 The beginning again. October 10, 2008

Oasis' 7th album shows the lads starting to return to Morning glory days. It is loud, exciting and thoughtful. They have gotten away from the past albums and moved back to what made them famous, great rock music. It takes a few listens to appreciate the music but worth the money!
 ...their greatest work since What's The Story Morning Glory! October 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Oasis returns to the music scene with their newest album in 3 years, Dig Out Your Soul. Like every album they've released since their heyday in the mid-90's, critics, fans, and the band themselves have raved about every album they've released, particularly the last 3, but the hype proved bogus on many occasions: their 2000 album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was messy, 2002's Heathen Chemistry was good but flawed. The only exception was 2005's Don't Believe The Truth which was great but had just a few sloppy moments. I am a huge Oasis fan, and I can honestly say that Dig out Your Soul is their greatest work since 1995's What's The Story Morning Glory!
The album opens up with the aggressive rocker Bag It Up, Noel's ode to the days when he used to get high, which features crisp vocals by Liam. With lyrics like "Someone tell me I'm dreaming, the freaks are rising up from the floor", Bag It Up can't go wrong, and finds itself amongst Noel Gallagher's classiest rock anthems. This is followed by the toned down, low-key rocker The Turning, which has fast become one of Noel's best compositions and songwritings despite recent claims of plagiarism from a Cliff Richards song. The song features excellent singing by Liam, and has even more interesting lyrics than Bag It Up, take for example the chorus that starts with "So come on, shake your rag doll, baby, before you change your mind." Noel takes over singing duties next with Waiting for the Rapture, a song that borrows the guitar riff from The Doors' Five to One, and, for what its worth, is a great song. The first single, the fast paced, wildly aggressive rocker The Shock of the Lightning comes next, and it is quite simply Oasis's finest single in years. Hearing it the first time, it gave me flashbacks of hearing Definitely Maybe in 1994, particularly the songs Rock 'n Roll Star and Supersonic. The song comes charging at you like a stampede of bulls running through the wilderness. Liam's beautiful ballad, and only ballad on the album, and future hit single, I'm Outta Time, follows. It's a song that Liam doesn't shy away from showing his affection towards his rock hero John Lennon, and expressing his vulnerability with lyrics like, "If I'm to fall, would you be there to applaud?" The song even includes a Lennon soundbite from an interview he made with the BBC 2 days before his untimely death.
Noel returns to the vocals in the next 2 songs, the first, the heavily psychedelic Get Off Your High Horse Lady, a song I've described as a cowboy ditty on acid. The second song is Noel's best, and one of the highlights on Dig Out Your Soul, the elusive Falling Down, where Noel questions his religious belief. Up next is the George Harrison influenced, Gem Archer penned, To Be Where There's Life, a song that doesn't include any guitars, but relies mostly on bass, sitars, and Zak Starkey's drums. The song does feature the best singing by Liam on the entire album in my own humble opinion. Speaking of Liam, the next song is his second where he's credited as songwriter. The song is Ain't Got Nothin', and even though I despised the song when it first leaked online about 3 months ago, I've come to appreciate its straightforwardness. The song is about the fight Liam was invloved in a Munich hotel in 2002, and includes, as a result, Liam screaming and cussing in faded out vocals near the end of the song as to act out the fight. Andy Bell's The Nature of Reality is next, and it is one of my personal favorites on the album. A loud cool rocker, layered with cool guitar riffs influenced by The Beatles and to some extent Led Zeppelin. It succeeds thanks to Liam's snarling lines like "The nature of reality is pure subjective fantasy". It's also the closest sounding song to Definitely Maybe, particulary the song Columbia. The final song on the album is Soldier On, the third song written by Liam, which after repeated listenings will reveal its depth, and a fantastic way to end another Oasis classic album.
My final verdict on this album is that it is massive! Oasis are definitely back with a vengeance. For those who've had doubts about Oasis's legitamacy as one of the greatest rock bands of our time, this album will, and should, wash all that away!
I'm mad for it all over again!
Highly recommended

Refreshed Without Losing the Essence October 23, 2008
From venezuela:
A pretty good record, new melodies, good lyrics from the band, a good show of good music
The DVD shows how much they have grown as a band, exploring instruments and sounds ... stages of pre-and post-production of the disc, and additional sites, among them we see that the disc was recorded at Abbey Road, you know what I mean ... that you enjoy ...
oh! a last detail: the presentation of the disc is in cardboard, much like a book. (very good)
 Better when it was called "Don't Believe the Truth" October 28, 2008
Another great effort by Oasis, but it's a continuation of the same sound we got from Don't Believe the Truth. As Noel himself said, there aren't any singles on this album. Unfortunately, that means there's no "Champagne Supernovas" "Don't Look Back in Angers" or any other songs with great hooks.
That isn't to say this isn't a good album, it's just not great.

WOW Oasis is back and raise the bar again! November 20, 2008
Dig out your soul is an album made by masterful muscians. Oasis have really matured and have raised the bar with their new album. This album is the most modern sounding Oasis album. Upon frequent listens the sound texture is truly remarkable.
'Bag it up' uses very rythmic power chords and ambiguous psychedelic lyrics that let you interpret the meaning in many differnt ways.
'The Turning' is easly the best song on the album. It has such powerful religious imagery and a melody that reminds anyone who might have forgoten why Noel Gallagher is a master of melody.
'Waiting for the Rapture' is a Noel sung song. It uses a heavy guitar riff under some very personal lyrics about a love that 'picked him off the ground' that put him in a 'trance'. A very Heavy short tune.
'The Shock of the Lighning' is a song that just explodes with energy and pounds away with unrelenting passion. This is a highlight for sure.
'I'm outta time' was written by Liam and fits very nicely after some heavy tunes prior. The song has a tranquil feeling to it and features some of Liam's best ever vocals on it.
'Get off you high horse lady' is a Noel written and song track. The song really kicks in nicely at the 1:40 mark. Noel uses vocal effects to mask his voice a bit. Even though one might consider this a weak track it is supremely catchy. I find myself singing this blusy melody often.
'Falling down' is next track and WoW. Sung by Noel this tune is completly different for Oasis. They really use the texture of piano and drums to create a captivating soundscape. This along with the lyrics makes one feel lost in space. The lyrics are incredible by the way."I tried to talked with god to no avail'. Powerful stuff in my opinion.
'To be where there's life' was written by Gem. The groovy bass line really pushes this song forward. Oasis used no guitar in this track to see if "they could get away with it". One could almost not tell that there's no guitar on it because the song is just so powerful and electric in sound intensity.
'Ain't got nothing' was written by Liam and is very short but rocks its butt off. The drums once again are immense. This song is about Liam's time in jail after a fight a few years back and one can almost hear the cop siren's in the backround.
'The nature of reality' written by Andy Bell has a wonderful guitar riff that slices your brain open. The lyrics are some of the best on the album and fits together with some of the religious themes on the album.
'Soldier on' written by Liam uses echoing effects on the lyrics in the verse. That adds to the hypnotic feeling to the tune. The 'Na Na Na' part is very peaceful to my ears. The song ends by repeating 'Soldier On' in a very trippy marching way. All in all the song makes one feel a little braver strapping on their boots and stepping out into the cold world.
Dig out your soul is easly the best album of the year. Oasis really put alot of effort and love in creating this modern day masterpiece. Do yourself a favor a buy this NOW. You will not be disappointed. .....'And all in good time'!
