one of the few highlights on the record for me

Few, really? It isn't a perfect album, and it isn't as mind blowing as Noel takes it to be. But I find it really, really good. Black & White Sunshine and the title track are also excellent, I think. And I also really like Keep on reaching and Fort Knox. Dead in the water doesn't really belong to the album, but it's there, and it is a little gem.
He's in fine form, enjoying himself, without trying to follow the zeitgeist (these are dark times anyway). I wish U2 could borrow a bit more of that attitude sometimes.

yes. I really liked his previous albums, and I also like that he's trying new directions, but this record doesn't really hold up. Fort Know and Holy Mountain are good, as are She Taught Me How to Fly, If Love is the Law and The Man Who Built the Moon, but the rest is just...meh. He shouldn't make 'artistic' things such as Wednesday Part 1, just as pretentious as these bits on Whats the Story. Black & White Sunshine is just so cliche. And most of the lyrics are just there to rhyme, they don't make any sense (I know that they never do in this case, but on this album they're blatantly lazy)

Noel also thinks that you're not really meant to hear the lyrics either. His voice his mixed relatively low in the new record.
