Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Oasis have been accused of losing it and recovering it more times than any sane mind should rightfully remember, but whatever trajectory their controversial discography takes from here, Don’t Believe The Truth should come out looking like a rather proud success. Partly, it’s because Liam and Noel sound on such rude form: the younger, fronting with some of the old menace and successfully channelling his rather simplistic songwriting impulses on the lightly trippy, shaker-ridden "Guess God Thinks I’m Abel"; the elder playing some of his more devious tricks, imagining The Beatles’ Revolver played by a Mariachi band on "The Importance Of Being Idle", and doffing a cap to late-period Velvet Underground on "Mucky Fingers". Partly, though, it’s because Oasis sound like they’re functioning less like a not-so-benevolent dictatorship and more like a real band again. With only five songs written by Noel, contributions from Liam, guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell have space to spread their wings a little: in particular, Bell’s "Turn Up The Sun" – a gargantuan opener that sees Liam deliver one of his best opening lines to date ("I carry the madness/ Everywhere I go") – proves mighty testament to Oasis’ new democratic bent. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Don't Believe The Lies (and idiot reviews below)Constructive criticism is one thing, but some of the scathing reviews I have read on here are nothing short of pathetic. Quite what the hell people expect from Oasis in this day and age is beyond me. After years of relative underachievement, 'DBTT' should be celebrated not berated. Between the release of 'Supersonic' in 1994 and the enormity of Knebworth in 1996, Oasis were untouchable. Two classic albums, nine fantastic singles (with phenomenal b-sides often topping them), a clutch of era-defining gigs... they weren't a band, they were living legends, and like many teenagers back then, Oasis meant the world to me. But 'Be Here Now', for all its inspired moments (DYKWIM?, Fade In/Out, Don't Go Away) arguably ... Read More: Rating:  - Worse than worstWhy the hell were the Gallaghers ever allowed to get near a recording studio. Ones is a loud mouth yob with a Lennon fixation. The other a talentless rip-off merchant. Boring tuneless drivel. What on earth is a talent like Andy Bell doing playing second fiddle. If you want to hear superb rock guitar listen to Andy on Ride's 'Grasshopper'. If you want to hear anything better than Oasis try anything-even the Osmonds!! Rating:  - Nice singles but propably their worst album.Be Here Now is a pretty controversial album, standing on the shoulders is too. Heathen Chemistry seems to have bared the brunt of a critical and public shunning and this one for some reason this is held up by fans as their best in 8 years. The thing is the period following from WTSMG where Oasis abandoned their pop rock tendencies to write deeper music and experiment a bit has been cut off dead. Heathen Chemistry was a bag of tricks, some less well realised than others, it was also Oasis's most recent strong album with loads of great songs that didn't get on the best of LP. This album however sees Oasis writing a lot of songs that sound the same. Turn up the Sun is an attempt to make a tidy opener. We all know the best way ... Read More: Rating:  - Unfairly TreatedOasis are the last bastion of real Rock, they deserve better treatment. They've kept good music alive for at least a little while longer while utter dross like the Hoosiers and Girls Aloud release their appaling 'music' but still its oasis who get bad press because this isnt as good as their first 2 albums. Well thats unfair, oasis are rock legends and this is some way better than anything else that was in the charts at the time of its release. Just stop criticising it and show some respect! Rating: - The Future Is In This Album...... for Oasis that is. It's certainly not on terms with their debut or follow up, but it easily surpasses anything most artists release these days. This album show incredible maturity and doesn't try desperately to sound like the 'old' Oasis, like on the previous album Heathen Chemistry. Lyrically, it's one of Oasis best, and Liam just gets better with his songs on each album. The production is stripped right down - a far cry from Be Here Now - and attempts to sound like something from the 60s. And thankfully, it works. The album shows a lot of potential for future work and let's hope they keep it up. |
