OASIS - New Album(s) and all General Discussion

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm a fan of Ain't Got Nothin'

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm really going to need another listen or two to this. It didn't jump out at me on first listen as much as DBTT or even Heathen Chemistry. It's definitely something different. I might not be in the best frame of mind for music lis'nin right now, though.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I love this album.

 

[the tourist]

Anyone who loved it at first still feel the same love after a few listens? I haven't heard it yet, as I'm waiting for either a better leak or the cd itself (whichever comes first). But I'm just curious to know if it loses something with repeated listenings (I found Heathen Chemistry to be wonderful at first, but it lost something with repeated listenings).

 

[phanan]

I just really hate having my first experience with something at a faulty audio level. I'm psyched for the album, for sure, and if I hadn't read that the audio was quiet, I'd be listening to it right now instead of M83.

I have to agree. I want the leak to be high quality.

I think I'll hold off a bit.

 

[phanan]

I found a leak that seemed to have the correct volume level, and it sounded pretty good, so I went ahead and listened.

I'm very impressed after the first time through. I don't know if I rate it as highly as Don't Believe The Truth, but it's up there. Perhaps after a few more listens this will change.

But I really like it.

The leak I have seemed to have the tracking a bit off, though. I understand most of the songs go into each other, but usually the numbering is better than this. Hopefully it's just the leak and not how the real CD will be.

 

[kennerado]

Screw a lossy mp3 leak, I'm also waiting for the album to come out.

And to the guy that said Oasis was mediocre during 97-2004, you must be taking crazier drugs than Noel ever has.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm just finishing up my 4th listen through this album and I gotta say I really like it. It seems to be a more subtle and assured Oasis. I'm liking every track right now, and I'm really impressed with how they put the whole thing together. It might be the most cohesive album these guys have ever made.

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

Uhn Noel doing solo work?

Mighty large venues for Oasis... the Detroit gig is especially ambitious given the size of the market and the size of the venue. Pissed they aren't coming to Ohio. Hopefully in 2009. (Seems like I'm waiting for a lot of things to happen in 2009 as far as music is concerned)

 

[phanan]

Wow, no Boston show?

 

[Lila64]

I'm in!

 

[Zoots]

I tried the presale just now and got something up in the 300 level... I guess cos the presale has been open since morning and all the closer seats are sold out. So is it better for me to wait till the general public sale and try then for closer seats??

 

[TheQuiet1]

Is anyone else a bit disappointed that the only B-sides for TSOL is the Chemical Brothers' remix of Falling Down? I mean I know what with downloads and everything that B-sides are probably utterly redundant nowadays but still, this is Oasis we're talking about and frankly, half the time the B-sides are the best songs that they do!

 

[phanan]

It might have something to do with the fact that they are releasing the deluxe version with all the bonus songs in one place.

Dig Out Your Soul

LM, I remember you saying that you didn't care much for Bag It Up on your first listens to the album. Have you changed your tune on this at all because I seriously love Bag It Up. It's one of my favorites on here.

Right now I'm Outta Time is owning me more than anything, though. Does anyone know what the writing credits are on this album? I know that Noel wrote Bag It Up, Shock, and Falling Down. I would assume Noel wrote High Horse Lady and Waiting for the Rapture, too. Which ones did Liam write? if Liam wrote I'm Outta Time (which I think I remember reading) then it is the best song he's ever written.

 

[phanan]

According to wiki:

# Title Writer(s) Length
1. "Bag It Up" Noel Gallagher 4:39
2. "The Turning" N. Gallagher 5:05
3. "Waiting for the Rapture" N. Gallagher 3:03
4. "The Shock of the Lightning" N. Gallagher 5:02
5. "I'm Outta Time" Liam Gallagher 4:10
6. "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady" N. Gallagher 4:07
7. "Falling Down" N. Gallagher 4:20
8. "To Be Where There's Life" Gem Archer 4:35
9. "Ain't Got Nothin'" L. Gallagher 2:15
10. "The Nature of Reality" Andy Bell 3:48
11. "Soldier On" L. Gallagher 4:49

 

[LemonMelon]

I need another listen to two to really make up my mind, but I can't see Bag It Up growing on me much. It seems like a cliche rockin' album opener without much depth. Other than that and Soldier On, this is a pretty damn fine album. Maybe top 10 for the year.

Cool, that's kinda what I figured, except I didn't know that Gem wrote To Be Where There's Life. Thanks, phanan.

Why didn't I just go to Wikipedia myself? No-one knows.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm impressed that Gem wrote To Be Where There's Life. That song is cracking.

 

[the tourist]

I still haven't listened to it.

Exclusive: Oasis speak to Clash : Music News Feature | Clash Music

Noel Gallagher on the promotional machine…
“We’re inherently lazy, you know what I mean? We wanna be getting pissed half the time, and the other fuckin’ time we want to be getting fuckin’ high. I’m not arsed about going to see some fat c*** and his fat kids and his fat record shop in fuckin’ Fatsville, USA… What the fuck do I care about him?”

Hahahahahahaha

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Haha nice. Vintage Noel.

 

[phanan]

I have to agree regarding I'm Outta Time. This is Liam's best composition ever. It's just so beautiful. Love the John Lennon part at the end, too.

The Turning and Falling Down are other favorites so far.

 

[the tourist]

I'm listening to the bonus disc. Good stuff here.

 

[phanan]

I haven't heard the bonus disc yet. Didn't know it had leaked, too. I'll have to listen tonight.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

By far the closest they've got to Morning Glory and Definitely Maybe. It's not as good as those albums but it's very strong. I think a couple of songs the calibre of Bag It Up and The Turning, instead of Ain't Got Nothin' and Nature Of Reality, would put it alongside those two albums.

I'd give it at least an 8, maybe 9/10.


They're back.

 

[bigloader]

Wow...I guess I'm pretty much the only Oasis fan who doesn't particularly like this album? After 3 listens through, there still aren't any standout tracks for me, and I've loved pretty much everything that they've done up until this album. This, for me, is a first for an oasis album. Am I really alone here? It seems as though everyone loves it and I'm kind of disappointed in the album.....

 

[LemonMelon]

There aren't very many standout tracks, but there aren't any terrible ones either. The last time that happened was probably Morning Glory.

Oh, and The Turning. Listen to it again.
