Speaking of Sardy, I missed reading this question during the AMA:  And here is Noel's response...    |

To be fair it really sounds like Noel is mostly just fond of the guy and what he did back then ("at the time, invaluable") - not like he thinks of him as an amazing producer in general.

Half of Chasing Yesterday is made up of just incredible Noel tunes:
Ballad of the Mighty I
The Right Stuff
While the Song Remains the Same
You Know We Can't Go Back
Riverman
Then you've got The Girl with the X Ray Eyes, which is decent on the album but the stripped back demo is much more superior
Then you've got two songs that, even though I like them, show Noel at his most auto-pilot: Dying of the Light, Lock All the Doors.
In the Heat of the Moment is certainly decent but I think it would have sounded a lot better with some BRMC like fuzz guitar for that main chord riff and losing those 'na na na's.
The Mexican is a song I really want to like and wanted to like since we got the tracklisting...but it's just not that great, is it? Great live I hear but I've yet to hear it at a gig so I can't truly say.
...just my thoughts of CY since its been nearly a year!

Why does he say stuff like he would never have been able to get his solo career off the ground without him?
I fail to see how Noel would have done worse with anyone else in the world.
Songs have literally had the adverse affect as a result of the man. That is sabotage. Not production.
Someone on this forum please tell me you would be presented with the Record Machine demo and remove that bass line like that. Please anyone tell me you would do that.

I listened to Chasing Yedterday for the first time since at least 2 months.
My impressions haven't changed. For me, it is still the best Gallagher related released since BHN. There is only 2 tracks that bothers me a little bit on there : The Mexican and In The Heat of The Moment. The both are not totally bad but these are the tunes with the "biggest defaults" on the album, imo.
I still think that Ballad of The Mighty I is overrated on here but I begin to really appreciate it.
The Girl With X-Ray Eyes is a good tune but lacks of something, in my opinion. I prefer the demo version on the Dying of The Light singles.
Then, there is two songs who can be considered as "Noel by numbers": The Dying of The Light and Lock All The Doors. But I don't mind because these two tunes are really good. Sure, LATD has some defaults to it (Drums, sound of guitars, etc) but the melody is very good. It reminds of the very early days.
You Know We Can't Go Back is pure BHN melodically. Reminds a lot of I Hope, I Think, I Know in more melancholic. I love that tune
The three other tunes show a new side in the Noel songwriting. While The Song Remains The Same is the little sister of Alone On The Rope. These tunes show a Noel more mature, in his lyrics, in his arrangements.
Riverman and The Right Stuff betray Noel's new taste for the jazzy influences and a big Santana influence on the first one.
And because a top is shorter than big explanations :
While The Song Remains The Same
You Know We Can't Go Back
The Right Stuff
The Dying of The Light
Lock All The Doors
Riverman
Ballad of The Mighty I
The Girl With X-Ray Eyes
In The Heat of The Moment
The Mexican

I wonder what the one really weird lyric on the next record will be? I hope it's not about lemonade or crack

Just bought NGHFB 1 on Vinyl even though I have it on CD.
It better be a different mastering for vinyl...

Ballad of the Mighty I is way better since listening to it nearly a year ago. No it isn't. |

I remember, many months ago, seeing a thread claiming that Freaky Teeth was about Liam. Of course, at the time I dismissed it as either satire or yet another instance of narrow-minded thinking among Oasis fans.
But now, it came up on my phone on shuffle! And as soon as I heard the lyric "yeah they used to love you for the way you sang your soul", I was instantly converted to the cause.

Would you guys be cool with Noel letting someone else sing lead vocals on one or two tracks for LP3? It doesn't necessarily have to be a 'big name' per se, but someone more like Joy Rose or David Holmes. Personally I think it'd be great if done right.

I imagine how amazing would be Kelly Jones singing with him. |

Why doesn't he announce a gig in Italy?

Some person who thinks they're funny will probably suggest Liam. Edit: oh, someone already did. |

In speaking of Liam, I still think he'll be featured on a track from the Roses new album (yes I think it's happening this year)

Speaking of compression, I thought they said CY had better production?   Sure the mix is better but this brickwall mastering technique is ridiculous. It's 2016 and that loudness war sound is just dated. It's okay using a limiter as long as you don't destroy the audio and still keep a considerate dynamic range! This just ruins the quality of the original mix when get a slab of sound. |

Noel isn't the best singer in the world, and some songs just suit different singers better. I'd love to hear: - Romy Madley Croft - Jonsi - Ashcroft Also, Jack Steadman and Chet Faker could work if he's carrying on with some moody, saxually provocative music  |

I like Noel's songs best with his voice. A few songs, such as the David Holmes version of X-Ray Eyes would be okay, but otherwise for me personally, I'd say no.
If I want to hear other people sing, I'll just listen to their own albums.
Noel writing songs for other people to sing is a completely different story though. But those songs would be on the album of that artist. On a Noel Gallagher album, I want songs mainly sung by Noel Gallagher.

Lord Don't Slow Me Down, Shout It Out Loud, and A Simple Game of Genius really should be live staples. LTLSALOM is also terrific live.

Great live I hear but I've yet to hear it at a gig so I can't truly say. ...just my thoughts of CY since its been nearly a year! When you think about it........more than half of the Chasing Yesterday era is made up from many songs from yesteryear. - Lock All The Doors (Pre-DM sessions)
- Revolution Song (SOTSOG sessions)
- Freaky Teeth (HFB sessions
- Do The Damage (HFB sessions)
- The Dying of The Light(HFB sessions)
- Ballad of The Mighty I (AA sessions)
- The Right Stuff (AA sessions)
- The Mexican (AA sessions)So that means Noel potentially only had Riverman, In The Heat of The Moment, X-Ray Eyes, While The Song Remains The Same and You Know We Can't Go Back as fresh material. I've got a sneaking suspicion that "You Know We Can't Go Back" could be The Magic Can't Be Right. |
