We always do a best Oasis album vote so why not flip it? What's the worst album?
For me, the worst one is Dig Out Your Soul. It's the one album I never listen to, apart from the odd track (the singles mainly) it's the only one I cannot listen to

Heathen Chemistry is going to be voted the worst.
I am the next Nostradamus!

Heathen Chemistry.
Poor production, poor non-single songs (bar BOADC, and maybe FON), and it was also the point of no return for Liam's vocals.

Dig out your soul slightly edges out Heathen Chemistry for me. I love the first five songs and never listen to the rest. Heathen Chemistry I'll take about 5 songs, but The Hindu Times, Little by Little and Stop Crying your Heart Out are, for me, better than anything on DOYS. I think the first 5 songs on DOYS are all four and a Half star Oasis tunes, and I love them, but that album has no all-time Oasis classics. I'm Outta Time is a near miss and Liam's best song

i knowi i have said this a thousand times but if these threads are gonna pop from time to time i will say it again . dig out your soul even tho Lennon2217 got me to relisten and i admit its not as bad as i first thought . but nonetheless when HC CAME OUT i took it to nevada smiths in the city and by the end of the night the football crowd was singing along to scyho hindu times ect ect conversly when dig came out it was the first and only time that when the lp ended i sat there and said thats it ? the lp sounded as if they lost there soul ,to me like it was a job , dont think they were on good terms during that recording , i tried to to love it , but the best i can say is meh , to me there weakest by a nice margin yet i will take that over anything coldplay and other pop sellouts anyday of week dont hate it , it just didnt meet my expectations , first time i was let down with there lps |

To me, the first 5 songs is the best run of songs since the 90s. I prefer the other version of Waiting For The Rapture but I don't think it would fit on the album as well. The problem with it though is that it had the potential to be a fantastic album and it ended up being just decent. Had the running order been chosen properly and some of the unfinished songs recorded fully the it could have been something special. |

HC.
HC was the only Oasis album which, when it came out, disappointed me, it has both great and terrible songs, but overall it's meh for me.
DOYS has awesome songs and some shit ones, but the album as a whole is a great experience, it's more rewarding.

Stuck in the 90s, I see she is. She still hates Oasis and absolutely despises Liam. |

Who the actual fuck voted for (What's the Story?) Morning Glory? That would have been me. It might not be the worst, technically, but it is my least preferred. Makes sense, doesn't it, as I am the one who does not particularly care for "Don't look back in anger" nor "Champagne Supernova" nor "Wonderwall" and wanted to have nothing to do with Oasis for many years because those three songs was all I knew of them and they bored the hell out of me and still do. I find it hard to forgive those songs for keeping me away from a band I have grown to love so much by now. Well, it makes sense for me. Still, the title song is one of my favorite songs. |

It's interesting how people on this forum by and large don't rate DBTT, when amongst popular consensus it's probably the third best or third most popular Oasis record
And it's a really good fucking record

After 'TIOBI' the tracklist pretty much plays as a Beady Eye record, with 2 lacklustre Noel songs thrown in. Releasing an Oasis record with just 5 Noel penned tunes on it is just shooting yourself in the foot really. If I was to be a bit mean, the album boils down to 2 songs really; 'Lyla' and 'The Importance of Being Idle'. I mean what would the 4th single have been? Nothing jumps out to me as being a success. |

I reckon it boils down to how much you like Let There Be Love. If like me, you think it's great then the album has a massive first single (Lyla), a great Noel single (The Importance of Being Idle), an epic closer with both brothers singing (Let there be Love), and even two class songs written by Andy. I think Love like a Bomb is great, and Liam and Gem's other contributions good songs, nothing groundbreaking, but good songs nonetheless. It's the only post BHN album without a dud track. I suppose the only criticism I could level at it is that it could do with another big meaningful song (Who Put The Weight of the World on my Shoulders? would have done nicely) It's been my third favourite Oasis album for a long time. Now, I think BHN has probably pushed it into fourth, but it's a great record, and one of the ones I play the most. Apart from The Importance of Being Idle, I never hear these tunes anywhere, so they never get overplayed. |

Apart from The Importance of Being Idle, I never hear these tunes anywhere, so they never get overplayed. That's part of the beauty of the album. It was the album that got Oasis right back on track, and the most well-received album since MG, but yet, like in the US for awhile, you couldn't even listen to it on such a big music streaming service like Spotify, and like you mentioned, many of the tracks don't get nearly as much airplay. Those factors don't dilute the album, and its songs, nearly as much, to me, anyways. The album is a third, behind DOYS and SOTSOG, as far as lost Oasis albums go, imo. |

I think Heathen Chemistry is the worst. But alot of that has to do with the timing- It came out following up Oasis' first four epic albums so obviously it was going to disappoint in the end. But all in all, It just doesn't have a very good flow or feel. It just feels like some decent songs grouped together.

I'm torn between DBTT and HC. DBTT has one of my least favourite Oasis songs and is pretty mediocre bar the singles. The production sucks and Liams voice sounds horrible on a lot of the songs. HC has great singles, a few alright songs, and bad production, but I THINK I like it a little better than DBTT.
