If Liam's album comes out in the first half of 2019, Noel will have music ready soon enough.
Bottom line with Noel is, you just don't know. He's been less than forthcoming in the past about his progress on projects.

I thought it was funny that either Isbell didn't know that the guitar player WAS the songwriter, or he had knowledge of Liam's awful guitar playing...

Jason Isbell on Noel's lyrics: "I never liked Oasis until I saw them live. I saw them in Baltimore once, and they were really, really good. I’m not that big a fan of the songwriting, lyrically. I think the melodies are really cool. I think “Don’t Look Back in Anger” is a beautiful melody. But you know his lyrics are about as good as his brother’s guitar playing. It’ll work if nobody is really paying attention." Noel's lyrics are all about being sung back at him in unison by thousands of people, not poetry. He's always been successful at that and I think he does come up with some decent lyrics within songs fairly often, even if he does have some fallback lyrics to do with the weather and religion. The man is a chorus machine, but I think you've got the cart before the horse. When he wrote Definitely Maybe, he had no idea they'd be singing them back to him. It became apparent very quickly, and he went to that well to great effect, but the chicken came before the egg in this case.

The worst thing about Holy Mountain are the lyrics. Something that I see Noel is struggling with as he gets older, aside from a few here and there. Doesn't Have To Be That Way I think is better lyrically. Still not very good though. Jason Isbell on Noel's lyrics: "I never liked Oasis until I saw them live.

Beady Eye had some hooks and some decent under developed ideas, but not many whole, complete songs. I think that was their failure.

Liam has succeeded with a very good album with very good songs, that’s your best marketing tool. Beady Eye didn’t fail because of marketing, they failed because they were shit. End of story. #nailedit Why would fans get credit? Through out the history of pop music, it's been proven time and again, the public doesn't know what it wants. It takes an artist, taking a chance, putting himself out there, willing to drown. Do you think public knew they wanted the Beatles? Hendrix? Zepplin? Nope! They had no clue until they experienced it. My buddy played me an album in 1978 that blew my head off. I had been Van Halened! This came from deep inside Liam. He was motivated because he was doubted. Great album! Great Comeback! and I'm #teamnoel !!!!!

I like it too. The bassline should've been louder though. Either that or the guitars should've sounded like they did in the live versions. I really feel like the bass takes away from the vocal. God bless. I like that in the Documentary, Liam plays the drums to it.

The quality control dropped a lot by that point because he knew any album would sell and they could make big money going out on tour. Not to say he didn't give a shit at all, but there was definitely a bit of "fuck it, that'll do" about the later albums. I agree with this whole heartedly. Noel spoke later of having some trouble coming up with really good tunes in the numbers that he had previously. Still, I am fond of SOTSOG. Hell, I listened to the DEMOS like a new album.

I didn’t really like Noel going around all December 1999 on the North American tour basically saying the new album has “two turds” on it. Evidence that he’d all but given up and was phoning it in from this point onwards. I can only think financial reasons was the motivation. Man, I'm having a hard time with the level of cynicism. I'm REALLY hoping you're wrong in this. This was the time I got on the Oasis train. The Masterplan was in the record shops and I bought that and SOTSOG about the same time.

And now Scott Walker is the Governor of Wisconsin. Now THAT's a reinvention. I'm still not clear on why Noel FUCKING Gallagher needs to change anything. Why don't you whiney asses find a NEW artist to cling to instead of trying get Noel to "reinvent" himself. You talk as I feel he’s still writing classic tunes from the 90s. I’d rather listen to him fart in a bath tub than hear shite like Girl With The X-Ray Eyes ever again. Noel is Noel. He's still writing Noel songs. I would suggest if one didn't like Noel songs, that the pursue other artists that they would prefer.

Fair enough. He's a grown ass man and can do what he wants. Pretty sure Noel doesn’t swing that way to be honest. X well played....

Okay then, my wishes for NGHFB LP4: - Stay with David Holmes, stay energetic. ONE Dead-in-the-Water type track is allowed IF AND ONLY IF it's as good and raw as that one. Everything else has to be modern, colourful, and bold. - Collaborate! Noel has a bunch of contacts in the bizz, there's no reason why I shouldn't be hearing some Albarn or Justin Vernon vocals on a track, some guitar-work from Jonny Buckland, or even some Sons of Kemet rhythms. - I'd like Noel to put more stock in his voice as a varied instrument. When he sings with a bit of venom like on Waiting for the Rapture or near the end of Idler's Dream, it works surprisingly well in all honesty, and I'd love to see him do things like that more - maybe sing a-capella for a bit or sample his voice into the instrumental itself. It would be really cool to have a Noel album that sounds like no-one else but Noel could have sang it. - Use David's experience with ambience more. Holmes has made some gorgeous ambient tracks in the past and it'd be great to see Noel incorporate that on LP4. The peaceful instrumental in the Beautiful World bridge is wonderful for instance, but I'd love to see some proper ambient soundddscappeessss on the next album, maybe just as a gorgeous While-the-Song style intro, maybe as a standalone track with Charlotte reading some French poetry over it or something. Just use the man who made Hey Maggie to full effect. - I'd like to see him use the jazz stylings of songs like The Right Stuff in something fast-paced. Everytime he uses jazz aesthetics, the track is a slow-burner; it'd be amazing if he matched them with a Holy-Mountain-esque sense of energy too. I was listening to Lana Del Ray's Born to Die song the other day, and I love how she used an almost hip-hop beat with little echoey vocal samples and deep bass to build a dramatic and quite retro ballad on top of. Perhaps Noel is now in a place where he can mix-and-match genre features with creativity like that too; with Holmes at the helm, I'm sure he could pull off a folk-punk bridge, a soul-sampling love-song, or even my dream of a jazzy disco banger. - This last one addresses my one real problem with Who Built the Moon?, and that's that I'd like a more consistent tone throughout. To me, tracks like Fort Knox, Beautiful World, Careful What You Wish For, Wednesday, The Man Who Built the Moon, and Dead in the Water could all have been part of a dark, hypnotic album with an almost sarcastic edge. Holy Mountain, Keep on Reaching, She Taught Me How to Fly, and If Love is the Law, though, sound like they make up part of a riotous carnival of an album. I love all these songs, of course, I'd just like Noel to put more thought in the themes and sounds behind the album, rather than just how he creates the tracks themselves. Some sort of quasi-album-concept would be cool: maybe give it a setting like Travis Scott did with the haunted themepark idea on ASTROWORLD, a story theme like Arcade Fire did with Orpheus and Eurydice on Reflektor, or even some sort of artsy historical backdrop like the French Revolution on Coldplay's Viva la Vida. That may be wishful thinking but my hope is that it would lead to an album that feels more like a place I can visit than a collection of songs with an ideology in their songwriting process. I literally agree with everything you said. I'd take it more extreme. I love Noel's voice but we also loved when he wrote songs that Lian sang. I would love an album that features several other people. And respectfully, I couldn't disagree more. I'm a huge fan of Noel Gallagher, the singer/songwriter who has always said writes his tunes on an acoustic guitar and then builds around that. I love all his Oasis stuff. Rocking, rolling, fast, slow, I love it all. I have enjoyed all three NGHFB albums, but WBTM least of the three. Noel Gallagher doing jazz, or trying to become a scat singer, is not appealing to me. Let other guys reinvent themselves, because they have to. I'm good with Noel Gallagher being Noel Gallagher.

i hope to God he doesn't overthink it this time by 'not trying to sound like Noel Gallagher' please come in with some tunes that have been demoed. the write the tunes day of shit never really works- and lyrics tend to suffer for it too. He has said in another interview (or maybe this one) that he'd probably do a conventional album, as well, because he has such a back log of songs.

I watched it last night. It was good, but I found myself getting bored with it because it was a whole album cycle ago. And Noel does tend to field the same questions the same way. I had heard it all before.
The highlight, obviously, was hearing the Chasing Yesterday songs acoustically.

Things I would have done differently for MOON............... - Remove alarm clock bell or shorten it down to about 10-12 seconds. - Remove Charlotte’s spoken word from Beautiful World. It’s getting old for me and wont age well. Really dig the tune but wish Holmes came up with something instrumental for that middle part. Shit that’s his calling card. Guy does cool stuff. Plus what is noel supposed to do down the line on future tours when Charlotte isn’t in the band? - Combine the two instrumentals into one track, place it in the middle of the album to split it up. - Add the song Holmes love the most during the sessions but Noel felt it needed additional work. MOON is a little skimpy with full one tracks. I’d be willing to roll the dice on including it. I trust Holmes. - I’d also remove Dead In The Water. It’s totally not needed and come off like Noel needed this as his saving grace if the album didn’t succeed in the charts or reviews. He should have made it a future one off single. Studio version on one side, live version as the b side. I’m also not in love with the live version selected. Sounds like Noel is far from the mic and singing in the bathroom. Agree - Dead in the Water is a great song, but the album version is not great. Too much reverb on the voice, as you mentioned. I'm sure the idea was the whole "Talk Tonight" feel. A full blown studio version would've been awesome!
