I wondered that myself....don't recall an entire being posted on myspace before its release. Whatever, I'm glad they did
i mean ive seen lesser known bands do that, but i wouldnt think somebody as big as oasis would do that. like you said, im glad they did bc it rocks so far.
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
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

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?
the album is streaming on their myspace page... which maybe petrocs has already said... i'm going to eat a kebab and then listen to it.. i've resisted downloading it and will buy it on monday, like all proper fans do
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

I have and I cant stop speaking the praise of this genious..hope you like it as well and I'll be in line Tuesday for it
that's what I have heard; I wanted to wait for the CD release. still some romance in that tuesday of an anticipated CD release, like opening a bottle of wine.

"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"
I'm checking it out on their myspcae page and it's very good. I thought their last album was the first solid album they released since "Be Here Now" and this one is a strong effort to follow that up. "The Turning" is excellent. "To Be Where There's Life" reminds me of the Verve's good stuff. "falling Down" is another one that immediately stuck out as one that I'll play over and over.
I've listened to it a few times. I wasn't impressed at first, but I dig it's "feel now.
"There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
"Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
"Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."
as an old rocknroll fan I loved almost every song on the album, I just cant stand the fact that rolling stone's nasty (and nut funny at all) attitude towards to bands which's actually pretty good. almost every fucked up reviewer on the magazine thinks he's a rock god or some shit. I mean whats to point of giving to score to a piece of music! this is about melodies man, whether you like it or not you can't fuckin rate it. same guy reviewed some p.diddy album months ago who fuckin knows! cmon people just listen what you want not some butthole who writes his dumb thoughts about what is good or not!
Oasis’s best records should be heard in bars, with lots of people talking and a game on the television. Its giant planes of guitar sound and Liam Gallagher’s slow-motion nasal burr — one of the great British sounds — complement the petty emotions and electronic hum that surround us in public places; the songs’ lyrics, trivial and social, keep time sliding along. Any bar will do, though Oasis albums since “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants,” from 2000, might go better in a wine bar. The songs would fit the clientele: slower, more self-conscious, less invincible.
But “Dig Out Your Soul,” the group’s seventh studio album, should be heard in a really good stereo showroom: an extraordinary one with high-end stuff, and where the salesmen might let you have beer and chips while you listen. Produced by Dave Sardy, the record is an interior trip, rich with guitar and voices and organs and keyboards, some of the sonic layers scuffed and some clear as water. You get the full measure of the sound because the songs stay in single chords for longer. It’s an expensive record valorizing the drone.
It sounds so good; really, it sounds better than it is. Noel Gallagher, the band’s guitarist and principal songwriter, wrote half the album and the best of its droney tracks: “Bag It Up,” “The Shock of the Lightning,” “(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady.” They all go down in the first half, and they’re not fascinating; they don’t particularly show off his skill for the unexpected chord change. As ambitious as it is in the experience of sound and groove, “Dig Out Your Soul” is unambitious in songwriting content.
It’s derivative too — mostly, and unsurprisingly, of the Beatles, the Gallaghers’ favorite band. There are small echoes of many post-“Revolver” Beatles songs: sharp, pinpointed references, specific sounds on specific guitar chords, piano figures, and drum rhythms played by Zak Starkey, Ringo Starr’s son. (A nearly inaudible clip of a John Lennon interview, from shortly before his death, rustles through the background of Liam Gallagher’s ballad “I’m Outta Time.”) But it doesn’t stop at the Beatles: “High Horse Lady” welds together David Essex’s “Rock On” and Tommy Tucker’s “High Heel Sneakers.”
These songs are heavy with thoughts about time. They’re mildly philosophical, but not so spiritual that they would make you put down the beer and chips. “The Nature of Reality” is, offhandedly, about the nonexistence of objective truth. And “Soldier On,” with its endless-march feeling borrowed from the end of “I Am the Walrus,” is pure stiff-upper-lip: “Who’s to say that you were right and I was wrong/Soldier on/Come the day, come the night, I’ll be gone/Soldier on.” BEN RATLIFF
Dig Out Your Soul is out in your local record store today. When was the last time you picked up a truly good rock n roll album for your collection? Go have listen , The boys are back
oasis is just amazing
i'm sure this album will be no exception!
i've recently heard their new single on KROCK "the shock of the lightning' and think its great!
CANT WAIT to hear the rest!!
it is great. i am listening to it right now. thought the piano chord progression on the second tune sounds an awful lot like a liam finn tune from his 'i'll be lightining' record. not a big deal. found myself singing the finn lyrics over the song.
I got the album today and its got some good stuff but I am far from impressed with a number of songs. I think the tracklisting is quite poor.
Here is how I rank the top 5 songs after 2 listens
Im Outta Time
The Shock Of The Lightning
The Nature Of Reality (the guitar reminds me a bit of Neil Young, its quite bluesy)
To Be Where Theres Life
Falling Down
Alpine Valley 2000
Summerfest 2006
"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?" -Lisa Simpson
dead on arrival. nobody gives a shit about Oasis these days. the only people who go to their shows are guy's who want to get laid by their girlfriends after they hear Wonderwall. the last inspired thing they did was "Be Here Now" back in 1997 and the best thing they ever did was "Definitely Maybe" back in 1994. these last x3 albums are just to keep the record label happy and give them an excuse to tour and play the same setlist as the past x10 years.
Its got some real 'growers' as well.....some songs I originally thought 'meh whatever' I absolutely love now
On another issue, anybody hear any rumours about a new Eden Project date for the postponed show.....i'm getting paranoid now that its not gonna happen cos they rescheduled the other dates almost straight away Any info or even pure speculation would be great

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
