Any Oasis fans here? Prob not on a Prince site, but had to give a shout out about their new album. Really diggin it. Best since Morning Glory? Maybe. Of course, total Beatles rip-off but I don't care, this thing is pretty rockin.

Bag it Up
The Shock of Lightning
I'm Outta Time (LOVE this one)
Falling Down
Soldier On

Still letting the rest sink in but those are the ones grabbn me so far.

They've made a career out of ripping the Beatles off. This CD is no different, but I agree it does sound good.

another strong record once again from Oasis, one of their best.

Bought this yesterday, so haven't had much of a chance to get used to it, but think i like "don't believe the truth" more. "Heathen chemistry" and "be here now" are way underrated too, only weak album is "standing on the.....". How would you guys rank their albums?

P.S love "shock of the lightning", reminds me of "rock n' roll star" a lot. Probably just need more time for rest of the songs to grow on me, they're not obvious singles with big choruses, more beat driven head boppers with nice bass lines.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of folk say that in the last week. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
I think The Shock Of The Lightening is a great track, I'm surprised it didn't hit no.1.

Count me in as an Oasis fan on this site.

Finally picked up the latest and I'm liking Noel's songs very muchly.

Their best work since "What's The Story (Morning Glory)".
Noel is operating at the peak of his powers on this latest disc.

As far as brit stuff goes! I will check it out the new Oasis (as always) but have been listening to the Kaiser Chiefs the last couple of years.

I really miss Blur but enjoy Grahan Coxon's solo stuff.

I'd agree with that as well.

I'm beginning to agree myself. The first seven tracks are especially good.

lets all have a sing-along

Yes, it's their best album since Morning Glory.

Cloudbuster said:

Knew you'd come around.

AlexdeParis said:

Do you think Noel's back on the coke?

Cloudbuster said:

If thats what got him back on track then keep the snow comin! Ha ha...but a coupe weeks now and its still being played...thats a much better track record than either Be Here Now or Heathen Chemistry when they came out.

Yeah, i'm starting to really like this album now, especially "to be where there's life", that's my favourite song.

Poplife88 said:

I've played almost nothing else since I bought it last week. Very good work.

As some of you know, both those dudes are on my Men I Am Going To Punch In The Mouth list.

Hopefully, this will not affect their ability to make music that pleases you.

I offered them sanctuary, so shut up.

I'm stuck on track 2. Shake your reptile, baby!

i was a fan for a few records but they're like the foo fighters in that they keep re writing the same record with diminishing returnes. this new isn't bad it's just the same ....


i like the song noel did on the paul weller record.
