Noel Gallagher's album disgust
Sunday, 2 November 2008
Noel Gallagher refuses to listen to his own albums.
The Oasis guitarist dislikes the band's third and fourth LPs, 'Be Here Now' and 'Standing On The Shoulder of Giants' and wishes the group had taken a break from music during the time they were recorded.
He admitted: "I see the middle two albums, 'Be Here Now' and 'Standing On The Shoulder of Giants', as lacking - for me anyway - in any kind of joy or spirit.
"It was like making records for the sake of it. I look back on that time and think we should have just had a break and done a bit of living, enjoyed the success that we had. But we didn't. We just kept going. I don't listen to those albums."
The rocker believes it is only with their current album, seventh studio effort 'Dig Out Your Soul', that the band have achieved what they set out to.
He added to Britain's GQ magazine: "I really liked our fifth, 'Heathen Chemistry', but I thought it was only a third of the way to the place we wanted to be with this band then 'Don't Believe The Truth' got us half way.
"'Dig Out Your Soul' got us to the place where we all feel comfortable with where we're at. There is no need to write pop songs for the sake of it. We just write what we like and do what we do."
