Subjectivity is objectivity taken out focus. Therefore, what you feel is that cream eggs should be on sale all year round. They are on sale all year round in the cheap shops.

I feel like the line "I played it to a bunch of people who aren't Oasis fans and they loved it" is the new version of the grade school line of "of course I have a girlfriend, she just lives in another town". I keep reading this stuff on various other band forums. Not just oasis. Does this stuff actually happen?!? "All my friends voted for.... why didn't they win?".

1. the songs. noel always knew how to write a song, still does. he has that thing for melodies, which is god given. even his weakest outputs are miles better than what liam and his team came up with Here's a candle for your shit argument Jesus.

The songs aren't there though, they're avarage at best. No, you think they're average. Loads of us don't! I don't think they're terrible (FWIW aside) but they're nothing special. They're not Slide Away, DLBIA, Live Forever, Wonderwall, Listen Up etc etc etc. There's nothing that will cause many ripples or stir in the music world beyond this forum. It continues what Beady Eye gave us some avarage 6-7/10 songs. 90% of the music buying youth will know nothing about it and won't care. Again, I'm not saying it's terrible but there's no classic or incredible songs so far.

I tend to agree. I really don't get the determination to force Liam into being classed as a songwriter. He isn't. He's a singer, he's never done anything to suggest he should be writing albums. It's so blindingly obvious what he should be doing that I'm really at a loss why they're pursuing this dead end. It's a complete waste of his most unique and valuable asset to be putting him on soppy ballads way up out of his range. The first part of the chorus sounds like a computer singing (because it is), what's the point? The album will get number 1 in the UK and then go nowhere. Maybe that's all he needs to feel OK though, if so, fair enough. But there is the potential for him to so something utterly incredible by doing a collaborations album, imagine an album of song like Scorpio Rising! It would be biblical to use the man's own words. This is why some people get down on the song I think, it just encapsulates the completely wasted opportunity this album is, and that frankly nothing particularly has been learned. Who on earth wants to hear Liam singing Adele songs? I don't get it. What would you have Liam do? You said he's a singer right? Not a songwriter? Well he's signing all the songs on his debut and has polished writers crafting his tunes. That is his best possible play at the moment. In terms of collaborating with other artists and producers, well it's not 1996 or 2002 anymore. Maybe no one is calling Liam for his services. This could put him back on the map so to speak and then those other projects could possibly materialize. Give it time. Give Liam a chance. It's early people. The songs aren't there though, they're avarage at best and(in the UK at least) it IMHO won't do great. I'm not even convinced the album will get to number 1. If this is what Liam wants to do then fair enough but this is 2017 and not the 90s and he'll need to be prepared for a fairly poor chart run. I think even Noel will have to pull something special out of the bag to get a good chart run.

Realistically In today's current music charts Liams album is going to die. IMO FWIW is just awful but I really don't mind Chinatown or Wall of Glass or most of the other tracks. There's nothing amazing or stand out though, nothing thats really going to sell the album. Perhaps 20 years ago but not today,its Beady Eye standard and will sink after a couple of weeks in the top 10. Liams not a songwriter and never will be, he should collaborated or looked at something different.

Verses aren't too bad, chrous is brutal and musically clichéd. Musically cliched - on an Oasis board? It's dreadful mate, seriously.

When DBTT came out in Spring 2005, many people loved this song, but it never did anything to me. I hated this line - "Come on, baby blue" and I still do. It's funny how a narrative takes shape and now becomes accepted as fact. DBTT is not some great Oasis comeback. HC was a big time hit in England and Europe. They played enormous gigs, same as SOTSOG tour and DBTT tour and DOYS tours. They all had the same level as success in America and all the post 2000 albums are unbalanced. Some good tunes. Some ok tunes. Some shit tunes. So what is so different about DBTT compared to HC? The singles off HC were better overall. Big time sales. To me this is one big Oasis myth. Same as it ever was. As far as I can remember "Idle" was a pretty big hit in the UK. I remember it being played in pubs all the time and in general people loving it. Apart from that i dont think the album caused much stir in general. Lyla was a bit of a flop.

Oasis had better players on the bench for this album cycle. - Stop The Clocks - Record Machine - Boy With The Blues - Eyeball Tickler Stop the Clocks only works as a closer for me, and LTBL is the more sensible choice. Eyeball Tickler definitely should be on there. The other two maybe, but they are too firmly entrenched in my DOYS playlist to budge. You know what DBTT should have really been, though? An EP! 1. Turn up the Sun 2. Lyla 3. The Importance of Being Idle 4. The Roller 5. Part of the Queue 6. Let there be Love Let There Be Love should be burned in a giant music fire. The SOTSOG demo was better than the abomination of an album version.

Surprised by all the negativity. Liam's Lennon pastiches are very enjoyable, to me anyway. If it had been written by anyone but Liam....... Doesn't really matter anyway, it's a throwaway track.

According to U2Songs a music video for a song apparently named 'Best Thing' was filmed in Amsterdam in the past couple of days. The single release date for early September seems to be pretty much confirmed at this point. Oh God, the Kygo song from last year!

I heard the first single, and it is unmistakenly Noel, but super campy. It almost sounds like something U2 would have made post Pop if they continued on that trajectory. Starts out with him singing in in a high pitched falsetto saying "soul, give me a soul shiner, love I won't nickel and dime ya" Really funky guitars and four to the floor beat. Whoever made those lyrics up is clearly American.

Spent 3 hours with Russ, Gem and Mikey Rowe for a new episode of The StageLeft Podcast on Saturday and Russ talked a lot on the interview about Noels new album. Also clarified the Do the Damage Lyrics, the weird DLBIA chord, talked Alone on the Rope, Freaky Teeth, setslists and some truly fucking funny a Stories. Will be available at the end of the month. Pics at @thestageleftpod on twitter and instagram Can you give us a sneak preview of thoughts on the new album simmo? Go on, just a sentence.... Dad rock. ;-)

Dream On is weak but not as weak as ITHOTM. The latter has got to contain one of the worst melody Noel has ever composed. And his singing on it is awful. WAL and TBOTMI aren't much better (so is Do The Damage too). ITHOTM rocks live.I hated it at first but its really grown on me. BOTMI is one of the best songs he's written since MG !

Why is everyone always going on about WAL being the biggest single from the first album? Wouldn’t it have been TDOYAM? Did it not chart the highest? Yes,but WAL had better longevity in the top 40 of UK singles chart. It was also used in the European Championships on a TV ad (Vauxhall?) in England at the time which made it even more popular IIRC.

Bit of a shame they've put their most interesting stuff for a while on a side show EP. If only CM would get his head out of his arse and get back to writing interesting albums I do have to say though the Chainsmokers song is awful.
