Wow, check out all the backlash Jody Rosen has taken. It's worth the time to go and read some of the "reader" reviews after his/her review. All 4-5 stars. Has RS ever pulled a review in favor of a new one?
Makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing.
It's tough being a fan of the Gallaghers here in the states.

They always pull reviews when they fuck up. They systematically re-write music history in RS. Thehave a new be here review up for a few yrs. They usually wait a few years to redo the reviews so no one notices or caresbut the record is altered

I read somewhere about reviews of "classic" albums that they bashed at the time, and years later went back and basically apologized for it.

This should be one of those times, but for a magazine that LOVE the Jonas brothers, Paris Hilton, Jack Johnson, Metallica, Fallout Boy, and all sorts of other garbage rock - this doesn't surprise me...

...but it shows how out of touch Rolling Stone is.

They kind of re reviewed be here now and whats the story. They didn't physically do so, but Be Here Now was reviewed higher than What's the story, then years later for the 500 greatest albums of all time, What's The Story made the cut at like 363 or something. Things didn't add up.

UPDATE * Well, I spoke too soon, those slimeballs have infact re-reviewed both albums since the 500 list, because now both albums are 4/5 stars. I know Be Here Now used to be 4.5/5 and I thought Whats The Story was 3.5/5.

I think you're right. By so desperately trying to be "in touch", Rolling Stone magazine only end up with a publication that is void of any depth or valuable analysis. When they get it wrong, they end up with reviews that bare little correspondence to the albums that are being discussed. I don't think many people who listen to DOYS will read RS' review and think, 'yeh, these guys are spot on.'

They are out of touch with reality.

Shoutbox

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

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

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

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 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
