I guess "I probably fall somewhere between 3 and 4. I get the point of letting some time pass between the albums to let them "breathe" and to reinvigorate your fanbase (old and new alike) but 3 1/2 years (dbtt to new album in aug)? With 4 songwriters in the group?
Honestly, had I told you a week after the release of heathen chemistry in 2002 that we'd have just 1 more studio album by the spring of 2008, what would you have said?

Sometimes its cool to wait,, I mean, if the World Cup was every year it wouldn`t be that cool isn` t. And some bands that release a record for year kinda bores the audience.. except the beatles of course

I wish they'd stop touring and just focus on albums.

i guess what seanpp wants to say is that it's the touring which makes the gap b/w albums so huge... not only the 12+ months of being on the road but also the years of recuperation they (let's be honest: noel) need(s) after a tour.
i have mixed feeling about a world tour: these days liam live sounds like axl rose suffering from high blood pressure.
and the production, and maybe even the songwriting, of their recordings would generally benefit from a bit more time and dedication
on the other hand, noel is not the kind of musician that would give up touring so easily..he might consider it to be an essential part of being in a r'n'r band

i personally think that touring is huge.. No matter what Noel says he enjoys Touring the a lot. He did the stop the clocks tour. Noel won't give up touring he might cut down on it but it won't end it all together

It's just how the band are, and I don't think they plan on changing that anytime soon so we all will just have to wait. |

hey c'mon, new songs are great, but the first thing that comes to my mind when i hear them is "wow, I've gotta hear this live!!".... I mean, live music it's amazing, it's exactly where you see how good is Oasis as a band... i mean, hearing noel's solos vibrating through a whole arena, Liam's voice making you feel like a rock'n'roll bastard!! that's all that matters! Maybe they take a little too long to write their albuns, but we don't need to be that much radical... I believe touring is absolutely essential, music is not only about sitting in a studio with all kinds of device... it's about showing what you can do with your "bare hands" for an entire audience...

how awful would it be if for some disaterous reason the new album had to be postponed till nextyear, after everyone getting their hopes up for so long, and what if they didn't even tell us till the summer, when the album is expected to come out! what a situatttiiooon that would be...that would sorta being like knowing you've got at least ANOTHER year for the next album, well I suppose if you knew back in 02 you'd only get 1 album in the next 5-6 years you'd be pissed immensely aswell, i suppose they delivered at the end of that wait though!

Just because Oasis didn't put an album out doesn't mean it's the end of the world.  |

Not sure how long you have been a fan for but there was not as long of a wait between DM/WTSMG and WTSMG/BHN as there has been since |

The wait between BH Not sure how long you have been a fan for but there was not as long of a wait between DM/WTSMG and WTSMG/BHN as there has been since Became a fan after MG came out. So yeah, I kinda am used to waiting on them to put an album out. At least since SOTSOG they like to drag their feet when doing an album. Sucks but after this long you sorta get used to it. And like I said earlier, there's a world of other bands to discover out there while Oasis are doing their thing on their 1,2, or 3 year break in between albums. |

Yeah I hear ya To be honest there is nothing out there right now that really turns my crank. Nothing like the anticipation of a new Oasis record Sometimes I wish I had no inet so I wouldn't listen to the leaks. Hearing the new album for the first time when you throw it in the CD player in the car was so thrilling I'm too weak though |

this is how it works for established acts. it's the corporate world we're living in. of course they are not writing as many songs as they could be writing but then again, most of them are over 40, they have families and they're bloody rich.
That being said Oasis gave us a new album in 2005. They toured until 2006, they released a greatest hits, in 2007 we had a tour film and they did like a dozen acoustic shows all over the world and they recorded a new album to be released in 2008, they've been doing a lot for fans imo
with 2008's release they will have released 4 studio albums this decade. Not bad imo

very, very harsh to criticise Noel's work ethic, imo. over his career i dont think there has been any artist who has ever worked harder.

Noel probably got traumatized from Be Here Now which was recorded in a few weeks right after the WTSMG tour and he claims to hate the result, such as do the critics...
but hey, c'mon, imagine if we were Guns and Roses fans!! ;D

i think ur bein a bit harsh, in the space of 6 years and 1 month (if it gets released in august) we will have had 3 albums. thats not bad goin at all reali.and we've had the best of & LDSMD. theoretically, you can include the entire existence of the band and slant the "stats" however you choose. My stance was just going off the last six years, and the facts, well, are the facts. They don't have to "world tour" every album (and I'd like to see them here in the states as much as anyone). The way I see it, if they toured every other album over here, I'd see them as often as I do now (once evey three or four years) if they put a record out once every two years. I know this will never happen, but a man can dream, can't he? I think more recording would actually do them a lot of good critically. You know they're not going to be putting out shit albums, and, in say about the next ten years time, if they put out 4 solid albums with another great one or two mixed in , their legacy would be sealed...beyond that of just a "nineties band" as so many unfortunately view them...even critically. They would have the monstrous apex of 95-96, the "rebirth" of 2005 and then a decade of consistent, quality output. Circle completed. Ten or eleven songs by these four guys every 24 months? doable. |

Very doable, but I can understand they dont have the buzz of youth and everything they did starting out to keep them going. World tours really knacker them, okay well 2 years is more than enough to rest, but as we all know, they have a hint of laziness, but I believe the new album will be full of complete "belters".
I wouldnt wanna see them go into the studio every two years for the sake of it and consistantly release 10 years worth of Heathen Chemistry's, I like a few songs on it but its me least fave, that wouldnt be the best way for them to cap it all off.
