Oasis - Be Here Now (1997)

This is not Definitely Maybe but it's definitely pure Oasis. The other day I was checking reviews about Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants and I was hit by surprise when I found so much negativism towards Be Here Now. Right away I played the Oasis third album, and I did it at least three times that same day.


The CD might not be something extraordinary but there is no single song that I don't really like. Typical early Oasis britpop sound, not so much rocky like the next albums, but nice vocals and melodies. I think it deserves to be heard and if you don't believe me check it out on Spotify.

Oasis - Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (2000)

Some time ago I showed some interest in Oasis and a friend of mine (Pesh) recommended Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, as probably their best record. When I first heard it I was surprised but not really enthusiastic. Soon enough however, I started to appreciate the whole album.



This is Oasis fourth album, mainly a Gallagher brothers effort, and it marks a change in the band's sound.

Fuckin' in the Bushes doesn't sound like typical Oasis song to me, but I quite like it. There is plenty of rock in the album, and some psychedelic motifs. I like the melodies, the guitars, and the lyrics, and I like how Liam Gallagher sounds. This is a classic work from Oasis, and a must have.
