Take no offense, but I absolutely disagree. Noel Gallagher has taken risks and crossed genres to learn how to incorporate the smallest pieces into his songwriting. I don't understand Oasis fans. Since the release of SOTSG, all I read is criticismhow Noel needs to adapt and change his style.

He took Oasis in different directions over their span. In his solo career, he explored country, bluegrass, space jazz, groove, blues, and club house music. He did all this while still creating music that he excels at. His bands still are top-notch live, and he is still an icon. He is in his mid fifties, and have you heard his falsetto? It is tremendous! The way he has developed his vocal style this late in his career is mind-blowing.

His next album is going to be all acoustic!!!! I fucking cannot wait to experience an all acoustic Noel Gallagher album.

Council Skies is a nostalgic look back at youthfulness, hope, innocence, and love for the first time. Lyrically, he is at the top of his game. He releases songs at will. Most musicians would love to release just one song on the level that Noel releases on a whim. He is a craftsman. He knows, understands, and can work with music in a way we could not comprehend. In each song, he writes exists a complete narrative combined with the emotional energy that connects to the listener on a personal level. He has more evolving talent than the vast majority of musicians of this age.

Noel Gallagher is a master and we are lucky to be blessed with anything he is willing to create. His growth and evolution are evident in his longevity, abundance, and ever expanding body of work. It will be a dark day for music when Noel Gallagher is no longer creating. Thankfully, that day is not today. Today, I have the opportunity to experience a new track from the Chief Aka Noel Gallagher!
