Oasis - Don't Believe The Truth - Page 6

The "Lyla" B-side "Won't Let You Down" is even more Lennonesque, I think. It and "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" are both brilliant. Liam's really coming along.

Speaking of stolen beats, "Mucky Fingers" is so obviously "Waiting for the Man" and the drums in "A Bell Will Ring" remind me a lot of "Tomorrow Never Knows." Man, I love these guys.

I love A Bell Will Ring, the drums you mention sound like bricks being dropped on a pavement,

and Mucky Fingers has some of Noel's best lyrics ever, and also a different take on the Oasis wall-of-sound approach.

I think people aren't keen on SOTSOG for two main reasons:

1. To borrow the words of a NME reviewer, some of the songs are merely "simple sketches" that should have been embelished upon but were not. (see Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is). This perhaps gave it a rushed, unfinished feel that conveyed the impression that they just didn't care.

2. Some people didn't like the sound of SOTSOG. It was very psychodelic (sp?) and quite a dark album.

Personally, I kinda like the angsty feel to much of the album and quite enjoy the 'far out man' effects on songs like Who Feels Love? But I'd have to agree that many of the songs do sound unfinished, the potential to be great but in the end only good for me, sorry!

As for DBTT, I'm enjoying it and I think that's the important thing but the single choices have been a bit

IMHO The Importance of Being Idle is very much an album track like many say Don't Look Back In Anger was. I wanna see some Liam tracks released because they're the ones that (again, borrowing the words of a reviewer) sound really "fresh" and different. I've already commented on TIOBI but to come back after 3 years with Lyla as the first single just seemed weird to me 'cos I don't think it's a 'Wow!' track. Whereas one of the Liam ones do sound quite un-Oasis (even though people will start the whole Beatles thing about them again) AND would get a lot of airplay as there are quite catchy.

Just my thoughts.

great album - even better live.... MOS kicks ass

tuwie · 08-07-2005, 10:56 PM

i've never heard any oasis songs, but since a lot of u2 and coldplay fans seem to like them a lot, i think i'll give it a try.
which songs do you guys recommend i start off with?

Never heard an Oasis song!

Well I'm sure you've heard Wonderwall. You probably just don't know who the artist is. One of the most recognisable and defining songs of the 1990's.

It would seem logical to get 1994's Definitely Maybe first (being the debut album), but if you want to hear what is universally recognised as the band at their peak, then get (What's the Story) Morning Glory (1995).

If you're looking to download a few songs as a means of sampling Oasis, I suggest:

Rock and Roll Star
Supersonic
Morning Glory
Wonderwall
Be Here Now (song)
D'you know what I mean
Gas Panic!
The Meaning Of Soul

and the new single

The Importance of Being Idle

Oasis are one of the most maligned bands in the world, yet also one of those most exhillarating.

Irishteen · 08-08-2005, 04:02 AM

Okay so long story short when I heard Whats the story morning glory, I loved it, one of ym favourite albums of all time, the year I heard that album, they released HC and i hated it so much, except Little by little, and stop crying your heart out which i loved, a week ago i decided to get this album and well, it is brillant, and kicks ass over Coldplays X&Y, so IMO Oasis are back, Coldplay are finished

Meaning of Soul just is Liam to a T.

Did anyone see Oasis on tour this summer? I dont know if theres already a thread on them live.. but whatevs. I saw them at Milton Keynes, I wasn't hugely impressed to be honest, but maybe that was cos the last band I saw before them was U2 and they set the standard too high!

Oasis didn't really seem to have much to give the audience other than the songs.. I know this is how they perform but it just made it a bit dull. Obviously the classics like Wonderwall were great and Champagne Supernova moved me to tears lol but thats a different matter. The Importance of Being Idle impressed me but the rest of the new songs weren't really up to par. Anyone else have an opinion?

*BOOMCHAA!* · 08-08-2005, 02:32 PM

I'll see them next month.

Anyway: great album!

'Mucky Fingers' sounds a lot like 'Waiting for the Man' by The Velvet Underground, at least the rhythm.
