Well I never thought my first post on this forum would be about Oasis but it's the first topic to catch my attention.

For what it's worth, I think Don't Believe The Truth is a great album. No doubt whatsoever it's their best since Be Here Now. These guys are bloody talented and so what if they re-write the past when they do it so well.

i think it will be very silly to cancel any dates on the US tour..cos the album is doing pretty decent now on the Billboard charts ( #37 this week) close to 100k copies sold which is an improvement from Heathen Chemisty too.
i hope the US tour will boost album sales too,more people need to hear material from this album..i think it isnt doing as well as it should in US cos people are ignoring this album based on the previous 2 albums which got mixed reviews.

it'd be nice if it went at least Gold.... but i'd say to accomplish that they need a succesful u.s. tour (which it seems to be so far) and a few more hit singles or one really big single!

The next US single is Let There Be Love..and not sure if it's gonna do well..
i think if they can sell 200k it would already be an accomplishment

If they sell 200k thats fine with me! Oasis fans in the u.s are a special rare breed..... that's all it mean to me

sad but true..
somehow i still feel people are ignoring this album due to the failures of their previous 2 albums and slag the band off even before giving a listen

I picked this up today, I am impressed. So far I've heard "Lyla" through "Part of the Queue(sp?)" and its damn good. Its a shame that a lot of people are overlooking this based on Oasis' past records. I asked my teacher if he was gonna get it and he said no but he hasnt even heard this one, it was just based on the past few.

yeh this is what i was afraid of...overlooking based of past records..
Part of the Queue to me is really an underrated tune..its my favorite..but most people on the oasis forums dont rate it that highly

LedZepFan

So far its one of my favorites too

sadly it wont be a single as Liam confirmed..i think its a way better single than Let There Be Love or Love Like a Bomb

i think oasis just need to kick ass on this US tour to get people interested in them again and create some buzz about them, so far the reviews i've read have been positive, liam's voice sounds great, the band sounds tight and Zak is kicking ass on drums, can't wait until wednesday!

i half agree. dont think let there be love will do well as a single stateside. love like a bomb has potential i think. also keep the dream alive.

3 of Noel's gems on this album Part of the Queue,The Importance of Being Idle and Mucky Fingers all have pretty strong lyrics.These 3 songs for me kinda has a connection lyric wise

I can't believe Liam wrote a song like he did. Guess God Thinks I'm Abel is a badass song..Liam went balls out for this one

i was reading how the band thought the song was called Guess God Thinks I'm Mabel when Liam first rehearsed it.band was wondering why the hell does God think Liam is a girl named Mabel..:|
i think its a great song..but among the Liam tracks..i prefer The Meaning of Soul and Love Like a Bomb
GGTIA feels incomplete to me...really wished the did something with that outro

Jellyrolls

Is there anything this band can't do?

LedZepFan
