I am casting a strong vote FOR.

I am curious to see where this ends up. It seems to me an overwhelming amount of fans love it for the most part. However, it shocks me the extent of how negative some so called harcore fans can be. Sure I understand that we wouldnt want an albums worth of agn's, or the lat 3 songs are not quite as brilliant as the first half but to slag the whole album and call them Beatles rip offs etc.
If you are a hardcore Beatles fan and you love Oasis, you hardly walk into a room where one or the other is blaring and get confused about which is playing? There are a whole litany of bands who dont really have their own identifiable sound and really do sound like the Beatles ie Cotton Mather ' Kontiki', Guided by voices (just a couple off Bee thousand) and counless others. I like these bands but even look at Glasvegas who I also like and I could give countless examples of 50's bands they have ripped off note for note! And the whole lyrics suck thing I just dont get? Lyrics have never been about what Oasis are about? It's not like the lyrics were that brilliant on the first two? Have lyrics really mattered in RNRoll since the early days of Do wop?

It's fifteen years in and I think some peoples expectations are so high for Oasis as a result of the first two.How many bands last this long(seeDirty Pretty things and The Libs, La's, Roses, etc.)

I am quite happy to be getting songs like The Turning, Bag it up, wftr, tsotl, Falling Down and if you dont like agn on the album in this digital age just substitute Liams singing LDSMD or Eyeball tickler Demo or even BWTB. And if that doesnt make up for the last couple throw in STC and Record Machine.

As an American fan who has been there since the first note of DM and given that the music scene over here that has throughout the past decade been appalling( notable exceptions: Strokes 1st, Brmc 1st album, the new Vampire weekend,etc) I am quite pleased that Oasis are still around and appreciate the overall legacy as it may be awhile before we see a suitable replacement.

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

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

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
