Ah, Rolling Stone being Rolling Stone again. Sad really, the state of it. Anyways, DBTT is an excellent album, and anyone who has been paying attention to Oasis' career (as the RS reviewer claims to have been, while simply regurgitating press clippings circa 1997) will find this album to be a seismic shift for the Bros. Gallagher. New ground is broken in songwriting, production, and lineup here, and Liam's gifts as a songsmith are beginning to bear remarkable fruit: 'Love Like A Bomb' is a breezy, elegant take in Ray Davies' territory, while brother Noel's 'Mucky Fingers' is an exilerating blast of Velvet Underground that no fan or reviewer could have ever seen coming. A fantastic album full of surprises, but you have to have been listening all along to catch them.

This album review is funny. I like the cd though, I think it is more of a comback album than RS says, but still not a comeback album to like write home about. It seems that Oasis is on their way back up and going steady. They are reversing their decline after the summer of Britpop and showing the world that they are a better band, they can transcend that genre like Nirvana transceded grunge with their MTV Unplugged release. If this is Oasis' somewhat of a comeback album, then I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.

Ok, so they didn't become the next Beatles like the hype suggested, and to be fair, rock in general took a back seat, but ultimately Oasis fell out of the mainstream spotlight in the music industry (in America anyways), but they continue to push for a solid rock album that may or may not return them to their more fulfilling years. "Don't Believe the Truth," has been their best effort since 1995's "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". While it may not even have instant radio hits such as the immortal "Wonderwall" or the ballad hit like "Don't Look Back in Anger," the new tracks are the step in the right direction. Songs hit you quick such as the very direct "Meaning of Soul" or a new Oasis sound heard in "The Importance of Being Idle," which is sung greatly by Noel Gallagher. But the album's main highlight may actually be the duet of "Let There be Love" where both Liam and Noel share the light. Their best since the should-have-been-an-A-side track b-side smash "Acquiesce." Nevertheless, this new album sees much progress from all band members, including writing efforts from Andy Bell and Gem Archer. It could be one more Oasis album that will finally do the trick and get these Brits to return to their 90's greatness. Remember when Green Day was said to be washed up and done? Oasis fans may have something even bigger to look foward to instead of looking back in anger.

what makes a good rock band? is it recording music on PCs
and Apple Macs? is it using new sounds by playing
flugelhorns underwater and then looping them backwards? of
course it isn't, its a handful of guys who turn the volume of
their marshall stack up to 11 and make the hairs on the back
of your neck stand up straight. Its a Guitar solo or a riff that
make you forget that you work a shit 9-5 job in an office and
for 3 minutes make you think you're a king amongst men.
Ultimately it makes you sit up and say "fuckin hell this makes
me feel great"...as with all the things these gallagher fellas do
this delivers again. Mum's won;t like it, rap fans won't get it,
but people who wanna go out, get hammered and get laid on
a friday night can't go wrong with this,
