Liam lost his voice years ago.

I never realized that he had one in the first place.

When I saw Oasis in 2005, Liam sounded fantastic.

Same with me.

Ugh, Liam does sound wretched on those Wembley clips,

Oh, I'm not saying it's justified. There's no way it's as good as Definitely Maybe. But despite that, it's still a good album that, with a couple of changes, would be even better. Would it reach the level of the first two? No way, but it would be solid.

About the bonus tracks for DOYS: I've only heard a few of them (and if the rest are like Jagz Kooner's remix of TSOL then this is no bad thing...) but one track I really loved was the alt. version of Waiting For The Rapture. I actually think it's a lot better than the version which ended up on the album. The Boy With The Blues and I Believe In All are both quite good too.

YouTube - Oasis - Waiting for the rapture (Alternative Version #2)

intedomine · 10-21-2008, 05:57 PM

I Believe In All could've found itself a place on the album, even if it does sound quite similar to Travis' No Cigar.

cdisantis83 · 10-21-2008, 07:03 PM

"I Believe in All" probably should have replaced "Ain't Got Nothin'," in my opinion at least.

the tourist · 10-22-2008, 12:18 AM

I like Boy With The Blues better than I Believe In All. However, both would've fit nicely onto the album.

the tourist · 11-07-2008, 06:34 PM

Gosh, this album's so good! After a month, it's still my third favourite Oasis album.

martha · 11-07-2008, 06:41 PM

I am loving this record.

I think it may be album of the ~~year~~ decade.

intedomine · 11-08-2008, 06:05 AM

A month after release, I've gotta say I might be prefering DBTT overall....

Zoots · 11-08-2008, 11:58 AM

DBTT has Meaning Of Soul. Whereas this doesn't have a single weak track! IMO IMO

GirlsAloudFan · 11-08-2008, 01:11 PM

I prefer DOYS to DBTT. It feels like a more cohesive record. Noel obviously worked very hard on this one...with a clear vision of a record emphasizing the "groove" as he put it. The drums and bass really stand out on this album, in a great way. And Liam contributes the best song of his career (I'm Outta Time).

You don't like The Meaning of Soul?

That's my favourite DBTT track.

Are you serious? It's not that I hate it but it pales in comparison to the rest of the album. lol.

phanan · 11-08-2008, 01:53 PM

Both albums are excellent, but I give a slight edge to DBTT as well.

And I think it's a perfect, raw rock song. And the drum tones on the song are phenomenal.
