Jorma's first impression review:
right now for my own pleasure Id give
Ballad of the mighty I 8.5/10 (grower)
in the heat of the moment 8.5/10 (grower)
I think theyre both improved versions of the boring ...What a Life(which was actually the weakest track on his debut).
I really enjoy these new tunes, and enjoy the way they both sound although Im afraid the album will sound too slick without edges. The drums and bass sound mint on these tracks. Let's hope that the album has more suprising tunes and not just this...this professionality.
I liked his debut very much but I think he needs to really put something different too just to keep ME interested. Although, if every track could be a single I really couldnt at the end of the day give a fuck about differentiality or experimentality. Its still all about tunes when it comes to the end(man!!)
The question is that how many tunes will there be on chasing yesterday? Are these two singles tunes enough??
If 'chasing yesterday did exist', noel gallagher would still invent it...

NME:
’The Riverman’
Noel's already described this opener as “summoned from a smoky room in 1963... It's fucking amazing. It's my favourite track on the album, and one of my favourites I've ever done." Sure enough, it’s a swampy treasure full of lusting lyrics (“there’s something in the way she moves me to distraction”) and acoustic jangles that simmers towards a saxophone solo climax like something out of a murky detective movie montage.
’In The Heat Of The Moment’
You’ve heard this one. This lead single still sounds as big as it did in November 2014, going for the indie-rock-sing-along jugular with a chorus so huge Noel probably had to apply to his local council for planning permission.
‘The Girl with X-Ray Eyes’
A howling, melancholic epic with massive echoes of ‘Hotel California’, with typically Noel lyrics: “she swallowed space and time… she shot me to the sun, like a bullet from a gun.” Cinematic and sprawling, it’s not unlike 2011 single ‘If I Had A Gun’.
’Lock All The Doors’
Oasis die-hards are going to go nuts for this one. Gallagher first started working on the track 23 years ago. Its ‘Be Here Now’-era fizz of guitars are more than worth the wait here, powering to a stomping adrenaline-packed finale.
’The Dying Of The Light’
The pace drops for this “grandiose… uplifting and beautiful track,” as Noel described it to NME in November. “Woke up stinking on a train that was bound for Norway,” Gallagher sings over maudlin piano. “I tried my best to get there but I can’t afford the bus fare.”
’The Right Stuff’
You know that strutting brass I mentioned? This jazzy, lightly psychedelic jam is the album’s most far-out moment, full of crazed stabs of saxophone, bluesy distorted guitar and drugged grooves. “Are you the devil with a heart of gold?” asks Noel, bolstered by female backing singers.
’While The Song Remains The Same’
Opening with a Brian Eno-ish synth odyssey, this is another Sergio Leone spaghetti western soundtrack killer, like ‘The Riverman’. “We can dance beneath the fire flies on an empty road,” suggests Noel over a shuffling beat and spooky guitar echoes.
’The Mexican’
“You need love just like a kid on crack,” booms Noel over cowbell and Josh Homme-inspired riff, “I got a feeling that what I want is holding you back.” A sleazy LSD-fuelled ‘60s freak-out.
’You Know We Can’t Go Back’
Sparkling guitars chime over airy synths before – what’s this?! – a four minute blast of Springsteen pop-rock, unfurled over breathless drums. The album’s cheeriest moment, Noel sounds like he’s having a tonne of fun, swapping swagger for buoyant, celebratory melodies. “Maybe I believe in magic love, find it in the moon and stars above,” he cries
’Ballad of The Mighty I’
You’ll have heard this one too. An emphatic closer, driven by a sinister bass line, over which guest guitarist Johnny Marr slings crunching chords, its strings and determined chorus calls (“yes I’ll find you!”) make for an intriguing finale.

Never getting excited about these nme previews again, remember the BE one referencing beefheart jams, space rock, scarface etc? and was genuinely curious, only to be let down by that turd.
They always get lyrics wrong too....'shake your reptile baby' indeed!

Good tune that. The end: "Chris Martin did ten takes", hahaha. He's also looking far better in red pants than he did in that white shirt, jeez. Still looks the business. Did any other fanbois notice the same shoes hanging from the Live Forever documentary? |

The Girl with the xray eyes is in it as well, as is While The Song Remains The Same, which is gorgeous btw. Why do people guess these things and pretend to know what they're talking about? |

Pretty sure that train was bound for nowhere, rather then Norway Judging by the route the leak thread has taken it might even be bound for Finland |
