The demo version of Songbird is superior to the album version-- nevermind the fact that it sounds just like "I Should've Known Better" and that its main bass line is employed in "(Probably) All in the Mind"...This is Oasis after all.
Cheers.

Listened to "(It's Good) to Be Free" this morning, and I have to say that when Liam sings "Bring it onnn hoooommmee" in the second verse, the song soars to another awesome level that cannot be described. For me, that little bit, and the solo, make the song really good. In general, I love It's Good To Be Free. Tune. No idea what the clown music at the end is meant to be, but I just skip it. |

That's Bonehead playing his accordeon, I think it was a piece from some tv series or something |

I watched this from start to finish the other day, this and TDOYAM are actually really good videos I think. Mike Bruce must have completely used up all his ideas by the time they got to IIHAG as from then on in the videos became totally unwatchable. I think TDOYAM is the only decent one. This one is hilariously bad, IIHAG is a bit meh and EOTR is simply the worst. Such a shame that such a wonderful song got such dirge of a video. Oh, but what about Dream On!!! Top video indeed  ? |

The one thing I miss about driving: Blasting Oasis' 1997 album, Be Here Now, whilst doing my best Liam Gallagher impersonation, only to arrive at my destination with a sore throat. #sunshiiiiiiineeeeeee

In relation to the post above me, I'm okay with the fact that some songs were never played live (Ex: Bag it Up and Roll it Over) because it leaves a fresh impression of the song in my mind, and not a memory of a certain performance of the song not capturing the spirit of the song whilst doing it live.
Don't get me wrong, seeing & hearing those songs live would be awesome, but I'm also okay (to a certain extent) with just having the album version, and the magic captured with it.

Sunday Morning Call is better than Listen Up.
Magic Pie is better than Listen Up.
She Is Love is better than... NO IT DEFINITELY ISN'T, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Not really a confession, as I'm in no way ashamed about it... (let's say it's more an 'unpopular' opinion). 'PYMWYMI', 'I Can See A Liar', 'The Nature of Reality' and 'Ain't Got Nothin' are in my opinion, far from Oasis's worst songs. All 4 are nothing more than album fillers, (the latter two shouldn't have even made their respective album) but they're all simple, well defined, rock songs. Without wanting to insult or patronise anyone... they clearly don't appeal to your typical Oasis/The Smiths/The Stone Roses/The La's/The Jam/Verve fan. They don't reside in a standard acoustic or distortion driven Brit-rock record collection... Few people are gonna be stripping them down acoustically. Now I'm not saying they're great songs, as they're not... but the almost universal hatred of them if far from warranted. In my opinion, they are twice as good as songs I truly believe to be Oasis's worst... stuff like 'Carry Us All', 'Thank You For The Good Times', 'The Cage' etc... songs that probably can be found in a standard acoustic or distortion driven Brit-rock record collection. In my opinion it is these songs that are the poorer melodically and are worst of all, forgettable. At least songs like 'PYMWYMI', 'I Can See A Liar' etc. have shape and energy (and don't outstay their welcome). They're not ambitious melodically, but they're solid in what they do provide in that regard. Often they drone in the vocal department (think 'The Hindu Times' but obviously not as good) but there's nothing wrong with that, no? I find the hatred of 'She Is Love' and 'Force of Nature' even more strange, as I'd consider them both good songs... I don't hold the vocal bewilderment many seem to hold when they laugh about Noel considering the latter as a single... I'd have done the same... 'Magic Pie' too!  |

I haven't heard She Is Love that much but to me it sounds like a generic Noel love ballad that doesn't seem to go anywhere. As for Force of Nature, I don't think it's as bad as many make it out to be but the demo version is way better than the album one. The demo is 2 minutes shorter and flows alot better and isn't as bloated. Noel's voice is more fierce and the melody isn't too imposing. I think Magic Pie was a missed opportunity because the melody is amazing. The lengthy middle section and the bloated soundwall along with the weakness of the lyrics, especially within the chorus is what makes it frowned upon. The randomness at the end was pointless as well. |

The demo is 2 minutes shorter and flows alot better and isn't as bloated. Noel's voice is more fierce and the melody isn't too imposing. Oh, 'She is Love' is definitely generic (not to the level 'Stop The Clocks' is), however it's a more than solid enough song. Melody wise, it far better than many songs the band released, either as an album track or b-side. I can't say I prefer, or dislike the demo much more than the final version. I agree it could have done with being fiercer and the piano-less live versions begin to do that, but any song sung by Noel is always going to stay on the tame side. I've always thought it was a big shame more heavier songs didn't exist from this period... Liams voice was sounding really dense and would have sounded amazing on such. A Liam sung 'Full On' or something heavier would have really been something! I have no real issue with it being bloated... listen to Be Here Now, jeeze! 'Magic Pie' is great because it sounds like a failed classic. I'm not saying that's the reason it's great... the reason it's great is largely down to the melody of the verses, which are nearly as strong as anything else he's written. The song pretty much flatlines at the chorus though, I'm guessing he couldn't come up with anything better... and those lyrics... yeeaaahh. Lyrics will almost never ruin a song for me and they don't in this case, but surely he could have come up with something better than 'my magic pie'? Oh, well. But the randomness at the end is great. Two massive thumbs up from me. Oasis finally doing something creatively different. It adds to the chaos of the album in a very positive way. More of this sort of stuff should have been done. |

Surprising that I didn't come up with this thread, heh.
Not gonna lie: I don't mind rocking to I Can See A Liar. The Liar/Fire rhyme is cringe but it doesn't half rock out.

I really like The Nature Of Reality. I absolutely love its riff and I think it fits pretty well on DOYS. Like the vocals too. Space and time and here and now!
I hate AGN though. It's just so bad. Its production is good (as pretty much everything on its album), but the song itself is terrible. Another one of these oh-so-boring-and-generic Liam rockers.

one thing that has always annoyed the fuck our of me is the fact noel didnt sing sunday morning call on the sotsog tour apart from fuckin in the bushes they only played 3 songs fromm that album GLIO WFL and Gas panic He sang SMC early on when the tour started in Japan but gave up on it pretty early. I think the unplugged version like the MTV Europe performance captures the song much better than the full band electric version. Where Did It all Go Wrong was also played throughout most of the tour, at first alternating with I Can See a Liar. But I do agree with your point - those songs should have been more of a chance live. Roll It Over would have been incredible. |

I'm not gonna sit here and defend the lyrics, yes some aren't the best but it has it's merits. It depends on what i'm feelin but sometimes I even prefer it to SOTSOG. SOTSOG is too dark sometimes. It's the only album I regularly listen to apart from SOTSOG from the 2000 to 2009 period. Hardly ever listen to DBTT & DOYS. |

Ok I have a real confession. I only own: - Definitely Maybe
- Be Here Now
- Dig Out Your Soul (Box Set version 45RPM)
on Vinyl (getting WTSMG remaster soon hopefully). I'd like to get more but i'm a bit late to the party on the whole vinyl thing and I ain't paying like £200 or stupid money that e.g. The Masterplan goes for. Would love Ignition to re-release everything on Vinyl for example like with RIDE. "Nowhere" is coming out on Vinyl again next month. I for one will be getting a copy. Anyone here own The Masterplan vinyl box set, what is the sound quality like? |
