I just love what he&#8217;s achieved and his quick funny wit. Council Skies is a collection of songs that I wish he&#8217;d released years before, more for his own sake than anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sense that he&#8217;s been through alot in his life and has found a way of clamping onto the emotional nerves of his life experiences and finding a way of translating them lyrically in a way that most folks can understand. He&#8217;s figured out how to interweave his personality and perspective into a moody and  melodic album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having spent a few years touring with U2 and their nostalgia tour, he&#8217;s used his past as a muse and subject matter for this latest release. By far his best since splitting from Oasis. I hear Sgt Pepper&#8217;s Beatles influence here and there, and oddly, the Cure and a little Paul Weller dare I say. &#8216;Dead to the world&#8217; is a stand out track, classic Noel Gallagher tapping into dark emotions that eveyone has experienced at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallagher has clearly done a lot of introspection, and is writing music for himself and nobody else. I find that admirable. He speaks of Oasis in the past tense, something that had a start, middle and end. He has a brother who knows how to rattle him, in a way Liam is a polar opposite. He doesn&#8217;t appear to think deeply, he&#8217;s right in the moment with a confident swagger, a performer and a bloody good singer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say opposite attract. Here&#8217;s the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sadly, the next time you\u2019ll see each other is at a funeral.

I hope he proudly tours this album and then get&#8217;s back to the business of Oasis. And yes, that means having a proper, private and confidential  1:1 conversation with his brother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they don&#8217;t, it&#8217;ll be too late so very soon. They must re-unite for the right reasons. Not like the mess that is The Black Crowes right now. A band they toured with before for &#8216;The brotherly love tour&#8217;, which was ironic as the brothers Robinson despise each other and never respected each other. The re-united for an anniversary tour, and is just reeks of inauthenticity compared to their brilliant past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d love to hear your comments on this important musical topic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jesus, imaging dying at a funeral.
