   Brilliant album by Noel Gallagher. This album truly contains some brilliant songs with wonderful melodies. It is a shame that Noel Gallagher never seems to get proper credit in professional reviews despite making some fantastic songs. People expect him to top Definitely Maybe or WTSMG? every time he records and album. Those are outrageous expectations, but despite that Noel comes with brilliant songs and this album is proof of that.… Expand

   Noel's best work since Morning Glory. A class apart from Beady eye. A must if you're an Oasis fan, I'd still pick it up even if you're not. Only one stinker; Solider boys and Jesus freaks. Other then that a great modern album. A nice pick-me-up from the stress's of life.… Expand

   Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is not only Noel Gallagher’s first post-Oasis album, but also the first of all his albums to have an at lea least slightly cohesive narrative. He’s insisting that he hadn’t planned on doing so while writing the songs, but it turned out to be something that you could find a connection in if you’re searching for one. But does that automatically make it better than the last four disappointing Oasis releases? It may seem so at the start, but after the finale Stop The Clocks a fake reinterpretation of classic Oasis song Champagne Supernova that has been bubbling around in Noel’s had already before the release of 2005’s Don’t Believe The Truth it’s another unfulfilling record. Noel Gallagher surprises with one fantastic song, entitled If I Had A Gun, that combines well-written and poetic lyrics with interesting instrument experiments, but most of NGHFB is plain vanilla. There’s actually no bad song on the album, but the whole vibe is a bit boring after all. Gallagher succeeded in making a new sort of music and getting away from the Oasis style, but didn’t succeed in making the music more special and interesting than in the recent Oasis albums. It may be a bit rash to say that there is no future for this new project of Noel, but I guess that he will soon realize that is days are over.… Expand
