Review from latest (December 2017) edition of Mojo:
3 stars (out of 5)
Gallagher goes ape with help from DJ / producer David Holmes.
No wonder Noel looked so cosy singing We Got The Power alongside new-ish bosom buddy Damon Albarn on the Graham Norton Show last May; there are no cartoon surrogates here, but WTMB's multi-guest genre-hopping mash-up is very Gorillaz. It's lovely to hear the former Mr Magnolia go Technicolor on these (mostly) psych-pop songs, and co-conspirator David Holmes's determination to up the beats-per-minute and positivity has definitely helped Gallagher shake off some cobwebs. Though some things never change (Messrs Weller and Marr - or Uri Geller and Har Mar Superstar, as Liam calls them - both appear, and Be Careful What You Wish For clearly wants to be Come Together), the Serge Gainsbourg-like instrumental Interlude (Wednesday Part 1) and electro-pop winners It's A Beautiful World and She Taught Me How To Fly are invigorating departures.

Review score is a bit worrying, but I'm glad that Noel's taking inspiration from Serge Gainsbourg. That man invented trip-hop two decades before Portishead. Must be David Holmes rubbing off on Noel, as Let's Get Killed has Histoire de Melody Nelson written all over it.

Sounds great to me. Reads a lot more like a 4/5 than a 3.

As I said with Liam's album, my ears will do the judging.
Though I am surprised by how early the review is. We're still a little over a month away.

The single mention of We Got The Power in this review should send out smoke signals..

Gettin more and more worried with this album cycle. And knowing how shit Noel's management is, looks like the leak is imminent.

I wont buy any album with 9 songs on! Not even Let It Bleed? What on Earth does the number of songs got anything to do with the album's quality?

Why is the review so short? Noel usually gets a full page review in Mojo.

I wont buy any album with 9 songs on! There's only 8 actual full blown songs when you consider 'Interlude', 'End Credits' and 'Fort Knox' are all potentially instrumentals.

It's not looking good men. Probably the best songs are gonna be Dwealt in the summer and Talk take yer down, the most songy ones.

The Gainsbourg reference gives me some hope and intrigues me a bit. Bring on the leak !

Led Zeppelin IV only has 8 songs on it. Decent record. The times that Oasis albums would have been improved by taking a song or two off, it really doesn't bother me.

The more I read and hear the less excited I get for this album...
Hope I'm surprised.
