Let’s face it; Noel Gallagher is one of the the greatest songwriters England has produced, maybe ever. But after the lackluster last few Oasis albums Noel lazily threw songs on, we finally got to see the genius songwriter in his own element, and the long awaited curiousness did not disappoint. ”If I Had A Gun” is probably as close to “Wonderwall“‘s romanticism he’ll ever get, and “AKA…What a Life!” puts a new disco beat side to Noel’s musical palette. But the thing that hits you most in “High Flying Birds” is the absolute epicness of the album, something that never escaped Oasis, but seemed overblown and unneeded at the same time. Noel, not having his brother’s menacing stage prowess and strong Lydon-esque vocals, needed to compensate, and it worked marvelously.

With this "debut" album, Noel Gallagher brings to his audience tracks that could have easily fit into either of Oasis's last two albums (and were demoed for those albums), as well as new material that keeps a similar sound while moving forward and away from the falling out that caused the end of Oasis.
The album is no mere "Oasis album without his brother or the other bandmates" though, it is Noel doing what his fans knew he could do well for years and years: take the lead and own it. His voice, guitar, and writing are all strong on the ten tracks and demonstrate a care for sound and lyrical quality. The style may not stray too far from his known style, but the songs illustrate a keen thought process and refreshing sound of a songwriter stepping out on his own, with little timidity or trepidation.
The three released singles (to date): "The Death of You and Me", "If I Had a Gun...", and "AKA... What A Life!" represent the strengths of the album and Noel's willingness to release inventive tracks and accompanying promotional videos that place him in a unique limelight.
This is a strong album, and while it comes at a point in the artists life without the band he spent a majority of his career performing, the album sounds as defining as Oasis's first two albums at the height of Britpop in the mid-1990s, albeit for this moment in Gallagher's career and songwriting style.
