Anspieltips:
1. "Riverman" hat wieder diesen Refrain, den nur ein Noel Gallagher schreiben kann. Die Saxofon Einlagen sind wohltemperiert und unpeinlich.
2. "The Dying Of the Light" ist wie die Umarmung eines alten Freunden, den man lange nicht mehr gesehen hat. Der Song wächst, hält sich an den richtigen Stellen zurück und ist von melancholischer und melodischer Schönheit.
3. "While The Song Remains The Same" zitiert "Falling Down" denkt die Melodie hingegen zu Ende. Der Chorus ist wie ein Stich ins Herz.
4. "Know We Can't Go Back" und "Lock All The Doors" schiffen im Fahrwasser alter Oasis Tage, dass man sich wehmütig die 90er zurückwünscht.
Kurzum: Differenzierter Produktion und Songauswahl des "besseren" Gallaghers . Don't Look Back in Anger? Niemals!
Noel has delivered another brilliant CD. It's very well produced by Noel and each song flows into the next. It becomes clear that he creates an album as a piece of art and not a collection of random songs. This makes an individual evaluation of each song senseless. The CD should be played through from start to finish and leaves a wonderful impression. To be honest I could play the whole CD all day long.
I like the fact that there is more rock guitar on this album compared to the first one and he seems to be influenced here by Pink Floyd and David Bowie, which can be clearly seen in 'Riverman' and 'The Girl with X-Ray Eyes' respectively. That's fine with me !
'Lock all the doors' originates from early Oasis and is at last in it's completed version. It's superb and an absolute stand-out song.
Other absolute highlights are 'The Dying of the Light' and 'Ballad of the Mighty I' but as mentioned the other songs add greatly to the overall 'feel' of the album.
Now I'm really looking forward to seeing NGHFB live again performing these fantastic songs together with their first album and Oasis classics. Nothing could be better !
