^ amen :nod:

 

But I don't think it's possible, Noel has 13% more pre-orders than Matt Cardle on Amazon from what I read.

I mean, this is Noel Gallagher people!

 

Yes, but most of the people that buy Matt Cardle "music" don't preorder or they buy from iTunes. In the other hand, fans of Noel buy more CDs and vinyls. We'll see next week.

 

Part 2 of the album is up:

"High Flying Birds is the best collection of Noel Gallagher tunes since his 'Morning Glory’ days."

 

Britpop fans will feel an irresistible stirring of the loins at the build up to Everybody’s On the Run, the opening track of Noel Gallagher’s first post-Oasis album. A Ringo-style drum fill introduces a swirl of strings gathering around the melody, as a choir pipes up, acoustic guitars strum and a Manchester voice lets fly with “You can’t find the feeeeeeeeeling”, improbably stretching the vowel.

 

It is not perhaps the voice we’re most used to, softer in tone than brother Liam’s, lacking the aggressive edge associated with most Oasis classics, but by the time Noel has rhymed “feeling” with “ceiling”, then shifted into a chorus imploring listeners to “hold on”, you might as well surrender to the simple, joyous pleasures of another belting, sing-a-long anthem.

High Flying Birds is the best collection of Gallagher tunes since his Morning Glory days.

“You’ve been drifting and stealing / Try to walk in my shoes, but they don’t belong to you,” Noel sings on what may be the album’s only reference to his sibling. Now that both camps have released albums, you have to say that big brother has shown everyone why he was known as The Chief.

 

Beady Eye sound like Oasis without the songs. High Flying Birds sounds like Oasis with a little twist of something different: charm. It is a kinder, gentler, more grown-up Oasis, freer in spirit, broader in outlook, richer in tone.

 

While it doesn’t venture anywhere particularly startling, you can almost hear the weight being lifted off Noel’s shoulders. There’s a New Orleans-style horn section parping away on The Death of You and Me, an Ibiza disco rhythm driving AKA… What a Life!, and while there are plenty of gleefully nonsensical “razor blade / lemonade” rhymes, Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks is his first venture into political terrain, a cheerful Kinksy ditty linking religion and war.

The electric guitars are toned down, allowing the songs to breathe a little, and move away from the wall of noise that made latter-day Oasis albums so oddly joyless.

 

It is as if he has picked up where he left off around the mid-Nineties, when tracks like The Masterplan indicated a musical ambition greater than just rocking stadiums. That said, it is still all a bit one dimensional. No one doubts Noel’s songcraft but he could push himself further. After the epic, dreamy plod of Stop the Clocks, he concludes his solo debut with a wild squall of electric lead and sax that leaves you surprised, smiling and eager for more.

Alone On The Rope is a b-side from what song?

}

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjTmt0TYBWU

 

 

Bonus track:

A Simple Game of Genius

 

The b-sides are:

 

The Good Rebel (from death of you and me)

Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me (from what a life)

I'd Pick You Every Time (from if i had a gun)

Alone On The Rope (from ??)

 

right?

 

Alone On The Rope is, for now, a bonus track from Amazon Germany:

I think it's going to be release later like a bonus track elsewhere or b-side.

Alone On The Rope is one of the most stunning songs I've ever heard from Noel. It's a shame it's not on the album but it's probably a bit too Parachutes like or Radioheadish for the album.

 

But yeah I don't know how to describe that song apart from there's a place from my old days where I want to listen to that song. There's something quite reminiscent about it.
