New Oasis album & Single details

[wozwebs]

‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ new single out September 29th

‘Dig Out Your Soul’ new album out October 6th

Oasis are set to return later this year with a new single and their seventh studio album. The single,‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ is released on September 29th and the album, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ follows in October; it is the first new Oasis music since last year’s ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’, taken from the on the road film of the same name. ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ sees Dave Sardy return to the producer’s chair following his work on their 2005 album, ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’. Recorded at Abbey Road and mixed in Los Angeles, all four members once again contribute tracks, but the recording marks a new approach for the band as described by the band’s principle songwriter, Noel:

“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel.”

The lead single is still unmistakably Oasis, a Noel penned song with Liam’s immediately familiar voice to the fore underlining their distinctive brand of finger in the socket rock ’n’ roll.

‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ may well represent the most recognisable Oasis song on the album but, again, the new approach on ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ was present on this lead track as Noel explains:

“If ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. ‘The Shock of The Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.”

‘Dig Out Your Soul’ will be the first album released on the band’s own Big Brother label worldwide.

“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight.

Only took them 7 albums to try something new then...

[HitmanKelly]

Still I can't wait! Man does British music need Oasis! :notworthy

[megatron]

I'm not getting my hopes up tbh. I just wished Noel would leave and go solo. That would peak my interest.

[lentini]

I'm not getting my hopes up tbh.

me either, they've not done anything decent in 10 years

[the_daddy]

me either, they've not done anything decent in 10 yearsOh well there's always coldplay :oh-hum: *falls asleep*

[lentini]

Oh well there's always coldplay :oh-hum: *falls asleep*

:thinking:

[agnetha]

As I said with Don't Believe The Truth, the titles sound horribly hackneyed and trite, BUT as DBTT wasn't a bad album at all then hopefully the variety found on that will also be found on the new album.

[the_daddy]

New Oasis single "Falling down" to be aired here tonight.

Apparently the Chemical Brothers version is the album version (and its not the first single)

Apparently the Chemical Brothers version is the album version (and its not the first single)

Really?

Sounds like another Chemical Brothers song featuring Noel Gallagher which isn't a bad thing tbh.

[mcallisterian]

sounding pretty darn good!! can hear lots of similar stuff innit!!! Kasabian anyone!?

[wozwebs]

Like it too, not going to be on the new album by all accounts

[DrVenkman]

The song that got played on the Edge was just this song, and not the first single. I do like it, but the mix is horrible. Noel's voice is too far down in it.

It does make me curious as to what the original version sounds like though.

[robzinski]

Liking it a lot. Seems a bit DJ Shadowy.

New album tracklisting

There will be a lot more exciting news in the forthcoming weeks so keep checking back to Oasisinet..

* October 7 USA & Canada

Album cover looks cool too

[einstein]

Just heard 'Falling Down'. Obviously released as a promo to create some buzz.

I'm loving it...would be great if this version is on the album. I'm all for a slightly new direction for my favourite band.

[the_daddy]

That sleeve is pants!

[JonL]

The cover looks like a 1970's jazz album.
I like it.
Though Oasis haven't interested me for about 10 years now.

[Robby]

Hmm, so Stop the Clocks and I wanna live in a dream (In my record machine) aren't on the album?

B-Sides mebbe?

[DrX]

Stop the Clocks is a hidden bonus track.

I hope I Wanna Live in my Dream Record Machine Whatever makes a b-side.

Whatever happened to Can You See It Now -- one of the best throwaway songs from their last session!

[DrVenkman]

It's a great tune. Far as I know it was an official album track on the Japanese release of 'Dont Believe The Truth'. I imagine we'll see it as a B-Side some time.

Actually sounds quite promising!

[wozwebs]

Like the sound of it, bound to have catchy chorus too. Roll on any UK dates

[mcallisterian]

Sounding v gud imo ;-)

[HitmanKelly]

Liking the 'vibe' Noel has suggested the record has sounds raw and loud, what with Falling this could be a cracking album :thumbs:

Now bring on some London dates :D

[thejetsons]

They also encouraged fans to keep checking their official website for 'the soon-to-be-announced UK tour dates...'

The Mail On Sunday, however, have reported that the Manchester band are set to play the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre on Sunday November 2nd, followed by Glasgow's SECC on the 4th and 5th. Tickets will allegedly go on sale on Wednesday 20th August.

Without any official confirmation of the dates, fans are encouraged to wait until the tour is formally announced.

[wozwebs]

First radio play of TSOTL will be on Friday on Chris Moyles show then Noel will announce tour dates on Zane Lowes show on the 19th

[brettredmayne]

Bringg on a Newcastle date please

[Mr Majestik]

First radio play of TSOTL will be on Friday on Chris Moyles show then Noel will announce tour dates on Zane Lowes show on the 19th

BBC 6 is playing it at the same time so you don't have to listen to Moyles.

[the_edge30]

I simply cannot wait for the return of Oasis, its about time a band with some ******* attitude returned, Noel and Liam are always good value for entertainment and the new stuff is promising from what ive heard/read about it.

Bring it on!!!

[wozwebs]

Album track 'Falling Down' has leaked and sounds superb (this is not the C Bros remix, but the actual album track)

[Robby]

I thought the Chemical Bros. remix was superb but the actual song is outstanding. Simple piano melody and a cracking drum rhythm work well with Noel's vocals. Some great production going on in this song and my hopes for the album have risen through the roof.

[the_edge30]

Brilliant choon, just love Noels vocals :) Definately got an UNKLE sound about it, fantastic.

Things are looking good :)

[Drysolder]

Fantastic. :thumbs:

[mikegray]

BBC 6 is playing it at the same time so you don't have to listen to Moyles.

NME reporting dates to be announced tomorrow?

[robzinski]

And that the singles been brought forward to 8am, instead of the 8:45 that had previously been rumoured.

[wozwebs]

They played a secret rehersal for around 100 lucky fans who won a competition on the official site tonight (I didn't win :( )

Setlist sounds awesome

source: some lucky guy posting on the stop the clocks forum


Posting this from the bus home!

We arrived, they bussed us to the location, gave us wristbands, put our phones into named envelopes, and gave us three drinks tokens and ear plugs.

Then we arrive in the studio, a surprise, they played the entire dig out your soul album to warm up! SO heavy and, moody is the word??

Lots of oasis family there. Sara, Nicole, Paul G, Marcus, Phil etc. And gene g!

Oasis come on straight after, rock and roll star! Here's what I remember of the setlist:

Rock and roll star
Lyla
Shock of the lightning
Cigs and alcohol
Ain't got nothing
My big mouth
Slide away
Falling down
Importance of idle
Don't look back (slow and acoustic)
Supersonic
Champagne supernova
Liam's new one about Lennon
The masterplan
I am the walrus to finish

Probably more but I can't remember!

Set ended with liam walking through the crowd- prolly 100 people- and kissing Nicole by the bar.

Liam on great form, good voice!

On the bus driving home!

I had a quick chat to Marcus Russell, I asked him if they'd do another knebworth he said massive shows next year but not another knebworth as too big for everyone concerned!!

[spida1998]

Posted on messageboard today:

OASIS will open their mammoth world tour in Manchester’s rival city. The band are to play the first night of their huge tour in Liverpool’s new Echo Arena on October 7. A source revealed: “They are proud of their roots, but they dig Liverpool too and thought they would kick it off there.” Some fans will be surprised to hear NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER have picked Liverpool to launch their record-breaking stint on the road. But the band are fans of the city’s culture and music. It’s the home of THE BEATLES after all. Oasis are mates with THE CORAL and new drummer CHRIS SHARROCK used to play with THE LA’S. Man U misery GARY NEVILLE won’t be happy. But that’s good news. The tour will be a marathon one going on for nearly 18 months — as revealed in Bizarre last week. After kicking off in Liverpool the day after the release of new album Dig Out Your Soul, the tour goes to Sheffield, Birmingham, London and Bournemouth. It will then head to Cardiff, Belfast and Aberdeen before ending its first leg in Glasgow on November 5. ON yer marks...! Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9am on Wednesday, August 20 on oasisinet.com or the Oasis 24-hour ticketline 0844 412 4638. The Sun

[sexy244486]

Can't believe no Manchester dates, was hoping to get to see them this time around, having never seen them live as yet.

Guessing Manchester dates will be confirmed at a later time???

Hope so anyway!!!!

[mikegray]

Those Liverpool tickets will be like gold dust.

[CRB]

Heard the new single this monring - liked it, not amazing, but strong.
Really gutted that I am on holiday for the Wembley gig - thats two tours missed in a row now, dammit.

Regarding the boxed set of the album (pre-order on Oasis site at £50) - am I right in saying that, music wise, you would only be getting 3 extra new songs (this excludes remixes and the previously available Lord Dont Slow Me Down) ? Was thinking of buying it, listening to the new tracks then put it on Ebay as I cant see how I can get to hear them otherwise ?

[einstein]

I think TSOTL is awesome.....i really do.

A welcome return

Ordered mine.... these are the type of things that become very collectible. I still got my Familiar To Millions 3xvinyl set in its sealed condition ;)

[DrX]

Did anyone listen to Moyles? Interview was hysterical, at least Noel can put a spin on the tired line of "this album is.......the latest one we've done" ;)

Falling Down is amazing stuff, The Shock of the Lightning is pretty groovy but really want to hear some of the other stuff off the album (especially the track that features horses' hooves......what's that all about?)

[wozwebs]

Thought Noel battered Moyles, made him look totally out of his depth. When Noel is on Russell Brand's R2 show the banter they have is great but Moyles just didn't know how to handle Noel at all - brilliant stuff

[goonerforever]

Does anyone reckon there's going to be a pre sale or is it just going to be carnage come Wednesday morning?

If so, what method is everyone using to get tickets?

[mikegray]

Haven't seen a pre-sale anywhere. Hoping so, as it'll be a scrum and a half on Wednesday.

He's used that joke about 2 yrs ago. :lol:

He seems like quite good mates with Brand. Enjoyed his drunken banter though.

Can't say much about the single really. Could easily have been a track lifted from one of their last 2 albums.

I thought they were going to go with a new sound?:?:

[Mr Majestik]

Noel went on to the Shaun Kevney show on 6music straight after Moyles where he told an ace story about Maroon 5. Slagged off Keane and complely ripped George Lamb apart. So well done Noel.

He should really give up music and become a DJ.

I have never known Oasis to do a pre-sale....

Hope so anyway!!!!

In recent years there's been a few concerts at the ol' G-Mex (Central) around Christmas time...... I wonder if the boys will be doing some shows themselves there this year?!!! :thinking:

[DrX]

[QUOTE=megatron;8183274]He's used that joke about 2 yrs ago. :lol:

Falling Down sounds ace. TSOTL sounds quite Oasisy, but better than Lyla anyway.

[mikegray]

I suspect they'll be saving themselves for large outdoor shows in Manchester next year. I could be wrong, but it seems pretty likely. Apparently there's some football team they're quite fond of that has gigs... ;)

It's at about 7.30 in (although not about his album here):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EqINmGKrn8&feature=related

Just look for interviews when he was doing promo work for the last album and I'm sure it'll pop up as well.

[DrX]

As you say it's not album-related, not sure I've heard him say that before (about Oasis stuff) as it's usually the tired line of "it's best we've done since Morning Glory". Just don't want to hear more Brit-pop stuff for the umpteenth time. If DBTT had've been handled by Death in Vegas I think that would have made for a much better album. Stuff like Idler's Dream, Mucky Fingers and Importance of Being Idle are pretty decent.

Regarding the live stuff, god almighty bring in some different tunes! I note that they played My Big Mouth at the recent album preview to a number of fans. They should dig out more stuff they don't usually play (like Round Our Way or even Hindu Times).

Can't wait to hear some of the new stuff. Early fan reviews figure it's like a heavier SOTSOG. Mmmm....we shall see!

[mikegray]

Looks like the Oasis site is sending people to SeeTickets. So that'll crash at about 8:30 and stay down until Christmas. :|

Ticketmaster seems to be selling for everywhere other than Liverpool.

Those songs weren't actually written then. Noel has said that Album was scrapped because he felt the songs he wrote just didn't work at all, and they were only given very limited time to work with Div. I'm sure some songs were re-recorded with Dave Sardy but on the whole it was a different Album.

[mikegray]

Surprise! See's server already down.

[dunkrag]

Ticket Factory already grinding to a halt as well.

[goonerforever]

I bet even if you got through now to See, by the time you have to refresh to buy the tickets, you'll get locked out again!

If only someone on here was kind enough to post a back door url if they've got through to the ticket page, as that generally works...

[mikegray]

I do have something for Liverpool, I'll let you know if it works, though.

[mikegray]

Ticketmaster's up though so if it's one of the shows they're selling, I'd just use them.

[goonerforever]

Yeah I'm on them at the moment and I'm just praying each time I refresh that it doesn't go busy!

[mikegray]

Getting nothing on my liverpool link even though showing on sale.

[dunkrag]

Ticket Factory is useless. I've got 3 phones and 2 internet conection going - and nothing. :|

[goonerforever]

Somehow despite being on Ticketmaster as soon as they appeared and filling in the form for 1 standing ticket for Wembley, before 9am there were no tickets available to meet my request?!?!

I'd love to know how this actually happens :mad:

[lentini]

meh, can only find 1 ticket for Cardiff on ticketmaster :(

[iainw]

cant get on :(

[juniorpro]

Got through to payment once, then it timed out.

See really are ****.

[einstein]

I managed to get 3 seats at Wembley for the Thursday in a block near the front. It went live for me at 8:57! :shrug:

That was on TM btw

[goonerforever]

Got through to payment once, then it timed out.

See really are ****.

Don't suppose you'd have a ticket link you'd be willing to share? The URL of the place you actually place ticket orders...

Was the same directly from the arena in Liverpool which makes me suspicious.

[lentini]

argh!!! finally got me 2 tickets for Cardiff then it said 'session could not be completed'!!! :mad:

[juniorpro]

http://www.seetickets.com/oasisf/price.asp?showcode=345035&pricetype=2&pricetype2=3&pricetype3=4&pricetype4=5&filler1=oasis

Although this was for Birmingham

[juniorpro]

Bah, can't even get that far now. Choose the tickets I want then times out. Back to "Service Busy".

[goonerforever]

Thanks. Although See don't even seem to like letting this one through! I suppose just gonna have to resign myself to not going unless more dates are announced :(

[juniorpro]

Thanks. Although See don't even seem to like letting this one through! I suppose just gonna have to resign myself to not going unless more dates are announced :(

I can't get through on it now either.

Three people in the office plus two at home all trying and all having no luck whatsoever.

[mikegray]

Ebay has some, and nice that Ticketmaster are already pimping their secondary market service.

[spida1998]

I've currently got 4 standing for Wembley - wanting to trade for either night in Liverpool (or at a push, Sheffield/Birmingham). Will put a post on Classified Adverts forum later if anybody is interested.

Ticket sites are all stupidly busy - See is normally great for me, but completely screwed today. And ACCLiverpool site directly had nothing from 9am when I checked. This is a nightmare!

[goonerforever]

Scrap that, I have a ticket!

[mikegray]

Yay! Got to the end, typed in my details, and it failed!

[goonerforever]

Yay! Got to the end, typed in my details, and it failed!

Same here. Although I only got as far as putting in how many tickets I wanted, then it reverted to server busy!

Why would they choose See Tickets as the main ticket supplier?!?!?

[juniorpro]

At last!!!! 4 tickets for Birmingham.

Payment screen failed on me once but got there in the end.

[goonerforever]

Well it's not a standing ticket but...

"Thank you for your order MR SANDWELL.

You have ordered:
1 TOP PRICE RESERVED SEAT ticket(s)
for OASIS at Wembley Arena, London on THURSDAY, 16/10/2008.

Please note - this transaction will appear on your statement as EVENT TICKETS.

The tickets will be posted out to you at the address you have entered."

It's something at least! And nearer the time I might be able to trade it or sell it for a standing one, but in an arena like Wembley, it might be better to have a seating ticket as you might get an even worse view standing!

Good luck to everyone else. Just keep on trying...

[the Gimp]

Finally !!!!!! 4 for Sheffield, not standing, but still happy.

[juniorpro]

I managed to get 4 standing although I'm going to wait until I receive my confirmation email before I actually believe it. See Tickets always manage to screw things up for me.

[goonerforever]

Same here. I've gone through so many emotions this morning from excitement through to sadness and anger, then back to happiness and now nervous just until that email comes through!

[juniorpro]

Just got my email. Now I'm happy!

[iainw]

finally got in... selected 4 standing for glasgow. entered card details... then it hanged for ages... said could not be completed and to try again so clicked back and lowNbehold its sold out! bugger. seen them enough times i guess.

well done to those who got some!

[adencool]

just got 4 tickets for my brother at bham on the tuesday

so tickets are still out there

[mikegray]

Got nothing, so if anyone has anything spare for Liverpool at face value, let me know.

[wozwebs]

Got 4 standing for Brum (14th) but wanted 4 standing for Sheffield (11th)

anyone want to swap?

[CRB]

What an utter disgrace, that true fans cant even get legitimate tickets. And they wonder why there are so many websites that con people on fakes etc

[GregB]

Appaling but not surprising.

I am amazed that a band like Oasis couldn't even be bothered to sort out a pre-sale.

Kaiser Chiefs always seem to manage to do that as their pre-sales yesterday proved. OK touts will have got a bunch of the tickets as well but at least genuine fnas had a decent opportunity to get tickets.

[mikegray]

I'm not often defeated in my quest for tickets, so was surprised not to get any today, but when the only agency was See and the server couldn't stay up and I had to go into training, it's not a huge surprise. Furthest I got was typing my card details in, but evidently the order didn't go through. Mate of mine did get 1 top price for Liverpool.

Bet Ebay's swarming with them. Yup, 51 sets for Liverpool, some up to £200 a pair. FFS.

[GregB]

530 for all shows and I imagine that number will only get bigger.

[mikegray]

Just got 1 for Sheffield, standing for Sat. I'll go to that unless anyone has a Liverpool seat or standing to swap.

Oh FFS. I'm double booked, I already had something else that night! Ah well, a woman at work is now very happy as she doesn't have to buy off ebay. :brickwall

Don't want to say for definite yet (still waiting for order confirmation to come through), but may have 2 spare seats going for Liverpool...can't remember which night, all booked in a frenzy!

Yours at face if you want them....will post on here if/when they definitely become available.

That would be great. I actually only need one but would be great if you do have one spare! Can't really afford to be paying silly money on Ebay! My colleague is now trying to get a second standing for Sheffield to match with mine that I can't use, and they're a bloody fortune from Ticketmaster's "partner" tout site. :|

Either night is fine for me!

[goonerforever]

I'm slowly getting more and more worried that I haven't got my confirmation email yet :|

[the Gimp]

Me either:|

Try using the "forgot my tracking number" facility on SeeTickets and it'll probably send you the tracking number.

No tickets either, probably best waiting until nearer the time and watch as the ebay tickets drop in price.

That's good - using the tracker link from above, one of my orders didn't go through, so I don't have any spares!

Surprised there were still tickets left at this time though.

[mikegray]

There's also standing on that link!

If anyone wants 3 tickets for Liverpool on the Wednesday they can buy them face value off me, for some reason it says I have bought 6 tickets (3 on one order and 3 on another) only wanted 3. Let me know if anyones interested. They are seated 2nd price reserve seats

I wouldn't go promising them. Its supposed to be a 4 per household limit.

[gazzfoth]

I wouldn't go promising them. Its supposed to be a 4 per household limit.

i'm not promising them, i hope they cancel the other order but if not they can be sold to someone else. I've emailed them asking

[mikegray]

See WILL cancel and fully refund duplicate orders. Call them and explain, giving both order numbers. I've done it before. Then someone else can just pick them up off the site.

[gazzfoth]

yeah they just emailed me to tell me they had to cancel due to me having gone over the allowed amount. Problem sorted

[mikegray]

1,700 auctions on Ebay now. Is it REALLY not time for legislation?

[DrX]

Didn't even get a chance :(

Never mind. I have a feeling they'll be a huge stadium tour next year.

On the plus side, TSOTL is getting some good airplay in the U.S (shock!), it's got a mini positive write-up preview (the album) on Billboard's website, and TSOTL and Falling Down are appearing on a few itunes charts. So all good it seems.

I really hope that's true, but even if it was, we'd all be stuck exactly where we are today. The distribution for large demand gigs seems to be getting more and more out of control as time goes on, with fans being made to pay an insane amount of money over face value. Why can't they introduce a syustem where you name each ticket when you buy. Then can only get access on the door with photo ID ? it woudl cut out a lot of the c**p I've seen today for sure. I'm now going to be missing Oasis's past two tours because of this. I just can't afford what people are asking on certain websites. I was happy with £38 ! >:(

With patience and persistence, you'll get a ticket for face value, just hold your nerve and don't start bidding on auctions. There's going to be people who exceeded their allocation, and those tickets will get put on sale over the coming days. Then there will be the usual promoter holds etc... if you check reguarly and keep checking the various relevant message boards, I'd be surprised if you don't land a ticket. Quite often they go on sale as late as the day of the show or before as an anti-touting measure.

Or get rid of Net sales all together and go back to the old venue only sales.

Ah the good old days back in '97 camping out over night outside the NIA to get tickets the next morning, because you could never ever get through on the phones.

It was a good crack though. We got there about 5pm, and the queue was already about one third of a way up the second side of the arena. Was all the way around and down the steps a bit by the time they went on sale.

Ahhh, sigh, yeah I remember those good ole days, before this "internet" thing. It was all about how long a queue was in those days !

[mcallisterian]

I got 4 standing tickets for Liverpool.... Decided to go with standing after my last seating experience at an Oasis gig was awful as everyone around decided to get wasted and there was lots of pushing and shovving and spilt drinks flying everywhere....totally ruined the gig imho!

I doubt that very much... but at least we can relocate as opposed to be being stuck by some yobs! :razz:

[spida1998]

If anybody's still after tickets....01159129000 for Seetickets, they have a few hundred return tickets. I just re-bought the ones they cancelled for me (typed in card details incorrectly in a hurry for Birmingham), and they said that there were more tickets left for most venues.

You're screwed at an Oasis gig,Sometimes it's 50/50 but even that's a large percentage of *****. Nearly had so many dust ups at Oasis gigs...

[Mr Majestik]

Oasis do have the largest amount of idiots i've ever seen at a gig.

[madstu]

been to see Oasis 7 times I think, and the last two have by far been the worst for idiots. Manchester Cricket ground in about 2002 and Cardiff in 2005, but both were long gigs with 4/5 support bands so the idiots were drinking for a long time. But with just one support band, the crowds have been better.

[jambo]

I've gotta say, I love the single. It might even be the best thing I think they've done.

[DM]

You are Noel Gallagher and I claim my £5.

[DrVenkman]

I liked Noel's assesment of the single (Half jokingly) saying that "Its the same as every first single we've released from a new album but with different words". If it's the case they should've just released it as a single/download only.

[stu_69]

Oasis do have the largest amount of idiots i've ever seen at a gig.

I seen Oasis live about 8 times during the late nineties and it was only the last couple of gigs I went to which seemed to attract the yob element. The last Oasis gig I went to was in Lansdown Road and it was hell. I got spat on twice and I almost punched some gobby, chav girl and she kept standing on me. It was chav central in there.

I have no interest in seeing them now as they seem to be on the chavscum radar for the one gig to go to.

[MrC]

Certainly saw more 'flying' pints of xxxx at that gig than any other I've been to........

Playing Eden on 27th Sept - its a fantastic venue to see a band

[Johnny Vodka]

And that's just the band. ;)

[bigman]

I've gotta say, I love the single. It might even be the best thing I think they've done.

It's not bad - they've certainly had worse 'comeback' singles.

Terrible video though - looks like an unfinished art school project circa 1983.

[jambo]

Agreed. If the best designer in London had anything to do with that, he should retire. It's boring as hell.

[mikegray]

www.seetickets.com are showing some seats for the tour on general sale...

[Mobile Phone Boy]

I'm not getting my hopes up tbh. I just wished Noel would leave and go solo. That would peak my interest.

Yeah I totally agree. I heard the new single the other week and its the same old Oasis music. Not that Oasis music isnt great of course, but they've been going on for a while now, and they need to do something different. A solo album by Noel would be fantastic.

[Johnny Vodka]

:thinking: Oasis are at their worst when Noel is allowed to sing.

[the_daddy]

:thinking: Oasis are at their worst when Noel is allowed to sing.:lol: What a load of poo!

[Johnny Vodka]

:lol: What a load of poo!

Just my opinion, dude. I always thought Don't Look Back In Anger was one of their worst singles, even back when you could have considered me a fan. There's just something horribly obvious and schmaltzy about it. It's hard to deny that Liam has a decent rock voice - he just needs some decent material to apply it to.

[GlennSh]

I would prefer if Noel sung more songs...Or an acoustic album

[ascender]

I agree that Liam is a superb frontman and has a unique voice, but I have to say its quite nice to hear Noel singing as an alternative to the normal versions.

[DrVenkman]

Well bare in mind Noel only sung Don't Look Back in Anger to spite Liam because Liam insisted on singing Wonderwall.

But Noel has song a few of their best songs. Mucky Fingers was a highlight of the last album, and 'Sad Song' is a wonderful under heard song which I still can't believe didn't appear on the Greatest Hits album.

[robbie99]

and Masterplan is one of their best.

[the_daddy]

Importance of being idle?

Idlers dream?

Sad Song?

Half the world away ?

Noel's great. And don't you deny it!

[the_edge30]

Cigarettes in hell
Flashbaxx
Where did it all go wrong

Theres a certain Oasis type of song that only Noel can sing imo, he portrays alot more feeling than Liam does.

[Lorne.t]

Oasis covering Culture Club's "I'll tumble for you" or is it Orange Juice's "Falling and laughing etc etc!...

I dunno, watching that brought out the inner Manc in me, I would've decked the moron.

Maybe he was from Bloc Party? Or one of those craaaaazzzzaaaay students. It is September after all. :oh-hum:

[stu_69]

I like how Liam waited till the heavies had the guy. If that was my brother I would have been right in there with fist flying, boots kicking.

[the_daddy]

Would have been even better if it was Liam on the receiving end.

[Lorne.t]

if you watch at the back you can even see Weller getting in on the act!

Here's the proper version of 'Falling Down'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPad-nZqFmw

[DrX]

Thoughts on the new album: (heard The Shock of the Lightning, Falling Down, live versions of To Be Where There's Life, Ain't Got Nothing, 30-40 second clips of all other new songs).

Good solid stuff......what SOTSOG should have been I think. Weakest tracks (for me) are Ain't Got Nothin and The Shock of the Lightning (good single but it's nothing special). Clips of new songs sound promising. Favourites are Bag It Up, The Turning, I'm Outta Time, Soldier On and - of course - To Be Where There's Life. Grooooovy stuff.

Nice to see something different, would've preferred to have seen this earlier tho (and not put up with so-so efforts).

Thoughts on new tracks (after a few listens):

Bag it Up - sounds a bit like Sgt Peppers, has some bizarre lyrics ("somone tell me I'm dreaming, the freaks are rising up through the floor".....there's also a "heebie-jeebies" line--seriously!), pretty damn good. Dark and heavy, quite raw too. Like it a lot.

The Turning - down and dirty ("shake your reptile"?!), sounds like the music that would go along with a car/jeans telly ad, good groove.

Waiting for the Rapture - Noel falsetto, pounding, pretty un-Oasisy, like a marching band anthem.

I'm Outta Time - very very catchy. Much better than the typical "ballad for big boys". Has some great vocals (it's Lenon....no it's not, it's Liam--little rascal!) Very commercial sounding, sounds a lot better after a few listens. The second single.

Get Off your High Horse Lady - dreamy, not too keen to begin with but some thoughtful piano saves it

To Be Where There's Life - really really like this one, dreamy, groooooovy, very nice (have heard the live version tho), really nice bass line, one of the best songs on the album

Ain't Got Nothing - same as the demo/live version, should've been a B-side, does sound more instant than the others tho, quite catchy.

The Nature of Reality - Not sure what to make of it to be honest. Need to hear the full version I think.

Solider On - really grown on me after a few listens, has a vibe of Travis' Why Does It Always Rain On Me (sort of) to it....simple Liam that's all you can ask for!

I Believe in All - sounds a bit like the Monkees-lite -- why the hell didn't this make the album?!

Would be nice if Stop the Clocks and I Wanna Live in a Dream in My Record Machine make b-sides.

Falling Down should be their Xmas single. Roll on October!

[Drysolder]

Got tickets for the Eden Project gig, so can't wait (Noel's health notwithstanding), last time I saw Oasis was 1994-95 during the Definitely Maybe tour!!

[the_daddy]

Nothing struck me tbh, pretty mediocre stuff.

[DrX]

Album gets 4 out of 5 from the Observer (not the greatest review though)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/sep/14/oasis.popandrock

[ascender]

I love reviews like that. There's obviously only a certain number of words available and the reviewer wastes many of them trying to be clever and talking about anything (most of it stating the bleedin' obvious) except the actual music.

[Agent_Cooper]

I love reviews like that. There's obviously only a certain number of words available and the reviewer wastes many of them trying to be clever and talking about anything (most of it stating the bleedin' obvious) except the actual music.

What do you expect? It's The Guardian ;)

[Mr Majestik]

What do you expect? It's The Guardian ;)

It's the Observer music monthly. The reviews in that arn't worth the paper their written on. (They give the Kings of Leon's ropey new album 5 stars.)

The main papers reviews are pretty spot on.

[megatron]

After listening to that 8min preview, I think the album is going to be like the last with just 3 or 4 decent songs. Gem/Andys songs again doing nothing for me.

Funnily enough the song most people seem to be excited is one penned by Liam (I'm Outta Time), which I quite like myself. Bit better than Little James. ;)

[wozwebs]

Well then what do you think?

Bag it up sounds superb!!

[Mr Majestik]

the full albums leaked it's guts onto the internet.

Meh...6/10 stuff.

[wozwebs]

On first listen i'm impressed. Liam's voice certainly sounds better than the past 3 albums. Few good Rock n Roll tunes in there. 8.5/10 for me on 1st listen

[DrX]

Very good stuff. In fact, it's the only album since Morning Glory I could probably listen to all the way through (even the filler of Get off Your High Horse, The Nature of Reality and Solider On is passable).

Favourite track has to be The Turning--great tune.
Love the chorus to Bag it Up.
I'm Outta Time - sounds like the music that would go on a banking/savings advert, but I do like it a lot.
Falling Down - class Noel tune, one of the best songs of the last decade for Oasis.
To Be Where There's Life - very funky, very groovy
Wating for the Rapture - marching band funk, pretty good stuff
Ain't Got Nothing - B-side but still catchy with Liam's nursery rhyme meanderings

Would love it if they came up with some good B-sides too (I Believe in All sounds pretty good from the clip)

[DrX]

And it's probably just me but there's *a part* of I'm Outta Time and Falling Down that wouldn't look out of place on a Bond soundtrack......

:nuts:

Pass the pipe over!

[Drysolder]

Some great songs on there, some absolute porkers!

[ascender]

I'll have a listen then. I really hope its not another one of those "long overdue returns to form" which turns out to be mince.

[DrX]

I reckon Don't Believe the Truth was a decent return-to-form, the only problem is (bar a few songs) it was pretty much the same old stuff.

I'd say the new record does have its conventional sounds but they're in the minority and the "inspiration/rip off" base is more broadly spread. I can't really see any sing-a-longs (aside from, possibly, I'm Outta Time).

The Turning really is something though. Love that.

Falling Down is the next single out at Christmas.

[megatron]

First half of the album seems decent, but the 2nd half is really poor. I think they could have had a decent album if they mixed the good songs from DBTT and this one though.

[DrX]

Positive review from across the pond:

http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/6840

[ascender]

I reckon Don't Believe the Truth was a decent return-to-form, the only problem is (bar a few songs) it was pretty much the same old stuff.

Actually, you're right, I really enjoyed that album. I think it was the previous 3 or 4 which were pretty poor.

[einstein]

Just had a listen...liking it a lot.

First 3 tracks are outstanding.
'I'm Outta Time' is just so special. One for the ages, classic Oasis.

[Andy]

I'm liking it... a lot!!

The Turning is superb, as is Falling Down.

[Robby]

Long time Oasis fan but really the only 5 star songs for me are Falling Down and I'm Outta Time. It's frustrating that Record Machine or even Stop The Clocks, which are great tracks, have been omitted.

[ascender]

There's some good stuff on this but nothing amazing apart from a couple of tracks really. Don't get me wrong, I think its a decent record, but its almost just DBTT part two. I certainly don't get how they thought this was a new direction, exploring new sounds etc. But then maybe that's how they want to continue, just carry on what they do best, is there anything wrong with that? I reckon that's all the majority of their fans want them to do I guess.

[Mr Majestik]

I think sounding a bit like 'Tomorrow never knows' is an exciting new direction to Noel.

[ChrisBravoTown]

I've only heard the single, but the a lyrics (love is a time machine....silver screen) and the way Liam sings is like some comedic parody.

[Drysolder]

Eden Project Gig and the next two have been postponed due to Noel's injury.

Can't say I'm surprised, but it's a bit late in the day for the Eden announcement, not happy at all...

http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/39928

I guess its catch-22. He didnt want to cancel without at least waiting a few days to see how quickly he recovers ??

[Drysolder]

Well, I won't be able to go to the rescheduled gig assuming it's in the next couple of weeks, due to circumstances beyond my control, and apparently from the first week of October the concert site at Eden becomes a skating rink, so time's against them.

Gutted, was really looking forward to seeing em live.

Skating starts 3rd November - they start putting the rink down 10 days before normally - so if they dont reschedule before the 25th then it wont happen until April / May - If you havent been to Eden before to see a band its worth the wait though - top venue IMO

[ascender]

The more I listen to this, the more its just another Oasis album. There's a couple of very good songs on it, quite a few good ones and the rest is fairly average. All of them are very Oasisy songs in terms of lyrics and the song structure, so there's a lot of catchy songs you'll get stuck in your head!

[DM]

Can the charge of this being oasisy really be that surprising, it's Oasis? I've only given it a quick spurt but it sounds pretty good so far. I'm not sure what people are expecting really.

[Drysolder]

I've already cancelled - I won't be able to go within the the next 6 weeks due to other commitments, and it'll either be within that date or as you say next year.

As said, I hope the Canadian **** is made to realise how selfish he's been.

[ascender]

Can the charge of this being oasisy really be that surprising, it's Oasis? I've only given it a quick spurt but it sounds pretty good so far. I'm not sure what people are expecting really.

I know, but from the way they were talking up the album recently it was going to be a new direction and sound like nothing else they'd done before. But then I know they've said that before and it never transpired, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

[the_edge30]

Listened to this a few times today, love it, definately a return to form imo, only track I cant get on with is the 2nd to last, but its for me the best collection of songs they have put together since Be Here Now and it sounds ten times better than that album did.

Very very impressed, looking forward to seeing how it translates to live.

[DrX]

Would that be The Nature of Reality?

In the words of Alan Partridge, "Sorry, that was just a noise."

Apart from that, really like the rest of the album (the filler of Solider On, Ain't Got Nothing and High Horse isn't that bad).

[wozwebs]

Oasis headline the BBC Electric Proms 2008

The BBC Electric Proms today announced Britain's greatest rock n roll band Oasis as the final headliner to complete this year's festival bill. Oasis are set to treat music fans to a very special performance at the festival and will be accompanied by the Crouch End Festival Chorus. Expect classic Oasis anthems and tracks from their highly anticipated latest album Dig Your Own Soul.

Am up for this one, support from Glasvegas

Yep, it is a bit pants, but it may grow on me. "The Turning" is easily the best song they have written in absolutely ages and is my favourite on the album, it has such a swagger about it, definately will sound ace live!

[GlennSh]

Anyone manage to get tickets ? I *think* I did although waiting for confirmation (gulp)

[mardyChris]

I got the chance to fill the form in and submit. Hopefully that's enough? The seetickets site didnt seem to be slow, so fingers crossed...

[GlennSh]

same here... I filled everything in and seemed to be *too* easy. Once it completed I went back to the main page which said sold out. So here's hoping :thumbs:
No email though

[stupidgibbon]

Pointless ! See tickets useless.

[mardyChris]

Cashback! We're in...

[GlennSh]

Cashback! We're in...

Same here!! Must say it was the easiest ticket purchase I've made...Luck of the draw I guess :clap:

[spida1998]

Tickets back on sale for Roundhouse. ID printed on tickets apparently, presumably to avoid touts.

[m_brackley]

Spida1998 - You know where tickets are still available from? Can't see them on seetickets?

[spida1998]

They were back on for about 10 mins, gone again now! Got to be quick!

[m_brackley]

Doh! - Got as far as putting in my card details - must have been too slow - when I came to process it they had sold out!

[donk]

Same here. Got as far as putting me card in and said sold out that was at 8.16

[mardyChris]

Got to collect them from the roundhouse, surely we can claim the postage back?

[CRB]

How I'd love to see them at the Roundhouse, but sadly I just cant afford what is being asked on Ebay :(

[wozwebs]

Got to collect them from the roundhouse, surely we can claim the postage back?

Good point, £4.80 postage when there is no postage. Worth a pint in the venue surely?

[GlennSh]

Got to collect them from the roundhouse, surely we can claim the postage back?

Where did it say that ? My email says they will be sent in the next couple of weeks and if you havent received them by 2 days before to get in touch ?

EDIT received email @ 2:45

[robzinski]

The Jagz Kooner remix of TSOTL is pretty sweet.

[Duane Dibbley]

The Jagz Kooner remix of TSOTL is pretty sweet.

Indeed. Actually, I'd say all the remixes (except the Chemical Brothers' mix) on the bonus disc are superior to the originals. 'To Be Where There's Life' in particular sounds excellent and much closer to how the band are playing it live.

I have mixed feelings of this album. There is plenty good stuff to be found for sure ('Falling Down' being the stand-out), but some lazy lyrics and bland production marr proceedings a bit too much. A shame things never worked out between the band and Death In Vegas, but I guess Noel loves Dave Sardy's sound so that's what we're stuck with.

[wozwebs]

Album only £6.93 in Tesco today, good price.

[CRB]

Does anyone know how I can get the three extra tracks on the bonus CD ? I simply cant afford to buy the £80 box set, but am more than happy to pay for the songs I want. Are they on itunes ?

[GlennSh]

Album only £6.93 in Tesco today, good price.

Storming gig at the NIA tonight. Nearly as good as their performances there back in 1997 and 2001.

[Andy]

Album's charted at number 5 in the U.S chart. Cool.

[Lumiere77]

i like Oasis. always have. even in their headier days (Be Here Now). to me, this is the third of three similar consecutive albums. lead-off singles The Hindu Times, Lyla, and Shock Of The Lightning are prime examples. they're interchangeable with each other - still great, though.

Theres a big gap in those gigs exactly when Glastonbury is.

[wozwebs]

Should be top gigs those. Virtual Festivals saying they will also do the Isle of Wight festival

Sticks out like a sore thumb, doesn't it.

[Mr Majestik]

They won't play Glastonbury after the arse they made of it last time. (They might play that big European festival that weekend though.)

Proberly just making sure that there's another gig goers about to fill the stadiums.

That's what I thought, but the tour stops so far have been predictable and disappointing.

[HBK757]

I thought Liam's voice had completely gone a year or two back, now he seems to be right back on form.

cant remember when their last Glasto gig was. What happened ?

[brettredmayne]

OH MY GOD, Stadium of light

[spida1998]

Kasabian to support?! Amazing. I'm definitely there.

[robbie99]

2004, they were fairy poor and Liam wore a big white coat in the mud! Thats about all I can remember.
