Noel Gallagher has admitted that the band's earlier albums are mostly full of filler tracks.
Noel says that the new album needs to be heard as a whole, and has come up with a way to spoil things for those who just want to pick individual tracks off iTunes and other download stores.He told XFM: "I think it's the first album we've ever made where we're consciously not hanging a collection of songs around three songs, which is what seems to happen these days. That's why all the songs fade into each other and there's sound effects that join them all together. It was a conscious effort to say to people 'Well, if you're going to cherry pick songs off iTunes, you can have a few seconds either side of what you're missing. It's a real album - 'Get Off Your High Horse' or 'Falling Down' don't make sense if you haven't heard the rest of the record. The new technology's a great thing, but the 'album' has died a little bit. The reason people only want three songs off an album is cos most albums are shite".
