The shock of lighting

Recommended Posts

Posted

listening to it on myspace, altho i have been listening to songs on youtube all week.....it is very very superbly marvelous. Some great songs on there. Normally any album takes a few listens to settle, but this one seemed to do it in just one. Love 'I'm Outta Time'... 'Shock of the Lightening' is tasty too.......tunes!

it came on the radio the other day and i listened to it again, let it not be said i won't give something a fair go - and i sat there for three minutes waiting for something to happen, sadly nothing, no change or movement, a musical flatline...

i can understand how it would sound good live, in fact, to be honest, it actually sounds like they're just having a jam...

but it left me so cold, musically, especially after they played it straight after 'god save the queen' by the sex pistol, which really showed how dirty vocals and dynamic guitars should be done, and sounding as fresh as a daisy, not bad for 30 odd years old, infinately more memorable than anything oasis have done for several albums, i'm afraid.

I listened to 'Definitely Maybe' this morning for probably the first time in about 7 years. It was a bit weird actually, because although on one level it reminded me why I don't listen to Oasis anymore, at the same time it also reminded me why I found it exciting when it came out.

In summary: There's a time and a place for everything

How about you are fair and compare things realistically, like comparing it with one of oasis's first songs. Do you think the sex pistols would be churning out ground breaking music after 7/8 albums?

Sex Pistols one album >_<

Liver Forever or God save the queen ? Hmmmmmmm,

Oasis new album is good and thats not me just saying it because i think their better then everyone. Its not like their typical sing - along album.

Im a big fan of Oasis and before I listened to this I expected it to be utter shite but I have been listening to it quite a lot over about the past week and it is quality stuff.

I am not a huge Oasis fan but gave the first few tracks of the album a listen last night and I must admit I was impressed. Love the dirty production.

:worship:

My thoughts exactly, love that track. That really is excellent.

Yeah, the same with me. I think I commented in my first post how I thought it was the best track on there, it's a great opener.

ok, oasis are better than the verve... :rolleyes: why is comparing two bands who play(ed) simple guitar based music unfair, especially as the usual (implausible) comparison for oasis is the beatles; christ, why don't you just sticky a list of rules for criticism and posting fairness... the 10 commandments of indifference

oasis are boring now, god knows how bland their stuff will sound in thirty years...

oasis are boring now

So is your constant sniping and posting about a band you don't like. Bit pathetic really. Do you spend the rest of your day on forest forums telling them how rubbish they are now compared to how they use to be?

every post i've put in this thread has been considered and backed up, if you really can't understand that debate needs two sides, and that i am offering an alternate viewpoint, then why do you even bother coming on here...

i have made some decent points and expressed my opinion wiyh tongue in cheek at times, with great seriousness and respect at others, how is that pathetic...

pathetic is sulking like a baby cause someone dares to have a different opinon to you.

if i hadn't posted in this thread it would have died weeks ago, but it has stayed alive and no doubt many have enjoyed reading and posting in it, despite you making pointless whiny digs whenever i post something contradictiory....

End of the day, Oasis are legends and your bitter.

Like Oasis biggest band since The Beatles ? Yes.

They are a very good, successful band yes, but the best since the Beatles? That's up for debate.

Posted
Bag it up is the best track I reckon.

A cover version of the Geri Halliwell song? I new Oasis were desperate but thats ridiculous.

Sexy video, terrible song.

i wouldn't waste my breath in that debate :whistle:

- fair play to those who love oasis, but i suspect some of you younger guys (and older ones :P ) would benefit from a good session on last fm :thumbup: - honest, i'm not being patronising, if those of you who are so passionate about oasis, i'm sure there are lots of bands that will truly blow your mind... even now i'm discovering bands that make me realise how many great bands exist that don't have multi-million pound advertising budgets...

anyone heard the bonus disc....??? Has a Chemical Brothers remix of Falling Down and Jagz Kooner remixes of The Turning and The Shock of the Lightning, as well Oasis tunes Lord Dont Slow Me Down, and some ones I assume didnt quite make it onto the album 'Boys With the Blues' and 'I Believe in All' and some alternative versions..... anyways its decent, esp 'I Believe in All' - bit Coralesque I thought......

Reckon it'll be pretty good.

My favourite tracks from Dig out your soul are "Bag it up" and "I'm outta time"

Quality album though
