Don't Believe The Truth - Oasis

Q magazine in a review of "Don't Believe The Truth" describe the release of an Oasis album post "What's The Story Morning Glory" as being akin to a one night stand with an old flame -full of seductive words, excitement and high hopes only to crash around you into a situation of embarrassment, disillusionment and great disappointment. Thankfully DBTT is far from a one night stand with an old flame, not once did I feel bitterly disappointed nor cringe with embarrassment. Oasis have a way of hyping up their albums, bit by bit the album found it's way onto the net, pre-release concerts in intimate venues helped unleash a load of badly recorded bootlegs ...  Read the complete review

I write a review of this album in a straight line manner during which time I forget that this is definitely a perfect way of writing it. I wish to review a CD by the historical British band called Oasis. I know I exist but I have never existed to have surfaced on everything so I raise myself to surface on this review of the CD - Don't Believe the Truth. Now that would mean that to be writing about Earth music = humans would have definitely listened to over 300 hours of music in their whole life, thus, humans are very proud of musicians. If this has been the real case, would the people have ambitiously called Don't believe the truth, rather as a sufficient album? It is ...  Read the complete review

Oasis have been standing at the pinnacle of English ‘rock’ music for the majority of my duration at the very least, and quite rightly so, coming out with classics such as ‘Definitely Maybe’ which was a stunner of an album, it is no wonder that they are one of the most successful English bands ever. This newish offering is also worth mentioning in the same group of Oasis classics; it is fair to say that the Gallagher brothers have made their money and are now only still in the industry for the love of the money. I have heard them on stations saying this album actually mattered to them, and they are very happy with how it turned out, and to be honest, if you sit ...  Read the complete review

The return of Oasis has been probably one of the most anticipated albums of the year. They couldn't afford another album like Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants. In fact Noel was so cautious about this that after they'd finished the album he insisted they go back into the studio and rerecord half the album as he was wary of how it sounded. It's been three years since Heathen Chemistry and I was curious to see where Oasis went from there. The first single, Lyla, had sounded good and so the day it was released I was ready to part with my £8.99 for it. On first impression it sounded like a good album. They had continued to change direction away from the early ...  Read the complete review

So have always been a massive fan of Oasis. I really loved their first two albums, have seen them live and always enjoy their music. However since 'Definatley maybe' and 'What's the story' they have never been able to hit the same heights. So how does this album do compared to their earlier work? Well here it was I make of all the songs: 1. Turn Up The Sun - Not the best track. Lyrics not great, music a bit tame and it just lacks the blitz of some Oasis tracks. 6/10 2. Mucky Fingers - Excellent song. Really good sound that just pulse's live. Noel sings on this one and I do tend to prefer Noel singing than Liams. 9/10 3. Lyla - ...  Read the complete review
