Have to agree with a lot of these things, Noel's the best song writer- he should have done all the songs. However I must admit Second Bite of the Apples chorus I absolute love. I think it must be the way Liam says "come on" it's always turned me on musically lol.. Production may mean a lot but it's the quality of the songs that count really, and the songwriters in Beady eye just didn't have Noel's craft.. Having said that I also think Noel got lazy at the end of Oasis- I mean the best songs on Dig out your Soul were his IMO but get off your high horse lady? I mean who said this was good!!! HHL is one of the songs that Noel replaced the original tracklistings for ( think RM in this instance, actually) due to Liam fucking off to get married. In all fairness, it works brilliantly within in the context of the album. DOYS is let down by just AGN, TNOR, and SO....all of which LAG are responsible. I think that's another example of Noel and his penchant for telling porkies. He wrote the song in 2005 for christ sake, no way did Liam's vocal HAVE to be laid down on that one day or it wouldn't go on DOYS at all. I reckon, and this is just my hunch, but I reckon him saying HHL was just something he knocked out to fill Record Machine's place, was just his excuse for having written a shit song, a little like that time when he said he wrote Be Here Now in a month in some house or something, even though 4 of the 11 songs on there were already written...

The amount of people actually believing everything Noel puts out of his mouth is frightening.

So you don't believe him that there's an 8 min guitar solo laden Liam sung version knocking about? Noel wasn't saving songs for a solo career that he wasn't even planning until after the fucking split. ffs.

If you told me that about Come on its alright I would believe you(that liam beinh mia was the cause of it not veing on DOYS) but STC and RM? They had months to record them and they could have done the intrumental and Liam would record the vocals the next week, its the time of protools ffs.

Let's play a little game.
He'll get a 6.8 - 7.5 from Pitchfrok
And a 9/10 from the NME. Waiting for the review, they said "mid-february"
But I really can't wait to watch theneedledrop's (AKA Anthony Fantano) review. I will laugh so hard.

Why do everyone keep on repeating the Mexican sounds like Queens of the Stone Age, was it in the press release or something ?
It sounds like One direction doing a Queens of The Stone Age song.

Weird review that. Lock All The Doors didn't have a saxophone solo last time I checked, and their description of The Girl With X-Ray Eyes as the kind of ballad he can write in his sleep is way off.

Reads to me like its an 8/10, tbh not bothered with NME since they started giving Arctic Monkeys 10/10 for everything they do.

Ah the ol' NME. They spend their time kissing Noel's ass all the live long day but then fail to even review his album properly. Journalism at it's best.

NME's really excelling itself lately. An interview that read like somebody's unedited Microsoft Word transcribe, a track-by-track which put Noel on a train to Norway, and now saxophones on Lock All The Doors which, even though I haven't heard the final version yet, I can still quite safely bet is total bollocks.

Judging by reviews of the album, it doesn't fit in with narrow uninspired three chord British pub rock that NME love.
If music doesn't sound like horrific rubbish like Brother, The Enemy or Catfish & the Bottlemen, it's not worth listening to.

The last band worth of listening that was hailed by NME was arctic monkeys and it has been almost a decade after that and nothing else has deserved that kind of hype.

Agreed. And in that sense Gem and Andy coming in didn't help because they're Beatles fanatics too. Amazingly, Noel was the first to get bored. i think the beatles/60's influence worked well on Don't Believe The Truth. I know alot of you don't agree but for me that album was a breath of fresh in Oasis' career. Granted no every song is a winner but i love the feel of that album Agreed, but to me it was a winner because it drew on a wider range of influences (even though most of them were from the same era) like The Kinks, Dylan etc, even The Stranglers.

They desperately want to be seen as hip and cool. I never trust NME reviews - it gave the new U2 album 4/10 when it is a solid 8 and most would agree. But that's the NME for you - they jump on any passing bandwagon, A real joke of a paper. They can't cover music these days anyway as Live4Ever music zine can testify, as the NME steals it's 'sources' by simply reading the news from Live4Ever. No joke. I'm sure webm@ster can testify this.

Well that's weird. Would expect a bit higher since they constantly tweet about Noel.
Oh well, told you they were a bunch of retards.

The NME are right up their own arses. They gave WTSMG 7/10 when it came out... and then in 5 years time to sell magazines they'll put it at the top of a stupid poll of the best albums ever... idiots.
