"Cos all of the stars... are fadin' awaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy... Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh ooooooooooohhhhhh oooooooooohhhhh"

Heathen Chemistry, oh FUCK yes.

Definitely very good album. Very summery feeling (except BOADC). I like The hindu times, Hung in a bad place, SCYHO, songbird, Little by little, BOADC and Better man. Sometimes it´s nice to listen All in the mind and She is love too. But FON is probably the worst song what they´ve ever done. Lazy and boring...zz..zz..z..

i always take up for HC. it has some quality songs. i don't know if i'd say it's great but it was DEFINITELY a step in the right direction following BHN and SOTSOG. and now we have DBTT which is more quality....so i look at it as a stepping stone sorta. the only songs i dont like on HC are hindu times ( wayyyyyyyyy overratedddddd ) and a quick peep. the mood is different then any other album which i think causes ppl to gripe. but yes, it's good.

- cheers !

I wouldn't say it's a favourite of mine, but I fucking love to put it on during a summer night to just relax.... what an amazing album. It's all around good with a lot of top tunes.

I am one who doesn't like FON and I stick to it. But otherwise the rest of the album is awesome

Starting off with Hindu Times is always a smash

Anyone who rags on SCYHO should immediately dismiss any of the sappy Oasis songs: Wonderwall, Don't Go Away, etc. It's up there with all of them. Classic Oasis. And, yeah. HC is miles ahead of BHN and SOTSOG as full albums go, I'll tell you that much...

Well, uhm ... Heathen Chemstry is O.K. in my opinion.

A good album when you compare it to albums of other bands.... but for a Oasis album for me it was kind of disappointing. Good tunes, but not so big as they use to be. I like Hindu Times, Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Born On A Different Cloud.

The rest sounds a bit unambitious to me. It's a good album, but the worst Oasis album. They can do much better, and the proof is DBTT. much better the HC in my opinion.

I think the mix of waiting so long after SOTSOG (which had this huge sound), the mellow sound (which don't really present that typical Oasis vibe), and some unambitous tunes, a kinda empty producing, and the big words before the release, made the album a dissapointment to a lot of fans. But in the end it's still a good one ... but not there best .... by far not their best.

(maybe an idea to reproduce the album here on the forum? :-))

I'd have to disagree with you about consistency.

Firstly, Definitely Maybe, WTSMG, and BHN are all very consistent in their sound, production, and feel.

But I feel that Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is also very consistent. Obviously not as much as the others before it. But the guitars, the mellotron voices, and the feel of the album seems to me to be very well done. That's why I like it.

To me I've always found that HC has lacked that. DBTT provided immense improvement.

That's not to say that HC is a bad album. Far from it. I love to listen to it and let it flow along. There may not be a lot of A material on it, but what's good is fucking GREAT and that's important.

HC will shit all over SOTSOG. Come on, simply put, it's a bad album. 3/4 good tracks tops. But HC brings in a vintage, raw feel. It's creative. loose, with songs like Hindu Times, SCYHO, Songbird, BOADC.... And fuck off, guys! I love A Quick Peep. I wanna hear more Oasis songs like that. Sure, the album is a stepping stone on the way to DBTT. That's a good thing. But thank God it sounds nothing like BHN or SOTSOG.

I admit, A Quick Peep isn't as bad as people say it is, but it's got nothing on Fuckin in the Bushes or The Swamp Song. ;D

better than DBTT

It's alright but my least favourite 'Sis record.
