Okay, the chorus and bridge are both massive. It's the verses and middle-eight that aren't as strong as they were on Wall of Glass.

Like it... sounds great but don’t you think a bit too angry? One of the appeals of oasis was it was so positive. Hopefully that’s it for the anger on the record. Still a good tune though.

Delighted that the last chorus didn't end with a short stop before "It's coming round like a shockwave.". That'd do my head in ahaha

I Love it. I'm always happy just hearing his voice on a new song.

Yeah, I was expecting something a bit more triumphant and Some-Might-Say-ish after the success of As You Were. This is kinda bitter. Still, it has a banging chorus, so I don't really care.

Ya. Agreed and that’s where he’s best. I mean, most fans don’t feel the way he does. They both gods and hearing ‘you’re a snake...’ doesn’t really resonate. Even though I’m more excited about Liam these days, I still am a fan of IIHAG, HM and most of Noels stuff. I want to hear him sing about winning.

My early rating is a 6 - I’m not loving it - that could change after further listens
I like the Dylan vibes of the verses but I’m not loving the retro feel of the chorus
If only it had more snarl - more pistols

SHOCKWAVE is MEGA.
AT FIRST I was going to bitch about the bridge which is BDI - specifically, Millionaire - and I wasn’t having anything like that, but then it developed further to bliss for which fair play mega .

Liam came back from nowhere to outsell Noel in albums and tickets. Surely it's time to move on.

People do that with Noel's stuff too. Apparently Holy Mountain is literally better than the Oasis classics. Numbers mean different things to people, and everyone's scale is different Holy Mountain (imo) is genuinely up there in the top 10/15 songs Noel has written though. I haven't heard Shockwave studio version yet so can't comment, but I liked the live version. I don't know if Mouth is a troll or not. But he has a point that people do tend to sway more towards 'Liam is amazing' if he puts out a bog-standard track, compared to if Noel puts out a bog-standard track it's 'Noel's a tory twat' etc. Anyway, glad Liam's back. I'm really looking forward to hearing Shockwave in its entirety. Me too... I think I’ve played Holy Mountain 1,000 times and my kids love it. Noel plus Phil Spector. I put it in top 20 oasis/Noel/Liam. Maybe 25 but probably 20.

And I’m up there with the biggest fans of them all

And I’m up there with the biggest fans of them all I'm sorry but I'm still really struggling to believe that there are two people in the world who believe Holy Mountain is in Noel's top 20. Are you familiar with Definitely Maybe at all? It's really quite good.

Put 8. Had to change it to 9. Loving it too much. Would be a 10 if not for the Heys.

Personally, Holy Mountain is probably in my top-20 favourite Noel-penned songs too. I wouldn't rank it there objectively, but it's without doubt one of my all-time favourites from him.
Here's my dissection of Shockwave:
Verse melody - 5/10
Bridge melody - 9/10
Chorus melody - 8/10
Lyrics - 5/10
Production - 8/10
Which averages out at 7/10.

A while back I stopped nitpicking the life out of every piece of media I consumed. When there's glaring flaws that bother me I'll state them but I know I place my enjoyment factor as the primary essence. If I enjoy it, that's all that matters, even with it's flaws. It's why I didn't care for Holy Mountain when it dropped - I was too nitpicky on wanting Noel to do a bunch of ambient work instead of just enjoying what the song brought, now I love it.
Shockwave is a fun catchy tune! Simple and while caters to the lad crowd it gets the job done. 8/10. Liam's solo output has been immense so far.

Bluesy glam rock stomper. With a bridge that is shockingly BDI’s Millionaire - that part even sounds like the DGSS BDI era. But that part aside I love it.

Insanely catchy after just one listen with some interesting, thoughtful verses full of Dylan-like venom to balance out the more commercial chorus. A great Stones feel in the first half.
Best song I've heard in ages.

It's out! Did something I never do and bought an individual song I'd already heard. Lol. Worth it.
