I'm liking some of this new HFB album, which I haven't able to say about anything NG-related since Morning Glory. "Black & White Sunshine" is a highlight and has that lovely Kevin Shieldsy guitar bit in the chorus. "If Love is the Law" is a decent attempt to be Fleet Foxes. After further listening, I might be led to go so far as to say the album is good, but I'll remain tentative for now.

not a huge oasis fan myself, but did you not like any of these:
"D'You Know What I Mean?""Stand by Me""Go Let It Out""Fuckin' in the Bushes""Stop Crying Your Heart Out""Little by Little"

"Little by Little" is atrocious. "D'You Know What I Mean" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" are merely bad. "Go Let it Out" is passable. "Stand by Me" is almost good. FITB I don't remember. I don't actively like any of them. Apart from the plodding chorus, "All Around the World" off BHN is one of NG's better chord sequences/melodies, but that was also an old song by the time it was released.

"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" always sounded to me like someone saying "look, here's a tenner, now pissoff"

'Stand By Me' and 'Fuckin' in the Bushes' are both great, IMO.
Anyway, I've given the new High Flying Birds album a listen but the mastering is so hot it's borderline unlistenable - shame, sounds like the most "adventurous" thing he's done in ages.
