War Child
Finally have a chance to post this. The new OASIS album, Heathen Chemistry, in my opinion, is quite good. I know there are some OASIS haters here, but there are a few fans as well, so I figured I would post my thoughts on the album.
1. The Hindu Times
Reminds me a lot of Do You Know What I Mean from Be Here Now. Just a good rockin' tune. Not much else.
2. Force of Nature
This one is growing on me, but I still need time with it to decide how I feel.
3. Hung In A Bad Place
I had to laugh when I saw this title, but it's a good tune. Liam sneering at his best. Good bass and drums.
4. Stop Crying Your Heart Out
A little cliche' but a good tune. More of the same along the lines of Wonderwall etc. Should be a good single.
5. Songbird
ok, but nothing to write home about in my opinion
6. Little By Little
A great tune, in the same vein as their classic Acquiese. I love this tune.
7. A Quick Peep
OASIS does Pink Floyd?????? Anyone else notice this?
8. (Probably) All In The Mind
Not a very exciting tune, but a good melody line. I don't see this translating well live. Too mellow, but a good tune nonetheless. Good solo in this song.
9. She Is Love
In my opinion, the standout track on this album. It really is Noel at his finest. This song practically makes me cry it's so good.
10. Born On A Different Cloud
Another great song, written by Liam. This and Better Man are the two other standout tracks on the album. Shows his ability to write great tunes.
11. Better Man
I love this song as well. Great as a closer.
Overall, better than Be Here Now & Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants. OASIS doesn't claim to write groundbreaking music. But they write great songs, and this album proves it. I was a big fan of Standing... but this album is better. I wish they would turn it up like they did on Definately Maybe. I think they could rock a bit harder than they did on this album, but overall, I'm very pleased.
What do other OASIS fans think?
