"I can say this is the best album of Oasis since What the Story Morning Glory, on the other side, this is not Oasis. Noel Gallagher deliver us a project worth listening too, unike Liam's Bready Eye (.. sucks). You can see what Oasis was all about, and how Noel forgot for the last 5 albums of oasis..." Reply
