New Oasis Track - Lyla

I managed to purloin the new Oasis track from the torrents yesterday only to then get the full video on Channel4 at about 11pm! Cool. The new song - Lyla - is what you would expect from the more recent Oasis stuff, well over produced with the usual sandpaper vocals from Liam. I am not overly impressed - but have only heard the track 2 time so far but have been singing it in my head for the last 4 hours! I have it here on my portable drive so will give it a few more listens before the day is out. The track listing for the new album AND comments on each track by acoustic superman Noel is as follows [via]:
1. ‘Turn Up The Sun’ - “A bit like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, A stomper” 2. ‘Mucky Fingers’ – Imagine Bob Dylan singing [The Velvet Underground’s] ‘Waiting For The Man’ with that frantic drumbeat. 3. ‘Lyla’ – Our poppiest thing since ‘Roll With It’ Annoyingly catchy. A bit like The Who.” 4. ‘Love Like A Bomb’ – ‘One of Liam’s. It starts off acoustic and Martin Duffy of Primal Scream plays this kinda country piano solo.” 5. ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ – “A cross between The Kinks and The La’s about being a lazy f**ker.” 6. ‘The Meaning Of Soul’ – “Like Elvis on crack. We played it at Glastonbury like The Stooges.” 7. ‘Guess God Thinks I’m Abel’ – A Liam tune that’s kind of slowish and acoustic.” 8. ‘Part Of The Queue’ – One of mine with a weird 3/4 rhythm that’s a bit Shack [brilliant mid ‘90s smack-blighted, hugely melodic Liverpudlian nearly-rans] doing Love” 9. ‘Keep The Dream Alive’ – “A song by Andy [Bell – bassist] that’s like The Stone Roses.” 10. ‘A Bell Will Ring’ – Gem [Archer – guitarist] wrote it. It’s the closest anyone’s got to sounding like [The Beatles’] ‘Revolver’.” 11. 'Let There Be Love' – “We [Noel and Liam] both sing, like the self-Righteous Brothers. It’s a fitting anthem to finish the record.” ‘Don’t Believe the Truth’ will be released on May 30 and the first single 'Lyla’ will out on May 16. Both will be released on Gallagher’s own Big Brother Recordings label.
I wonder how long it will be before an ADVANCE version appears on the torrents? Anyway, i'm sure you can find an MP3 of Lyla if you know where to look.
