never liked this one. I get the impression the Brits are fonder of the brickwalled distorted guitar overload than I am (one of the reasons I prefer Morning Glory to the debut tbh, it has less of that, more varied production)

it's like the classic shoegaze guitar sound ramped up by 1000 + cocaine
I'm actually quite surprised that 'Go Let It Out' managed to sneak into the Top 50. It was the last Oasis single I bought, as the whole thing just didn't feel the same anymore.
'D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?', '(It's Good) To Be Free' and 'Headshrinker' are all (IMO) top notch, though. Noel's apparently been playing '(It's Good) To Be Free' quite a lot on his solo tours. However, there's nothing yet that I feel is too low or anything.

The cover of the single features the old Liverpool Speke Airport building. The airport is famous as the scene at which thousands of hysterical fans greeted The Beatles on their return to Liverpool at the height of Beatlemania. Derelict at the time, it has now been turned into a hotel. The aeroplane is an Avro Lancastrian.

The song has been noted as one of the highlights of the album by fans, as well as the band themselves, with guitarist Noel Gallagher labelling it "deceptively brilliant"...Although only peaking at number 48 in France, the song spent a total of 28 weeks in the French Singles Chart,[6] the most ever by any Oasis single.

The song was written by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, who has varyingly described the track as "specifically designed for pogoing", "annoyingly catchy", and the "poppiest thing since "Roll with It"". Noting the varied influences of the song, Gallagher says that it's "a bit like... The Soundtrack of Our Lives doing The Who on Skol in a psychedelic city in the sky, or something".

Yeah, this was one of the post-1998 Oasis tracks that I was expecting to turn up at some point, but even though I would never have voted for it I'm still surprised to see it so low, because it's probably one of their most popular late period tracks. It's pretty much the direction Noel seems to have followed for his High Flying Birds, too.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Saturday, 27 August 2016 00:22 (eight years ago) link
I think I've said something like this before, but if I were making the Oasis biopic, it would begin with a scene of Noel and Liam as kids, Liam feeling sad for being beaten up just because he acted like an asshole, Noel cheering him up by playing a new song he just wrote 'All around the world / gotta spread the word / you know it's gonna be okay.' 'You know Liam, one day we are going to be Rock and Roll stars, and we're going to turn this song into the biggest song ever. At several of the early shows they play stripped down versions of the song, at the recording of both Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory they're asked if they want to include the anthem. 'Not yet' says Noel. 'Not until we have the budget to make it fucking right.' The film culminates with a painstaking reconstruction of the recording process of All Around the World, done in black and white, cinema verité style, but also imitating the famous bell-making scene from Andrei Rublev (it goes without saying that my biopic is a 3 hour monster like Nixon or something). Final scene of film is a one-take of Noel, dejected, angry at Liam, coked out of his mind, feeling the dream has gone to shit, putting on the song, the masterpiece he dreamt about since he was a kid, and over 9 painfull minutes realizing just how bad it is, just how much he fucked it up. For the last couple of minutes he is bawling his eyes out, lying on the floor, snot coming out of his nose. Roll credits, soundtracked by Country House.― Frederik B, Thursday, August 25, 2016 8:29 AM (two days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
