CraigR.Oct 13, 2008The used to be the best band in the world, now they are the best BLAND in the world. If only Noel could come up with at least one good tune. This is all sound over substance. So disappointing.

JoeS.Oct 7, 2008The BIG "The Sound Of The Lightning" made me hopefully they've regained some of the swagga lost in the last one. Unfortunately, "Lightning" is a bit of a red herring. Aside from a couple songs ("The Turning" and "To Be Where There's Life") it's back to the limb sound of Don't Believe The Truth.

markpDec 11, 2008Yawn, pure British mediocrity. They never were particularly good, just middle of the road rock for the masses, boring.

It won't win them any new fans, but those that believed the truth last time will dig this.

Qualitywise, most of the tracks here are more ''Bungalow Bill'' than ''Eleanor Rigby.''

Noel Gallagher wrote two more tunes here, both excellent. Unfortunately, age has softened his heart, and he cedes the album's other half to his bandmates (including lead-singing brother Liam), who offer subpar material.
