A track by track description from this week’s NME.
01: Bag It Up (Noel-written) – Mid-paced stomp featuring the repeated line „Everything I believe in/Is telling me that I want more.“
02: The Turning (Noel written) – Floats along on a drum beat similar to The Zombies ‚Time Of The Season.‘
03: Waiting for the Rapture (Noel-sung) – Almost White Stripes heavy. Lyric („revolution in the head“)
04: Shock of the Lightning – like a massively improved version of It’s Getting Better Man. Chorus (Love is a litany/a magical mystery)
05: I’m Outta Time – Beautiful, beautiful Liam balled (complete with Lennon sample) that pips Songbird has his finest songwriting hour.
06: Get Of Your High Horse Lady (Noel-written) – Brief Wild Honey Pie-esque Noel curio.
07: Falling Down – Lyrics: (I tried to talk to God/But to no avail.)
08: To Be Where There’s Life (Gem-written) – Where the new found love of ‚The Groove‘ is most apparent.
09: Ain’t Got Nothing – Indeed the track we all heard a few months back. Says it features a. all-new chorus, but the lyrics it prints are ones in the early version.
10: The Nature Of Reality (Andy-written) – Strung out psychedelia.
11: Soldier On – (Liam-written) – Final marching band mantra.
Hm, klingt eigentlich wie immer 
Ain’t Got Nothing ist der einzige halbwegs bekannte Song und darf schonmal als miserabler Füller gelten. Ganz schwacher Song durch dessen Venen das gleiche Blut fließt wie bei Better Man. Besser als DBTT darf es trotzdem gerne werden. Schlechter war nur HC.
