I didn't know what to expect before I first heard Lyla... After the Glastonbury shows with the debut of 2 new songs "Meaning of Soul" and "A bell will ring" i was a little nervous of what this next album track would sound like.
As it happens Lyla is very upbeat and very much a feel good song ; it has some feel to it that was not present in The Hindu Times which makes it feel especially summery. The verse melody is nicked from The Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man but who cares; the chorus is pretty catchy and Noel says this is one of the albums weaker tracks which leaves great optimism to the new album. Only criticism is the guitar lead bits sounding a bit crappy i thought; what happened to the good old guitar solos of morning glory era ?!

With the song recently played on Polish radio (?) and now everyone playing the same clip the eagerly awaited comeback single Lyla is being sung by Oasis fans everywhere.
The single is a 'grower' though and I think it doesnt have the same immediate impact as other previous first tracks from new albums (DYKWIM, Go Let it Out and Hindu Times).
The first 15 seconds really do sound like the Stones 'Street Fightin' Man' which Oasis covered on a b side previously.
The chorus "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Lyla, the stars are about to fall, so what d'ya say Lylaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" however is very catchy and after a few plays you'll be tapping your foot for sure and singing along with it.
Probably not the greatest comeback single by Oasis but the song will grow on you for sure and I think the best is yet to come on this album

OK so the boys have never exactly been at the forefront of originality, but hey, who cares. It seems that they have now moved towards a more 'Rolling Stones' type sound, which is no bad thing. Lyla definitely has a 'Street Fighting Man' feel about it. If this song is anything to go by, the album will be a classic, and will hopefully carry on where What's the Story left off and Be Here Now showed us flickers of.

Great songs but........
...this CD could have been so much better. The production leaves a lot to be desired as the sound is tinny with bass virtually non-existant. Read more
