Q Magazine's 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' Album Review


Noel Gallagher High Flying Birds has been given four stars out of five in the new issue of the magazine, a scan of the review can be found here.

There are 25 different covers of the new issue of Q one is Liam, one Kasabian, one Paul Weller. Noel vs. Liam is No.1 in the "top scraps" feature.

- The 'download' section has Everybody's On The Run, If I Had A Gun (part of the best 50 tracks of the month) and Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks.

- Dream On has a fist-in-the-air chant of "shout it out for me"

- Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks is wistful and strident. Anti-war and anti-religion - soliders "go to heaven on their holidays" and preachers "twist the words of way back when".

- Everybody's On the Run is full of drama and emotion, but not better than If I Had A Gun.

- Record Machine and Stop The Clocks are great, but not much different than the demos and sound the most Oasis-like songs.

the article says those 2 songs are wildly different from the demos and here you say they're not much different, so how are they?
I think they're not much different

You didn´t read it right. It is said (in the article) that neither the both songs are widly different.

A good review from Q, except they slate AKA What A Life, and claim Noel hated it, and should have left it off the album. This is clearly rubbish as not only is it one of the best songs on the album, the second single, and already been used in two advertising campaigns, but Noel has played an acoustic version live a few times now. A bit of a blip in an otherwise good review...
