noel gallagher's album is 4 good tracks, and a bunch of crap. stop the clocks, what a life, if i had a gun, and record machine are great, and about as good as what he was writing in the definitely maybe/masterplan/morning glory years. some really trite lyrics at times, though. looking forward to his next album, which is gonna be more like what a life and his stuff with the chemical brothers.
i wouldnt see the stone roses. ian brown's voice is even worse than liam gallagher's is now. better to remember how they were. maybe if the band could find a new singer...
st vincent's album is great, btw. it's chick music, but it's good.
