*** - Standing on The Shoulder of Giants had just come out and someone asked him what it was like and he said :
" i'd give it 8 out of 10. There's two shit songs on it ".
gotta love Noel.
Heh...he also said that about Dig Out Your Soul. B-sides on an album just make it worse. Don't get the logic just having them as filler unless there is an album length requirement.
Dig Out Your Soul was a really good album bar the last two songs. The Nature Of Reality and Soldier On really hurt that album. It could have been great but in the end it was merely good and following
the return-to-form of Don't Believe The Truth it was a slight letdown. But at least they ended after two pretty decent albums instead of splitting after Be Here Now and Standing On The Shoulder of
Giants and tarnishing their legacy entirely.
Some bands have one or two classics only go on to release terrible albums and never recover.
