The 'makes me sweat' lyric instantly sent me off to youtube to listen to this classic 😰😰😰 He said INXS was an influence on it, so this is probably where he actually lifted the lyric from... x |

The question is what should we compare it with? We could compare it with classic Oasis anthems like Some Might Say, Supersonic, Live Forever. If so then it's shite. We could compare it with Noel's previous solo stuff, like Death Of You And Me, Riverman, What A Life. If so then it's shite. We could compare it to other artists that have tried to "branch out", let's take Radiohead, like Knives Out, There There, Burn The Witch. If so then it's shite. exactly  |

It’s just a bland song in my opinion. And whether people like it or not, many loved his last album, thinking it far superior to anything he’s done in his solo career (I like it lightyears better than anything he’s done in the last 20 years), the live shows were great and it was critically received very well. So I don’t know why people are getting so hysterical over Noel of late. The problem with this song is it’s got more in common with the blandness of his first two solo albums - turgid indie rock dressed up as something different. His problem isn’t that he’s ‘a different songwriter’ from those days, it’s that he’s not different enough and he’s still not taking big enough risks judging on this song. |

What’s the quality for the digital download single or preorder? Is there a FLAC option? The file that comes with the vinyl is a 320 kbps mp3. I'll wait until release and then buy the whole thing lossless on Qobuz or 7digital. It's available at 24/96 and 16/44.1 from Qobuz in the US and UK, and at 16/44.1 on 7digital UK. |

I agree, sounds like something he would have made in 2015 to be a bit different, without Holmes there to really push him and give his tunes a noisy energy. Holy Mountain still the best lead single since Go Let it Out. |

Listened to it a few more times since yesterday. Sonically it's very interesting, I love the Nile Rodgers-y guitar in the second verse and the interplay between the two vocalists.
This actually sounds different for Noel. I feel like he chatted a lot of shit when WBTM came out about how out there and experimental it was, when really apart from a couple of tracks it was standard Noely G.

I get what he's trying to do and I'm glad he's trying something different.
Rating BSD is relative depending on what you're comparing it to.
If you're hoping for another TMWBTM or DITW it's a 1.
If you're hoping for something different and new it's a 5. Good attempt but it didn't quite take off for me. It had a load of potential though.

Holy Mountain still the best lead single since Go Let it Out. I do think it misses 'something' after the solo that would really push it up another level. As it is though I think it's a really decent song and the first half of it is excellent. The verses and refrains and guitar work are all spot on imo. |

I feel like he chatted a lot of shit when WBTM came out about how out there and experimental it was, when really apart from a couple of tracks it was standard Noely G. The main thing that was different about WBTM was his approach. The songs - Fort Knox apart maybe - weren't that far out there. This one isn't far out either, like. It's just different to what he's done before. Can't get the CY comparisons at all. |

Líam's the one who should be doing what Noël's doing: pushing himself outside of the box, he has the best instrument, a unique voice, and he's wasting it on absolute shit like 'For What Cats Are Worth'..... Thanks. |

For me it’s a 4..I think it’s a bit tuneless ie not enough melody and certainly not living up to or at least referencing the influencers he cited..underwhelmed Weirdly enough I think it's as melodic as anything off WBTM, bar DITW. It's a nice change in direction for me. It's a decent song with some very good bits. So a 7 is probably fair for me. But yeh, opinions. See for me a decent song with a few good bits gets a 5. |

Thanks. this song would be great with puppies in it though.. and i agree, as soon as the melody isnt there noels songs wont do anything to me anymore. imagine a timeline where these two were in a band. lets call it 'paradise' or 'water in the desert'. that would be something. Danke. |

I have to say, it is growing on me. The bass and melody is quite addictive. I could imagine Romy Madley Croft singing on it.
