Nov 25, 2017Easily the best record from either Gallagher brothers post Oasis. I didn't expect Noel to outdo Liam simply based on what Noel has released in the past, but this album rather surprised me and is one of my albums of the year for sure.
-
Nov 25, 2017Brilliant. On par with Liam's but completely different musically. Tame psychedelia and poppy tunes are the opposite of Oasis; yet Noel does it perfectly. I prefer As You Were but this is still quality.
-
Nov 28, 2017Easily his best work since the 90'. He sounds more enthusiastic about the music and it shows in this album. it seems to me that a proper creative rejuvenation is about to follow.
-
Nov 28, 2017Without a doubt, his best album to date. It's nice to see that he changed direction and tried something different and fresh. He succeeded 100%! I will always love Oasis, but that style and time period is forever gone. It's 2017.
Highlights for me are "It's a Beautiful World," "She Taught Me How to Fly," "If Love is the Law," and "Dead in the Water."
I can't wait to see what he does next! -

Nov 27, 2017This album is quite the grower. Catchy, fresh and flows perfectly from start to finish. I hope he goes into the studio with zero material for his next album - especially this being the end result.

Nov 27, 2017This album is amazing! I love it! Best album of the year! Congratulations, Noel Gallagher, you're a genius! The man who built the moon is my favorite!! ♥

Nov 27, 2017BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR!! hahahahahahahahaha
Achando lindo os haters que diziam que o álbum seria um belo fracasso pagando com a língua. Cadê o fracasso? -

Nov 26, 2017HINO DE ÁLBUM. MELHOR DISCO DO ANO SEM SOMBRA DE DÚVIDAS! QUEM DIZ QUE É RUIM É HATER QUE NÃO SABE NEM ONDE FICA A PRÓPRIA RABA! BJOS!
PARÁBÉNS, NOEL -
Nov 24, 2017BIBLICAL! I'm completely in love with this record! Dead In The Water and The Moon Who Built The Moon are the best of Noel's entire career. Album of the year, only!
-
Nov 24, 2017We can realize optimism and energy on Who Built The Moon. Noel keeps on (successfully) trying to travel into the psychedelic world. The songs are happier than the last album, but he kept the same essence. Noel being Noel, but more experimentalist
-
Nov 24, 2017This album flows extremely well from start to finish. Noel’s stepped out of his comfort zone and succeeded. The Man Who Built The Moon and Dead In The Water is some of the best work of his career. Easily the most cohesive album he's ever made. Definitely worth a listen.

Nov 24, 2017"Noel knows how to construct a sturdy song"
This album grows on me more every time I listen to it.
Noel Gallagher's psychedelic Music is his best solo record.
"If Love Is The Law" My favorite song of the album
Biblical! -
Sep 5, 2019Generic repetitive stoner rock.
Not to mention Noel is a complete a**hat live... skip this group for sure!
Save your precious time for something from the actual 70s/80s that sounds good. -
Nov 24, 2017Great album, amazing songs. Love them all. Noel is a Genius. The Man Who Built The Moon is a best track on the album. Also Dead In The Water is a brilliant tune. Best his solo work.
-
Nov 24, 2017Amazing album, I didn't expect less of him. I'm amazed with The Man Who Built the Moon, Keep on Reaching and Back&White Sunshine, just to name a few. He's a genius, you can't tell us otherwise. Hope it's a success, along with his next tour, so he can keep on changing and experimenting with music they way he did here.

Sep 28, 2020Así que a este tipo le fascina hablar pestes sobre otros artistas como Adele, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Rihanna y Taylor Swift, es patético, su música no tiene trascendencia, como mucho tuvo algo de eso con Oasis, por mas que le guste llamar la atención en base a los demás, no lo logra jajaja
-
Nov 27, 2017The album is medicore at it's best. Actually the only song that is worth mentioning - expect for the album opener "Fort Knox" is throwback to the album - "Dead In The Water". Noel should definiately stay in his singer-songwriter comfort zone, rather than "pushing boundaries" of such an uninspired record

May 30, 2022Rather than go into the intricate details of why I don't like this huge migration from what I enjoy about Noel Gallagher, I'd rather sum it up in one sentence:"David Holmes feat. Noel Gallagher's high flying birds."

Dec 18, 2017I still prefer his debut over this. It's not a bad record by any stretch of the imagination, I liked a lot of the singles leading up to this. It's his most experimental album yet and he pulled it off quite well. Definitely worth a re-listen

Nov 28, 2017Listening to the album is an experience--like watching an epic flick. Best Noel solo album, and probably the best he's written since Be Here Now. The Man Who Built The Moon IMO is one of the tunes he's ever written period.

Jun 2, 2018Very clever if predictable album, its good old Noel/Oasis/HFB but in styles you would associate with other bands, well blow me, whats new? Except this time he really has deviated from the usual progrock./intie sound to what ever suited the tune best. Every song can be matched to something else, but in a different interesting energetic way - EXCELLENT
-
Jun 10, 2022People really seem to hate this one, but I think it's pretty cool to see him branching out a little.
No matter what it's definitely interesting.

Dec 8, 2017The captivating aspect of Who Built the Moon? is its capability to grow in depth across multiple listens. Furthermore, the album intensifies and gains strength with multiple listens.
-
Dec 5, 2017This is Noel’s strongest work post-Oasis...maybe even Liam.
-
Nov 29, 2017The result is an eclectic mix of psychedelia, electronica, dance beats and space jazz as well as rock which moves along the scale from The Beatles towards erstwhile collaborators The Chemical Brothers. The tempo is upped, while Gallagher’s vocals are in a higher register than usual and the guitars are much further back in a musical mix that is highly textured.
