They could talk about Weller, but they'll definitely talk about NG, otherwise they wouldn't really "hit back" would they? If they are releasing an album with Weller (massive 'if', I know...) just a month after Noel saying that stuff about their work 'never seeing the light of day' and so on, then that probably would be a hit back.
Although I guess the headline there would be 'Paul Weller' rather than 'Noel Gallagher'... Idk... Just rumours anyway...

I don't know why Noel couldn't have just said that the album didn't work out and moved on rather than slagging them off over it. I imagine there'll be stuff in this that'll make uncomfortable reading for him.

In one of the recent foreign language interviews Noel said he'd used music recorded in those sessions. The mags out today - anyone been able to pick it up yet? Surprised the NME website hasn't published any teaser quote articles yet... Find scan attached (quality not very good, but I think it is readable). Not a big deal, anyway. The most surprising relevation is that AA did not know Noel was recording another album while working with them !. But there is not any bitter attack on Noel Thanks, capanb2000. Not a lot of information, I wonder if the NME cut all the controversial stuff or if Gaz was genuinely nice towards Noel. Though it kind of confirms what we've said here many times: Noel didn't have a lot of input on the AA sessions and probably wasn't completely satisfied with the final product since it reflected a foreign vision of his music. The AA think it's great, Noel doesn't and there's the conflict. We'll have to wait to get our hands on Chasing Yesterday and look at the credits, but I think it's fair enough if he's used material or ideas from the sessions and credited AA as producers. On the other hand, I understand Gaz's disappointment in being let down after putting such an effort on the album. At the end of the day, it's Noel's right to cancel something he wouldn't be proud to release and we'll all just have to move on. Hopefully the most experimental touches in the new album will be well received and we might look forward to more artistic risks from Noel.

Sounds like the NME took some stuff out in favor of Noel.

Yeah, that's the sort of repetitiveness I find boring... I've heard songs that are 70 minutes long that are less boring than the last 4 or so minutes of It's Getting Better(Man)... new music could you give me some songtitles, alway in for discovering Most of the stuff I like is psychedelic/ambient/rock etc... A.M.T- Electric Psilocybin Flashback Bardo Pond- Datura Difficult naming individual songs, some of the albums I like are... Come With Us Dig Your Own Hole - Chemical Brothers Embryonic The Terror - Flaming Lips Organik - Robert Miles The Isness - Amorphous Androgynous ISDN - Future Sound of London Lapsed Set and Setting Ticket Crystals - Bardo Pond New Geocentric World of Acid Mothers Temple Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under the Stars Penultimate Galactic Bordello Also The World You Made* - Acid Mothers Temple *(250 minute long album spread across four songs...) Yeah, sorry, I know you asked for songs, couldn't really do it... more of an album person... I've roughly put it in order of how weird the music is

I wish Noel had released it, just like I wish his Chemical Brothers type stuff would have been Be Here Now, so that Oasis released a Sgt. Peppers-type record instead of the flop that was BHN. He always seems to pull back just when he is about to do something radical. Maybe this will be his "Smile" now, with us wondering what might have been for a decade or two.

I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed with Weller's new tune. Sure, the production is great, but the song is simply lacking substance. The riff is not very interesting, and neither are the melody and lyrics. Like some of the stuff I've heard from AA, it suffers from repetition and an obsession with sound and style over quality songwriting. A bit of a letdown after three amazing records in a row. I hope it is not representative of the rest of the album.
And I may be blind, but I'm pretty sure that guy is not Gem? Although he does look like him, I'll admit.

The song has got a good groove and stuff, but it's pretty boring. Never been into Weller anyway.
This one sounds like Stereophonics You gotta go there to come back era.

Some more kinda interesting comments by Gaz from Facebook...
-"no the one you're thinking of that we DID do was ' the song doesn't remain the same ' unfortunately that one was scrapped cos it was the quietest revolution of all time" (in reply to someone asking whether they were involved in Whilst the Song Remains the Same)
-"its not me versus him...you do me a disservice reducing it to that ....I'm not a god, he's not a twat..i like him....i don't live in a Star Wars script....good vs evil......shit vs good .......I'm an artist who enters creative processes until they resolve....sometimes its complex and you need to dig deep....i made a mistake thinking everyone understands this about music- , quite clearly they don't !" (in reply to some people criticising Noel)
-"To be honest... the biggest disappointment for me in all of this is that in the end our material was just cherry picked to give him obscurity credibility when actually the best things we did ( imo )were actually perfectly measured songs flowing ( not abstracted ) but very creatively produced... something i believe which would have been loved by his fans hungry for a little expansion but also non-believers .....WHAT A LIFE ...we never chose it for our album cos we never liked it &.it was.just a remix after the event" (On the remix of What a Life)
-"it's only a peep hole i'm offering here.....tracks 6 & 8 were unique cos we originated them because we felt his demos were all mid paced , insular & guitar based songwriting and we wanted and knew that people ( even his fans ) would want & expect more diversity on his solo album,( Chemical Brothers hits/ KRAUTROCK / Monstrous Psych Bubble / FLOYD ' Dark Side of the moon ' constant comparisons by him in the media made it EVEN more imperative . I'm glad he sees the wisdom of that an album later . . . "(On The Right Stuff and the Mexican)
-"anyone needing backing vocals ? I'm your man !" (Commenting on the album credits)

I really don't get why Noel just doesn't release it. It doesn't have to be album #3. It could just be some itunes/amazon exclusive thing. Hell, it could just be a youtube stream. It's not going to hurt his credibility or sales. At this point, it would just be extra tracks. Fans love that kind of stuff.
Wouldn't it be great to have a new track released on youtube or something every few months, leading up to his next official release? Just keep doing that until that full project is out. That would keep people somewhat entertained in the time inbetween main albums and give everyone a new conversation piece. It would also please AA to a point, because at least their work would be getting out there, even if they aren't raking in the cash for it. And Noel wouldn't have to be bothered about it being a failed album.

Call me crazy but I now want the AA album more than ever. How bad can it be with songs like:
Shoot A Hole Into The Sun The Death of You and Me Freaky Teeth The Mexican Ballad of The Mighty I The Right Stuff

To be fair, Noel has not been saying the reason he didn't release AA's versions of his songs was because of them being sprawling 12 minute odes to female sex sounds. He has said that he doesn't think the recordings were that good. There's a big difference. Him defining it more by saying that the songs were good, but representation of them was not deepens that sentiment. No one has gone with the simplistic explanation in all of this. That maybe, just maybe, Noel is telling the truth. That they're really not that good. Because as Noel points out, why would he drop over 100k on a record and then lose his nerve? One would think he'd been more frugal about losing his nerve? There's no courage or nerve in releasing something you think is shit. There's just stupidity. Personally, I'd love to hear it, but that's because I'm a fan. Fans don't care. Fans just want music. Fans arent required to think of a large picture and it's very easy for them to call an artist a "pussy" because they won't release a piece of music. But if Noel truly believes it's shit and is willing to eat that much money on it, for something he knows he'd probably make the money back automatically the second he released it anyways, says a lot about the actual state of the recordings. Why eat that much money? I have a hard time believing it's all ego, spotlight, and loss of nerve. For me, that makes little sense. At some point, even for someone as rich as Noel, the money matters. And having to dole out a 100k and producing credits on a solo album and then dealing with the embarrassment of giving up on a project that he had bragged about seems like a large price to pay, even for Noel, for something that's only a "loss" of nerve. It just doesn't add up for me. I rag on Noel so much over the AA project because he talked it up so much between July 2011 and January 2012. He said it was great and excited to released it. Then slowly but surely (once HFB became a big seller) did the narrative of his story change. I have no idea why Noel doesn't want to release. His quotes from then and now are a complete 180. I suspect something else is in play over this fiasco but not sure what it is. Probably a combination of many things. Noel should learn to zip it or hear endless fan speculation. I'd agree. However, it's not like he hasn't announced and had an album that he's highly touted prior. The difference this time is that he actually had time to think about the bravado he put out there. People here will always worship stuff that might in the end, only be barely listenable like DIV, which Noel still gets flack for though I don't believe he ever paraded that project as much, and the AA sessions. Personally, I'm all for artists throwing caution to the wind and experimenting, but I'm all for them doing that confidently. As you said, something happened and in my opinion it wasn't just one thing. However, I think it's too simple to just say this is down to a loss of nerve or he's a p u s s y. I think this is far more complex than ego, credit, management, or anything else goes. And I do think that it's probably not that good. Because if it was that good, does anyone really think Noel would sit on an album that could be amazing because of a bruised ego? That he would embarrassingly retreat that hard because management told him? That just doesn't add up to me. The simplest answer is to begin with the thing that no one wants to admit. That noel did what noel always does. He misjudged his own material, got cocky, gained perspective later, and then retreated. Sound familiar? Sound like his strategy with BHN? Another album that has good songs, but the songs aren't represented well. The only difference is that he released BHN. The simplest route is that Noel truly believes it's shit. Anything else just becomes a conspiracy theory.

Anything else just becomes a conspiracy theory. Of cours when I call Noel a "P U S S Y" I'm only being half serious. I've long given up on ever hearing the AA album. Not gonna lie, when he announced it I was more excited for that than his straight forward HFB record. As weeks turned to months the reality of the situation set in, that the AA album would never be released. Oh well. These things happen. Noel did respond with a kick ass sophomore album though. Great listen thus far. I'll always wonder what projects like Death In Vegas and AA might have sounded like. With songs like Shoot A Hole, The Death of You and Me, Freaky Teeth, The Right Stuff, The Mexican and The Ballad of The Mighty I, that AA project peaks my interest even more.

What a fucking joke. This really isn't about quality control is it, its about a loss of nerve.

It just doesn't add up for me. Ego, spotlight and a loss of nerve have been occurring in music for decades. Dylan in a sense lost his nerve by releasing a different version of Blood On The Tracks and I'm sure there are many, many other examples. A lot of people might say that your first instincts are right and when you start second guessing yourself that's when it goes downhill and your opinions change, I think that's what happened here. You rate the money as more important than going back on it? I don't think its about money and I don't think it was as much as he said. I think Noel has a bit to much management bullshit involved. He has been a stellar songwriter and he has earn't the right to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. I just feel from the interviews he's gives they have to much say. Noel is worth tens of millions for fucks sake, he should say my next album is coming out on Xmas day and that's fucking that. The biggest shame to me is that I love 'The Right Stuff', my favorite song on the record and it shows what happens when Noel just stretches himself that little bit and you can hear the AA influence all over it. Frankly he should have left more production over the Mexican because its horrible. It just comes down to whether you believe Noel or not and having to listened to him over the last 20 years he's quite adept at some exaggeration or a convincing story to suit his purpose. I'm thinking of a man who musically has changed very little over the last 20 years. His music is very good but it s always relatively safe and comfortable to him. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but put what he was going to release with AA context of his discography. I shouldn't really be surprised should I...

You make valid points, especially bringing in Dylan. The longer acoustic version of Shelter from the Storm is still one of my favorite songs by him though he went for a more upbeat version for the album. However, let's say Noel does exaggerate, then how does one only apply it to only his stories of AA post scrapping the album? In that case, shouldn't we also assume that he over exaggerated the quality of the AA album from the very beginning? As I said, maybe it wasn't that good. In the sense, that Flick of the Finger, which was up for previous Oasis records might not have been that good until Sitek got his paws on it. I dislike making leaps into the, well this song is my favorite song on the album and it had a chance before so it must have been just as good before realm. There's no way of really knowing how much of AA's production was used on the final track and it seems Noel did say that for his record he dialed it back from the original. So, there had to be some distinct differences between the two. Especially considering Noel and Stacey said that the original they were working from in studio, whether that was the AA version, was 8 minutes. Which would fit Noel's description that some of the tracks weren't focused and only a few were salvageable, so he did those for this album. I just need to find too many jumps in reason. If you say that we shouldn't believe Noel because he exaggerates, then it should be applied to the very point he announced the project to now, not just now. So, as I said, maybe he literally just doesn't like it. Maybe he exaggerated the quality from the beginning and is exaggerating now to cover up his misjudgment. Again, sound like BHN much? I think that's the most simplistic and even explanation rather than applying his sense of exaggeration to only one section of this story in order to prove another.

Noel also said in that recent Minneapolis interview from 2-3 days ago that when he says something he 100% believes in it at that moment and even if he changes his opinion later, at some point there must have been a reason he liked it so much. He wasn't even talking about the AA project but you can apply his ethos to it as well. He fucking loved it in July 2011 and hated it in 2013. Seems extreme. With the songs we know are on that album, I wonder just how bad it can be. Somebody break into Noel's house and steal the lone copy please.

So I know a guy in London I use to go to college with. He works as a sound engineer. He managed to get his hands on this EXCLUSIVE footage of Noel working with the AA guys. Amazing stuff. Noel was right. This is shit.

I reckon they probably were good, really good. But Noel thought he could get more out of the songs on his own on CY, which to be fair, the tunes on this album sound and are brilliant! I'm as annoyed as anyone (trust me) that this album will never see the light of day, but it could have been to his new albums detriment that slightly inferior versions of songs like BOTMI, Mexican, Right Stuff, Dying Of The Light went out on a side project.
Imo, this whole ordeal was because Noel wanted to make HIS second solo album as good as it possibly could be. What doesn't make sense to me however is why the AA collaboration hasn't been released alongside this as a bonus CD. DOYS got a bonus CD of remixes and alternative versions of the album tracks, why couldn't this?
