Right, I'm not making this up guys. I listened to the album this morning with the earphones blasting & my body actually shuddered when Noel's vocals on the chorus for It's A Beautiful World kicked in  |

It's amusing how out of touch this forum has become. How was the U2 concert Bill? One of the best I've been to. |

All this experimentation from Noel (Can, Can, Can) and yet he’s still using that same strumming pattern.

Noely G's best work since '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' nme review   What a difference two decades make. In the 90s we nailed our colours to Blur or Oasis; now we’re forced to choose between Oasis Oasis and Blur Oasis. Team Liam prefer things as they were – one massive, lairy love-in. Team Noel, meanwhile, are embracing a more experimental mindset and thereby, by some immense twist of cosmic irony, finally starting to live up to all those frigging Beatles comparisons at last. It’s hardly Oneohtrix Point Never but, for Noel, NGHFB’s third album ‘Who Built The Moon?’ marks a grand sonic expansion. First single ‘Holy fuckballs’ set the retro-revisionist tone – the sound of glam-era Bowie, The Vaccines, Showaddywaddy and Andy Peters all marching to Jona Lewie’s tin whistle – and its excitable, life-loving spirit infects Noel’s best album since ‘…Morning Glory’.  |

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Who Built The Moon? Flying higher than he has in a while, Noel is smiling again… clash music review 8-10  It is perhaps fitting that even its creator is unhelpfully setting the bar too high for ‘Who Built The Moon?’ as so many listeners will come to this with expectations of what he should be doing right now and be disappointed as a consequence. It’s not an Oasis record and it’s not a wholly experimental album either. However, it is his best work in an age and an interesting marker for a Andy Peters esque creative purple patch from an artist rediscovering their sense of purpose. As winter descends, these songs offer up an enveloping array of melody and an endearingly gleeful playfulness that is hard to resist.

www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/noel-gallagher-s-high-flying-birds-who-built-the-moon-review-a-dried-up-oasis-of-dross-1.3299720This guy gets it. 'There are musical gestures here that would be a cause of embarrassment if you heard them played by a gang of black-clad teenagers at a Saturday afternoon battle of the bands in a rural parish hall. In Be Careful What You Wish For, a basic practice-room lick on the acoustic guitar intro gives way to something that is meant to be possessed of a smoky, mechanic blues. Instead, when the vocals start matching the guitar – “chick-a-paw” – it is very hard not to laugh. From the music to the lyrics – a platitudinous, again curiously adolescent, portrait of an outsider – it’s awkward and childish.'

I haven't listened to it yet but I'll suspect the opinion of those who don't accept Holy Mountain is a banger.

Reviews for this record have been great for this album. |

Just had my first listen through and it was a real struggle. First and foremost, it doesn't really feel like an album in terms of how it's sequenced and how it flows. Keep On Reaching is embarrassingly bad, maybe the worst Noel song ever. She Taught Me How to fly is also really fucking bad to my ears.
The most appealing tracks that made the album are Holy Mountain & The Man Who Built The Moon. But, the best of the bunch is Dead In The Water, which is ironic because it's probably the least experimental/adventurous thing here. The rest is completely forgettable.
Stick to what you know you miserable old prick.
EDIT: Fucking hell, those 2 instrumentals are so lazy and are basically just the same fucking song. He didn't even have enough tunes to make an 11-track album so he wrote 1 instrumental and out it on the record twice. And he calls Liam mentally ill.

What an absolute cunt he is these days, it's really fucking sad that he's turned out like this.
He comes across as a self-centred and egotistical prick far more than Liam ever has done.
