SUN REVIEW:
1.Turn Up the Sun.
A BELTING opener. Starts with some gentle guitar before exploding into the classic Oasis wall of sound. Liam sneers over big drums and chords.
This should kick off the band's summer shows. Also features the first of many big pshchedelic guitar breaks on the album. 8/10
2. Mucky Fingers.
Over to Noel, doing his best impression of BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
Angry ranting vocals over a choppy monotonous riff - a completely new stlye for noel. 7/10.
3. You know all about it . 8 /10.
4. Love Like a Bomb.
RAW and under-produced. With its simple words, it sounds like a liam number to me. "You turn me on, Love's like a Bomb, Blowing my mind".
But he sings it with such conviction it works.
There;s a lovely moment when the whole band lanch into Beatles-style harmonies. 7/10
5. The importance of Being Idle.
The most experimental track on the album and quickly becoming my favourite.
Starts of with a Russian-style (A WHAT!?) beat. Noel sings about the stress of working when u hate your job.
He tries out a surprisingly beautiful falsetto loads of fairground organs. 9/10
6. The Meaning of Soul.
SHORT, Fast and menacing. A dirty, driving R'n'B track complete wth mouth organ. Rips-off the Rolling Stones famous 'All right Now, in fact it's a gas' chorus in jumping Jack Flash. 8/10
7. Guess God thinks Iam Albe.
A touching slow number that sounds like a reference to the relationship between Liam and Noel.
Over a simple guitar the lyrics go: "No one can break us, no one can take us". 8/10.
8. Part of the Queue.
GUESS the influences!! This time its Golden Brown by The Stranglers.
Starts well but doesn't really go anywhere. We've hit a more patchy part of the album. 7/10.
9. Keep the Dream Alive.
Lots of George Harrison-style guitar on this big work-out that sounds like something from 'The MAgical Mystery Tour.
Liam sngs: i'm no stranger to this place, where real life and dreams collide. 8/10.
10. A Bell Will Ring.
A Welcome upturn which pulls no punches. A massive intro using Noel;s familer wash of guitars.
Clearly inspired by the Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. The partner To The Importance of Being Idle. 8/10.
11. Let There Be Love.
Slightly dissapointing and weak finish - gentle piano and acoustic guitar.
BUT lots of intresting chord changes and a string selection. More filter then Thriller. 6/10.
AVERAGE RATING : 7.63 / 10.

Strong statement I know, but can you say where he is coming from, is it really as strong as that? |

Thought I'd bring this one back to compare how we think they faired in rating The Truth.

i dunno...seems that all most people want is a rehash of the past when to me it doesn't seem possible. Theyve changed and I think its for the better because they were getting no where by trying to remake DM and WTSMG....jmo
