Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

This long awaited album from (imo) the man who made Oasis, raised the bar of expectation for what this album would be like. It has all of the elements of classic Oasis albums, along with sounds similar to the later 'Don't Believe The Truth era'. What makes the album that much better is that the crisp sound of Noel's voice isn't interwoven with, frankly, the whiny drawn out voice of Liam. Making this the Oasis album I have long wished for. Every track is great to listen to and sounds different. I want to compare it to The Beatles' Sgt Pepper album, in that each track carries different feels to it...from the circusy sound of 'Death of You and Me' to the more traditionally sound you associate with Oasis. I suppose this essay is designed to basically tell you that if you love or like Oasis, and love or like the idea of no Liam on the album, then this album will be thoroughly enjoyed. Welcome back Noel, the world of people who appreciate good singer/songwriters have missed you.

i would recomend this album to anyone, noel for me has always had a miles beeter voice than liam and it shows on this almost perfect album .theres no cheese here just easy on the ears blissfull guitar edged tracks,i think oasis splitting up has brought out the best in both brothers beady eyes album is good but you can defo tell who had the brains in oasis ,ladeback ,classy and worth everypenny,,buy it right now it just mite save ur life,,noel g is a legend and should be heard by everyone,,,quality ,,

Stop reading this and click buy now, Album of the year

Oasis are my favourite band of all time and i was expecting much more than this.Every song just sounds as if it's missing something, i don't know what though. this is not a rock album and will be forgotten, the songs are just nice, thats all i can say about them, nothing stands out really, the first song is the best, but if im honest, this album sounds like a collection of unused B-sides from post 2000 Oasis

It's been over a year since I bought this album. As a big Oasis fan, I had no doubts about buying it and was eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Noel Gallagher's long and successful career. Around the time this album was released, I was going through a pretty bad spell in my life and listening to Noel's soothing voice and hypnotizing guitar playing pulled my through it! No doubt! This album is the best music Noel has written since Morning Glory back in 1995. 'If I Had a Gun' is in the same league as Wonderwall or Live Forever... and I know this is great music because the people I work with, (who actively dislike Oasis and the Gallaghers in general), can often by heard singing along to 'Dream On', 'What a Life' and 'The Death of You and Me' over the radio. It's then I remind them of the genius who wrote these tracks. High Flying Birds is one of the greatest works of music I have ever had the privelage of listening to. Buy it and find out why...
