1. Over produced. Can't hear the bass, turn that shit down.
2. Too long. Don't wanna check the time halfway through the album.
3. No real stand out tracks. Only come back to my big mouth and don't go away.
4. Shit Lyrics. Made a meal and through it up on sunday, I've got a lot of things to learn.
5.Noel doesn't like it(this one is hear as an argument from authority to psychologically manipulate my piers)


In all seriousness, I think you over analyze everything I say. There isn't a deeper meaning behind everything I say, so no need to analyze my thought process. Tired of this argument, good night, live every day like it's your last, and enjoy the ride!😀

I state my opinions as fact. 'This song sucks', things of that nature, most humans do. That doesn't mean I actually believe that my opinions are factual. It's a rule of thumb, because there are exceptions, for example, religion. But if everybody you encounter thinks it's shit, you'll probably think it's shit too, because people make judgements for reasons. You however, may not see or agree with these reasons.

Emphasis on at the time, critics since then have settled for much less favorable reviews. Noel wrote every song on it, Liam wrote none, so if anything Noels opinion matters more than Liams. If anything, the general public is incredibly split on this album.

Take this section from wikipedia:


By the end of 1997, Be Here Now had sold eight million units worldwide. However, most sales came from the first two weeks of release, and once the album was released to UK radio stations the turnover tapered off. Buyers realised that the album was not another (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, and by 1999, Melody Maker reported that it was the album most sold to second-hand record stores. In the 2003 John Dower-directed documentary Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop, music critic Jon Savage pinpointed Be Here Now as the moment where the Britpop movement ended. Savage said that while the album "isn't the great disaster that everybody says", he noted that "t was supposed to be the big, big triumphal record" of the period. Q expressed similar sentiments, writing, "So colossally did Be Here Now fall short of expectations that it killed Britpop and ushered in an era of more ambitious, less overblown music." Irish Times journalist Brian Boyd wrote: "Bloated and over-heated (much like the band themselves at the time), the album has all that dreadful braggadocio that is so characteristic of a cocaine user." Reflecting in 2007, Garry Mulholland said: "The fact that nothing could have lived up to the fevered expectations that surrounded its release doesn't change the facts. The third Oasis album is a loud, lumbering noise signifying nothing."

Tired of posting in this thread.

I think the lyrics suck, you don't.
I think the production sucks, you don't.
I think it's to long, you don't.

We disagree, and no amount of arguing or discussing will change that. Is that it?

It’s largely shit because of the obvious reasons but to its credit it’s the last oasis album where Noel’s old brillant effortless songwriting shines through in patches. He had good songs and even albums after that but those sounded more worked (or were ripoffs.)

It also boils down to Bonehead being on rhythm and Noel on lead. He was able to write songs around riffs more, instead of just chord progressions and Bonehead's rhythm playing was aggressive and raw and cut through the mix well which helped the sound. 

Anyways, with the longer songs, I think it's that those songs felt natural and were able to breathe.

A song like It's Getting Better (Man!!) is literally around 2-3 minutes of just "We're getting better man!" at the end while a really good outro guitar solo gets buried. It'd be like if the "You know what some might say"s on Some Might Say kept going until just before it faded out, even over that awesome guitar solo. 

Same with All Around the World and how there's a guitar solo after the second run through the chorus but you don't really hear it because of Liam's "Na na na"s over top of it. They just didn't let the songs breathe and do the work, and those things were what made DM and MG so great. 

Still my favourite album. OK musically it probably isn't the best but I was 13 when that came out, and I remember my mother picking it up from Woolworths for me. Then me listening to it very quietly as my dad was in bed as he had been working nights.

Like most music for me, it's more about the feelings/memories a song/album can bring back instantly

It needs more NAAAAAH NAAH NAAH NA NA NAAAAAAAAAHs 🌍🌎😎

Yes! It’s an extender!
