Lisa Cuddy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Listening to this album in the car the now. Why was it so slated? I honestly has no idea. The songs are pretty solid. The reprise of 'All Around The World' at the end is superb too. It got slated because it was impossible to live up to the first two albums. Had any other band released Be Here Now, it would be heralded as an all time classic. My take on this is: Lazy lyrical input, influence of an absolute shitload of cocaine and booze and it was put together in such a rush that rather than pad the tracks out with content they just stuck a load of over-long instrumentals on the end. That said, I bloody love the album. A few of the tracks on it are much longer than they have any need to be, but f**k it. I enjoy them and that's all I'm really concerned with. I Hope, I Think, I Know, Don't Go Away and Girl In The Dirty Shirt are some of my favourite Oasis tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris Hilltoon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Can't argue with much of the above. Tunes like 'Ya know what I mean' and 'I hope I think I know', are what oasis were all about originally. Rock and Roll straight to the pus. As for Beady Eye, four letter word is a fucking beast. Easily my favourite tune of 2011. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think the real reason it was panned was a backlash to how popular it was. It sold well over half a million albums in it's first three days. People were buying that album that hadn't bought an Oasis album before. They did not know what to expect. It was a very self indulgent album, but they had full control of how the album was going to get produced. Alan McGhee had given up trying to control them. I believe Paul Weller at one point said it was overblown but Noel thought he was taking the piss. I enjoy the album mainly as the tracks from it never get played. In their last Scottish gig the place went mental when they played My Big Mouth. Much loved by the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I've went over the album 3x in a week and just can't bring myself to take it out the car. The instrumental start to my big mouth is just awesome. I actually find myself turning up every song as they start. By the time I get to the all around the world instrumental and the door closes, I'm practically deaf.

Number 1 was obvious seeing as it's my all time favourite song. I've realized trying to do this list that there's 14 Oasis songs I like more than any others. That's not to say I only like 14 songs, I like loads but 14 stand out above the rest. Very hard to chalk off four but here's my list: 1 - Listen Up 2 - Slide Away 3 - Acquiesce 4 - Cast No Shadow 5 - Half The World Away 6 - D'You Know What I Mean? 7 - Little by Little 8 - Talk Tonight 9 - Going Nowhere 10 - Morning Glory ETA: If it was Noel Gallagher written songs then 'It Makes Me Wanna Cry' would be right in there. Love that song. Edited May 31, 2013 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirdrieGuy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 1 - Rock 'N' Roll Star 2 - Live Forever 3 - Champagne Supernova 4 - Rockin' Chair 5 - The Shock of the Lightning 6 - Gas Panic! 7 - D'You Know What I Mean? 8 - Lyla 9 - Supersonic 10 - The Importance of Being Idle The top three tend to stay the same, but the others change quite a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 One of the best Oasis acoustic songs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris Hilltoon Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The new Beady Eye stuff that I just heard on Jools was awful. I would agree it didn't sound that good live, but the recordings I've heard, I've liked. So I'm not judging it until I've heard the full album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The new Beady Eye stuff that I just heard on Jools was awful. I don't understand why they played the same song twice... thats what they did, right? bloody painful to listen to, monotone, drudge. i can only compare hearing Beady Eye to the sound of road works going on outside your house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
