I definately dont think you quite grasp reality...if you think this album and DBTT sucked then you have no taste in music...Heathen Chemistry wasnt a great album I'll agree but 1 bad album in 7 is better than most bands can muster. And your whole statement about guys who go to Oasis concerts is absurd.

I took the ride to the record store yesterday to pick it up (all I got in my town is WalMart) and it passed my driving test big time. I'm always hesitant to proclaim the greatness of an album after one proper listen, but this is good shit....possibly their best yet. Oasis isn't going to reinvent the wheel or do anything drastically different than what you've heard from them before and frankly I don't want them to. It's a damn good rock n roll album and that's what I wanted to hear. In my opinion, they do the Beatles better than the Beatles ever did.
Also, I picked up the cd/dvd edition, which includes an interesting 30-minute documentary on making the album as well as a making-of-the-video for Shock of the Lightning and the video.
Still one of the best bands in the world for my money.

It would be worth buying another if you are a big fan. It kind of takes you through every song and gives little tidbits about them. For instance, the crazy noise at the beginning of Fallling Down is the sounds of the gulls (or whatever bird) at the end of Get Off Your High Horse played backwards
Find a friend who wants it and doesn't care much about the dvd, sell your copy to them and go buy the deluxe!

really enjoying this album... i love how it all merges together.. it's like something from the great late 60s period of british/us music... i really love the different drum sounds & beats, the swirling circular guitars, the vocals are great.. noels being transformed in one song to sound distorted.

Shawn Smith Collective

i think it's one of their strongest efforts to date. i own their entire catalog of albums, complete b-sides and several rarities and as much as i love most of that stuff, this album is blowing me away. i've always found myself skipping through their albums, but not on this one. really a great record!

haha, i have to agree that their last 3 albums weren't that great, but i bet you haven't even heard the new one, so who are you to give an opinion?.....anyway i just had to respond after your comment about keeping the record label happy. that was funny because the record company is owned by noel. oasis is technically an indie band these days believe it or not.


this is the best oasis album since be here now by the way. cheers.

Wow! I'm on my third listen and I'm really impressed. It's been a really long time since I've bought a CD and liked every single song on it. This is one great album!

lowlight10

after three days of listening, these 3 songs might be in the top 10 Oasis songs ever, and that's saying a lot:

The Turning
Shock of the Lightning
To Be Where There's Life

awesome!

I agree with you!

So does anybody else think that this is the worst Oasis record? I would rather listen to it right now than DBTT because I just got it days ago but I am not too impressed. The album is lacking good hooks, lyrics, and it really isnt as experimental/psychedelic as Noel said it was going to be.

Eh, me thinks he is suffering from the elavated hopes syndrome...to which no album can stand up. I'm still loving the hell out of it myself. It hasn't left the cd player in my truck

I think the album is alright, but the lyrics are very uninspiring if you know what I mean

lowlight10

if any of you have heard the bonus disc available with the boxset only, I love how the verses in the Shock of the Lightning remix are right on top of each other. Liam finishes one and goes right into the next. I wish they had mixed teh album version that way. Great song!

Reason #7.325 to hate the American music taste:

Next Week's US Album Chart Projections:

Four debuts, and maybe five, are headed for next week’s leader board, led by Rise Against (Geffen/Interscope) with a projected 70-75k cd sales. That total appears to be enough for a #2 finish behind reigning champ TI (Grand Hustle/Atlantic), who has enough momentum to wind up with another 175-200k in week two. Then we’ve got #3 Jennifer Hudson (Arista/RMG) with 65-70k, #4 Metallica (Warner Bros.) with 60-65k, Oasis’ first for (Warner Bros.) bowing at #5 with 55-60k and #6 Ne-Yo (Def Jam/IDJ) with 50-55k.

Most of the songs are uninspiring. Definitely my least favorite of their records, half of the songs seem like filler to me and although I like a few others, nothing really blows me away. I am already kinda sick of it, it might be alright as background music.
