    Anybody hear the cover they just recorded of Within You, Without You? It is quite good.

    They made the two best rock n roll albums of the 90's(Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory).

    Is it really that hard to not read a thread of a band you hate?

    How is it fucking terrible when it has the same sound as Morning Glory?

    I liked Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory, but starting with Be Here Now, it started sounding like the same songs over and over only with different lyrics. I don't hate them or change the song when they come on, but it's not like I get excited about their music anymore.

    I share the same opinion, Be Here Now was terrible.

    The Masterplan b-side collection is great.

    So just get Def. Maybe, M.Glory, & MP...

    If you hate them, please explain yourself. I listened to them in the beginning and then just kinda stopped for awhile during what seems to be a backlash against them but after hearing Stop Crying Your Heart Out at the end of Butterfly Effect I went back and listened to the stuff I missed out on and realized that they are actually an amazing band that have constantly produced great music. Do you guys hate them only because of things they said to the media or do you hate their music? If you hate the music, why?

    they haven't made great music since be here now, only a few gems from the next three albums here and there, the masterplan was great but that was just b sides from older stuff. that said, i'm still a fan.

    Oasis released two great albums in DM and WTSMG, and also had a few really good songs on The Masterplan and Be Here Now. Their best stuff is long behind them and the new stuff really isnt anything better than average in my opinion.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    dont believe the truth is the best they've done since morning glory and rivals those first two albums. yes, some of the middles were not quite as great, but i'd not write them off yet. esp on a message board for a band whose career arc has been remarkably similar ;)

    Its all personal opinion at the end of the day but i honestly cant see how the new album can even be compared to DM and WTSMG. The new album i found really quite boring at times, just really uninteresting. I think WTSMG in particular is a fantastic album but they have got gradually worse and more samey as time had gone on in my opinion.

    i'd argue the same can be said of pearl jam, who had been on an experimental decline before making a pretty tame back-to-basics album. it's in the eye of the beholder. if you're a pj fan, you will make excuses for how their mediocre albums are worth hearing and their new album is really good while not giving the same slack to oasis becos you have less invested. if you're an oasis fan, you'll have excuses for why be here now through the new one are worth hearing as well. to the casual fan, neither of these bands has done anything worth hearing since their second or third album. pesonally, oasis is in the same boat as pearl jam to me... a mediocre album by either band is better than 95% of what's out there. i happen to love the last oasis album, they haven't had that kind of bright, attitude album since morning glory. i love the last pearl jam album for similar reasons: it was a warm, rocking album that got back to what they did best. to an oasis fan, they'd say the same about pearl jam you're saying about oasis. and to joe rock fan, he'd say they've both sucked since morning glory/vitalogy. :)

    I agree with you about DBTT. I dont have any desire to listen to DBTT anytime soon. Only two good songs (neither of which I would put amongst their best), the rest are mediocre or bad.

    I agree with that line of a mediocre album by either band is better than 95% of what I have heard out there. What shines for me on PJ's last album was the lyrics, I can relate to the lyrics on it more than any other album by them......cant really say the same about DBTT. I also thought DBTT was really going backwards, I cant stand that they pretty much eliminated all distortion and the songs are so simple that I can pick up my guitar and start playing along with them right away just by listening (I suck at guitar by the way)

    i like that. they were at their best doing the straight ahead big pop rock sound. the album was so lively, as opposed to the 2 previous which were very tripped out and distant, let alone the bloated bombast of be here now.

    not to interrupt the discussion, but does anyone here who follows oasis pretty closely know what's going on with them, and when or if they are working on a new record? i haven't kept up with them in the last couple years as much as i used to and i really have no idea.

    Possibly releasing their next album for free via download....
