Advantages: Some solid tracks, no bad songs here Disadvantages: Its not 1994 any more
Dig Out Your Soul is the seventh studio release from Mancunian Britrock legends Oasis. It was released in October 2008 going straight into the UK Chart Number 1 slot and its first single, 'Shock Of The Lightning' peaked at Number 3 in the UK Chart.
For the few people reading this who are yet to hear of Oasis, they are a five piece indie rock group from Manchester who are quoted as inspiration for many similar bands, past and present. Oasis themselves ... ...B-side the first single from Dig Out Your Soul and really starts much less abruptly than the A-side which it accompanies. The drums are quite heavy although the guitars are slightly less energetic. The lyrics are quite deep and Noel once again is singing. This song is caught halfway between a chilled tune and a pretty rocky anthem. Fortunately, this IS a good thing, the song is one of the best so far and it is probably the most intelligent offering ...

...I WAS WRONG!!!!!
Dig Out Your Soul is the worst album they have done in my opinion.................Don't get me wrong their is some good songs on this album but they are all ruined by the fact they have overproduced the vocals to the point of stupidity.
The best thing about Oasis has always been Liam's raw vocals like we heard in 'Wonderwall, champagne supanova, aquiesque, rock n roll star etc..etc.
On this album their is none of that, the vocals ... ...days numbered.......yes they are!!
DIG OUT YOR SOUL- TRACK LISTING: 1. Bag It Up 2. Turning 3. Waiting For The Rapture 4. Shock Of The Lightning 5. I'm Outta Time 6. Get Off Your High Horse Lady 7. Falling Down 8.

Advantages: Not many Disadvantages: Poor and uninspiring
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 ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Rocking Psychedelia Disadvantages: Few Fillers
On the whole, a good album that is let down by a few fillers. The album is really in two parts. Part 1 - The old style Oasis with a hint of blues with rock tunes that it'll make you walk down the street thinking you're the king of the world. And Part 2 - Perhaps on the first listen, slightly indifferent, but it does grows on you as Oasis explore the experimental more. Highlights of the first half - The first 2 tracks, pure Oasis, through and through. ... ...and makes you wonder how it only got to No.12 in the Charts. Highlights of the 2nd part - Gem's and Noel's psychedelic "To Be Where There's Life" and "Falling Down". A true "album" in the sense with no "pop" songs on it. If you've liked Oasis over the years, you'll love this. If not, you won't. Simple as! ...

Advantages: A few worthwhile tunes can be found in the 11 track album. Disadvantages: The lads are trying to be contemporary but it doesn't wash.
Definitely Maybe defined a generation, we have all, including Oasis themselves been hoping the band could repeat this. However unlikely that may be. Morning Glory rode the wave of its predecessor and I am sure if released tomorrow would not be held in the same regard. Ironically when we have all given up hope they release their best collection of songs since that debut. It will never be Definitely Maybe, but would we expect or want it to be?
The ... ...monster anthmes like many would expect off noel gallagher and co. A pleasant surprise arises in the shape of Liam's 'I'm Outta Time' which depicts a soft and catchy ballad. 'Falling Down' is also worth a listen even though it is certainly not a typical oasis tune. In the last 14 years we have all moved on, finally, so have Oasis. With the weight of expectation cleared from their shoulders I eagerly await the next album. ...

Advantages: Track 2 The Turning top tune Disadvantages: Aint got Nothing, not Liams best piece of song writing.
A return to form for the manchester lads that went straight to the top of the charts, their first since 2005's "Dont believe the truth". A good mix of songs from the start with heavy tunes in the form of bag it up, the turning and the shock of the lightning to the more chilled out, Liam penned, Im outta time and album closer soldier on. 11 tracks make up the album a variety of Liam and Noel sung songs. 8 of the 11 tracks sung by Liam, with the other ...
