Im a Metal, grunge, punk, hard rock dude and even i appreciate this album. Its brilliant. I hear Bowie, Depeche Mode, Beatles, whats not to like
Astounded by your review 🤣 by the looks of it most people agree with what I feel. Absolute masterpiece of an album, amazing songwriting
Writing this almost a year on, and yeah it’s a brilliant album
Don’t get Spencer and Daniel’s dislike for it
Wondering whether that was just a knee jerk reaction then, and if hearing it since whether they’ve changed their mind?
It’s a grower, but was pretty good to start with. It’s Noel. The songwriting genius
This album is a masterpiece and the deluxe version has several more songs including the cover of Mind Games. The reviews are giving universal praise.
Love his Mind games cover
This album is far from a masterpiece. “The Dark Side Of The Moon” is a masterpiece. This album is bland and boring.
@@JC.67 🫱yes
@@JC.67 reddit music taste
Why does a little bit of experimentation confuse the hell out of you guys? TBF to Noel this album is a masterpiece and Dead to the World is a thing of beauty. In the nicest possible way, you guys need to broaden your musical horizons a little
My thoughts exactly. Something that doesn’t contain a Les Paul through a Marshall stack and they Shit themselves. The whole point of the video is a review and opinion so we mustn’t forget that but the reference points were so cringe worthy it was embarrassing.
Exactly. The way people talk about Noel’s stuff you would think he’s making surrealist mime or something, when in reality he’s just making brilliant songs which don’t sound exactly like Oasis. Shock horror!
Spot on. And I also don't get the fact they mention there are no earworms. There's plenty.
They sure do talk some crap, dan is sat there like someone is farting into his nostrils and spencer is sat there following on like a sheep as usual
This is Noel's best solo stuff. I prefer liams more rock and roll stuff but this is a good album.
18:47 Dead to the World is one of the greatest songs Noel has ever written. The strings still gives me goosebumps.
Its a brilliant album that grows on you more with each listen. Think of a Number i can't stop listening to.
Was pretty immediate for me, but remains pretty great.
Exactly. This 2 blokes think Noel is still 2023 Oasis. Noel has literally given countless interviews saying that he isn't trying to make his solo records sound like Oasisy, yet this 2 lads are literally still trying to rate Council Skies as an Oasis album.
This is the best Noel solo album. Back to his roots. You guys are definitely deaf 😕
Council Skies is my song of the year, i haven't stopped listening to it. This album is amazing and we all need to appreciate Noel is here in our times as an amazing legendary song writer
These guys are deaf
I'm with you bro, Council Skies is brilliant
I think it's a fantastic album but you guys are off the wall with some of your opinions on Noel Gallaghers music i mean guys oasis broke up 14 year's ago you have to move forward how boring would Noel's Solo work be if it still sounded like stadium rock All the time artists have to branch out and do different things
Oooohhh! Ohhh no. I just got to the dead to the world review. This one broke my heart guys. This song is a masterpiece ! A masterpiece and you guys did it dirty!
I think they were drunk or something 🤦🏻♂️
I love this album because it adds a fresh vibe sound to my beloved Oasis/Noel Gallagher playlist. It feels good to see the artist experimeting a little bit with some different sounds and instruments besides their main preferences.
My fav solo Noel album outside of his first solo record. My brain is just not wired like these guys, it's "wild".
I don't get why some people don't like hearing artists explore different sounds. I love the fact when I listen to a new NG album im gonna get some of those Oasis' sounding tunes with an array of different sounding tunes. I love this record because I'm hearing Noel experiment. Takes you on a journey and broadens you're expectations of an artist. I don't want rock and roll every tune on every album
Exactly. This 2 blokes think Noel is still 2023 Oasis. Noel has literally given countless interviews saying that he isn't trying to make his solo records sound like Oasisy, yet this 2 lads are literally still trying to rate Council Skies as an Oasis album.
The reference to Who Built the Moon ‘circus music’ and Daniel saying it should’ve come after something more straightforward as such, when listening to ‘I’m Not Giving Up Tonight’ - WBTMoon was Noel’s 3rd solo album
The first two had a familiar to Oasis sound while still also breaking into different directions
There's more melody in this album than you can imagine. You listening to the same album as everyone else?
come on think of a number is outstanding. enough is enough.
I’ll never understand those that compare Liam and Noel to each other like they are 2 different things and if you’re a real music fan you can appreciate both. Liam couldn’t pick up an acoustic and write dead to the world
I agree & Liam is selling out stadiums ect....but the general consensus....at festivals anyway...is were getting half of Oasis! Noel is a good song writer & does appreciate other artists...so much! His collaborations are brilliant...some surprising...true musician 💜🏴🌻
I kniw these twats ain't got a clue
@@purplebongo27 agreed
Give it a listen again, I guarantee you'll prefer it after a second listen! And please remember he's publicly stated he likes to write music that splits his fanbase, so on the basis of your feedback, he's succeeded! 😄
Brilliant album from the chief
Have to agree to disagree on this one chaps, this is a fantastic piece of work. As the man said himself.. "I'm defending my right to make music that's not f**king indie rock..."
Dead to the world is Beautiful!
It’s boring
This is The Chief's best solo album. It really is. He's doing something different.
Liam has hired essentially an Oasis cover band to try to replicate what they did back then whereas Noel is moving forward and evolving.
Personally i think its a fantastic album
WTFFF COUNCIL SKIES IS A FUCKIN GREAT SONG, i dont know why everyone says that is shite when is a fuckin banger.
You guys are wrong on this one, I normally enjoy your videos but damn, came in straight away with a negative tone and looking to please the young Liam fanboys
I'm loving this album. Fantastic songwriting and those gorgeous string arrangements.
You guys' reactions seems a bit confused. When listening to "Pretty Boy", you criticised Noel for trying too hard to be trendy and modern sounding. But then when talking about "Easy Now", you criticised him for sounding too much like the Beatles and Oasis. Saying that he's unaware of how music had moved on and that he only listens to his own music (which is complete horseshit btw).
So which is it? At least be consistent with your criticism. No hate btw guys, I generally enjoy your videos but this one has left me sort of confused.
My thoughts exactly. Good lads and some good vids but my word they need to broaden their horizons beyond the ‘Sun shiiiine’ era. As for the comparisons to Disney music and ‘whale music’?! Jesus 😊
@@Richh-dt8yz Great to hear I wasn't the only one thinking this. If they're expecting an out and out "Sunshiiine" Rock 'n' Roll album, then they'd be better off sticking to Liam's stuff. Daniel in particular seemed to hate every track and contradict himself constantly. Very strange comparisons like you mentioned. Songs don't have to have overdriven guitar to be good.
@@RobertHutchinson398 Nothing wrong with having an opinion. I don’t want to turn this into an I’m right, they’re wrong but there’s a lot of comments of theirs that just come across as pretty ill informed and some of the comparisons to other musical styles and instrumentation, yikes. I’ve got a 16 year old daughter that has a broader pallet than these 2 🤣
@@Richh-dt8yz Oh absolutely. The great thing about music is that it's subjective. But the reasons the guys were giving for disliking the songs seemed a bit strange.
But fair play to them for giving their honest opinions on it.
Bang on Robert…100%
what that easy is to criticize dudes.. why dont u try write songs instead of laugh on one of the most talented songwriters of all times? cmon guys, sure u can do better than that
Got my Council Skies album yesterday outstanding double cd
Thank you for supporting the artist. Cheers for you.
If the Masterplan was on this album it would still have been shit in your opinion!
Wow im stunned how off kilter your opinions were on this one :O taste is subjective for sure but man this album is the best thing he released since the oasis days its a freakin' masterpiece!
4:36 well Holy Mountain came 8 years after he left Oasis. If you actually listen to the first two albums, especially first album, its incredible was Noel wrote and sang. The 2011 self-titled HFB album is one of my favorite records of all time. AKA Broken, Wanna Live In a Dream In My Record Machine, A Simple Game of Genius, If I Had A Gun, AKA Broken Arrow just encapsulates how great Noel was and is.
The B- side to his first single The Good Rebel is a fucking brilliant song. Sail On, I'd Pick You Everytime etc. Amazing. As is his cover of The Mighty Quinn
@Young Towser I wish they included the cover of Mighty Quinn instead You Aint Going Anywhere. I just think Noel gets unnecessary hate for no reason at all
@@tashrif46 it’s invariably Oasis fans stuck in the past who can’t accept it’s no longer 1996!
Holy Mountain is a brilliant tune to be fair
@@Richh-dt8yz I m a mega mad fer it, but I m glad they each did different things, experimentations and collabs since.
Last Oasis album were already something different. Oasis Mk2 was quite a different thing from Oasis.
All in all I miss a bit that chemistry that was Oasis.
Oasis was magic.
But that couldnt last forever.
So could we appreciate all that they produce since.
Banger album.
Amazing album and the best of his solo releases IMO. I've been an old school Oasis fan from the mid-90s and I have no trouble with Noel following his muse and making great music that doesn't sound like Oasis. One thing you guys miss is that sometimes you need to sit with an album through several spins before you pick up on what an artist is putting down. A great album sometimes requires some time to bore itself into your brain. There are earworms throughout, you just need to let the worms wiggle in with a few more listenings. Took me about 5 listens before I fell in love with the album and its beauty finally revealed itself to me. Pretty Boy is the only track that doesn't quite reach the heights the other tracks do. With that said, I've watched many of your previous Oasis videos and enjoyed the journey you guys took. You're just 180 degrees wrong on this one.
I was just thinking that! At least five listens....& that's for a fan! I wasn't a massive Oasis fan but loved alot of their music , I am a massive music fan & have been all my life, I'm loving this album...bit at a time...tune at a time....💜🏴🌻
Spot on
I think they were 360 degrees wrong. We have to respect different opinions, but it was definitely a disappointed video.
All for opinions and music opinions are subjective but i think you've put the record on expecting to hear an oasis record.
You mention that you were getting no earworms. A lot of the songs are very catchy on first listen. It seems that unless theres a big guitar riff you are struggling. Dead To The World is an epic. Im not exactly sure what he needed to do to please you guys and you seem to contradict yourselves by saying he tries too hard to be edgy or is stuck with the Beatles influence. the album has so many memorable moments with first class production and vocals. But like i say opinions are subjective. The album btw has had great reviews.
That arias guy looks like he didn't want to do it while the Spencer dude was liking it but couldn't say. Ironic how the guy talked 'bout Noel being surrounded by "yes men" while the guy on his side is his yes man. Poor Spencer has no voice over arias
Completely agree 😎👌
Spot on
Heard it Saturday. Love it.
Hey guys I thought that you would like the album. Don't stick too much to the lyrics. You know that for Noel it's more important the sound of the words than the meaning.
Personally I love the last 3 tracks for the strange chords progressions and the atmosphere.
Same! I loved it
This was a waste of time. I have no respect for this Arias and the Nation guy and his taste in music. These are top-notch songs, well written, with great musicianship and production. Noel has made it clear he's not going to go back to writing "Oasis-y" type songs again and you'd think he would know that. Stick to Liam's cheap Oasis knock-off songs then. By the way, I like both of the Gallaghers, so this isn't a personal thing for me, but Noel was always the driving force behind that band.
You guys should just say you want to hear a hard Oasis sounding rock album everytime... Also this album is full of metaphors, the lyrics don't always translate literally.
If you didnt like the album, why shit on it? Why not keep it to yourselves? You guys always say this is the house that oasis built, yet you openly criticise noel's new album. This channel wouldnt be what it is without the hard work and effort that noel put into his music. Anyone can sit and listen to music, yet it takes a real artist to write and create. I dont want to sound like a hurt little fan boy, but it was really unpleasant sitting here watching this video and it wasnt because of the music. Its not a good look. Why risk offending the people who support your channel? I have been here since the early days, but if this is what the future holds for this channel i wont be watching any more.
Oh and before i forget, it is completely fine that you guys dont like the album and i understand that it might not be to your tastes. It is that you are profiting from someone else's hard work whilst effectively hating on it if that makes sense. This video wouldnt exist if noel didnt spend 1-2 years of his life making this record, only for you guys to crap on it in an hour and a half. It is very disappointing to me that you guys have handled it in this way. I am not one to criticise someones hard work publicly. I have my own thoughts and feeling on a variety of things/issues, but i dont enjoy hating on peoples hard work.
Perfectly put - opinions are fine and this is two guys opinions but some of the reference points used were so cringeworthy it was embarrassing. Similar to you, I’ve enjoyed a lot of their vids but this one was just way off the mark, particularly in tone.
Love your channel guys but I can't agree with you on this one. It's a great album, much more nuanced than anything Liam's ever done (and I like his stuff as well)
Agreed
Also, the only song meant to be about Manchester was Council Skies, not the whole album. (a council estate is basically a low income housing complex)
Great great album
Fantastic album imo
You guys gonna watch ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’? It’s a great, really funny tour documentary.
It's not a bad album, certainly better than anything Liam could dream of.
All hes dreaming of?
I love the new album. You'll never convince the crowd that wants Noel to keep writing songs like a 27 year old but oh well.
It’s not whale noises, it’s double decker buses braking.
I think you should give it another chance. You can't expect him to write songs in the same style as he did 30 years ago. As you said Liam is a rock singer and Noel is more of a balladeer. The more I've listened to it, the more I like it.
Americans just don’t get or understand British music or culture it’s no their fault
It’s ok to not like it, but you guys sound like immature jerks who completely missed the point of the album. Noel wrote all of it during lockdown, and I’m sure whatever led to his recent divorce was probably going on during that time too. Put that together along with him being quoted as saying this is a reflective album that looks back at his Manchester roots it really does explain the context of these songs. And when was the last time you heard anyone pay homage to the La’s in any song? But Instead of praising it you guys mocked it. A lot of people are now going to discover the La’s music because of Noel’s lyrics. That’s a good thing. I also think It’s ridiculous to trash the album because it doesn’t have enough guitar solos. C’mon guys, grow up.
Perfectly put! 😎👍👌
"We're gonna get there in the end" is a bonus track but it works as the last song of this album.
Dead to the world would make a perfect Bond song. It’s an amazing song!
I think it's a terrific album. 8.5/10
Another brilliant album by the chief to listen to but I’d never go see it on tour if that makes sense? He’s actually headlining a festival I’m going to in August over here in the UK so will see how it performs live. Trying to find a world and Easy Now are a masterpiece 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I agree... Watching noel perform is like watching paint dry but I enjoy the songs.. I didn't love the album but I'll buy the LP just to have the whole collection of albums. Liam just looks cool enough to entertain live and gives it his all.
I agree. I have the vinyl and deluxe cd’s on their way, but just had a look at the concert from this week and it doesn’t seem very exciting…
Great album. I really watching you guys, but this review is really odd. The whale noises comments were really funny - but they're there to signify something important. Might need to go through your review again, for yourselves. You're so wide of the mark. Council Skies, the whole album is NOT ABOUT MANCHESTER.
Just the title track. He also wrote some of these during lockdown. And others as his divorce was coming about.
It's a great album. He makes incredible tunes after 30 years or more. Brilliant.
It's a great album and Noel's solo career is solid. If you want something that has never really moved on since the late 90's and bucket hats Liam is still going.😉
Noel is on tour in America now, you should go to one of his gigs lads whilst he is over there
Definitely a grower, enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than who built the moon, do wish he had more solos on his work though.
Same myself over an hour knowing more hate thrown at noel which happens every watchalong
I dunno guys but I really liked this album. The live version of Council Skies with the BBC Orchestra was awesome but hey, being an Oasis fan since 1994, I feel you in a few points.
Hineslty i feel chasing yestwrday was his best album (nghfb) and this is an on par second its just the type of music that puts it a tad behind (on some of the songs) but chasing yesterday felt like the next oasis album because it almost is as most the songs are from oasis but didnt make it out for whatever reason im not completely sure. But this new album feels like a real noel album that feels a bit personal and i can really connect with most the songs. What people need to realise is liam is trying to do oasis with something new and noel is trying to do somrthing new with a little bit of oasis (tbh idk if thats what hes trying to do but thats what it really feels like and i love it). So noel makes this new album with personal lyrics that connect the audience and honestly sounds great even without lyrics and hes hated for it just because it doesnt sound like oasis? Honesty im rambling a bit cause im a bit pished but i think i got the point across 😂
Stone Roses and happy Monday vibes. ...er no not at all
american moment
I am so confused with this. Because I think Council Skies is a big improvement from Who Built the Moon and also some parts of Chasing Yesterday. You guys probably need to broaden your musical horizons because some of the comments about Hallmark movie music, and whale sound, etc are just unfair. Some of the songs like I'm Not Giving Up Tonight, Dead to the World, Easy Now, Open Your Doors - See What you Find are incredible songs. These are life-reflective songs, these are not some parody of Oasis songs that Liam is doing and fooling people into liking.
I dont this sort of criticism for Liam when he has 3-4 good songs in his album and the rest are just filler. Noel actually broadened his musical horizons and Council Skies is a just a better overall album than C'Mon You Know from Liam but I dont know it just seems to much bias for Liam at this point.
This is a GREAT ALBUM you Goofballs
Honestly guys, your channel is great, but you've lost the plot on this one.
This ☝️
Entitled to your opinions. I think they’re bollocks though.
I randomly came back to this ‘review’ for some reason and yep, it’s still embarrassing. Completely clueless on this one chaps.
These are thw same guys that after listening to live forever masterplan don't look back in anger, headshrinker was the song to BLOW THERE MINDS
It’s pure pure amazing in my opinion 👍🎶🎶
The B Side from his first single post Oasis The Good Rebel is the most Oasis sounding song ever and he even sings "I don't care for you sunshiiiiiiiiine". I think the message was pretty clear. The fact he sings RAAAAAIIIIIIN too, isn't lost either with it being the name of Oasis before he joined the band.
Looking at the comments id say this review went a bit sideways and you both made yourselves look a bit ignorant
Two thumbs down for this reaction…clueless 🤦🏻♂️
I thought this album was superb
You guys did not even react to Disc 2 of this album. There are some new and re-recorded songs and his own version of Live Forever.
Solid album as always from Noel I like his solo stuff a lot but I think he could maybe go for a more minimalist approach .would be nice if he maybe did a pure rock n roll album next time back to the essence of where he came from. Or he now has such a phobia that he immediately banned everything that sounds like oasis lol
I can't...I'll try to come back and see if I can finish this review.
Please, don’t. Worthless review.
I wouldn't bother
I appreciate your views but he's not Oasis anymore, he's evolving.....maybe you need to get on the journey as well!!!
Amen
Great album!
I love the whale sounds personally.
Always with the divorce comments and him needing money. Amateur comments.
Amateur, armchair pundits I guess… 😜
100% his best solo album, however nothing really rocks on it. More of a chill out album...but 5 stars even so
What a farce.. "this guy doesn't listen to modern music" these proclamations by the know-all in the pub.. He's massively supportive of young bands.. I saw him at the roundhouse in london only recently watchin The young Fathers.. NG has evolved in a way LG is terrified to (look at him collaborating with Dino-rocker Grohl)
. You don't dig his music? That's cool but at least know wtf you're chatting about.. Also easy now/george Harrison.. Ffs what a laugh you lot are
You didn't even review the full album, in fact you omitted the best 3 tracks! 11,12 and 13... "Don't Stop...", "We're Gonna Get There in the End" and "Mind Games"! I agree with some of your comments but when the album closes out with those three tracks it really brings it all together and I definitely think would help change your mind!
The two different things is that Liam doesn’t write his own songs and Noel does
I'm really pleased with it. It's got good reviews. The wind noise signals the change of times...sorry you didn't like it. P.S really disappointed with your reaction.
Loads of Madchester vibes on this record
I think you guys are missing the theme of the album. Back when Noel met his wife he was given an ultimatum: Oasis or me. He chose her. Now they've split the album is all about her. Songs referencing 'caught in the crossfire' is about his wife and Liam hating each other and having to pick his side.
I find it hilarious how Liam and his fans brags about selling out Knebworth, but he sells out because of majority of it being Oasis songs. And then Liam's solo stuff is pedestrian at best. Each will have 3-4 songs that are good and will be filled with mediocre songs but his fans will call it great for no reason
IEISH OASIS top band. 100% Irisg BloodOasis 100% all original Oasis members Irish. HALLAGHERS Parents Irish too and All Gallaghers rwlations Irish too. Noel and Liam Gallagher have always said Oasis Irish band.
What you guys have to realise is that churning out the same Oasis-lite stuff might be what you want but not for all of us; or for people that have listened to their music for a considerably longer time than you have. I generally find your videos a lot of fun but your reviews of Noel’s stuff I just find a bit irritating to be honest and they sort of highlight how narrow minded you can be. Broaden your horizons lads beyond the 4 chord rock. It’s not 1996 anymore 😊
Much better than his last album
Come on noelllll!!!!!
Okay album, but Council Skies is my song of the year
Lol such random comparisons
Sleigh bells = Xmas! 😜
These things you're both mocking, like the casio keyboard thing for instance in pretty boy, these things are what make it cool. Not sure why you're not feeling that
Not to tell you guys what to do but if you want to catch the biggest wave of viral, Eurovision has some big aftermath right now. :D
You missed the last song of the album, we’re gunna get there in the end. Which ironically you never did
Good but personally I prefer Liam's solo stuff wall of glass is an awesome track.
Liam has about 7 good tunes of his own. That's it.
Your opinion Noel has about 5 decent tunes that's it.
Liam singing Noels tunes is where the real magic is 🙂
Have a listen to Galvanise by Chemical Brothers lads. Think you'll like it.
the commentary on think of a number and forgetting roots is such nonsense. Actually read the lyrics, it's clearly an introspection on life.
