Noel Gallagher reigns supreme

There was not much to be expected. Months of back and forth with the producers, then again thrown after much bescholtenen appearance at the Glastonbury Festival 2004 About the hooves and yet: The sixth Oasis album takes up where you might have been in "Be Here Now" anno 1997 should continue. That one day should four different songwriters working on Oasis-plate was then still in the stars. This development has some positive sides. The album has become quite versatile than expected, but - just to mention the downsides - some compositions of the masters Archer, Bell and Liam Gallagher are a bit half-baked and uninspired. Noel Gallagher on the other hand runs on the absolute top form and shows with songs such as "The Importance of Being Idle" or, the Velvet Underground charming cribbed, "Mucky Fingers" his immense energy in the songwriting. Especially vocally he has made astonishing advances (particularly in the said "The Importance ... and, with brother Liam together put forward, play" Let There Be Love ").
