It's second single that's going to be released with all those stupid remixes rather than putting some top quality b-sides on it!!! One of the reasons oasis are so fucking great is cause of those b-side songs, like whatever, carry us all and so on and on.... wtf they are changing this?  at least would put i wanna live in a dream as one of those songs! |

Record Machine needs to be saved for the next album, its far too good to be put as a bside. I agree you, this remix shit is terrible. Rappers and Hip Hop people do Remixes. Remixes are just so NOT rock n roll, and most certainly NOT Oasis. It bugs me to know that Noel has said over the years how many songs they have just laying around, why not put them out Noel? Not all of them are good enough to be used on an album. Personally I think Noel is saving some of those songs for his solo album

well it allready has a good start... chemical brothers remix. Why not to pass it through all of those ibiza beat pricks and ruin the song at all? |

Record Machine isn't THAT good....at least not in it's current state. Surely to God before they start recording the next album Noel can write some better tunes.

i'm really disappointed by the lack of new b-sides.
there are so many live recordings/demos/new songs that could have been included.
Noel once said that Oasis weren't the sort of band just to put remixes as b-sides!
A recording of Wonderwall by Noel and Gem of the STC tour would have complimented I'm Outta Time nicely and boosted sales.
I will buy it for my collection but it's the first time ever i've had second thoughts about doing so.

Yeah, the remixes are a bit of a let-down for the hard core fan. Then again these days the concept of "the single" doesn't matter so much anymore, so it's not too bad.
Of course we'd like to hear new amazing songs from Oasis every 3 months like we used to, and when we can't, it makes us a bit sad.
But: think about if The Masterplan, Acquiesce, Half The World Away, etc. had been replaced by remixes back then, and then we'd gotten an entirely new Oasis album consisting of these tracks, as they would not have "wasted" them away as b-sides?!
+ I think some of the remixes are actually pretty good. Falling Down by Chemical Brothers, for example, that's a good one. And the alternative versions of The Turning and Rapture are also very good, I think.

One of the reasons oasis are so fucking great is cause of those b-side songs, like whatever, carry us all and so on and on.... wtf they are changing this? at least would put i wanna live in a dream as one of those songs! Wake up, Oasis havent released a single with two top quality b-sides for like 10 years. The Falling Down remix pisses all over 90% of the b-sides off HC and DBTT. And maybe, just maybe, the I'm Outta Time remix will be brilliant too. I'd much rather have a good remix than the likes of Wont Let You Down, Columbia (live), Dont Look Back In Anger (live), Sitting Here In Silence, The Quiet Ones, Thank You For The Good Times, She Is Love and so on and so on..... |

How many people buy singles nowadays though? I certainly don't, the last single of any band that I bought was D'You Know What I mean iirc.
I understand a minority will buy them as collectors items, but I suspect those people would be buying regardless. It's a shame we won't get to hear any new songs for a couple of years, but I'd rather they sacked the singles off and stuck additional tracks on the bonus CD like they have done.
I think too many people on here won't have a bad word said against the band, but at the same time I think the B-side debate is whinging for whingings sake.
The days of them releasing top B-sides is over anyway, there's only been Carry Us All, Shout It Out Loud, Eyeball Tickler and Let's All Make Believe of note in the past 10 years.

Well why do they even bother releasing singles in the firs place then? I mean surely it would be best for all to just scrap the whole concept. Look at what Bloc party are doing. Nah its just a grab for money! THATS WHAT I WANT! |

Nah its just a grab for money! THATS WHAT I WANT! I'd imagine they are contractually obliged to release X amount of singles per album. Nobody is forcing you to buy the singles. If you want to criticise them for money grabbing then what about the ticket price for the stadium gigs and arena tour - £45 x 500,000 tickets is a canny little earner compared to the DBTT stadium gigs. |

"The Quiet Ones" and "Sitting Here in Silence" are just awful. I barely consider them songs.
Agree, though - would rather have anything besides already heard remixes.

I would be a happy man just to see a great version of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out either from the Stop The Clocks tour or a studio version.

Quiet Ones and Sittin here in silence are just average song, the second one is more a excerpt than a song. Pass me Down the Wine is good, I found it at he same level, if not better, of The Boy with the Blues.
