It'll be Noel's crew on the production deck. The Stacey brothers, etc. It would be amazing to see David Holmes produce the eighth album... (Imagine the backlash...) And that would be a failure of a decision. I know Liam's albums are not perfect but things like Wall of Glass or Everything's Electric hit harder than any sound Noel has produced on his guitar based rockier solo moments. It's just a dull lifeless sludge of a sound. I also don't want to sound like a A&R man, but it would be good for them to capitalise on this hype by really grabbing the audiences attention with a visceral sound that makes you sit up and stands out on the radio (just like they did with Owen Morris and Definitely Maybe) rather than handing production duties for this now massive thing to a bunch of dithering 50-something year olds in Noel's camp who are out of touch with what excites listeners. |

Id rather have Brendan O'Brien instead of Rubin. Or have Rubin as a excecutive producer and Brendan handling the faders.

Obviously Better Days is an LG song… but I’ve said it before that if you told me Better Days was written by Noel for the first single of a comeback 8th album, I would easily believe you. There’s something really Oasis about it. Even the video has an Oasis aesthetic. Something like this would go down mega. Raise Your Hands, Easy Now and Come On Outside would also be really strong contenders. Seriously, just imagine if Noel had saved this up for the reunion comeback single and got Liam to sing it... |

If his work with Pearl Jam on the last albums is an indicator, I think he would be more on the whimpy side if things. Likes to add a little too much of a pop sprinkle in compositions and meddle with songwriting. Danger Mouse would be cool. James Ford could work too, I guess.

I'm talking realistically about selection of producers, not what I ideally want. In which case, I've always said Rick Rubin, who as an aside was close to producing an Oasis album once. In a fantasy world, they go wacky with Brian Eno or something like that which would be fun, but in a realistic world, it's Rubin all day long. Although Danger Mouse has just come to mind. He suits any genre, and he did produce the best heavy sounding Black Keys records. Given Noel recently worked with them, it's not beyond possibility. I don’t want Eno. He’s like 77 years old. We need fresher blood. Someone good at the desk. He doesn’t really touch the controls for decades. Rubin is another guy who is more of an ideas man in the studio. You still need other people to take you to the finish line at the desk. |

With all the hype and hullabaloo I’d forgotten there’d be a MG reissue 🙃 Dunno what they’re doing to put on it mind. Step Out sung by Liam is the only thing we really know exists. Well Bonehead’s Bank Holiday outtake with drink Bonehead. Earls Court and/or Maine Road in full would be ok for me. But it’s not like Definitely Maybe where a bunch of demos and outtakes exist. Who knows what is truly out there. What about Noel recording Wonderwall on the actual wall outside the studio? You telling me no demos of Supernova exist? Like not even Noel acoustic? That’s gotta be in the vaults. Red White and Blue? Maybe that’s more Be Here Now era. Either way a reissue will be coming for their biggest selling and most famous album. Book it. |

I still think Dave Sitek did a fantastic job with BE, with the mostly average to below average material he had to work with. |

And don't forget Kurstin produced Squire and Gallagher. It sounds like shit (blame it on the mastering), but it sounds like good mega shit. Haha |

James Ford. Have the Arctics ever had a bad sounding record? The second Puppets album sounds wonderful. Get him in.

everyone who writes Rick Rubin makes me want to laugh. He doesn't fit into this team. imagine Rubin drinking tea and meditating on the meanders of life and Liam says fuck you fucking fuck to Noel or something like this. come on

Amazing it's happening. I'm got some many great memories of the hype of the build up to an Oasis album. Often the best part in the 00s.
Enjoyed the solo hype but it didn't compare.

Yeah, most likely some live gigs I expect. Would make sense given the big live comeback. I’m sure there’ll be a demo or two buried in the vaults that’ll be of interest to us too. |

Pretty sure we'll get Come On Outside someday with some sort of demo vocals from Liam. On the other hand, i hope Oasis never releases something like Better Days. Lazy Pop rock and yawn track |

They have to release new music, and I have the feeling that they will. The same kind of hope that there was floating around for their live return do exist for new music. The fact that Noel ditched his acoustic album for a rock one means he already has songs that he liked and demoed, they won't start from scratch. He has his own studio and can record it at his own pace and then just get Liam there for a week to lay down his vocals. Although I'd prefer if they got a top producer for it, hopefuly someone new.
It'll happen.

Would have loved a Steve Albini produced Oasis album..no frills, just a great natural rock n roll sounds. We know Noel loves layering and layering though, so that wouldn't have worked too well in the end, Albini worked very fast. Besides, he just died.
Dave Fridmann would be good, his records sound great. Always a bit of psychedelic sound in there and full of character. His records with Tame Impala, MGMT, Flaming Lips, The Cribs, Mercury Rev etc. all have a great sound. But he's the kinda guy you go to if you truly want him to shape and determine the sound of a record. I think Noel prefers to work alongside someome who will go down his path.

Not a sound expert, but Andrew Watt made a good job with the last Rolling Stones album, I think.

We can toss out awesome producers until the cows come home but the issue is Noel is a control freak and dinosaur. Who knows what he will allow or take orders from. I would like some sort of new music. A double A-side single would be tremendous. Liam on the A, Noel on the B.
