OASIS - Dig Out Your Soul Album Review

5 stars out of 5

The last time Oasis tried experimenting, on 2000’s Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, it made for an album even worse than Be Here Now.

After Don’t Believe The Truth finally saw band is back to its best and them back to their best, they’ve gone one better and can finally dismiss any “Beatles rip-off” insults. The songs written by Noel Gallagher on the first half are the heaviest they’ve ever done, with hard rock guitars like their mates Kings Of Leon for massive hard rock guitars as Liam Gallagher sings in a new gruff voice like Johnny Cash on The Turning and Liam singing in a new gruff voice.

Of Liam’s songs, the sweet I’m Outta Time is Songbird Part 2, and the biggest surprise is guitarist Gem Archer’s To Be Where There’s Life – addictive funk like The Rolling Stones’ Sympathy For The Devil.

Any of the 11 tracks will fit brilliantly next to the classics at concerts. Seven albums in, and Oasis have never been more inventive. Still the rock & roll band all others in Britain have to be judged by.
