STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS (2000). Great album. Love the more experimental nature of it. The biggest sin is the band changing their classic logo. And what a blatant The Doors rip off ”Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is” is.

Not sure if anything from this album merits 5 stars...
1. Go Let It Out (4.5 stars)
2. Gas Panic! (4 stars)
3. Fuckin' In The Bushes (4 stars)
4. Roll It Over (3.5 stars)
5. Who Feels Love (3 stars)
6. Sunday Morning Call (3 stars)
7. Where Did It All Go Wrong? (3 stars)
8. Put Yer Money Where Your Mouth Is (2.5 stars)
9. I Can See A Liar (2 stars)
10. Little James (1.5 stars - at best)
The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" is arguably better than every one of the above tunes
Admittedly, I feel the world was a bit too hard on SOTSOG. It doesn't have the big hits like the 1990s albums but it's still a solid record for the most part. I feel the opposite about the next one.
HEATHEN CHEMISTRY (2002). ”Stop Crying Your Heart Out” is beautiful, ”Songbird” is surprisingly cute and ”The Hindu Times” is just damn cool. Back in 2002 I always heard the chorus in ”The Hindu Times” as ”’Cause God, give me a role in your Rock ’n’ Roll band” though which is proof I should have a god damn rock band.

Oh, I seemed to have forgot to include She is Love. It's cheeky. 3/5

DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH (2005). Great production. Nice garagey sound to the album. Some great songs on here too but nothing that hits it out of the park.

A consistent album but, as you mentioned, nothing that deserves five stars. 1. Lyla (4.5 stars) 2. The Importance of Being Idle (4 stars) 3. Guess God Thinks I'm Abel (3.5 stars) 4. Turn Up The Sun (3.5 stars) 5. A Bell Will Ring (3.5 stars) 6. Keep The Dream Alive (3 stars) 7. Mucky Fingers (3 stars) 8. Part of the Queue (2.5 stars) 9. Love Like A Bomb (2.5 stars) 10. Meaning of Soul (2 stars) 11. Let There Be Love (2 stars)
DIG OUT YOUR SOUL (2008). Oasis could have ended with a far worse album. This has some really great and fun songs. Too bad we will never see another one.

It'll happen...probably not for another 10 years but it will
