A very honest review, as an owner of every Oasis album to date i have to say that this is some of their best work for a few years.People have to remember that their sound has changed since the early days when they were young, edgy and innocent!! bands elvolve, so sit back and enjoy a genius at work

phil platt, st.helens,

I agree that it's more experimental, but song for song it's not nearly as good as Don't Believe the Truth, which the press seem to be dissing suddenly, despite it receiving good reviews and the Q album of the year in 2005. The last four tracks of Dig Out Your Soul (not written by Noel) are weak.

Forget the haters - this is a brilliant album, and as Matt says can now sit alongside DF and WTSMG proudly. The last one hinted at a major return to form and this confirms it. Watch it skyrocket I'd say.

Neil, Dublin, Ireland

This is all great but let us see how long it takes this time for them to get on tour and beat the hell out of one another. Irregardless, I love their music.

McClain, Flint, Mi, USA

That's a great review.

It's a great album from Oasis and one that finally sits proudly alongside Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory after nearly 13 years of waiting!

Matt, Inverness, UK

This is really dissapoitining, I thought Oasis' new album would be the the new Definitely Maybe, like everoyne said. To me, there are no epic songs on this, except for maybe bag it up. That really is the only song that KIND OF stand out. What happened to Masterplan, DLBIA, Slide Away esque songs?

Having witnessed Oasis tour definetely maybe at Irvine beach many moons ago I have been disappointed with every album since. Noel is great for tabloid soundbites but lost his edge as a songwriter as soon as the money started rolling in. Its a familiar tale!

"To Be Where There's Life"? Does Pat Metheny do a solo on that one?

Brian, Barnstable, MA , US

good review Pete although you should really be aware that track 6 - (Get off Your) High Horse Lady is sung by Noel and not Liam.......

Phil, London,

Here we go again with the hype. Every album since Morning Glory has been announced by critics as a return to form, which with hindsight has proved way of the mark. I suspect the same will happen here.

Chris, London, UK

Ive only heard the single on the radio which to be honest I found a bit bland and unexciting. I've come to expect better from Oasis, however this is an interesting review. I'll have to check it out and see how the whole album is

Martin, York, U.K.

Its a top album
I'd say its up there with Definitley maybe

Morning Glory still the best album ever

Only dodgy track i think is the Nature of Reality

Other than that top stuff

Just hope Pink doesnt beat them in the album chart as well as he singles lol

Johan, Wellington, New Zealand

You are confusing your 1966 Beatles songs - the drum rhythm on Falling Down is the same as Tomorrow Never Knows , and that on To Be Where There's Life is like Rain. The rhythm on get Off Your High Horse is similar to Give Peace A Chance even though that was not Ringo.

Tim , London, UK

Sounds like Liam not noel on Get of yr high hourse lady
