guys pitchfork has the same MO. in fact, i'm sure they'd give Definitely Maybe a great score, when it came out anyway.
but once a band gets popular, the rating drops and drops and drops. then in 20 years, if noel comes out with a great singer songwriter album it'll get an 8 or so.

Are any of the magazines already available? I'm yearning for the reviews

Pitchfork are really pathetic. Was reading 100 Greatest Albums of the 90s and not one Oasis album was there. I think it's mostly down to an immature hatred for the Gallagher brothers. Hell, I used to think they were a couple of tossers but I conceded they wrote fantastic songs when I wasn't an Oasis fan. I find them incredibly pompous, snobby and ultimately very narrow minded when it comes to the subject of music. Saying that, the review given for Noel's TCT album is given 6.2 and is, surprisingly, very unscathing and unbiased. In fact, this is actually a well balanced very good review. pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13082-the-dreams-we-have-as-children/

And Pitchfork sometimes does stabs at Oasis like on Chinese Democracy review.
Yet on the way to being this decade's Sgt. Peppers, Chinese Democracy became its Be Here Now-- a record of relatively simple, similar songs overdubbed into a false sense of complexity in a horrorshow of modern production values.
