WILL there be a new album? (Read 8,780 times)

[coconutstall]

Seems a lot of conjecture around it after Liam's tweets, he did tease the reunion after all - Will the new tour be accompanied by a new album?

[gazd1980]

I'd love one, but i just can't see it.

I think Liam 100% would be up for it, but i think after these shows are done, Noel will slip back into NGHFB and carry on with that after a break. Also, if there's a new album, they would have to tour it, and i just can't see it happening.

I hope i'm wrong though.

[chamu]

YES

[GlastoEls]

I firmly believe that Liam is doing his “telling us in plain sight” thing again, so I’m a yes.

And also that Oasis always went into the studio in good times or bad, and there’s plenty of time yet before the shows.

Precisely.

[theyknowwhatimean]

The guy who told me back in spring about the reunion is pretty sure there’ll be a new album.

[mossy]

Why write a “stadium rock” album, reform stadium rock band Oasis, sell out a world stadium tour… then not record the stadium rock album?

Of course there’ll be another album.

Maybe they’ll save it until after this first tour to justify the next tour though. It’s got to be planned around the MG reissue too. They’ve really got to move fast if they’re to record it and get it out before the tour and the MG promo cycle.

Noel does seem to be a quick worker, though. And Liam still seems to be of the mindset that the quicker he gets his vocals recorded the quicker he can be down the pub.

Obviously, the thing that holds Noel up is the endless holidaying in sunnier climes -- typical Manc who's come into money! But once he sets his mind to work he seems to be pretty focused, always getting whatever he's doing done and out within a year or so. 

You could never call him a perfectionist, could you? Anyone who follows up a mega hit like (What's the Story) Morning Glory? with such an ill-conceived, sloppily recorded and dreadfully mixed mess as Be Here Now (though I do love it!) is emphatically NOT a perfectionist. Admittedly, his vision was clouded at that time by his drinking and drug use; but as he said in the Council Skies promo cycle, every album he's made has been fundamentally flawed in some way -- usually sonically or because of the track sequencing. I think he just gets to the point where he doesn't want to think about it anymore, and signs off on it, whatever state of completion it's in. "Fuck it. That'll do." 

Except for the AA album, Noel has never backed out of a project once he's set his mind to it. Where some songwriters would suffer creative paralysis from having to write a comeback album with so much attention on them, I think an older, clean Noel would approach the challenge with much of the blithe indifference that the younger, drugged up and drunk Noel approached making Be Here Now. That might not sound encouraging for the quality of a potential eighth Oasis album, but at least it should ensure that something comes out.

True perfection has to be imperfect.

[drselker]

There's not much sense in arranging the reunion and waiting more than a year for the gigs if you're not going to do something else, I think. Since the photoshoot happened around July and the deal must've been in the works for at least 2-3 months before, it's a lot of time for tour preparations. It's not like the songs are hard to rehearse or Noel and Liam haven't been playing them. Oasis 8th is definitely coming

[Beady’s Here Now]

Yes.

Noel basically said as much, and Liam confirmed on multiple occasions. Obviously we’re getting new music.

And I should say I also think that, as well as being a quick worker, Noel does have some real artistic integrity. 

Yes, he's musically conservative and generally risk-averse, but I never bought into the argument that this reunion is just a cash grab, Stone Roses style. Call it wishful thinking, but I think Noel's an artist with more about him than that. We may bemoan the gaps between albums (which are fairly commonplace among musical acts now anyway), but I believe Noel when he says he's writing all the time. He's been a consistent recording artist for 30 years now. I don't believe he'd be willing to take years out of his recording career to reunite his old band for a pay day he doesn't really need. I think he has his creative reasons for reviving Oasis as well as personal and financial ones.

My source said the reunion was agreed around April time.

[Beady’s Here Now]

We now have two threads about the Oasis 8th album, though.

There’s a chance here for Noel to really seal Oasis’s legacy. The later Oasis albums were sub-par, unloved by critics and Noel knows it. If he can come up with the goods for one last critically acclaimed and fan loved album, it will really help cement their place in rock history.

Even if they record it quickly, he’s had a long time to stockpile and work on the songs.

Praying for no Easy Nows 🙏 🙏 🙏

I so hope this turns out to be true. Noel's writing and Liam's voice have had plenty of time to mature since the '00s era and I have a feeling Noel has been setting aside some songs "for a rainy day" as they suit Liam's vocal style more than his.

I do love Easy Now. But, I agree, it's been done. I would hope any new LP has no blatant rehashes of previous material. Give us ballads by all means, but outside of the "Oasis-by-numbers" realm

[alexfaulkner]

Would be a bit out of order for Liam to say there's a new album in the can if there isn't, so I presume it's true. Noel must have a back catalogue of songs suitable for Oasis that didn't make the cut at the time.

Can we please put the rumored 6 new songs to bed. The source isn’t reliable, and I think it’s getting muddled with the 6 songs Noel had for the acoustic album.

That said, of course he we are getting a new album, and it’s probably mostly - if not completely - written by now.

Quick worker? Are we talking about the same Noel? He can't tie his shoes in less than an hour.

[shannee]

Yes but I think only a single or EP for this tour and the full album after. I was watching the DOYS doc the other day and I hope they go nuts again. Bring all 100 guitars and the gong into the studio 😂

[noeru]

i wouldn't even mind an EP tbh. small starts or whatever, see if noel can still pull off a loud one

[Manualex]

I feel like that hasitleaked tweet is just the info from the acoustic album and a hopeful dream. Shock me once again.

[thegear]

The other angle to come at here is content.

- Noel would conceivably have material appropriate for oasis ready to go

- With the tour booked the next strategic way for him to have a successful album, compared to sales of recent NGHFB ones, is to release an Oasis one

- With the increased interest in the group, they can almost guarantee better sales - in the context of steaming- than the last two oasis albums

- milk the vinyl market (see Macca)

- meanwhile in the Spotify world, Noel knows new oasis material means enhanced listening to the oasis catalogue
