Oasis guitarist NOEL GALLAGHER has spoken out about the release of the band's forthcoming studio album. The as-yet-untitled LP will hit the shops on May 16 and features 12 songs written by Noel, singer Liam guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell. He said: "The finished album is my favourite one of the last four. Because we're all contributing to the songwriting there's a different feel to it. In fact the only songs that sound like Oasis are Andy Bell's funnily enough. NOEL在前天的访问中，确定了新专辑将於5/16正式发行 同时专辑里将会有12首曲目! 所有团员都有作品在其中! Noel:"这张是除了首张专辑外，我最喜爱的一张 (每次都这样说...) 因为我们所有团员都有参与创作，而且乐风相当多变化。 事实上...现在只剩Andy Bell写的歌还留有OASIS风味了(!!)" The band are currently approving the artwork for the release, which according to Noel "looks quite bleak and northern", but are yet to decide on the first single to be lifted from the LP. "There was an obvious first single but I was singing it," Noel explained. "After 12 years of Oasis, Liam thought that might sound a bit odd, people might think he'd left the band. He threw his cans out the pram." Talking to Radio 1, the guitarist gave fans an insight into his favourite tracks on the album and said that his brother's songs are "very, very good". 现在的进度是在制作专辑封面的後制作业，Noel表示最近看到的成果是呈现 "北方的萧瑟风格"...另外现在也还没确定哪一首会作为首发主打单曲。 Noel:"事实上专辑里有首曲子是毫无疑问的主打...问题是...那首是我唱的。 Liam很担心，OASIS在历经了将近12年的历史，他唱的曲子向来都是 首发主打。如果今天把我唱的推出当主打，人们可能会以为Liam离团了 (Liam的怪逻辑...)" "If I had to pick one it would be 'The Importance of Being Idle'," he revealed. "That sounds a bit like The Kinks, a bit like The La's, a bit Liverpudlian. I think it's got the best lyrics. I'm getting quite fed up with London at the minute, there's one song called 'Part Of The Queue' which is about living in London and how you always seem to be queuing up for things in that city and how it almost … when I moved to London about 12 years ago it blew me away but the novelty has worn off. It's become so overcrowded over the last three or four years that we're upping sticks and moving." Noel said: "The most interesting thing will be when you hear Liam's songs. They are very, very good. A song called 'Guess God Thinks I'm Able'. The end 30 seconds will blow you away. It's great." Noel也表示目前他最喜爱的Liam创作曲叫做"The Importance of Being Idle" 风格接近The kinks & The La's，同时歌词撰写的相当不错。 Noel自己也写了 一首关於厌倦伦敦生活的歌 "Part of The Queue"，抱怨伦敦已经失去吸引力 而且过度拥挤了。 另外一首Liam写的歌 "Guess God Thinks I'm able"的最後 30秒结尾，据Noel的形容是会让我们"震撼"的作品 !! Noel said that the group have "bagged some magnificent support bands" for the tour, though did not reveal the exact names. 访问最後Noel表示现在已经挑选了几个不错的暖场团，准备为未来巡回替他们 作开场。同时提到Liam现在在忙的事情是...添购演唱会要穿的衣服... --
