I gotta go with Heathen Chemistry. I think if it were released after WTSMG, Oasis would have gone on to be enormous across the world. I think it was alot more original than BHN was...although obviously there were new band members and an extra 5 years of maturity.

SotSoG, definitely. The only two bad songs are Little James and PYMWYMI, plus it's really different from any other Oasis album. Screaming synths, psychadelic keyboards, drum machines, voice samples, etc. I love it.

I would have to say SOTSOG. I never liked that album much when it first came out, but I do really love it now (just skip thru Little James, and Sunday Mornng Call).
I don't think BHN belongs in that list though.

Which one is Sunday Morning Call again? I get it mixed up with all the other dreary, boring, soulless SOTSOG-era tracks, which all sound the same.
BUT...
I believe that Fuckin' in the Bushes, Go Let It Out, Who Feels Love? and Gas Panic! are brilliant. More of them, please.

Am I the only one who really likes I Can See a Liar? When talking about SotSoG people never name this song, in my opinion one of the best tunes on the album.
SotSoG, HC and DBTT all are underrated, SotSoG probably the most. Dunno if you can call BHN, an album that sold 8 million copies, underrated?

I thought it was the uptempo songs that really stunk on SOTSOG. I thought the ballads were great. The best songs IMO were: Go Let It Out, Gas Panic, Roll It Over, Sunday Morning Call, Where Did It All Go Wrong, and Who Feels Love PYMWYMI is just horrific. Little James is the only boring ballad for me on there. Liam singing to nothing but an acoustic guitar just doesn't sound right to me . He got away with it on Wonderwall cause it was brilliantly written...not this time though. |

my take on SOTSOG (bc that seems to be the focus right now...)
1.) Fuckin In the Bush's: 8/10. Good Opener
2.) Go Let It Out: 8/10. Typical Oasis. Similar to Roll With It
3.) Who Feels Love: 7/10. Drags on abit, but not bad.
4.) PYMWYMI: 3/10. wtf is this shit? Horrible lyrics.
5.) Little James: 3/10. likewise.
6.) Gas Panic: 9/10. Best on the album. Clever lyrics + good energy
7.) Where Did it All Go Wrong: 9/10: Nice ballad
8.) Sunday Morning Call: 7/10. Similar to WDIAGW, but not as good as it
9.) I Can See A Liar: 5/10 FANTASTIC energy. HORRIBLE lyrics
10.) Roll It Over: 7/10. good vocals, good closer, too repetitve though
Overall: 66%
The 6.6/10 is misleading though bc the album itself isnt bad. Just a few HORRIBLe songs. What makes this album the worst from Oasis (imo) is that it contains their worst recorded songs ever. But there are some stunners on it -- and for that, its the most underrated. The bad songs weigh down the album dramatically bc they are SO bad. They cast a shadow over the good 'uns.

I really liked that song as well, just the lyrics in the chorus were a bit too simple. I might get flamed for this, but I enjoy listening to PYM. Sure the lyrics are bad, but it has a a good energy to it. It probably would have done better as a b-side though or an album opener (if they didn't have fitb)/. |

After listening to SOTSOG I've realized how mediorce it really is. Noel has said it's uninspired too. Fucking In The Bushes and Go Let It Out are amazing tracks... some of Oasis's finest work then the pace is completely obscured by Who Feels Love. PYMWYMI is one of the most generic guitar riffs ever, followed by uninspired lyrics. Little James is a B-Side at best, but I can see why Noel wanted it on the record, as it produced great Liam tracks later. Gas Panic is good, but not nearly as good as it was live. The album pick up momentum again after Gas Panic with WDIAGW and Roll It Over but the chorus's and solos in Sunday Morning Call and ICSAL are just lazy.
"I Can See A Liar... Sittin By The Fire" Uugghhh. There's a reason why when people talk about this album there's atleast 2 songs they always skip. That's never a good thing. After listenin to SOTSOG then DBTT I've realized how polished and confident it is compared to SOTSOG's. It makes for a way better listen.
Oh I voted for HC. Songbird, SCYHO, Hindu Times, BODC, Force of Nature, A Quick Peep n the Cage, . It's a solid CD. BHN's also underrated. Yeah there's too many guitar layers... so fucking what?

there were some great tunes from sotsog. 'gas panic,' 'go let it out,' 'sunday morning call,' 'roll it over'... those are quality songs.
now, if they were smarter, they would have replaced songs such as 'little james,' 'put yer money where yer mouth is' and 'i can see a liar' with b-sides such as 'let's all make believe,' '(as long as they've got) cigarettes in hell,' 'one way road.' now an album like that would have been considered one of their best.

I agree with that. Some of the B-sides from that period were really good and would have made the album great. You know now that I think about it, it probably would have been considered one of their best if they did that.
I think they just plopped Little James on to keep Liam happy.

i reckon song selection was a talent noel kind of lost after 96.
putting magic pie instead of going nowhere and flashbax. even the formulaic stay young is more powerful than my big mouth.
SOTSOG: most of the b-sides are better than the album itself.
HC: an extra star for the album if mediocre post-britpop era britpop songs like better man, force of nature and she is love were replaced... with idler's dream for instance.

I love I Can See A Liar. But I agree they could replace all other songs you mentioned. |
