Yeah, it's there on iTunes, but only if I download the whole DBTT album, which I already own. Fuckers. I did get the Best Buy version with the 5-song live bonus disc though.

"pass me down the wine" is an exclusive and you can only download it if you buy the album through Itunes, bastards!

(finally, thanks to pushmepullme for the more insightful post explaining why he thinks Oasis are shit. it showed a much higher level of civility and discourse than we often see around here. kudos.)

No problemo. I Noel is one of the more intelligent and funny 'rock stars' around.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is my favourite Oasis the first two albums are two poppy and the 3rd the songs are too long. SOTSOG is perfect for me, it's more rock n' roll than al the other albums.

i agree with Be Here Now being too long and draggy..but Definitely Maybe poppy? nah not at all..WTSMG maybe..

i don't consider definitely maybe poppy, WTSMG yes. DM is the snottiest, in your face album oasis ever released, that's why it's my favorite album

yeh DM is very rock n roll!!
Personally i still prefer WTSMG over DM...but i think Slide Away is better than any song on WTSMG

i can't quit singing the importance of being idle. "i can't get a life if my heart's not in it" gotta love it!

yeh dun get why many hate this song and protest it being the next single.
i really love the lyrics to it and Part of the Queue
that line from TIOBI actually reminds me of the line in rock n roll star where Liam sings " Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?"

I love all the albums, but maybe now that i'm a bit older i find standing on the shoulder of Giants more classic rock!

yea pass me down the wine is a great song.

the lyla bsides are okay, wont let you down is okay, and eyeball tickler is a pretty good rocking song.

i dont think many have mentioned the japanese bonus tracks. sitting here in silence (on my own) is a great song, and i can see it now is good as well.

i haven't heard them yet..waiting for them to appear on b-sides

AxlUlrich

for those who havent seen it..heres a performance of Lyla on german tv..and below has an interview with the band too..enjoy..

streaming the album as I type, I love "turn up the sun", the snottiness is back definitely a better opener than "the hindu times" IMO.

mucky fingers is awesome too, love the sound of noels voice and that's as far as I got, heh, but so far not disappointed at all!

yeh Noel's vocals have really improved..noticed that...Turn Up the Son is a great opener..especially love the outro...intro does remind me of Travis alittle

i definitely noticed that too, Noel hasn't sounded so crisp since "talk tonight"...so far my favorite track is "the meaning of soul".

this album is by far an improvement, the songs are concise, not bloated or overproduced and overall, it's the probably the best Oasis album since WTSMG
