Soldier On is fantastic. Give it to a better producer and I'd genuinely love it. Only people with the surname Gallagher should have wrote songs for Oasis. I agree with you about Soldier On and it's a shame that Dave Sardy was the producer as it could have been one of Oasis's best songs from Dig Out Your Soul. |

Mucky Fingers Sunday Morning Call Let There Be Love Roll It Over I agree with you about Mucky Fingers but is Roll It Over (which is a great song) really overhated. I mean I think most people like it. |

Let There Be Love. Once upon a time I got off the Oasis train for a long while and out of the blue one day I heard Let There Be Love on Pandora Radio. At the time I had never heard the song before. It took me a second to comprehend what I was hearing. I murmured to myself "Why does that voice sound so familiar?" And then as the song progressed into the middle part with Noel singing I knew I was going right back down the wormhole of digging into this band and hearing every second of their music I can uncover. I've never been happier, and I've never looked back.

Can anyone please explain in 20 words or less exactly WHY they hate (Probably) All in the Mind?
I think it's alright, personally.

Yeah, I quite like (Probably) All In The Mind and I just don't understand the hate it gets.

Yeah, it occupies the same space as Keep the Dream Alive, for me; there's a half-decent tune in there beneath all the dad-rock trappings and mushy production. But even that faint praise is more than I can say for a lot of the band's 2001-2006 music, so I don't see why it gets singled out as a low point. I'll take it over shite like Better Man, Meaning of Soul, or A Bell Will Ring any day of the week. |

Soldier On is a great last track. I think people would see it differently if it had an epic song preceding it (Record Machine is not the epic I have in mind unfortunately) as it would work as an understated closer. A kind of epilogue. But it's a trippy song, I love Liam's vocals and, as much as I despise Dave Sardy's dull production, there's a nice ethereal nature to it (more to do with the instrumentation than anything Sardy related though, such as the harmonica thing (forgot what its called!)).
I think it bears the brunt of all the shit that comes before it and everyone takes their ire out on it unfortunately!

Soldier On is a great last track. "Great" might be a bit of a stretch but for me it holds its own on the album and definitely works as a respectable closer. I reckon it's better, more interesting and a more fitting closing song than Boy with the Blues, the often suggested alternative. Regardless they're 2 of Liam's best. In my fantasy playlists I end on Falling Down then Soldier On. That might do it for ya. Dig Out Your Soul1. Bag It Up 2. The Turning 3. Waiting for the Rapture 4. The Shock of the Lightning 5. I'm Outta Time 6. (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine [Liam Sung]7. Come On Outside [Liam Sung]8. To Be Where There's Life 9. Falling Down 10. Soldier On ~44m Melodica? I think it's that. Gives it a bit of an early Gorillaz sound, a band who've been known to employ it on a number of occasions. Contrary to most I personally don't really mind the preceding songs but I do agree that people seem to lazily lump it into "the shit end of the record". Underrated song - 7/10. |

Yep good breakdown - and definitely stating it's 'great' is an overstatement but I'm probably just overcompensating for the hate it seems to receive! Definitely one of Liam's finest effort with the band though and that he more than merited his songwriting credit in Oasis. Liam, is for me, the far superior 'second best' songwriter in Oasis during the 2000s, and I don't count Gem or Andy songs as Oasis songs unfortunately, I will never not feel they are imposters and the dire quality suggests so. And thank god, because it's an original member too. Even though his compositions are admittedly slight, they very often add a light breeziness to Oasis albums that often got bogged down in slodge. |

Thanks. Yeah I agree Liam more often earnt his spots on Oasis records than Andy or Gem. For me, outside of Turn Up the Sun, To Be Where There's Life and The Roller (which they passed over 3 times) none of Andy or Gem's contributions should have really touched an Oasis record. Sure they could've been b-sides but album tracks? Ideally not. In my books Songbird, I'm Outta Time, Soldier On and The Boy with the Blues are all respectable efforts from Liam and he's got a couple more close calls too. Stylistically I think Liam has more in common with Noel than the other 2 too which probably helps his case. |

Gem and Andy are probably good lads, but I always felt their songs in Oasis to sound a bit "empty". They are not really melodic, don't have really catchy hooks, don't have beautiful chord progressions, no emotional signature. I'm sure Andy could have done better for some reason. With Ride, he showed melodic abilities that was not to be found in his output with Oasis.
For overhated song, I'd go with Take Me Away. Yeah, there's that one line but it doesn't bother me, it's a nice, melancholic b-side and I really like the melody of the chorus. Classic old Noel.

As for Gem and Andy I do enjoy some of their songs from their Oasis days but stuff like A Quick Peep is absolutely nonsense really. |

A Quick Peep is no more or less nonsense than those "untitled" Swamp Song excerpts. It's all right to have a little filler now and then, and it might as well have been written by Andy as anyone else. |

True but I don't think that Andy's songs are that bad apart from A Quick Peep and The Nature Of Reality. |
