Good to see new music on the way, it won't be anywhere near as good as Noel but let's hope it's as good as can be. I think Noel's first album is absolutely shit. I stopped playing it a long time ago. Over produced. Chasing Yesterday was much better

I just cannot listen to this album anymore. I used to really love: Bag It Up The Turning Shock Of The Lightning I'm Outta Time Falling Down However, whenever I do try to listen to the album now, I struggle to even make it beyond The Turning. Every track for me is just below average to what Oasis had done. The opening three tracks do nothing for me, in fact, just like the rest of the album, it annoys me. I can't see how people can listen to this god awful mess of an album and an album that tries to be different for the sake of being different, yet slate Don't Believe The Truth or Heathen Chemistry. Both of which are no worse and, as far as I'm concerned, better as an actual album that Dig Out Your Soul. You ask, can we forgive the album. Yes we can but, the fact remains, to me, it's the worst Oasis album by a mile. I disagree DOYS is far better than Heathen Chemistry. HC is so bland and run of the mill.

It's so annoying that Bag It Up and The Turning were never played live.

I dont know, the youtube video has a good amount of "likes" versus "dislikes" but the majority of the comments are people saying they are disappointed. I dont think kasabian are are getting a huge amount of praise for the song, not across the majority anyway, seems most people think its nothing that special. Nothing special would turn in to "worst song I've ever heard" if Liam had released it.

Nirvana were 1000x better than Oasis, that much is for sure.

I like Bring the Light. At least it is something different than Oasis. Now we all want from Noel that he tries something new. Sometimes I don't understand people on this forum. Bring the light is awful. Noel has tried something different from Oasis with tracks like Alone on the rope, Ballad of the mighty I, While the song remains the same, The right stuff, Riverman, I'd pick you everytime and more.

Worst Noel Gallagher album to me. That doesnt mean it's not good, i like it but the songs are way less good than his past offerings. Also prefer some bsides to albums tracks although Freaky Teeth was kinda missed in the studio. And there The Ballad Of The Mighty I which is a shame for a songwriter like Noel. Worst song he's ever done, cringeworthy with all the cliches a songwriter can put into a song.

Hopefully the cover won't matter and the music is worthwhile. Seems around here most people are not to excited because they think it'll be same old same old. Will say I'm more stoked for this then Noel's new album. Maybes that's cause Chasing Yesterday was disappointing in my eyes and BE was more successful follow up to Beady Eye debut. Where CY was a downgrade from NGHFB album. Nah CY was better than NGHFB. Much better production and more varied songs as well.

First, I don't understand the backlash Noel is getting for posing for a photo with Simon Cowell. Whether you like the acts the guy has found or not, you can't deny that he's been a very successful talent scout and TV personality over the years. And if Noel is friends with the guy, what does that matter. I would say that posing for a picture with Simon Cowell is better than being in a band for nearly 20 years with a guy who cheats on two wives. And, I said it to Liam on Twitter and I'll say it here: Liam has no room to trash Noel for that photo when he willingly took Beady Eye on The Voice to promote BE and said he was willing to go on X-Factor too. I'm just beyond tired of him trashing Noel and Noel's fans. A lot of High Flying Birds fans were Oasis fans and are interested in seeing what Liam's solo album will be like. But the more he trashes the fans, the more I'm ready to say that him and his album can f*ck off. He's not in a band with Noel anymore. So, don't worry about him. He should be worrying about making his album the best it can be. Totally agree. I completely forgot Beady Eye were on The voice which makes Liam look even foolish. And plus Noel has been in worse photos:

I'd love to be surprised, but I don't think there's a chance in hell it will be better. But it doesn't need to be either. It just needs to be good. If it accomplishes that, people will take notice. I know it will be more rock and roll than Noels album for sure I can't see it. Most if not all of Liam's songs are slow ballads.

Certainly towards the end of the Dig Out Your Soul production sessions in early 2008, Noel and Gem did indeed demo songs that would end up on Noel's debut. Dream On was one of them, I think Soldier Boys and Stranded On The Wrong Beach might have been a couple of other ones done. Dave Sardy allegedly 'raved about them' and said to Noel during sessions that 'we should totally record these now!'. It sounds like another excuse to have a dig at Sardy (it is!), but those songs mentioned don't come close to Noel's songwriting on Dig Out Your Soul. Personally, I thought it was a major indictment on Noel's songwriting that they were all bland mid tempo plodders with not much rhythmic variation - again, that's the producers role to try and mix things up a bit, and Sardy failed to do so on Noel's first album - who knows, Amorphous Androgynous could very well have versions in the lockers that really do mix things up a lot more. least one track from DOYS was written in studio. Idk, seems like a weak shot by Gaz. Like you degrade him for "not putting the effort in" then when he's putting the effort it with David Holmes, you get pissy that it's not you receiving the credit. Come off it. Everything can't be your brilliance. I sometimes wonder who's more into their self, Gaz or Noel. Edit: The Ballad of the Mighty I story is weak too. No real reason to bring it up. Like he refers to the song as "liberated brilliance" as if he caused it to happen, even though he says it started in an earlier jam session, which I assume was without him since he doesn't give many details. Secondly, he complains that Strangeboy's part was cut, though it's not unusual for an artist to have multiple session musicians to play on a track if you're not satisfied anymore with the previous one, especially when that session musician is being replaced by Johnny Marr. If Johnny Marr, the greatest guitarist of his generation, said that he had an ace solo for my track, then bye bye Strangeboy. It comes off less as Gaz looking out for Strangeboy, and more Gaz being pissed that the solo was replaced, which negated HIS producing credit for the song, which really isn't all that underhanded. There's a lot of reasons to be sympathetic to Gaz, but the Might I story is a bridge too far, and more than a bit of a reach. I bet Gaz likes the sound of his own voice.

I'm surprised this hasn't been reported here (if I'm not mistaken) but Noel reffered to Debbie as being responsible for Oasis reunion rumours. Why? Where does that come from? I think it's pretty obvious why.

I thought this was boss. And there was a version of it they played on Japanese TV that was great, although Liam's vocals weren't as good. Not sure where to find it though.

Because it would be an album of offcuts of offcuts. The Masterplan is fine as it is. (Although maybe get rid of The Swamp Song). The only other b-sides probably worthy of inclusion are Let's All Make Believe (for definite) and maybe Flashbax, Round Are Way and Step Out. The b-sides were generally poor after Morning Glory, and I can't imagine it would have sold well. Leave "Swamp Song" alone. I love it. Oasis' best opening song at a concert. Yeah the maine road version is the best gig opener ever

I fucking hate the album version of TBWTL. Such a missed opportunity that it wasn't the same as the live version.

Listening to the Mustique demos really do make the album versions sound 100 times worse. Really? I think the opposite. I think it shows they really needed the final polish of Liam's vocals, the orchestras, overdubs and multi-guitar layers. The only track which sounds superior is arguably DYKWIM NG Rethink 2016, but even that is up for debate. The remastered versions sound even more distorted to me.

Ok, so I think this worked? I've basically removed Noel's vocal as best as I could without losing quality of the backing so there is a slight hint of double tracking in places but I'm happy with the result. I also extracted the solo from the original the best I could and dropped it in because I miss it on the demo because it's so low in the mix. clyp.it/def2ixgkHope people like it! That is amazing. How do you download it?
