Who Built the Moon?

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
70/100
""
Pop Rock, Neo-Psychedelia

Good album but there was nothing particularly standout about it. Out of the tracks I think the bonus track Dead in the Water was probably my favourite, Fort Knox is a powerful opener but it suffers from the same issues songs like 'Time' do to where the backing sound effects in the track make it harder to justify listening to the track on it's own but in this case it's far worse for the track because it isn't quite as powerful , still a great opener. I feel that's the same with the whole album where it's good but it's not quite on the same level of the other High Flying Birds albums.
