Are Oasis any good?

[map08]

I used to like Oasis a lot, up until Be Here Now, where I began to lose interest. Truthfully, as I haven't listened to it, what is Heathen Chemistry like?

The critical concensus is that Oasis have tried a bit of experimentation, and are back doing what they do best, and what made them famous in the first place. Most reviews agree that this is the best album since the first, and the live shows prove a new energy within the band. Oasis have found out that hard way that making a red-hot debut album always gives you something to live up to, and you skate a fine line between giving people what they like, without being accused of re-treading the same old grooves. Liam has had some compositional inout into this album, to the chagrin of Noel's publishers, it appears to confict with an agreement with them about his percentage of songs on each album, but that's not your problem. If you can't borrow a copy, why not wait a few weeks until your local library have a copy in, and borrow that? Personally, I'd take the plunge and buy it - that's part of the thrill of following an artist, you may not like everything they do, but it's art, no-one said it will be perfect every time.

Why not just download it? You haven't wasted any money then if you hate it. If you like it you can then buy it.

Oasis, are still absolute quality, been a fan of them before they were signed having seen them play in Bradford. despirte the 2 "classics" DM + WTSMG, be here now, SOTSOG and Heathen Chemistry, despite having a dodgy song on all 3 of em, have classics enough to make up for it.. (D'yer...All around the world, getting better man, gas panic, where did it a;; go wrong, who feels love.little by little, songbird) need i go on? i probably sound biased... but first time i heard be here now i said it was rubbish. after a listen when i wasnt mad lol, i realised itsd a damn good album. dont think they'll ever break america, but success world wide isnt always vital. they are best band to come out of england since the beatles, and people will listen to oasis in 50 years time... they will live forever (cheesy pun lol)

oh, Heathen Chemistry is top notch as well.
