Good Confession- I really LOVE Liam's songwriting on DOYS !! Bad Confession- I think I like "Country House" more than "Roll With it"  |

Good Confession- I really LOVE Liam's songwriting on DOYS !! Bad Confession- I think I like "Country House" more than "Roll With it" 100 times this. Listen to the two back-to-back and you'll understand why the latter lost the "Battle of Britpop". |

The Great Escape is in many ways Blur's BHN. The third time they tried to make the same album, and a bit self-indulgent and messy. But it has many strengths, Stereotypes, Country House, and The Universal are easily highlights of Blur's career for me, and I've always liked It Could Be You and Globe Alone.  |

I LOVE "It Could Be You" but it makes me so sad for some reason. Ha, I think I'm the only one ! (See also: "Further Away" by MSP)

I like Blur, but Country House is a bit shit really.

Country House is definitely better than Roll With It, it's just baffling how that made it onto Morning Glory, never mind being a hyped up single.

I always stick by the fact that Roll With It gets a very harsh deal on this forum, in fact with Oasis fans overall.
Never had a problem with it at all.

I really like Born on a Different Cloud, it is the best song on Heathen Chemistry, Liam's best ever and with some proper Sotsog style production could be top 20 ever Oasis

I love BOADC. (Maybe not love but quite like)
Those Na na na na na's give me a little buzz.

I really like BOADC, a Liam song with 3 key changes? That's something.
I think it is the one time where the underproduction of HC work in the song's favor, it gives a desolate feel to the song, a bit of hopelessness and an eerie vibe. It should have been the album's closer.

Yeah I don't hate the production on it that much, especially compared to the rest of the album but I would love to here it SOTSOGed (is that a term?) 100% should have closed the album |

I love DM, but not so much the guitar sound. They used epiphone guitars! And not the good ones, the cheep ones, because they couldn't afford real guitars. Thats a NO NO in the music business. I hate that. There I said it.

I hate that. There I said it. Actually this is not 100% true. There isn't a ton of info about the exact guitar gear they used for recording DM, but if I remember correctly Noel recorded both Slide Away and Live Forever with the famous ex-Marr/ex-Townsend sunburst Gibson Les Paul which got destroyed at the Newcastle gig in 1994. According to him, Slide Away was also written on that very guitar. Johnny Marr lent them some stuff, including pedals, amps and guitars, and somewhere on the net there's also a pic of Noel playing a Gibson Flying V (I think it was taken during the Monnow Valley sessions). Again, if I remember correctly Bonehead also played a Gibson SG, but I might be wrong on this one. On the cover of the Supersonic single you can spot a cherry Gibson ES-335 (or 355) and a black Rickenbacker, so I guess they were probably used during the recordings too. Then came the Epiphone Rivieras (which both Noel and Bonehead played extensively) and, later on, the Sheratons (but that's post-DM). Anyway, regardless of whatever gear they really used, I've always thought that the guitar sound on DM was pretty good  It's rough and dirty, but those features really helped to define the early-Oasis sound. |

Bit from Gibson themselves about that Johnny Marr Les Paul and Noel Gallagher HERE The article also goes on to later era Noel guitars as well |

I hate that. There I said it. The sound they got on the album has very little to do with the gear used, and everything to do with the way they 1) recorded everything and 2)the layering wall of sound they chose to go with. A good comparison is the lighter Live Forever "demo" and the album version. The demo actually has a much clearer sound, whereas the album cut is much more gritty and raw. Basically, they made it sound that way. It's too bad that it bothers you. |

I think Oasis ripped off a lot of La's tunes. E.g. I can hear Failure after listening to it a lot in some Oasis tunes...
