Gallagher Sr says he's 'not surprised' at the quality of 'I'm Outta Time'

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has praised brother Liam's songwriting on 'I'm Outta Time', the second single due to be released from the band's forthcoming album 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

Speaking to musicradar, Noel revealed that he always expected 'Im Outta Time' to be brilliant, revealing he has always thought his brother's songs were good, despite him being the band's principle songwriter so far in their career.

"I like Liam's songs, I wasn't surprised [at 'I'm Outta Time''s quality]," he said. "He's [Liam] expected to write great songs, he's in Oasis."

Gallagher has previously told BBC 6Music that the forthcoming single is a "piano-y, John Lennon-y obligatory plodaway song in the middle [of the album].

"It breaks up the two sides which are pretty intense, and it's full-on from the start to finish."

'Dig Out Your Soul' is set to be released on October 6. It will be preceded the first single to be taken from the album, 'The Shock Of The Lightning', on September 29.

It's a great interview. Noel is very funny, especially when he talks about Guitar Hero and other video games. Can't print what he says, but it's hilarious.

Liam's songwriting has improved masivelly since the pretty-weak first atempt Little James.I would even go as far as saying,that the last two Oasis albums have more great tracks from Liam than from Noel.A nice surprise in the songwriting department.
