I'd be very surprised of any shock announcements of a gig or even the single. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the single was released the week of the Leeds/Reading festivals right now to be honest.
Album either September or October

Not in my mind, nothing about DOYS is better to me. Heathen is a far better produced and recorded and more harmonious sessions. Nothing from the DOYS sounds better than anything on Heathen to me. Noel's songs are better Liam's songs are 100xs better Even Andy and Gem's songs are better on Heathen Chemistry than Dig Out Your Soul WHAT?!? Listen to the drums on Hung In A Bad Place, they're as muffled as the drums on Be Here Now are - and that album had songs with 30 layers of trebly electric guitar on it! Fucking shocking. Also, how can you know the sessions for Heathen Chemistry were more harmonious than the ones for Dig Out Your Soul when you weren't present for either? Obviously, neither was I, so I can't prove you wrong, but the fact that Liam couldn't be arsed turning up to do his vocals for "three-and-a-half months" (according to Noel), makes me think they probably weren't that much fun. Indeed, Liam has even called the record "fucking miserable" since, and you know he doesn't criticise records he's been a part of lightly... Alright I will give you that I don't know about how harmonious the recording sessions, it's just how it comes across on the album. DOYS comes across as a band who just couldn't be bothered anymore. The drums sound OK to my ear on Hung In a Bad Place

It's absolutely fine to have in Heathen Chemistry a favourite and like it better than DOYS, but I just can't see how someone claims HC's better produced and a more consistent album. Heathen has better songs. Production and sound quality is better on DOYS but that's about it. Not in my mind, nothing about DOYS is better to me. Heathen is a far better produced and recorded and more harmonious sessions. Nothing from the DOYS sounds better than anything on Heathen to me. Noel's songs are better Liam's songs are 100xs better Even Andy and Gem's songs are better on Heathen Chemistry than Dig Out Your Soul

I just don't feel like the band had anything left to offer and accomplished all that they could. So-so albums and best of tours since 2000. It was fun but more retread than progress. I think Dig Out Your Soul was quite an interesting little shift in sound. Liam had taken to singing in a much more restrained manner which leant itself to a wider variety of songs, from wistful ballads to vaguely psychedelic numbers; and there was some interesting imagery to be found in Noel's lyrics now. You just know though, had they made another one, Noel would've included a load of shite filler on the tracklist, leading to it getting a lukewarm response from critics and fans alike, and enabling them to go out on tour again, playing five songs from the new album and the rest all greatest hits. It probably was right they called it a day when they did. It's just a shame that these eight years that have elapsed since they split haven't yielded better results... Maybe if Noel had continued his writing style from DOYS onto his first solo record, instead of hitting the reset button and churning out Heathen Chemistry-worthy dross like If I Had A Gun, it might've been a bit different. Not having this! If I Had A Gun sounds like a rejected song from Dig Out Your Soul. Your really saying you want more in the vain of Ain't Got Nothin and High Horse Lady? Two of the worst Oasis songs ever devised? Noel wishes he could still write songs like Little By Little, Hindu Times and Stop Crying Your Heart Out. Heathen Chemistry is not a bad album and at least it's a good consistent listen where you can go from the beginning to the end without wanting to skip a track while in the knowledge you're not listening to a band cracking at the seams and not wanting to be in the same room as each other! Give me Heathen Chemistry style albums over the waste of time that was an half album that were Dig Out Your Soul

I'm with you on that but the most important thing to me is he said his voice sounded incredible. To be fair on Liam, there's only a couple of records that Liam has sounded poor on - the whole of Heathen Chemistry (aside from Songbird) and some of Don't Believe The Truth. As for Moyles, he's just such an attention arse - cut from the same cloth as Chris Evans. Nah. ...sounded worse on Dig Out Your Soul than he ever did on Heathen Chemistry

Why don't we create a new playlist using the following rules?
1) It has the same amount of tracks as Stop the Clocks..done in the same two set. 2) It cannot feature any songs that were on Stop The Clocks, The Masterplan or Time Flies
Here is my two playlists: DISC 1 1) Bring It On Down 2) Lord Don't Slow Me Down 3) I Hope, I Think, I Know 4) Hey Now! 5) Carry US All 6) Guess God Thinks Am Abel 7) Gas Panic! 8) Where Did It All Go Wrong? 9) Born On A Different Cloud
DISC 2: 1) Let's All Make Believe 2) Up In the Sky 3) Sad Song 4) Cast No Shadow 5) The Fame 6) (I Got) The Fever 7) The Boy With The Blues 8) Don't Go Away 9) Roll It Over
What is yours?

I'll be honest, after all the false news we have gotten from various sources and the release date of the single constantly being "this weekend" then nothing happening. ..I am not getting my hopes up until it's official

What do you think of this song? I often find it completely forget about this tune unless it comes on shuffle on my ipod. It's a decent little tune I think but it also lacks that something which causes it to be almost forgettable in a way. It doesn't help that it wasn't even the best b-side on the single, let alone during that period when we even had Talk Tonight just before it as a better Noel sung b-side.

Has anybody here done a live collection, similar to the album live stuff that was done ages ago but for Time Flies? Where it's the album but every track is like the best live version of each one?

Live it really buzzes but for me, the recorded version drags and the long drawn out outro is pointless and not needed

Any track over Shakermaker. Step Out and Roll with It were great. I wish they had put more work in rehearsing SMC and WDIAGW live since they play it like they were songs from the 90's. Oh I forgot about Shakermaker...yeh, axe that for I Can See A Liar instead. I never understood why there were so little in the way of songs from Standing... I love the album!

If you could replace just two tracks from the Familiar To Millions setlist with another two tracks from Standing On The shoulder Of Giants. What would they be?
I'd swap Step Out for Where Did It All Go Wrong? Also I'd swap Roll With It with I Can See A Liar. Both are nonsense rockers so it would work

Good album to listen to. However, I find myself getting a little bored by the time Dying Of The Light is half way through and it doesn't pick-up again till The Mexican.
In The Heat Of The Moment Lock All The Doors While The Song Remains The Same (on a good day, sometimes I do get very VERY bored on a playthrough) You Know We Can't Go Back Ballad Of The Mighty I
Them are the only ones I will listen to in the future I feel. The rest just drag in some way or other. Never understood the love on this forum for The Right Stuff. I absolutely detest it!

Never really rated Dream On and, in my opinion, High Flying Birds #1 is the worst produced and worst sounding album either Gallagher has done since the split. Apart from AKA...Broken Arrow, none of the songs I listen to and I can't even remember the last time I even wanted to listen to any songs from that whole period really. 1. BE 2. Chasing Yesterday 3. Different Gear Still Speeding 4. High Flying Birds On a side note: Is this thread going to rival the Be Here Now Reissue thread? DGSS before HFB 1 ? wow Anyways, the problem is that people compare those records to Oasis (me included). But it cant never be like Oasis. There is not that tension, that expectation from the audience that drive an artist to better himself. Usually solo albums are not as iconic as what a band did before (with notable exceptions). We cant really expect Liam or Noel to outdo DM or MG, i mean they're what 50 and grey now ? Good records, good melodies and i'm happy. Times have changed, they have changed, It wont ever be the same and we have to accept that. There's other artists in this world that are in their prime. Noel and Liam are too old to release a classic now, kinda. Honestly, I can listen to DGSS (and I actually often do) all the way through a whole lot more than I ever can with HFB 1. I do agree that people compare the albums to Oasis themselves and, even with the changing dynamic of the band, it's not something really that should happen. I have in the past done that but now I just do it around them albums and that's all. As someone did say earlier (sorry I can't remember who posted it), HFB 1 and DGSS are both really just collections of songs that Oasis never really made. This is why I prefer DGSS to HFB 1. HFB 1 seems almost like the bootleg demo disc you get with an album in a double disc collection. In many ways, the same can be said about DGSS but it feels more final, sounds more like a complete album to me whereas HFB1 just doesn't in any sort of way.

Dream On was the highlight when I saw Noel last year, really really underrated in his catalogue of songs Agreed, Dream On would have been a big hit for Oasis. Underrated song The first record is still his best solo album to me. Strong tunes, the production not as shitty as people make it, well except for Record Machine and Stop the clocks. People seem to have problem with If i had a gun. It's meant to be a single for the masses, i dont mind it, it's not the highlight of the record to me and i skip it, but i dont hate it with a passion. Put Liam on some tracks of this record and it's one of the best Oasis album since the 90s. Good melodies, good production. Sometimes a record needs to be just that. Especially after 20+ year career. Never really rated Dream On and, in my opinion, High Flying Birds #1 is the worst produced and worst sounding album either Gallagher has done since the split. Apart from AKA...Broken Arrow, none of the songs I listen to and I can't even remember the last time I even wanted to listen to any songs from that whole period really. 1. BE 2. Chasing Yesterday 3. Different Gear Still Speeding 4. High Flying Birds On a side note: Is this thread going to rival the Be Here Now Reissue thread?
