Well as far as negative goes... I really don't like TBWTL... Sounds fuckin' hippy to me and boring... Stupid title as well... Not crazy about GOYHHL but it still better than the previous... All the rest is either very good, good or ok so no complaints... i cant beleive you dont like tbwtl ,its a fucking class tune |

A lot of people are always comparing the new albums they release to DM & WTSMG. Oasis will NEVER Release an album as good as these two. FACT. This to me is a concept album of trying something a little bit different, It's not the best album we've heard by any means but It's certainly not the fucking worst. The only real note worthy complaints are WFTR, It just sounds boring to me, like it's trying to be something it's not. I prefer the alternate version to be honest. Other than that there's enough songs on there to be content with.

i think it's the best what the NEW Oasis has ever produced... i mean time after 1999 by the word new.
all thos who are expecting the same feeling like on the first three albums might be disappointed a bit. but this album is definitely their best for almost 10 years. DBTT is no comparison.
the negative thing to me is maybe to much Beatles/Lennon on I'm outta time and heavily overproduced vocals on some tracks

This album has 4 great tunes on it, the rest are instantly forgettable. Wow it feels like 1997 all over again!  |

I think the album is ok. NOR and AGN are tripe and overall most of the songs are forgettable aside from a select few. After all i read here about Bag it up, and WFTR i thought they'd be great, but found myself bored quite quickly by them. The rest is good and I like the album more than the previous two. oh yeah one more thing - i find the 'shake your ragdoll' line quite annoying for some reason.  |

I never thought i would say this about an Oasis ablum but IMO this is the worst Oasis ablum yet. Yes i'm a die hard Oasis fan and yes i will continue to support the band but this is my honest feed back.
Liam, Andy and Gem need to stop making their own songs and let Noel do what he does best. Although i can say Liams songs on this ablum are his best they are still lacking.
Honestly and i apologize but here is what i think track by track. (this may come as a surprise for a lot of you who know me but as a true Oasis fan i need to give feedback and not settle for mediocrity)
Bag it up - this song just drags on to me. Honestly i get about a minute thirty seconds in it and can't take anymore. I actually and this is sad prefer magic pie to this.
The Turning- to me this song is just dreary and drags along like Bag it up. It starts to take off during the chorus but then the lyrics just kill it. From there it is just the same over and over. The only highlight to this song is Noel's guitar solo in the middle.
Waiting for the rapture- To put it simple this song is ok but the guitar riff seems lazy. To me the song is a little catchy but goes nowhere.
The Shock of the Lightning- Good beat fast paced a decent song but not a song that i would tell my friends who love music, you have got to hear this. Sadly enough it is one of the better songs on the ablum.
I'm out of time- Great song! Love the way it starts Liams best song yet! Definitly can see why it made it to Dig out your soul and is on a different playing field than 8 of 11 songs on DOYS.
Get Off Your - really do not like the vocal effects will more than likely never listen to this song agian. Filler IMO
Falling Down- When i first hear this song pre ablum release i was so excited. Definitly the best song on the ablum. To bad the rest of the ablum does not live up to Falling Down.
To be where there's life- Nice into to start off but from there goes into the same boreing paths as a majority of songs on DOYS. Chorus bugs the hell out of me for some reason.
Ain't got nothing- IMO a song that should have never of seen the light of day. Some where inside of me i wish Liam had lost the paper he wrote it on. I can't believe Noel let a crap song like this on one of their ablums.
The nature of reality- another boreing song that drags on and goes nowhere. Filler
Soilder on - I could see this song being on a good Oasis ablum. Although i think it could of used some more tweaking. This is one of three songs i would have kept on DOYS.
Of course as to be expected the best songs to come from DOYS were not even on the ablum a Oasis tradition still preserved.
I believe in all- Should have been a single from DOYS but it will be for ever lost as a another great b-side that only Oasis fans will know. Crap like The turning, WFTR, AGN and BIU made it on the ablum but not this???WTF this is Oasis
Boy with the Blues- Ok so Liam writes possibily one of his best songs yet and it isn't on the ablum. WTF This should have been on DOYS.
Further more Record Machine and Stop the Clocks would have been preferable to half the crap on DOYS.
This Oasis ablum really let me down. I did not feel this way about any of their other ablums. I think Andy and Gem need to be sacked from writing lyrics and just be told to shut up and play thier instruments. Liam should be told you get two songs and the rest from Noel. What scares me even more is that Noel says the demo's for the next ablum are already done and i will have to wait the next three years to see if it is the same as the rest of the crap off of DOYS.
This is not Oasis's come back ablum! This is not even close. This is lazy, dribble. This is one turd i won't feel bad flushing...it felt good coming out but is not worth keeping.
Just my opinon.....

I hope nobody starts getting at you for your opinions, because i think thats an honest and fair post with some good points, im not as disappointed as you with the album, what annoys me the most is what the album could have been with certain tracks being replaced, i have even made my own compiliation cd which includes record machine and BWTB etc.. and im listening to that more than DOYS

I think i'm going to follow your lead on that idea! I'm going to put together my own DOYS. There is ceartinly enough new material to do that with. As far as my opinon goes i don't care what anyoen thinks but as a true fan i have an obligation to say something when it needs to be said. One thing i can tell everyone is that this ablum definitly will not be big in America. I'm pretty upset by DOYS. I waited forever for it to come out got all pumped up and it turned out to be the only ablum so far that i can not stand. What i loved about Oasis was you could put on one of their ablums and listen to it straight through. Every once and a while you would have to hit skip, (cough little james) but other than that, that was it. The thing that scares me most is i hear so many Oasis fans saying they like it. I honestly think it is because it is new they are hyped up and of course have reputations to live up to on these boards. I'd be willing to bet a majoirty really are not to found of the ablum. When i hear best ablum yet or best ablum ever i have to call bull shit. Don't get me wrong for a indie band who never put a record out before this ablum could be just ok. Unfortinitly my expectations for Oasis is much higher. |

I have high expectations for them, i do think this album is better than DBTT and HC, but i think i prefer BHN and SOTSOG to this,
The most annoying part is that us hardcore fans know just how good they are and that there is better songs that could of been on the album, but for the majority of the public and press, they dont have a clue about BWTB or record machine
Anyway they are still the best band in the world in my opinion, but are a bit shit when it comes to track selection

I enjoyed SOTSOG also as well as BHN. Only thing is i don't think DOYS measures up to them. It really kills me that they leave their best songs off like record machine, boy with the blues, stop the clocks and i believe in all. 90% of the world will neve rhear these songs if not released because most new Oasis fans won't even get through DOYS. For the record Oasis are still the best band in the world it's just i really think thye fucked up with this record. Although this could be one of those ablums that is meant to be played live. |

It might just be that,
I think next time round should be an album that also focuses on getting themselves new fans too as this album is for the die hards, not that they need any new fans but the type of music an album like that would be, well it would be oasis sounding, i know you could say that HC and DBTT are oasis sounding but i have got the feeling Noel has got some belters stashed away that wouldnt have fitted on DOYS

With the talk of Noel doing a solo ablum i'm extremly excited but it worries me what that would do to Oasis. My personal opinon on DOYS is that Sardy is responsible for the direction the ablum went. I have listen to DOYS for like the 20th time now hopeing it was a grower but i still can not find much to like about it. One thing is though it was not an understatment when they said the ablum was groovey. |

At first it was clear that this album set itself apart from the past. I thought it was just going to be "ok". After a couple listens I was pleased how much the album grew on me. I think Liam did a great job with I'm Outta Time. Bag It Up should be on the setlist for this tour (in my humble opinion). And I know TBWTL has been getting some bad reviews, but it honestly makes me groove. Which is weird. Oasis never made me groove. Is that a bad thing? Regardless, I like it. I do feel that Soldier On is lacking something. All in all I'm pretty pleased with it. DBTT may have to remain my fav though.

after dbtt i expected them to deliver a real "album" this time. I agree that dbtt seems like a collection of songs rather than an album. And i suppose i got a real album, but if i'd known this would mean that noel would pick songs like ain´t got nothin, nature of, high horse - and poor versions of "to be where" and "waiting for the", then i would have prefered another dbtt. We know for a fact that all the members of oasis have better songs to offer than these. I feel sorry for gem and andy- ktda and abwr are two of my favorite post 90s oasis songs. Now everybodys slagging them off because noel wanted those songs to be on the record.
1.I heard andy say that he wouldn't have chosen tnor himself,
2.the idea of leaving guitars off tbwtl spoils whats already only a half decent tune(that bassline is cool, but seriously every bass player in the world has made something similar at some point in their careers),
3-leave high horse and aint got nothin off the record - put in record machine and stop the clocks bwtb or another decent tune,
4-and use the alternate version of waiting for the rapture.
This record should have been so good, the material is there - but oasis spoiled it for themselves..once again some might say

i pretty much agree with all your points jedimasterg..wow, almost 1:1 to my current opinion about DOYS.
some of the songs just piss me off
and "you lot just dont understand the music" is not really a valid argument, is it?

The idea that this could be Oasis' worst album yet is so bizarre that I think it might be a wind up. I can just about see that someone who prefers poppier music might not like this but I can't see how anyone who likes guitar-based rock could think that this is their worst album. SOTSOG and HC are nowhere near it. DBTT has weaker rockers (BIU, TT and TSOTL miles better than TUTS, MF and Lyla) and ballads (IOT >>> LTBL) and most of the rest is at least on a par. And it's much more listenable than BHN.
Personally, I think this is a rock solid album from start to finish. Great production, great vocals, plenty of menace and melancholy and it all fits together really well, far better than their other recent albums. I reckon there are 5 stand-out songs (TT, TSOTL, IOT, FD and maybe BIU) but I also really like WFTR, HHL and TBTWL. AGN is a good blast of rock in the middle of the groove-based section of the album. TNOR and SO are less exciting but still listenable. If either had a big chorus, they could have turned this from a really good to a classic album.

DOYS is a great album, its doing its job. Alot of people are really 'digging' this album. I think TSOTL, Im Outta Time, Bag It Up are the best songs on the album

Okay, this is what I think... Dig Out Your Soul will probably end up being Oasis' most forgettable album, unless they continue this style of music.
The reason being is 'cause the album really has 'no hits' as to what Noel stated in some magazine, and that should honestly be the opposite when it comes to Oasis. Up until now, Oasis have always produced some kind of hit song that eventually becomes a prime tune the band gets known for.
For instance, DM and WTSMG = tons of hits... BHN = had hits that suffered from bad production but popular nonetheless... SOTSOG = one or two... HC = one, huge hit... and DBTT = a few of 'em.
I mean, besides maybe TSOTL, the word 'catchy' doesn't really strike me when it comes to DOYS, which I know that wasn't the idea for the album, but when you're a band known for Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, in the eyes of the public, then that is a major blow to your favortism.
So I'm not totally disappointed with the album, I see it right up there... not with DM or WTSMG... but next to DBTT and SOTSOG. But to be honest, it's a different album, so even though it's placed next to other Oasis albums, it really is the next chapter for the band, kind of like what SOTSOG was to BHN.
