    WOW! :eek: took 'em 13 years to make another GREAT album.

    Dig Out Your Soul is incredible! Their most ass-kickin' and rockin' album they've made thus far.

    "To Be Where There's Life" is probably the track I don't really like. The rest of tracks are solid.

    A non-fan would enjoy this album. I'm an abandoned fan, I guess. ;)

    I have a hard time believing is the most ass kickin, rockin album. It may be impossible to make anything as good as Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory again. I still have yet to listen to the record. I just got the new Coldplay the other day and have been just listening to that basically.

    This is a pure rock album...not pop-rock, not Brit pop-rock either. Just plain ass-kickin rock record.

    Not as good as Definitely Maybe but better than Morning Glory though in my opinion.

    Just as long as it is better than DBTT. For awhile it was basically every Oasis record being worse than the one before it (which is still better than most bands best but not as good as they should be) and that trend really needs to change.

    Other than Falling Down and I'm Outta Time this album completely blows. It sounds like a bad parody of 60's psychedelia. I own every Oasis album and have seen them 3 times so I'm not just some hater of the band.

    well, I have hated everything they've done the last 10 years and yet I really like this album.

    I guess it's the great for non-Oasis or casual fans.

    I don't have have DBTT or SOTSG so I can't compare it to their recent works. Heathen Chemistry sucked, and this new album is much better!

    Just getting my first listen this morning and I too think this is a big comeback for them....sounds damn good to me. I personally loved Be Here Now and this album, based on one listen, is by far their best since.

    Did anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance of the opening of "Waiting for the Rapture" to the Doors "Five to One?" Don't care, just pointing that out, because both songs fuckin' rock.

    First Metallica and now Oasis....it's a good year for comebacks!

    And for those of you who are like me and don't know jack about FLAC and can't find the mp3s, check it out here

    I wondered that myself....don't recall an entire being posted on myspace before its release. Whatever, I'm glad they did

    Best song: (Tie) Im Outta Time and The Turning

    Most surprising departure:To Be Where There's Life

    Song most likely to cause the typical "they ripped off the Beatles" reaction: The Nature of Reality

    Most rocking: Shock of The Lightning

    Overall a very moody album but definately a needed change and an amazing effort. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

    Don't you guys agree that the beginning of Waiting for the Rapture is a total FiveToOne copy?

    Petrocs: I pretty much agree with your assessment, 4 to 4-1/2 definitely. I knew they still had it in 'em....I just wish I had the opportunity to see them on this tour especially now that I've heard the new stuff, but, alas, I do not

    Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the first idiot review...and guess where its from? Rolling Stone!

    2 1/2 stars out of 5

    From the beginning, Oasis' greatest strength and most glaring weakness has been shamelessness — the belief that no classic-rock riff is too timeworn, no Beatles allusion too banal to merit blasting out at top volume. At its best, this brutish approach has produced some transcendent music ("Live Forever," "Wonderwall"), but as years have passed and gray hair has sprouted in the Gallagher brothers' moptops, the self-parody has often seemed less charming than wearying. Oasis' latest is heavier on groove than normal, and there are a couple of gripping moments, especially Liam's stately, Lennonesque ballad "I'm Outta Time." But for the most part, Dig Out Your Soul is an almost comically generic Oasis release, from its preponderance of plodding midtempo rockers ("Bag It Up," "Waiting for the Rapture") to the vaguely Indian raga-flavored psychedelic anthems ("To Be Where There's Life"). Then there's the issue of Liam's "philosophizing" — he's entered the Maharishi phase of his Beatles worship, clogging songs with beatitudes like "Space and time and here and now/Are only in your mind." Got that?
