I think HC and DBTT have more of a similar sound than any other two Oasis records. DBTT has, in general, much better songs and is a better album, but the raw sound of these two records I think is quite similar. "Lyla" sounds like it could have been done seconds after "The Hindu Times", with nobody changing instruments and nobody changing levels.

Anyway, my question is, do you think the next album will have that same general sound? Have Oasis finally, with Andy and Gem becoming pretty settled in, found a steady sound that they will have for the rest of their existance?

Their direction seems to be towards a more acoustic, less heavy sound. I'd like them to continue that way; something bluesy, more rootsy. As good as DBTT is, it's still carried by Noel and Noel clearly has no interest any more in writing typical Oasis ballads and rockers. You can hear that in every post-BHN record that Noel's writing style changed. Most rockers and ballads he's done since then have been pretty uninspired (some good ones - LTBL, The Hindu Times).

Besides, no need to remake their stuff from the mid-90s; it's there, it's in the past, they should do something new.

One big improvement from HC to DBTT was that they got a good producer. Noel just produced HC and didn't do a great job with it, IMO. It would be great for Sardy to stay on to produce the next one and if not him then someone else - maybe John Leckie or even Stephen Street?

You're dead right about the sounds. I actually made myself a "composite" album to listen to in the car, like the best bits of both made into one record:

01. TURN UP THE SUN
02. MUCKY FINGERS
03. THE HINDU TIMES
04. STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT
05. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE
06. SONGBIRD
07. GUESS GOD THINKS I'M ABEL
08. LITTLE BY LITTLE
09. KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE
10. A BELL WILL RING
11. BORN ON A DIFFERENT CLOUD
12. LET THERE BE LOVE

It sounds top!

Personally I still want Owen Morris back behind the desk, but I'm glad that the band are trying newer, less obvious stuff these days. Is about time.

I agree. I think DBTT is a fantastic album, i just think it misses one more rocker song. maybe Eyeball Tickler...or sumthin like it in the middle sumwhere. it seems to get a little bit too acoustic in the middle. but that's my opinion. the feeling of both the albums are similar, i just think DBTT has more quality songs and i do think this is their new direction.

- cheers !

interesting observation, i ahve to agree. i totally agree with slideaway. esp the bit about noels writing style having changed. i dont liek it as much, but i dont expect him to write like he used to cos it would jus tbe contrived and terrible. i think liam is developing to be amazing and i really look forward to his songs, i love his songs on dbtt.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
