From nme.com: NOEL GALLAGHER has given an exclusive interview to NME.COM where he claimed new LP ’DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH’ is their best effort since their classic debut ’DEFINITELY MAYBE’. Although they scrapped it three times and it took three years Noel told NME.COM that Oasis are back on form and he’s prouder of their sixth studio album than any other Oasis record in the last ten years. He told NME.COM: “I’m more proud of this one then of any album since ‘Definitely Maybe’. We stuck it out, we stuck to our guns and we pulled it off.”<br> With single ‘Lyla’ being released on May 16, the album following two weeks later on May 30 and a massive tour including appearances at V Festival (August 20-21) to come, Noel admitted it felt strange to return to full action with Oasis after ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’’s isolated recording process. “It’s like pulling a huge, big elastic band back,” he suggested. “It went all the way back for three years and now we’re ready to let go. We’re getting back into the swing of things, it’s been ‘What? We’ve got to do a video on Friday? Whoa, whoa!”<br> ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’’s elongated recording process has contrasted sharply to the regularity between the band’s previous albums, leading some to suggest Oasis were in crisis. However, Noel insisted he never panicked. “We were more into getting this record absolutely spot on for no other reason then the songs demanded it,” he explained. “There was never one point where any of us where worried – apart from Liam who’s like a woman who’s on a fucking permanent menstrual cycle all the time about everything. He’s either way up in the clouds or way down in the gutter. So taking him out of the equation, the rest of us knew it was going somewhere and we kind of had it all in our heads we just couldn’t put our finger on why the versions before the album I’ve got in front of me now weren’t sounding right,.”<br> As with the ‘Heathen Chemistry’, Noel was joined on songwriting duties by his bandmates, and he believes the results back the new approach. “People are telling me it’s really varied, I just think the album is a good collection of songs,” he explained. “Liam’s are great, Andy’s are brilliant and Gem’s – seriously – are the closest anyone’s going to get to ‘Revolver’. He added: “Someone said to me my songs sound like B-sides from 1994. I take that as a compliment because the B-sides I wrote then should have been on ‘Be Here Now’. That would be an insult to some people but not to me.”<br> With the album now finished, Oasis are turning their attention to touring. The band will play nine massive UK shows for June and July – including a three night stand at The City Of Manchester Stadium (June 30, July 2-3), home of Noel’s beloved Manchester City – as well as playing Madison Square Garden (June 22) and The Hollywood Bowl (September 12) in America. For the full interview with Noel, see this week’s issue of NME, which is out nationwide now. www.nme.com/news/111875.htmWell, nothing new, but Noel said it again ;D hope it´s true.. |

yea it'll definetly be better than sotsog and bhn. heathen chemistry, i dont know. at least they have a producer this time so it'll sound better. it might be better than definetly maybe song wise, but it will never replace that album, for sentimental and cultural reasons.

I remember him saying alot of stuff about albums prior to this....but he's talked this one up more then any of them from what i can remember. When he said that about SOTSOG you can tell he didn't mean it....he only liked it coz it was the first album on his own label. i don't remember a whole lot being said about HC other then he wanted "she is love" off of it. and no matter what he said....all the albums after WTS(MG) got rough reviews. after i read that review by colin murray i was like "wow...the swagger's going to be back in my step? it must be pretty fuckin good then." no one has written anything like that about one of their albums since WTS(MG).
- cheers !

Noel always talks up albums. Be Here Now though-- I believe that Noel didn't like it because the songs were not very inspired. It wasn't a very artistic period of his life. I love Be Here Now though. It could have been better, but I do love it. It's my third favorite. DBTT may replace it. After hearing Lyla it may replace Morning Glory. I really love Lyla. |

nothin could ..it defined ENGLANDS YOUTH CULTURE OF THE 90S..not many bands or artists or politicians have been able to lay that claim..WELL SAID not just that eh, it honestly defined an entire generation. that album transcends cultural boundaries. sure, its all well and good to say that nevermind did that, but looking at kurt cobain nowadays, it doesnt seem convincing. kurt was a good looking person, he was smart and did alright in school, and he only went through a divorce, which fuelled his creativity. noel and oasis were and still are the real deal. even people who are in north america find heroes in noel and liam, even though theyre not singing about growing up american or canadian. |

i loved nirvana but kurt was a wining gobshite a bit like robby williams.
you yanks and your therapy just like posh little robby.
real people deal with life and get on with it. suck it in you fuckers!
start a ball of string in the loft and add to it when life gives you a hard time just like oj simpson.
or was that lisa?

It isn't just SOTSOG and HC - I remember the interview he did backstage at Earl's Court in 96 when he said that (WTS)MG was a far better album than DM, because it had "more going on in general" whereas DM was "just whack the guitars up to 11 and off we go". He has been saying it for years - let's hope he's right THIS time.
As it happens I think he was right about (WTS)MG the first time round! That albums rules.
