The new Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul is an album that I managed to listen to a few times way before it came out, I occasionally do this through P2P just to see whether I want to buy an album or not, although most bands offer tasters on myspace these days anyway.
Dig Out Your Soul was an album that had been deemed a "succesful comeback album" by MSN. It was far from that though in my eyes, the first 3 albums are excellent but after that Oasis work starts getting sketchy and repetitive and I lost interest after Standing on the Shoulder of Giants but still gave Heathen Chemistry ago anyway.
Don't Believe The Truth was an album that I skipped completely but recently gave a listen to, pppy and uninspiring is how I would describe it. Which is pretty similar to Dig Out Your Soul which seems to feature the same work as the last 3 albums, none of the tracks from these albums would have ever made it on to the first.
Obviously the musicianship is up to scratch, as are the vocals but the lyrical content is boring and a band which I assumed would have broken up after a few albums or gone on to produce at least a few legendary albums, have become very very mediocre and are living off their name. They have ironically, turned into the type of band that led them to break in to the music scene in the early 90s with so much energy and talent.
Giving this a miss would be a reasonable choice, unfortunately.
