Again, very positive! 'Dig Out' the new OasisJonathan Sims, Staff Writer Published On: 09/23/2008 The Gallagher brothers of the British rock band Oasis have done it again with their upcoming seventh studio album, “Dig Out Your Soul.” This album is to Oasis like “Revolver” was to The Beatles. Completely filled to the brim with songs that are guaranteed to rock your face off, make you think about life and feel completely satisfied with the money that you’ve spent. Now let us dissect this amazing album, shall we? “Dig Out Your Soul” starts things out with the hard rockin’ riffs of “Bag It Up.” The first track is brought to us by the mind of Noel Gallagher, lead guitarist, and the man who has brought us such great hits as “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Champagne Supernova”, and “Wonderwall.” “Bag It Up” is one of those songs where everyone is going to have a different interpretation of what it means, but they all can agree that there is something about it that makes you want more. It’s an absolutely amazing song to kick things off with. After you get the toe-tapping drum beat of track two, “The Turning,” out of your head, it’s time to experience the glory that is track three. This incredible tune is called “Waiting for the Rapture” and is, in my opinion, the best song on the album, and just to let you know that wasn’t an easy choice to make for me. As Noel wails in the opening line, you know that you are in for a treat. His melodic-yet-skin-tingling tone goes perfectly with the crunchy riffs of his guitar. It’s definitely one you’ll be listening to time and time again. Track four, “The Shock of the Lightning,” is the first single from this incredible album. I’m not going to waste time on this one because it is already released, and you can easily do a little digging on YouTube. Trust me, you need to hear it for yourself. “Dig Out Your Soul” also contains what might be the next “Imagine” as Liam Gallagher (the lead singer) channels the spirit of John Lennon in track five with his melodic tune “I’m Outta Time.” It’s probably the slowest tune on the album, but it is sincerely a masterpiece. Again, I love some gut-busting rock, but I’m a softy for slow songs too. This one will indeed go down in history. Noel turns it back up in his rhythmic, straight out of the Wild West, steel guitar-infused “(Get off Your) High Horse Lady” on track six. This one is my second favorite on the album, but again it was a very close call. The next track (track seven) is another song you can find on the Internet called “Falling Down.” After that is “To Be Where There’s Life,” featuring Oasis guitarist Gem Archer. This song is very psychedelic and will mesmerize you with the ancient sounds of Indian Sitars. Track nine, “Ain’t Got Nothing On Me,” is another hard rocking psychedelic tune for your listening pleasure. Bassist Andy Bell brings us track ten called “The Nature of Reality.” This one is by-the-book rock, and it truly does rock! Fast guitar riffs, slow drum beats, this one is sure to be an instant classic. Finally we end our journey with the final track on “Dig Out Your Soul.” This little treasure is called “Soldier On.” Musically this is the most “Oasis-ish” song on the album, but they change up the vocals by adding a predominate echo giving Liam’s vocals a haunting presence that won’t soon escape your head. My final thoughts: Go buy the album when it hits shelves Oct. 7. You won’t regret it. Direct Link: www.uab.edu/kscope/kaleidoscope-article-800.html |

you said that many times, you're very repetitive. do you wanna start a new thread about it?  how hard is it to look around and use the reply button? and there's only one 30 pages thread and its about the leak. all the other treads get buried by the second with new threads |

The problem is, for me at least, that people will post a review (or whatever it may be), then a load of useless posting takes over, then another good review will get posted, and virtually buried inbetween all the comments. I'm not really into having to sift thru pages of comments to get what i'm looking for....
Is there a way of keeping all the "reviews" at the top? or on page 1?
Sorry for the upsetting anyone.

oh, sorry, what i meant was, is there a way of putting all the posts of reviews inside of the thread on the first page of that particular thread?
eq: this thread has one review, but if i were to post another one in this thread, could it be automatically posted right after the initial one, inside the same thread?
Not sure if I am making sense...

Not sure if I am making sense... In this thread you can. you have to modify your own post. but there's no way a new post in an existing thread can go in the top |

In the 'Official Review Thread', on the first psge, you could index the reviews.
E.G:
Good Reviews:
url of review
Bad Reviews:
url of review

Our goal is to make the forum easy to browse and to have a maximum of interesting threads on the first page.
If we let people post similar threads, at some point, the first page is gonna be packed with them and all the different threads and topics will be relagated on 2nd, 3rd, 4th... page.
How interesting is that?
It's not. And I'm sure you'd be the first one to complain about the board being messy and hard to browse.
The first post of a thread can be edited to a certain extent. There's a maximum number of letters allowed. Pinning a thread for reviews, lyrics or appreciation is the best solution to date.
This forum has been going on for 5 years, which is huge for a fan forum. There are many reasons for that and one of them is the way it's moderated. It's not our first leak/release.

mmmmhmmmm <---(i could be a mod too look) Have you ever been a mod on any type of forum? It's a thankless job that people don't get paid for. Maybe you should show some respect and stop your moaning. |
