I worry that Oasis' best stuff is long behind them. Well, maybe "worry" is a strong word because I don't really care anymore. They used to rock my world, however. We'll all just have to wait and see what happens regarding their next three releases, I guess. Lastly - well said and amen to skahammer.

@sharky: New to the internet? Because there are a million other places on it where you can flame folks anonymously and to your heart's content -- but my sense is that Idolator is aiming a little higher.

I don't even disagree with your point. But really, you admire other people who express themselves in this way? Surely you've got more on the ball than that.

Who the fuck edits this piece of shit blog? The last Oasis record was NOTHING like the previous two. It was very, very good. It had fantastic songs and was very well recorded. Arguably the best Oasis record they've ever done.

Nobody can argue "Standing on the Shoulders" was anything but a steaming pile of doo and that "Heathan Chemistry" was extremely pedestrian at best, but maybe if you're going to write about rock music you should... I don't know... KNOW something about it.

"Has" turned me around. My typing ability is being hit hard by the recession.

After years of thinking of Oasis as a scourge of scousers, hearing Devendra Banhart's Lennon/"Imagine"-esque take on "Don't Look Back in Anger" as turned me around, because a) it's a decent song and, b) whether it has to do with Banhart or not, the lyrics make *no* sense whatsoever, in a truly WTF kind of way.

Almost as good/bad as Jill Sobule covering "Hot in Herre."

Who knew a band so full of hate and anger had that many songs about Love?!?!?

I actually like "Don't Believe The Truth" quite a bit.

Maybe they can team-up with the Sex Pistols...

Sounds like a lazy, money-hungry manager to me.

No band of Oasis' stature needs a label these days. ESPECIALLY not for three album cycles.

Yet more work for the world's greatest Blur tribute band. Amazing.

Hurricane #1 did Oasis better than Oasis has been doing Oasis.

Shame on you Andy Bell.

I dunno, I think the addition of new songwriters has led to some of their best work to date, both from Noel and the others. Granted Andy Bell's songs pretty much sound like bad Oasis songs from the 90s, but it seems to have pushed Noel out of his comfort zone, and Liam's songs have been among the best on both DBTT and Heathen Chemistry. Not saying much on the latter front, granted, but yeah.

On the whole, the last three Oasis albums are an object lesson in why some bands shouldn't be democracies. That said, there is the assorted gem like "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," which is one of their best ever:
