Noel Gallagher responds to negative review calling new album “a dried up oasis of dross”



Noel Gallagher has responded to a negative review of his new album.

The former Oasis guitarist released his new High Flying Birds album ‘Who Built the Moon?’ last week (November 24). 

Following the album’s release, a review by The Irish Times described Noel’s record as “a dried up oasis of dross”, giving the record one star out of five.

Reviewer Ian Maleney wrote of ‘Who Built the Moon?’: “There are musical gestures here that would be a cause of embarrassment if you heard them played by a gang of black-clad teenagers at a Saturday afternoon battle of the bands in a rural parish hall.”

“It’s the stale, musty sound of a glorified pub band going through the motions. Rock is dead; this is a pantomime,” he added.

Sharing a screenshot of the review on Instagram, Noel responded by joking: “That’s me told then!!”, adding: “See what they did there with the headline?” See his post below.
