Oasis: Don't Believe The Truth

Released: May 31, 2005
Genre: Rock
Number Of Tracks: 11
From the tambourines and jangling guitars to the tinny pre-hippie philosophizing, it's an album that thinks the way forward is by looking back.

Sound: To start, the sound of the CD at times can be sketchy. Perhaps it's a technique to add reverberation, but on such tracks as "Mucky Fingers," the audio effects make the music a bit convoluted. Past the technical issues, the sound of Oasis is slightly different from before. While the parallels to the Beatles are still noticeable in tracks like "Love Like A Bomb," other, assorted tracks sport a new sound. In a guitar perspective, theyve even experimented with new chord patterns away from the same repetition as before (which we all loved anyhow). [4]

Lyrics: I have to say that Oasis was never the most poetic. The lyrics for "Don't Believe The Truth" aren't amazing, but they do hint at subtle relations to religion. In the title "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel," references to heaven and death, and a new overwhelming sense of pious undertones, Oasis might be hinting at a deeper meaning to songs, which isnt a bad thing. For those singing the lyrics, there is noticeable change too. Though most of the songs are short, the singing variety on the CD is pleasant. Noel and Liam are complimentary to the music in the songs they sing; Noel now has some godly pitch he can reach ("The Importance Of Being Idle") and Liam can still sound Beatles-esque (except "A Bell Will Ring," which seems sketchy). Overall, not a bad job singing at all. [4]

Overall Impression: Overall, the Oasis' CD is better than Heathen Chemistry, which I disliked. Theres more lyrical value and while the voices may have been sound boarded, there are no complaints for the end product (with 1 exception). Other good tracks not mentioned are "Let There Be Love" and "Lyla," their single. Only reason it doesn't get straight 5? It'll never compare with the Oasis of the past. I feel blasphemous rating this better or the same as Morning Glory or Definately Maybe. [4]

Thanks for this.

It is probably the most objective review I have seen yet. But I think a 4.5 is warranted.

That is why I don't like reviews of 1-5 stars. Not enough room.

Base everything from 1-10.

Then DM would get say 10-10
MG 910
DBTT 8/10

etc.

That would make it easier for him to like it w/out 'blasphemy'.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
