Listened to WBTM vinyl - it sounds better to me but maybe it's just me - yesterday. I still love every tack, maybe Love is the Law it's not aged that well. Anyway, great album.

Finally managed to lay my hands on a pink BSD. It didn't cost me much money but it was really expensive considering I don't even have a record player.

My first thought when listening to Everybody's on the Run was Beady-who?
Everybody's on the Run is one of Noel's best solo songs and a lot of what BDI and Liam have done pale in comparison. Flick of the Finger, Once, I've All I Need, One of Us, and Wall of Glass come close, but EOTR is just awesome.

There is something about the first album that just underwhelms me. The songs are great, but the fact that 2 of them had been heard around 5 years before spoils it for me.
The production just feels so stale to me. I'm so glad he has stopped working with Dave Sardy. He genuinely ruined that album for me.

Me too, it's the only album from any of the guys that after listening all the way through once I felt absolutely nothing. Even BE which I now think is the worst album I own had the novelty of hearing Liam singing new songs.

The first half of the album is very good but ultimately I think the vibrance of Who Built The Moon makes the debut seem stale overall.

The first album with the third's production (as well as getting rid of RM and STC and replacing them with new songs) would have rivalled any Oasis album.

I don't mind actually that the quality is better on the third. I actually like the continued progress and improvement. It's the complete opposite of Oasis. Noel had a lot to live up to after the first two and BHN was considered a step back. As a solo artist, his first two albums were good but he actually stepped it up on the third one.

It is almost the opposite problem at the moment. The production is bordering on world-class, with each song sounding great. The songwriting, however, is sub-standard.

Give Noel more time to get comfortable with the new formula and it'll come together. WBTM? still has some very well-written songs... She Taught Me How to Fly, If Love is the Law, Sail On, The Man Who Built the Moon, This is the Place are among those in the formula. The other songs are well-written too, but they do a good job to highlight Noel's strong composing abilities, which he has always possessed, in the context of David Holmes's production.

Who Build The Moon? is an absolutely phenomenal album. I love it. Great tunes and what I love about it, is that it was all so fresh. The album was written in the studio and it sounds like it.

In my opinion Who Built The Moon is the most complete album Noel has made apart from Definitely Maybe and Be Here Now. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to want to work with other people for too long and he's now trying to achieve the innovation David Holmes provided on his own with mixed results. Much like when he tried to reinvent Oasis after working with The Chemical Brothers and Tailgunner.

I think Noel should start working more independently with that process, with David Holmes in his pocket like how Sardy and Owen Morris have been in the past for Noel. Doing it on his own with a Holmes-like process wouldn't work well.

The Dream On demo outro gives a feeling of Here’s A Candle for Your Birthday Cake.

I like the debut. A lot of songs are too stuffy, but there's still some genuinely great tunes there. The Death of You and Me and What a Life in particular are two of the best things Noel's recorded since 2000.

I adore it and was so so so excited when it was released. What a Life hasn't aged particularly well for me

I saw this on twitter and it made me laugh. Was it a rumour, or Noel's fantasy

The production spoils it somewhat, but it's the one I've listened to the most.
