OASIS
Don't Believe the Truth
Sony BMG
****

If I told you that this was the best Oasis album in 10 years, would you believe me? It's the truth: the Gallagher brothers have dug deep into their rock 'n' roll hearts and rediscovered something they'd lost around the time of Be Here Now. Gone are the pompous self-satisfaction, the crashing complacency and the lazy songwriting; back are all the things we liked about Oasis in the first place: the cheeky pilfering of classic licks, the no-one-can-touch-us attitude and the straight-ahead, unpretentious approach to rock that made their borrowed riffs sound fresh in the first place. There's little of the lumpen, bloated blues of old in evidence on Lyla (with its blatant lift from The Stones' Street Fighting Man), Guess God Thinks I'm Abel and Keep the Dream Alive, old-fashioned cribs that crackle with fresh pop power. Liam's songwriting has come on in leaps and bounds (he has written three tracks here), while whimsical ditty The Importance of Being Idle is not too embarrassing, and the Lennonesque closing ballad, Let There be Love, is spiced up by the presence of Ringo's son Zak Starkey on drums. It's the rebirth of dadrock

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

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

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
