This song gets a lot of hate, but it's grown on me. Sure, it's obvious that it panders to the late 90's US alternative seen, but it's still good. Lyrically, despite some throw-away lines, it does a good job telling the story of a sleazy person who is bound to self destruct. "He sits upon a throne, he lives a sleazy lie, but he's all alone again", that really is a great line. Couple that with a cool riff, Liam's snarling vocals, and a kick ass guitar solo, you get a damn good song. What do you think, is it underrated?

You can tell Liam does too by his vocals

Since it's as simple of a rocker as a song can be, I don't think it needs any more sophisticated lyrics: you just go out and destroy the mic.

Although there were bigger balls on the sidelines. This is one cocked up analogy.

Should have been replaced with a Liam-led Full On.

Eh. A Liam-led Full On would've replaced Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is well. ICSAL fell into the trouble of being in the wrong place on the album. Having it after an emotional roller coaster like Little James/Gas Panic!/Where Did it All Go Wrong?/Sunday Morning Call and before Roll it Over, a cathartic closer, is very jarring. It would've been better at track two, right after FITB, when the album is at it's most confident point.

It had a place on the album, just not where it ended up being.

I wouldn't say its over or underrated myself.

I don't normally hear it get slated by fans as the worst Oasis tune ever, in the way songs like Magic Pie, Little James or Nature of Reality often are. Its reputation tends to be as of the low points of the album and one of their worst rockers ever, which id personally say are about right.

The song itself isn't even one of the best on Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants anyway.

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

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
