Noel Gallagher is not beating around the bush when it comes to his fellow British songstress Adele

The former Oasis frontman is not joining the 27-year-old's bandwagon after she struck global success with her third studio album, 25. In fact, he doesn't think he's even old enough to listen to it. 

"Lately, the one I've been asked about is Adele. If someone wants to know what I think of Adele, I'll f--king tell them. Not because I have any sort of agenda or because I'm trying to whip up any kind of hysteria," he revealed to MusicFeeds.

So, what precisely does he think about the Grammy-winning sensation?

"I just don't see what all the fuss is about," he said frankly. "I don't like her music. I think it's music for f--king grannies."

It was just as difficult for Gallagher to like the album as Adele found it to actually write. The new mom revealed that recent milestones in her life—predominantly the birth of her son Angelo and her steady romance with fiancé Simon Konecki—made it all the more tricky when putting pen to paper. 

"I found it impossible for a while," she explained to Today's Matt Lauer. "I didn't know what I wanted to write about...What's wrong is I wasn't sad."

The album eventually came to fruition—breaking the worldwide record for most albums sold in its opening week. It seems Gallagher is among a small pool of people who dislike the star's latest work, which has gone on to break a handful more records including becoming the best-selling record of 2015.  

Still, it seems no broken record is big enough to change Gallagher's mind.
