows from You Can't Catch Me by Chuck Berry, so your argument is kinda shit.
