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在前天的訪問中，確定了新專輯將於5/16正式發行 同時專輯裡將會有12首曲目! 所有團員都有作品在其中! Noel:"這張是除了首張專輯外，我最喜愛的一張 (每次都這樣說...) 因為我們所有團員都有參與創作，而且樂風相當多變化。 事實上...現在只剩Andy Bell寫的歌還留有OASIS風味了(!!)" 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". 現在的進度是在製作專輯封面的後製作業，Noel表示最近看到的成果是呈現 "北方的蕭瑟風格"...另外現在也還沒確定哪一首會作為首發主打單曲。 Noel:"事實上專輯裡有首曲子是毫無疑問的主打...問題是...那首是我唱的。 Liam很擔心，OASIS在歷經了將近12年的歷史，他唱的曲子向來都是 首發主打。如果今天把我唱的推出當主打，人們可能會以為Liam離團了 (Liam的怪邏輯...)" "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也表示目前他最喜愛的Liam創作曲叫做"The Importance of Being Idle" 風格接近The kinks & The La's，同時歌詞撰寫的相當不錯。 Noel自己也寫了 一首關於厭倦倫敦生活的歌 "Part of The Queue"，抱怨倫敦已經失去吸引力 而且過度擁擠了。 另外一首Liam寫的歌 "Guess God Thinks I'm able"的最後 30秒結尾，據Noel的形容是會讓我們"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. 訪問最後Noel表示現在已經挑選了幾個不錯的暖場團，準備為未來巡迴替他們 作開場。同時提到Liam現在在忙的事情是...添購演唱會要穿的衣服... --
