I'd be happy with your tracklist if you took High Horse Lady out. I'd say its an improvement except that. Ok i'm removing it next time i listen to DOYS, just for you (you have my word) You don't have to do that. I'll probably copy your list minus HHL.

I really don’t understand the love for I’m Outta Time.
I definitely liked it at the time but it’s just one of those songs that gets worse with time. No staying power for me at all.
Edit: although, it probably looks like a classic next to Ain’t Got Muffin and Nature of Reality.

Up until Falling Down (or possibly even TBWTL), I think it's shaping up to be a classic and easily the best thing since BHN.
Unfortunately it goes off a cliff for the last 3 songs which totally destroy any claim of it being a truly great album which is a crying shame considering it turned out to be the final album.
If they took another 3-6 months and released the album in Spring 2009 instead we could have got something like this which they could have proudly bowed out with:
1. Bag It Up 2. The Turning 3. Waiting for the Rapture 4. The Shock of the Lightning 5. I'm Outta Time 6. (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady 7. Falling Down 8. To Be Where There's Life 9. Boy With The Blues 10. Record Machine (LG Vocals) 11. Stop The Clocks (LG Vocals)

Edit: although, it probably looks like a classic next to Ain’t Got Muffin and Nature of Reality. Gets better with age for me. Good vocal from Liam, beautiful piano, nice arrangement. Simple but moving song. It's the despair that makes it I think. Not oppressive, woe is me despair, just the realisation that there are no more chances, this is the end of the road, time is up. A kind of weary acceptance of it I guess. That's what it means to me anyway. One of Liam's best.

The other Oasis song NGHFB released Come On It's Alright would have been a much better fit as would A sImple Game of Genius

For me the ending ruins the album. Some of this and heavier mix, like SOTSOG. 👌🏻
1. Bag it Up 2. The Turning 3. Waiting for the Rapture 4. The Shock of the Lightning 5. I'm Outta Time 6. Falling Down 7. To Be Where There's Life 8. Ain't Got Nothin' 9. Boy with the Blues

With beefy guitars from DOYS it could have been huge, especially if the rumored 7 mins version exists.

As most people have said. Very good record up until High Horse Lady. Then, for me, the rest of it (minus Falling Down which is excellent) is dross.
If we're doing fantasy tracklistings:
1. Bag It Up 2. The Turning 3. Waiting for the Rapture 4. The Shock of the Lightning 5. I'm Outta Time 6. Come on Outside 7. Falling Down 8. To Be Where There's Life 9. Boy with the Blues 10. Record Machine
Then you've got b-sides: High Horse Lady, Ain't Got Nothin', Nature of Reality, I Believe In All, Soldier On, Those Swollen Hand Blues.
you've got a solid 8/10 album there, and easily the best since Be Here Now.

every tracklist here as its charm. never thought about Record Machine closing the record, but that 7m version with Liam on vocals could have done it.
I love this album. too bad Nature of Reality is ruined by those horrendous rhymes and Liam's vocal doesn't help

I still don't quite know what the hell they were doing with that second half. It's utterly dire and tuneless so is it trying to be 'esoteric', is it trying to be experimental, is it trying to be abstract?
Because it's none of those things. It's derivative, plodding pseudo-philosophising bullcrap. Maybe the worst 'side 2' to an album ever. Outside of the 4-5 truly awful songs, it's only a solid if unspectacular EP. The album's like taking a piss on a bowl of cornflakes.

The album's like taking a piss on a bowl of cornflakes. Yeah. I was expecting something really interesting and out-there from the second half based on pre release interviews and reviews and at the time I would have been reasonably happy with that even if the songs weren't really there. But they were never experimental or psychedelic in the slightest, just because a song is called The Nature Of Reality or has a few echo-y effects on the vocals it doesn't make it a psychedelic tune. It's just basic 60's inspired rock. One thing that really annoys me and it's quite petty I know is how certain Noel/Liam/Oasis songs are described as 'experimental' and critisized for not following the expected formula when they really aren't that different. The last few songs of DOYS + GOYHHL are barely experimental even by the mid 60's standards which is what they were aiming for. BE was never 'out there or experimental' it just had a couple of overly long outro's, WBTM wasn't experimental either, Noel just took some inspiration from 80's bands like New Order. Nothing they've ever done outside of remixes or the AA mixed tracks from HFB have been remotely experimental. I get so annoyed when people criticize certain songs for being too 'experimental' see people hating on WBTM for being too different when it would barely be considered anything other than standard pop/rock 40 years ago. DOYS was a rock/pop album like everything else they ever did and I can't excuse poor songwriting for the sake of it being something different when it really wasn't.

DOYS was a rock/pop album like everything else they ever did and I can't excuse poor songwriting for the sake of it being something different when it really wasn't. I agree, Noel and Oasis have never been experimental in terms of song structures. Another example is all that sound effects on stuff like Who Feels Love was just window dressing on what is just a bog standard mid tempo dirge of a song. Who Built The Moon is closest in the sense that there is a stylistic shift with more varied influences than before, and sonically much more expansive and interesting than anything he'd done since the brickwalled early Oasis albums (a technique I absolutely love). There was varied rhythms all over the place on that album that didn't just stick to mid tempo plodding. For example, pumping some soul vibes into songs like Keep On Reaching did the trick for me. The end of Dig Out Your Soul just bemused me. It's just so so bad, a harbinger for Beady Eye unfortunately.

The song that sounds the most like a Beatles track right after a Lennon sound clip, because why the fuck not at this point? And 2 songs that have Blues in the title? Also, who gives a fuck.
