OASIS "Dig out your soul" 2008 new album, so here it is...

Bag It Up

My initial reaction was "Please let it be a cover". Then I remembered the original. Then I remembered what Oasis sound like. No.

Also:

(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady

It's the song they were destined to make.

Is this gonna be their country-soul album?

10/10. I'm calling it.

3. Waiting For The Rapture

^^^heard the demo of this and it's easily Dilla's finest production hour. Just a shame he wasn't around to see it make its way to wax.

writers added:

"Bag It Up" - 5:12
"The Turning" (Andy Bell) - 4:32
"Waiting for the Rapture" - 4:57
"The Shock of the Lightning" - 4:24
"I'm Outta Time" (Liam Gallagher) - 5:20
"(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady" (Gem Archer) - 5:07
"Falling Down" - 4:18
"To Be Where There's Life" - 5:35
"Ain't Got Nothin" (L. Gallagher) - 3:32
"The Nature of Reality" - 4:48
"Gigi" - 1:05 (Japanese Bonus Track)

"A stunning return to form".

""Gigi" - 1:05 (Japanese Bonus Track)"

a 1 minute bonus track.
mark me down for the import version.

OMG. They are so good. Real music. They're just like The Beatles. So melodic. Can't wait.

The album was apparently gonna be called Bag It Up until Noel's wife said 'ooh, like that Geri Halliwell song'.

6. (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady

Feminist diatribe?

This is a joke, right?

If only the album would be as 1967 in a twee/studio gimmickery way that the album cover suggests.

Maybe it's because I'm American but I never really minded Oasis. They're not great but if one their songs comes on the radio I wont change it.

geir otm

the only thing decent Oasis ever released was "Wibbling Rivalry"

should have been called "dig out our soul"

eat out your soul

dig your own soul

i've heard the chemical brothers remix of "falling down". it's alright.

pig in a poke

Mine eyes! That cover is never going to be nice to look at.

To be insulted by these fascists is so degrading

Alternative track listing:

1. On Ensaque 2. remain ecstacy of waiting 4. of return 3. Impact of electric light 5. As for me falling irrational lady 7 whose Outta 6. of the thing time when is life 9. in the place where there is he of 8. or less is high. (You it is taken) is. There is no Nothin 10. which is not obtained. Character of soldier of actuality 11. above

12. He Stopped Loving Her Yesterday

Shite cover. I imagine they think it's like the Sly Stone or something but it's like something Robert Pollard did when he was 3.

It's like if Vince Hill had done a psychedelic album.

Track 11 is actually Soulja On (feat Soulja Boy)

Track 12: Whites Only

Track 13: This Gay-Z and Cockafella Records Wanted Beef

Track 14: Vote Cameron (Say No To 93% Income Tax Politically Correct Nanny State!)

i think the cover is OK, probably the best arwork they've ever had (the people shots for their 2nd album singles were OK too tho) even if it is cliched

i mean the band are not on it which is a big plus

They weren't on the cover of Standing On The Shoulder Sic Of Giants either, which was about the last time I found them remotely listenable.

No 'sic' required. Giants are quite large, therefore it should be possible to stand on one shoulder quite comfortably. Maybe even a whole band.

I think you'll find that Noel Gallagher himself admitted the mistake.

you can't stand on the shoulder of more than one giant tho

Oh I never bought Noel's 'mistake' tale.

My take is that they wanted to avoid copyright issues with stealing the slogan off pound coins.

Change an 's', they can't sue.

Bit like changing one chord off 'Imagine' e.g.

should've used 'Da' instead of 'The'

Who would have sued them, the Royal Mint?

Or the estate of Sir Isaac Newton?

If one giant is standing very near to another it might be possible to have one foot on the shoulder of each.

Possibly, yeah .xpost *2

They started putting copyright notices on bank notes comparitively recently.

For example, if forming a human pyramid (xp).

If one giant is standing very near to another it might be possible to have one foot on the shoulder of each.

no because if they are giants and you are not, the distance between their shoulders would surely still be too great for you to be able to put one foot on both

Next album to be called "Even Dwarf Started Small"

"I See Us As Eight Albums And That's It"

maybe there is a cult of giants who worship a ritualistic shoulder bone, and noel gallagher is rebelliously standing on it, risking life and limb in the name of rock and roll

It could only possibly be correct if the giants were conjoined at the shoulder, and even then I'd ask the second opinion of a physician

Cue Google Images search for Sam Fox perched atop shoulders of Geoff Capes and someone out of Gladiators.

lool

d/l now!

not really interested in this band anymore but want to hear nonetheless.

I know, it's like...I only want to hear it because I saw them live last month. That's the only reason. Haven't been interested in them since a billion years, etc...

I'm psyched for this.

this was so much better than i thought it would be...

A RETURN TO FORM?!

Their last album was the return to form... this album is the follow up to the return to form.

"The best album since Heathen Chemistry"?

I will forever back Don't Believe The Truth as their only consistently great record from beginning to end, besides Definitely Maybe. This, being the follow-up, has me quite psyched, as I sincerely mentioned earlier. And I love the new single.

Heard it in passing, nothing special...

Willhave tohearit properly.

billstevejim, I agree,.

Considering "Heathen Chemistry" was their worst album ever.....

And "return to form" only makes sense of "Definitely Maybe" is "Form". Which it isn't. "Morning Glory" is "Form". Which means "Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants" was "Return To Form"

How can you return to something you never had? Oasis=zzzZZzzzzzZZzzzZzzZzz.

Geir I was kidding

I'm hearing it now and taking a perverse pleasure in it...

Song playing now is "Bag It Up", it's good fun. Nothing more, or less.

The first half is great.

Hmm, will have to re-try the second half...

I am pessimistic that 20 years will not alter my initial views on this record once I come to write about it.

(self-correction: delete "not")

As I said somewhere else, even Worzel on Newsnight Review damned it.

Bits I've heard sound like Guided By Voices ca. 2002. A massive leap forward!

Equivalent to Tony Blackburn's "massive leap of one place."

Ever since that fake L'il Wayne one, I keep thinking tracklists on threads like this are parodies. This one could've been.

Now you can go see them next summer

"I'm Outta Love" is great. Not too keen on the rest.

Matter of fact, the only perfect Oasis album remains "(What's The Story) Morning Glory"

"I'm Outta Time", I mean.

the titles for this are embarassing.

david cameron probably shuns this album from the left.

Could someone insert a "Drop all allusion to The Beatles" in their pack of Oblique Strategy cards?

It's just that they seem to hold DefMayb as their cornerstone, and rightly, but that being the last album that had no overt Beatles references, they can't seem to recreate that feeling.

They'd be better to forget about "Definitely Maybe" altogether. The one album that made them into the super name they are was "Morning Glory" and nothing but "Morning Glory". So, as opposed to what you say, they should rather do the opposite: Drop the "bluesy" melodies, drop the tough guitars, and concentrate on filling an album with half-acoustic Beatlesque ballads. Nevermind what Liam says, Noel! Liam probably has an IQ or 50 or something, so why bother about what he thinks?

Why should anyone be bothered about what you think?

Oasis BabelFish tracklisting:

1. Requests it
2. Rotates
3. The waiting is in a stew
4. Lightning
5. vibration. I am Outta??
6. (obtains you) to tumble Madame Gao Ma
7.
8. Has lives
9. place. Has not obtained Nothin
10. Realistic book?
11. Soldier

Putting things into Babelfish stopped being funny about eight years ago.

Which is ironic on an Oasis thread.

to those who've heard it, can you tell the rest of us what are the lyrical themes on this album? some of the titles indicate posible intruiging concerns with current politics and eternal philosophical questions.

Also can anyone confirm if this is the rumoured footage of the band performing "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady"

That video is about 100 times better than anything Oasis have released in the last decade.

Funnily enough, the first bunch of tracks are mostly concerned with working towards the afterlife.

They're all about the MVE bargain basement then.

Noel Gallagher likes Asian chicks.

Okay. So I FINALLY figured out what song it was on this that I heard live and wanted to hear again that was so psychedelic. It's "To Be Where There's Life". I think that song probabaly beats the shit out of anything else on this, but to be honest I have a hard time listening to this entire album because I start to get mighty bored, indeed. "Ain't Got Nothin'" is pretty good, though, it's got punk attitude.

This album is growing on me.

It's only fault is that it doesn't really 'conclude', but ever since "morning Glory"/Champagne sup, it's been a consistent problem.

the 23 minute remix of falling down by FSOL in their OTT psyche AA guise is fantastic.
clearly the band sound a lot better if they allow in outsiders to stir up their well trodden production tricks.
.. perhaps they should have stuck with DiV

Looks like I'll have to get one, init?

Those Gallagher lads love their 1990s remixers/colloborators (FSOL, Prodigy, DIV, Chemical Brothers..)! This sounds interesting though, is it getting an official release?

yes

as i just found out in fopp, not available on cd.
sample available to listen to : here

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/oasis/

You can get download from here: The "Add" on this page works, others do not. You have to buy 'all three' it's not available separately.

not only that but why tell the world you love the full 23 minute version and then release the thing broken across 2 sides of vinyl as opposed to a complete whole, thereby ruining the epic nature and flow of the track.

so, how about they press this as the complete 23 minute version on limited 12"/33rpm and a lovely etching of something on the other side.

[of course i realise the mp3 option, but hey, call me a grump in the stump, i would love to have this on cd or a complete form on vinyl]

Noel Gallagher has criticised the 20,000 fans who asked for their money back after his band's homecoming gig was marred by technical problems.

The Oasis guitarist called them "cheeky", and wrote of his surprise that so many took him up on his offer of a refund after the Heaton Park show.

The band twice had to leave the stage in Manchester because of a power fault.

In his blog, Gallagher wrote: "So you were genuinely disappointed? There wasn't a 20,000 gap in the crowd."

'Let's have it'

Fans had paid £45 for tickets to see Oasis perform in Manchester earlier this month for the first time in four years.

The technical problems resulted in the show being disrupted for half an hour.

About 70,000 people saw Oasis abandon the opening track, only to return and be driven off the stage once more when the band tried a second song.

At the end of gig, Noel said: "Thank you very very much, this is a free gig - let's have it.

"Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund."

If every fan asked for their money back it would cost £3m to refund them all.

Organisers had been planning for the gig for six months and said the event was the biggest at Heaton Park since the Pope's visit in 1982.

So are they actually returning the money or not?

It would appear not.

Noel is the dam cheeky one. OK, it wasn't an entire disaster, the gig. But if you go up and say "Everyone get yr money back", then people are going to, and go "Blimey,that Noel's a dude", I know I did and I didn't go to the gig.

Turn around now and say, "Um, guys, that was a joke" and you look daft.

Turn around now and say "You have a cheek!" and you look stupid. People can go off people for less...

.. I mean, I did say "he's a dude", not go get the money back for a gig I didn't go to, I mean.

Oasis fans ungrateful feckless chancers shockah.
