sorry mate, the board was a mess with all the reviews in different threads and people complaining about not using this threads because it was "hard to find a review in between the comments" .... whatever. having them all in the first post seems easier for everyone  |

Well, Rollingstone is (and has been for years) a total joke when it comes to music...
But, Spin may be one of the best American music publications and generally are very positive on Oasis. They also aren't too much into hype and are usually fair, by focusing on the actual music.
And face it, not everything Oasis puts out is "Genius" or "Fookin' Mega!" anymore. Fact. Just because they get 3.5 stars doesn't mean the magazine (1) is still bitter about all the shit they always mention.

I have been browsing various mags in the uk today for DOYS reviews.
Q magazine - 3/5
Uncut magazine - 3/5
Mojo Magazine - 3/5
All said pretty much the same sort of thing - Excellent first 30mins then the rest is tedious.

so how do the reviews stack up to initial reviews of past albums? this is my first release paying attention to reviews. a bunch of 3/5 doesn't sound like much

after 15 years of being a fan of this band you just dont take that much stock in this type of shit really anymore its amusing at best , reviews positive or negative ,, i find it to be an annoyance that some twat gets paid to listen and write about music for a living ,,, seeing as most of them could not even write a song as good as little james

don't give a shit. Reviews mean nothing to me these days. I mean MG got these reviews. I love that it is dividing people. I don't give a fuck what some reviewer thinks, I personally love the album and can't wait to listen to it more and more as the years roll by.

I would like to have some one count how many times the NME have used the saying "dig the new breed". Probably somewhere in the thousands on one issue alone.

Just seen "Planet Sounds" review on Channel 4s teletext (P 345) - they have a good taste in music normally and back away from mainstream music - but they haven't been very fond of oasis recently.
Heres what i remember from the review (sorry if i've got anything wrong)
DBTT was a return with old sound - DOYS is a return to past glorys with a new direction
Most experimental since SOTSOG (which they say is crap) and album is based around FITB
Liam sounds mature
Sound based on Kings of leon and BRMC
Andys base features all the way through the album with a new looser sound
Highlight is TBWTL which sounds like a jam that could go on forever - liam sounds great
Solider on, Turning, GOYHHL, WFTR also get good mentions
Falling down is the only poor song - sounds "bland" and needed the chemical brothers remix
Theres one lighter in the air moment outta time - to quote "guess which song this sounds like?" (imagine) - no actual review about this song
Its not oasis starting all over again but it states this album will fit in well with the old stuff live and not bore the fans, step in the right direction without losing the sound of oasis that we all love.
8/10
Shock of the lightning got 8/10 on a different review too

Don't Believe The Truth consolidated their trademark strengths, and it's allowed them to break out of their comfort zone for the first time since Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants.
As bad as that album was, it had the clattering funk of In The Bushes, which is almost a template for this record.
It isn't exactly a dance album, but it is looser than Oasis have ever been.
Their love of recent big old American rock like Kings Of Leon and BRMC comes through on the guitars, more raucous and straight-up rock than in ages.
Liam Gallagher rises to the challenge, his vocals more rumbling and brooding than expected. In a good way, he's sounding his age, slowly turning into a grizzled Western hero.
That mix of gruff vocals and '70s rock best collides on The Turning, a terrific slice of Crazy Horse fire.
Then there's the Liam-penned Soldier On, the album's closer and the best bit of country-rock they've attempted.
The Noel-sung Waiting For The Rapture is similarly successful, lifted further by Andy Bell's low-slung funk bass. A theme of the album, it gives them plenty of new options.
That bass is used best on the album's highlight, To Be Where There's Life, and the one Gem Archer-written song.
Noel should encourage Gem to do more, if he's got others like it in storage.
A loose, louche groove peculiarly similar to Cornershop's Jullander Shere, it's a circular jam that could happily bubble along for hours as Liam makes full use of its mystical theme with one of his more shamanic vocals.
There's only one clunker, the anonymous Noel-sung mid-paced ballad Falling Down - it's easy to see why they got The Chemical Brothers to remix it to try to inject any life into its sagging plod.
It's redeemed by the country & western loping groove of High Horse Lady, Noel in wry Being Idle vocal mood.
And, of course, there's a lighters-out ballad. This one is I'm Outta Time, and you can guess what it sounds like.
So, virtually everything here could be added to the live set without anyone wandering off to the bar.
Most importantly, it's lively, engaged and offers plenty of fresh options for where to go next.
It's not exactly year zero. But who would want that from Oasis? For all the new styles, they remember to keep the hooks in there too. As enjoyable to hear as it plainly was to make. 8/10

www.gigwise.com/news/46324/oasis-dig-out-your-soul--the-gigwise-verdictOasis' 'Dig Out Your Soul' - The Gigwise Verdict Our track-by-track guide to the band's seventh album... * by Gigwise * 2008-09-25 11:37:15 # Oasis' 'Dig Out Your Soul' - The Gigwise Verdict Add to My Fav Bands List More Oasis * Watch Oasis - Lyla Oasis are finally back, and Gigwise has the essential track by track guide ahead of the release of their eagerly awaited seventh studio album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’. We can lay any uncomfortable anxieties to bed straight away because this album goes beyond the realms of what we expected. The elegantly flowing order creates a feeling of one continuous piece of music and gives a swift slap across the download a song here and there generation. So now for the tracks… 1. Bag It Up - A striking start to the album and a quick insight into the psychedelia that lies within. Faultless changes including the gritty serene pre chorus: “Someone tell me I’m dreaming/The freaks are rising up through the floor,” delivers in a way only Liam could. Then the onslaught of the sleazy charismatic chorus: “Lay your love on the fire when you come on in/ I got my hee-bee-jee-bees in a hidden bag,” adds the final flavour to a filling starter. 2. The Turning - A slightly reticent comedown from the raucous power of the previous five minutes - and an effortlessly flowing transition from it also. A simple patiently building rock ‘n’ roll belter that moves from calmly stroked chords into a cacophony chorus where Liam lets rip. 3. Waiting for the Rapture - John Desmore and Robby Krieger seem to meet the band for Noel Gallagher’s first vocal outing. It’s the glam and the sleaze that add sinister beauty to a crush of charm. Noel’s high vocal moments are forceful and bounce well with the sharp guitar that pops in and out. 4. The Shock Of The Lightning - The first single to be lifted and one all should be familiar with already. It’s the quick pace and the Keith Moon drum style solo that elevates this track from any monotony that may trouble the cynics. A powerful, driving song intertwined with drips of imposing organ. 5. I’m Outta Time - One of the most talked about tracks at the moment. Liam’s ode to Mr. Lennon does not disappoint. The opening “La La La La” put you off the scent for a moment before the handsome ballad comes alive with Liam’s heart felt vocal. His affection is apparent and it will add a tear to the more emotionally sensitive. “If I’m to fall would you be there to applaud/ Or would you hide behind them all,” rings the chorus and showcases Liam for the great songwriter he has finally become. The speech sample from Lennon that ends: “Are you going to be there when I get back,” is eerie and adds the final poignant stroke. 6. (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady - This song is all about the drums, clapping and the single cowbell note that brings them flourishing further down the line. Noel’s effect laid vocal is uncompromisingly dastardly genius. The song typifies the fantastic effort that has gone into the production on the album. An expertly chosen follow up from the beauty of the previous effort before the beach walking sounds move into the oncoming brilliance. 7. Falling Down - This is one of ‘those songs’. The orchestra promotes a yearning for big things and delivers sophisticatedly. The drums again play the key role in the song. The jumping quick beat juxtaposed with a dark yet soft Noel vocal washes a sense of awe over the whole thing. There is something even more emotionally attaching then Liam’s ballad, and is certainly one of Noel’s best in years both vocally and structurally. 8. To Be Where There’s Life - The Eastern musical influences are apparent throughout but what elevates this Gem track is the powerful Liam vocal that dances coherently rather then a sneeze of confusion. The bass line typifies a Gallagher strut and marches on authoritatively. The plunge back into the verse and the scream of “Dig Out Your Soul” is the intelligent equivalent of an hour listening to Stephen Fry. 9. Ain’t Got Nothin’ - This is Liam standing right in your face scowling with frightening intent. It’s The Who all over with the Oasis magic sprinkled on. A short number but grand nonetheless. 10. The Nature Of Reality - Maracas shake and then in comes the Beatles ‘Revolution’/’Heltter Skelter’ style single note ringing before dropping into an 80s stadium rock beat that oozes the classic British feel. Imagine John Bonham meeting Pete Willis for a jam ensuring there’s enough reverb making headway to keep Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tuffnell happy. 11. Soldier On - A plodding groovy beat under an echoy Liam vocal climaxes the album with the same feel as a soundtrack behind credits. The ‘Baba O’Reily’-esque synthesiser stepping in along with the melodica end the album with a sense of the close of a dream. It’s trippy, it’s haunting, and it’s brilliant once again. To summarise, this is an album that truly takes hold of all expectations and desires and delivers a punch that will not only shake your bones – but any one who manages to stand in a near radius of you. Get pre-ordering now. A History of Oasis Studio Albums:

www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/sep/28/oasis.popandrockCD of the week Oasis, Dig Out Your Soul (Big Brother) £13.99 * Kitty Empire * o Kitty Empire o The Observer, o Sunday September 28 2008 o Article history These are intriguing times for Britain's most totemic rock band, even for those immune to their powers. After years of entrenched positions, Oasis's Gallagher brothers have swapped public roles. Once the pied piper of lairiness, Liam now jogs every morning, cooks salmon and retires early. For so long the elder statesman, Noel continues to enjoy getting messy out on the town. Even though the debauchery of his Supernova Heights days is avowedly behind him, he's written a song about the high jinks of getting high, with the album opener, 'Bag It Up'. As their new record's title suggests, Oasis are supplementing the safe rockers - like the singularly unshocking single 'The Shock of the Lightning' - with feints towards what you might call supernova depths. Or rather, an easily assimilable facsimile of depth that doesn't stray too far from the Beatles. Their seventh album is persuasively psychedelic in parts, however, with more attention than usual to grooves, drones and Fab Four orientalism. This is good news. Dubbed 'krautpop' by Noel, 'Falling Down' actually replays the Chemical Brothers's 'Setting Sun' (on which Noel sang) only with fewer beats, and more haze. Another track even sceptics might respect is 'Get Off Your High Horse Lady', a bluesy spaghetti Western dirge. Unfortunately, the psychedelics turn into a bad trip on Archer's 'To Be Where There's Life', a guitar-free, sitar-sodden Eastern pastiche. From there, you make your own fun, bingo-spotting the references to the Beatles' era - revolutions in heads, butterflies on wheels and the like. There are more giggles, thanks to Liam, who seemingly can't write a song without the word 'song' in it: it recurs in 'I'm Outta Time', his most vulnerable ballad yet, 'Ain't Got Nothing', and album closer 'Soldier On'. Most priceless of all is the conviction with which Liam voices Andy Bell's song, 'The Nature Of Reality': 'The nature of reality/Is pure subjective fantasy', sneers the singer as he once might have hymned cigarettes and alcohol. Intriguing times, indeed.
