according to Liam :
OASIS star LIAM GALLAGHER concedes his band will never repeat the success they enjoyed in their mid-1990s heyday.
The band's new album DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUTH has attracted a luke-warm response from critics, but Gallagher insists fans and commentators must be realistic.
Speaking of the band's first and second albums DEFINITELY MAYBE and (WHAT'S THE STORY?) MORNING GLORY, which propelled the band to superstardom, he says, "We have to be realistic. We will never sell that amount of records again."

That sounds like something Noel would say, not Liam. The part about the reviews is a little weird too...

I don't understand why they'd call the critics' response lukewarm, when the most important publications haven't even reviewed it yet, and the ones that have have by-and-large considered it quite good (save the fucking fiancial times I guess)

yeah - i'll agree with webby post there - oasis peaked 95/96/97 - will never get anywhere near again musically,but they will still always have mass apppeal and always play out to sell out crowds for the next few years anyway

Liam is right, they'll never sell the amount of albums they sold back in 94/95/96. However, it doesn't mean they can't make great albums still.

I don't understand why they'd call the critics' response lukewarm, when the most important publications haven't even reviewed it yet, and the ones that have have by-and-large considered it quite good (save the fucking fiancial times I guess) who are the most important publications? i thought they have had brilliant reviews so far. but anyway, brilliant musically doesnt equate to mainstream success. so i suppose its how you define success. and i want a brilliant record so that when people look back on oasis once they do finish in many years time....it'll read that they had a meteoric rise that soon became a phenomenon. and that even though they couldnt keep up at that level of hugeness, they consistently delivered top albums that when they are judged by history people will nod sagely and know that they were a brilliant band. and then shake their heads in disbelief that at the time DBTT came out people didnt appreciate them as they were too busy listening to britney spears -.- and so what if they peaked! i dont think they should pack it in. it isnt there fault they were so ridiculously successful that they had no where to go but down (well, unless they became nice and sweet to american press and hadnt spat on the mtv stage =P....but at least they unlike most bands have some level of credibiltiy and integrity). i dotn expect them to reach those heights again. and i dont think thats sad, cos no other band (apart from the spicegirls? =P) have managed to replicate that. as much as i like coldplay, they havent got a nation on the edge of their seats (right?...i make this comment based on waht i have read. not like i live in the UK or anything). and the fact remains that oasis as a band is jsut more INTERESTING! |

The person who wrote that article is fucking retarded. How can he even say those things BEFORE THE ALBUM HAS EVEN BEEN RELEASED, or reviewed by most people yet. It's totally biased, and I'd guess that the quotes are probably made up aswell.
Obviously though, oasis will never sell the amount of records they did in 96, but like some one already said, that isn't going to stop them from making fucking brilliant Albums, which is what they have done with 'don't believe the truth'.

One more thing, DBTT is better than WTSMG in my opinion. i personally wouldnt know as i havent heard it yet...it feels good to think that at the very least its comparable, and at the best that perhaps it really is better! back to the topic... keep in mind that oasis 'peaking' has got to do with popularity among the masses. and how good they are musically doesnt equate to selling records. from what i have read about DBTT it seems like if Oasis had released it in place of Be Here Now in 97 then they really wold have been solidified as the best band in the world. i relaly do think its a matter of timing. the music scene has changed over time, and its expected that oasis' place in it will as well - in terms of popularity. i mean all us fans (and some of the better critics who talk about MUSIC and not just rabbit on about the relevance of oasis...) will judge them differently and measure the success of the album by a different yardstick cos we care about the music. |
