NEED TO LET THIS GROW ON YOU:
Great Oasis's disc are generally consistent from top to bottom. They also have a great, "can't live without" type single as well. The second LP was chock full of them and the last one had a great one in "Lyla". This CD doesn't have a truly great single type standout track. However, one should not pass this CD up because it is generally strong from top to bottom. The use of tamboura is a nice touch. These guys know how to make strong records and this one is no exception.
The Return of the Kings of Manchester:
With this cd, Oasis has proven that the success of "Don't Believe the Truth" was not a flash in the pan and that they were able to grow and change their sound, albeit at their own pace. Not ones to follow any current fashion trend, the Gallagher Brothers generously borrow from four decades of British Rock and Roll granduer to create a album that leaves the listener wanting more. The album has a much more consistant feel to it than the previous one did.
Classic Album: Will Stand Time's Test with the Best:
I fell in love with the track Shock of the Lightning (Track 4) the first time I heard it. The reviews online actually alerted me to the presence of the album which I bought at (ahem) Amazon.com.

That said, the tension between these two artists is so strong that it... more info
A new favorite of mine:
I'm no die-hard Oasis fan. I have What's the Story(Morning Glory), and that's one of my favorite CDs ever. I also have Don't Believe the Truth, and that's a very decent album. I got Dig Out Your Soul, hoping I'd like it, and I love it. I don't care for tracks 8 or 10, but the rest of it is very solid, and I found the songs stuck in my head after the first listen. I highly recommend this CD to anyone. There's such a good atmosphere to these songs, and they're all different from each other.
