Am I the only one concerned by The Times' review of the album?? Why be concerned? Just make your own mind up when you hear the album. |

but only a few weeks now and we will all know

The Times' readers are hardly pop/rock fans are they? My guess would be they listen to classical music hehe... No worries man, it's Oasis. Though it could be they go country on us.  |

Am I the only one concerned by The Times' review of the album?? i wouldnt be too worried, i'd say oasis fans will love it .....non-oasis fans - who knows? who cares?! Interesting point : WTSMG was heavily critised by the media prior to its release, and it was only after it sold about 17 trillion copies that the media fell in love with it conversely, i remember hearing and reading about how Be Here Now was the greatest album of all time, and we all know what they say about that now! |

I read it, and it doesn't even sound like the person who wrote the review even listened to the album

The Times = Rupert Murdoch = Tory = Twat = Self Delusion = Rubbish Journalist
People don't pay attention to this bollocks.
The album may be great.
It may be shit.
It may be average.
But I for one am not gonna judge it based on the opinions of a fecking tory.

times is the uk's most credible paper, and does not have a tori veiw, they just judge music based on originality etc, if they dont like oasis big deal ,its their, or should i say one persons opinion (the reveiwer) and this is not an actuall reveiw, more of a preveiw, and to be honest, this reveiwer has a bad feeling about this album, as do alot of people on this board, myself included

Of course people should respect other peoples opinion, if everyone liked the same thing it would be a boring world.
But the problem i think most people have with this review is that the author slates the record after hearing one song.
Is that good journalism?
P.S yes the times is a tory paper...

The Times is owned and runned by Rupert Murdoch; a man with vested bussiness and political interests. It therefore does not portray EU in a positive light (Murdoch doesn't like the EU) and despite not always taking an obvious party political allegiance, it does have a centre right rhetoric. Basically it is accountable to Murdoch, shareholders and profit. So it's NOT impartial. The Guardian and The Observer are the only papers not run for profit. They're owned by a cooperative trust and so often report with greater impartiality. THAT is why you shouldn't care about what The Times says. Its a paper that caters for Middle England. The Guardian and The Observer tell it like it is. Papers of the people and not of profit. Shit....this is turning into another political thread |

I'm not worried at all. For every every 10 good reviews on this album there are going to be 1 or 2 bad ones. There will always be critics who will never be impressed with another Oasis album again. Who cares at the end of the day, we'll love the album and buy it. And hundreds of thousands of people have tickets in hand ready to go crazy this summer.

lol. Why do you have a bad feeling about the album dominic? ive no idea, i like lyla, but i was just watching Q and The Hindu Times came on and i hadnt seen that video is sooo long and it blew me away, great song etc, lyla is gud but its no THT, DYKWIM, SMS, its prob on par with GLIO, but the fact that noel has pretty much never really hyped it, he never said its our best he said its the one hes most proud of since DM but hes said that about every single album, i dont no, its just i no the Boys are brilliant and they have one more stunner in them, i no they do, i just dont no if DBTT is it, i should point out that i had really really really bad feellings about arsenal last season and they went on to go the whole season undeafed, my gut insticnt is always wrong, ill like it, its oasis of course i will, but i just hope theirs more flow to it that HC(which to me was like someone stole 11 oasis songs and randomly burned them) |

My gut instinct goes the other way (incidentally my gut instinct on HC was bad). I think that as long as they don't sound like what you think an oasis song post '95 should sound like (like SCYHO and LBL on HC) then thats a good sign, and all we've heard so far seems to suggest that. I definitely think it's gonna be better than HC. How good that makes it is another question

"Andy Bell’s title track borrows its intro from Midnight Cowboy, although his other contribution, Keep the Dream Alive, inspired by David Essex in Stardust sounds like one to give short shrift."
Theres no 'title track' on the album. Has anyone seen any mention of a song called Don't Believe The Truth? Please.
"THIS sixth album had a nightmare gestation, beginning as a collaboration with dance producers Death in Vegas, being binned three times, taking in a terrible headlining Glastonbury slot and coming out 18 months behind schedule."
From what I can recall about the gestation of the album .. there was no schedule being kept.
"Note to Noel: throwing in a swirling siren sound isn’t enough to make a song exciting."
Not reviewer: Talking out of your arse isn't enough to make a newsworthy article. Listen to what you are reviewing and then make a honest un-biased opinion.
Stupid wanker.

I have no problem with negative reviews, but this one seems very dishonest. This is not uncommon... there was one Guns N' Roses gig in 2002 where they didn't play an encore (technical problems). There was a review mentioning how Paradise City (which wasn't played) sounded great!  Like Axl Rose said, "[sarcastic voice]what an exciting job! Write about what other people do for a living...[/sarcastic voice]". |

lol ok so DBTT is getting pretty good reviews so far, so this guy from the times has to wind things up. so what? like the chief said. "Oasis is like a religion, you either believe in it or you dont. We believe in it" |
