i dont think they'll be as huge as oasis were

all this fuss about t'monkeys was picked by the media and here we are

wish them luck...

but i don't think they'll release a better album than this one and carry on with really good ones for a few years... just can't see it happening

but who knows?

let's admit it: the media is always looking for new heroes. Oasis were the kings of the 90's, but they are too old to have the media support (except MNE and few more), cos in this industry the new is what sells more. The fact is that they're great enough to resist that, but we dont know how long they will.
In any case, what differences them from other bands is that they made the 2 best discs of the decade (I'm sure they'd still sell out gigs even if they hadn't more records), and its's really hard to improve that. DM and WTSMG will be selling for years, like Abbey road or Sgt Pepper do.
Someone posted some time ago that the media put Led Zeppelin at the top of the world, but when they realized they couldnt take the band out of that place (they were too big) to introduce new groups, Zeppelin became the enemy. Only some time after their break the media recognised how good the were. Maybe it's the same.
Why is a band much better when a member dies? (not only Nirvana, it has happened thousands of times)
