Yeah, I totally agree. I didn't like Cornerstone either but it sort of grew on me. But the video for it is so corny. I can't even stand to watch it.
Noel Gallagher once said that he just couldn't write lyrics like he used to when Oasis first started because he's not in that place anymore, not living on the dole or whatever. I assume Alex Turner is sort of getting to that point as well. But as far as the music goes, I know they're trying to branch out and try new things which is great but, I'm just not into the direction they're going.
