7 tracks is still a lot, maybe you'll find something that'll surprise you

That's why I said this:

I have no particular desire for Noel to re-create the "Classic Oasis-y" sound, but I will note that if he were to do so, it would have to be inspired by things like this:



And not things like this:

It’s alright, just listened to it once before coffee.

Thanks.

Indeed. Stuff like "Carry Us All"

Would sit brilliantly on NGHFB

I'd still say that a track like "She Taught Me How to Fly" is closer to the classic-Oasis melodic sense of joy and passion than any of these mid-2000's style ballads that Noel's been serving up recently. 

I'm just not a fan of the fact that every time one of the brothers releases a bland ballad, it gets called "Oasis-y". It implies that the lasting cultural memory of Oasis is one of Stop Crying Your Heart Out / Little by Little / etc. Sad verse, big vowel chorus, etc. I get it, to an extent, those songs exist, so does DLBIA and all that, but...No! I'm not having it! This is Oasis-y! 



(And no, I do not want Noel to recreate this. But if he wanted to do Classic Oasis or give me "the feeling that made me fall in love with Oasis in the first place", or any of the stuff that gets said about tracks like this and Once, it would be need inspiration from things like Supersonic or Some Might Say, not anything that leads to Easy Now type stuff.)

I really like it. Light years better than Pretty Boy. Noel is back on track

I would like that Noel has producer who pushes him like Holmes did, but now in different direction.

Not to say to him to stop writing his typical songs but to say that something is not good enough and that he should try harder to write better song or to just forget about that song and write the new one.

I was thinking about what Escapist said but it is not at all about sound, guitars or anything, it is all about inspiration.

I will mention again Flying On The Ground again, I feel that he was inspired while writing that, the same way he was in the 90s and wasn't in the 2000s.

Actually there is no much different between Fade Away and Sunday Morning Call, yes they recorded songs differently and Fade Away has Liam on vocals, but if we talk only about melody, Fade Away is just better song, song written when songwriter was inspired.




I think that everyone who plays a bit of guitar and is songwriter knows very well and can feel that moment. There are moments when you say to yourself - that bustard, I could never write something that good, but there are also moments when you know that even you can write something like that. Or at least come close. But when we are talking about best Noel's songs, 99% of us don't even come close.

When it comes to song like Easy Now, it is all about does it have that magic moment of inspiration that only Noel can bring to us. I don't hear it. And without it, there is no great production, other creative ideas or anything and songs becomes meaningless completely.

And no, it is not bad, but...

Heard the track once and had enough. Kind of boring, more of a filling track than a first single.

Wow, massive step back from Who Built The Moon.

A ball achingly dull tune. Awfully plodding and mid tempo.

I prefered Pretty Boy by a mile but I think Easy Now could be a grower. It's definitely not a classic but I'll to hear it live, might give a deserved extra punch.

Really curious to hear the whole album, it's seems to be going in a more slow and acoustic approach.

I quite like it, particularly its build up, although I prefer "Pretty Boy" as a whole. Given that both songs are going to be on this new album, I'm looking forward to hearing it come June.
