Now that we're over half a year from release, we've had a general DOYS review, but how about song by song? Of course our opinions have changed with more listens, and should now be balancing out.....
Bag It Up: 9/10 - Still Love it
The Turning: 9/10 - Not as special as the first few listens, but still damn good
Waiting for the Rapture: 9/10 - Really has grown on me
The Shock of The Lightning: 10/10 - So fucking good, has grown even more on me. Vintage Oasis.
I'm Outta Time: 7.5/10 - Sometimes I like it, sometimes I think it's pretending to be something it's not.
High Horse: 7/10 - Interesting, but skip most of the time
Falling Down: 8.5/10 - Great lyrics, but sometimes feels flat
To Be Where There's Life: 8/10 - Live version is much better
Ain't Got Nothing: 6.5/10 (or 7) - Still don't know what to think about this one
The Nature of Reality: 5/10 - Pure shit.
Soldier On: 7/10 - Can take it or leave it
Conclusion: I'm still digging it almost 7 months on. Really solid record. And it shits all over HC, which I still hold is Oasis' worst record to date, bar a few tunes (mainly the singles).

I'm Outta Time 8.5/10. Still amazing
Soldier On 8.5/10. Brilliant song
The Turning 8/10. Great song
Falling Down 8/10. Great song but its gotten dry with the AA mix out there
Shock of the Lightning 8/10. Great energy. good single.
Bag It Up 7.5/10. Good but not special
Ain't Got Nothing 7/10. I give the demo a 7.5, maybe an 8..
To Be Where There's Life 7/10. Far better live
Waiting For the Rapture 6.5/10. Meh. alternate is better.
(Get Off) Your High Horse Lady 6.5/10. Catchy but just filler.
The Nature of Reality 6.5/10. Fun to play on GH4 is all it really has going for it.
As I've said, its growing a tad stale, in danger of slipping below DBTT (MG, DM, BHN, DOYS, DBTT, SOTSOG, HC).

BIU-9.5/10-classic but different Oasis
TT-10/10- Still my favorite track and still one of the best Oasis songs in my mind. Is it a classic like Live Forever nope but its up there with GLIO and other classic Oasis tunes.
WFTR-9/10-One of Noel's most under rated tunes. the alt is a 10/10 for me just stunning.
TSOTL-10/10- its only grown with me over time. The drum solo gets me everytime
IOT-8/10- Hardly the classic that some of us where expecting. Sounds rather unfinished but its got a good vocal, refrain, guitar break, piano, and its still a great tune just not a classic.
HHL-7.5/10- Interesting and one of the most interesting oasis songs. Noel just gets it done.
TBWTL-8/10- Maybe my favorite Gem song (only Eyeball tickler comes close). Great feel and groove and one of the best basslines from the boys.
FD-10/10- Production, lyrics, structure, to everything else one of Noel finest achievements
AGN-6/10-Zak's drums and the mellotron help save this one
TNOR-6/10- Great Liam sneer and fun solo but its just got a major shitty melody
SO-7/10-Pretty solid not the best closer but its a decent song and closes the actual album itself pretty well.

I haven't listened to this album enough to "rank" all the songs on it.
The worst album they've ever made except one good song, Falling Down.

Soldier On: 7/10 - Can take it or leave it After caning this album, (I've listened to it or part of it at least once a day and probably more since it leaked) I think the first four songs are really special, I don't think there are 4 stronger songs in a row I like better on any Oasis record. The other 7 songs, I feel the same as the OP feels about Soldier On, I can take 'em or leave 'em depending on how I'm feeling. For me. they range from distinctly average ( my least favourites are Ain't Got Nuttin', I'm Outta Time) to very good (Falling Down) and the remaining 4 are somewhere in between. But I find everything after Shock of the Lightning difficult to get very excited about on a consistent basis and a lot of times skip many of them. I've only listened to the moribund studio version of To Be Where There's Life about twice. This was the biggest missed opportunity on the album when you compare it with the raunchy, breathtaking live version. So I guess my feeling would be, putting the songs into 3 groups Songs out of Noel's top drawer: Bag It Up The Turning Waiting for the Rapture Shock of the Lightning Good to perfectly acceptable: Falling Down Get Off Your High Horse Lady The Nature of Reality Soldier On Average to poor, depending on my tolerance: To Be Where There's Life [only the studio version] I'm Outta Time Ain't Got Nothin' |

Bag It Up: 7/10 - Alright, bit different, start sounds like Nickelback FFS
The Turning: 8/10 - Good, but not a classic as some people on here claim
Waiting for the Rapture: 8/10 - One of the best on album, still prefer alternate version though
The Shock of The Lightning: 9/10 - Thought it was crap when first heard it but has grown on me. A good Oasis lead-off single
I'm Outta Time: 8/10 - Far too Lennonesque and hate the la, la, las at beginning but a very good tune, one of best three on album
High Horse: 7/10 - Ok, bit different but nothing special
Falling Down: 9/10 - One of Noel's best songs for a while
To Be Where There's Life: 6/10 - Bit lame, don't like the sitar
Ain't Got Nothing: 5/10 - Acceptable as a B-side. At a push
The Nature of Reality: 4/10 - Awful
Soldier On: 4/10 - Dire
Works out an average of 6.5 for the album which sounds about right to me.

Anyone who's given TSOTL full marks wants fucking shooting. Live Forever is 10 on 10. Champagne Supernova is 10 on 10. Compared to songs like those two, TSOTL is barely even a six.
Have a word with yourselves, the lot of you.

what's a 10? Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life, Something, Victoria, Sympathy for the Devil, Pinball Wizard, Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, Like a Hurricane, Like a Rolling Stone...
Bag It Up: 8/10
The Turning: 8/10
Waiting for the Rapture: 7.5/10
The Shock of the Lightning: 7/10
I'm Outta Time: 5.5/10
Get off your high horse lady: 6/10 (I enjoy this song a lot, it's not as shit as some say)
Falling Down: 9/10
To Be Where There's Life: 6/10
Ain't Got Nothing: 4.5/10 (Great tune but awful lyrics, vocals and melody)
Nature of Reality: 5/10 (Again great tune but awful lyrics and melody)
Soldier On: 7 (I really like this song)
Average rating is 6.7 but I give it a 7/10 (maybe even a 7.5) cos it flows very nicely, the album is definitely more than the sum of its parts. Oasis' third best... Still love it and it shows no signs of aging except for IOT

well I've listened to it a lot of times. lately been listening to it again, and considering they've been around for 17 years or so now, I think it's great they can still put out a record like Dig Out Your Soul. Bag it Up - 8/10 - Great opener, new from the first time I heard it I'd love it. The Turning - 7.5/10 - hasn't particularly aged well...would have been 10 this time 6 months ago. Waiting For The Rapture - 9/10 - This one is a real grower, started out average, but you end up loving it. The Shock Of The Lightning - 9/10 - Still really like this song. Another one of those I knew I'd like from the minute I heard. I'm Outta Time - 7/10 - Great tune from Liam. Does not age well I must say. (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady - 8.5/10 - I really really like this song, so up yours to anyone who don't  Falling Down - 8/10 - Lyrically genius, though the instrumentation gets a bit dry. To Be Where There's Life - 6.75/10 - For me, it's one of gems lesser songs...better live, but not by much. Ain't' got Nothin' - 8/10 - Really great song, instrumentation wise. Lyrics aren't great, but Noel's backing vocals live blow me away! The Nature Of Reality - 4/10 - The dud. Andy Bell has done way better than this on DBTT. Never liked it, never will. Soldier On - 7.5/10 - Yeah, I dig it  |
