Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Though Oasis are forever fated to live in the shadow of their initial success, they remain capable of producing exciting and touching music, and Dig out Your Soul continues the upswing in their fortunes sparked by 2005's Don't Believe the Truth. Unashamedly an album of two halves, the first part is heavily loaded with Noel Gallagher's tunes, including the pounding single "The Shock of the Lightning", a taut and pacy rocker nearer to the light touch of the Smiths' "The Queen Is Dead" than their usual Pistols-inspired power plod. The rocking "Bag It Up" shares nothing but a title with Geri Halliwell's already forgotten 2000 hit, while "Waiting for the Rapture" takes Lennon's harrowing "Cold Turkey" as a template, with some success. Liam's crude, sparky "Ain't Got Nothin'" holds up his side and his sprawling ballad (the only such effort here) "I'm Outta Time" adds another anthem to their repertoire. Even Gem Archer's "To Be Where There's Life", a bracing slice of undercooked psychedelia, is naggingly catchy. Only Noel's "(Get off Your) High Horse Lady", a pointless rewrite of Tommy Tucker's mod-era favourite "Hi Heel Sneakers" and Andy Bell's ungainly "The Nature of Reality" are downright inessential. Those missteps aside, it's hard to imagine anyone feeling shortchanged by Dig out Your Soul. --Steve Jelbert

CD Description
For their seventh studio album, Brit-pop stalwarts and general rock 'n' roll survivors Oasis have stuck mostly to theirguns, releasing a collection of bracing, swaggering rock songs with the odd moment of bluster throw into the mix. Though the hallmarks of the Oasis sound remain (Beatles-influenced pop with a classic rock edge), 'Dig Out Your Soul' is notable for the more riff-based songwriting style and the mix ofauthors. Vocalist Liam Gallagher contributes three songs, while his brother and guitarist Noel contributes the majority. Features the single 'The Shock Of The Lightning'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Music To get Hooked By, 26 Nov 2008
First things first. I would have awarded 5 stars had it not been for the 'High Horse' track which starts like 'Give Peace A Chance' and then proceeds to totally rip off the rock n roll classic 'Hi Heel Sneakers' - wait for the law suit!! Aside from this reservation, this is a really listenable straight forward rock album from start to finish that has been on continuous play in my car for some weeks. Yes there is pure Oasis, pure Beatles and something in between. The opening 4 tracks are as close to pure Oasis as you will get. From then on, the Beatles influence kicks in to a greater degree. Nothing wrong with that. Highlight of the album is the line 'I keep my eeby-geebies in a little bag'. I have a few Oasis albums in my collection and, at the risk of sounding heretical to the Oasis purists, I do think this one and their previous release, 'Don't Believe The Truth', do take a bit of beating.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not a classic, 5 Oct 2008
By M. Simmonds (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I see as usual with Oasis reviews, it's either a 5 star or a 1 star rating! I beg to differ. This is a pretty good album, with a bit more experimentation from the band and all four members contributing to the songwriting like the previous two. However, I don't think it's as good all the way through as the 2005 Q album winner, Don't Believe the Truth, which in my opinion has no weak songs and I'd rate as a 4 star. Their first two albums are obviously 5 star. This album does have some really good tracks, particularly Bag it Up, The Turning, The Shock of the Lightning, I'm Outta Time and Falling Down. However, other tracks like To be Where There's Life and The Nature of Reality tracks are pleasant but average and Get of Your High Horse Lady and Ain't Got Nothin' are B-sides really. Definitely an album for the fans, since if you don't like Oasis already, it won't change your mind. I suspect this album will get mixed reviews in the press, due to some of the weaker songs, but it does seem that Oasis have to write one of the best British albums ever each time, in order for their work not to be criticised.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest review, 20 Sep 2008
By Mani (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
Ok, had a listen to the full album yesterday. And I've listened to it several times. I'm a huge Oasis fan and for me the three 5-star classic albums are Definitely Maybe, What's the Story? Morning Glory and The Masterplan. Don't Believe the Truth and now Dig Out Your Soul are great companion pieces and are good solid records. I have a feeling this is going to be a hit with the critics and the public alike. Not quite 1995-hysteria, top-of-the-world, but just great rock n roll. What more could you want?

Bag it Up - wild, almost carnival-style, the chorus sounds like Liam at a freakshow. Definitely a different kind of Oasis.

The Turning - the classic of the album, starts off slow, almost like Ian Brown, then the guitars come in and the track takes off, ends up with some sound effects from the city and goes back to a mellow fade-out. Groovy.

Waiting for the Rapture - Noel leads a marching band, strong, pounding, and definitely not a Brit Pop sing-along anthem.

The Shock of the Lightning - you've heard the single, I love the album version with the turntable-style opening/closing, as if it's a song you're not supposed to hear. Love the "magical mystery" lyric and the drum solo is class.

I'm Outta Time - nice sweet song, the second single, is this really Liam Gallagher writing and singing?

Get Off your High Horse Lady - Noel sings a distorted B-side (in my opinion). Sounds a bit like Neil Young, handclap beat, some beautiful piano but I think this should have been left out. Maybe it's a grower.

Falling Down - again, you've probably heard it, begins with a teasing sound, the beat kicks in and Noel rules the roost. Fanatastic song.

To Be Where There's Life - groooooovy song. No guitar, very brave, great bass line...I think this sounds even better live (with the guitars ;)

Ain't Got Nothing - another B-side in my opinion, though Liam is catchy and it's a nice "rant" song (Meaning of Soul from Don't Believe the Truth is better tho)

The Nature of Reality - embedding the funk and groove even more, Andy Bell's effort is good but not great. Again maybe it's a grower.

Solider On - has a beat like Travis' Sing, a bit repetitive but a nice low-key closer (no Champgne Supernova here I'm afraid).

So all in all, a good album that I will definitely be buying. It isn't going to change the world but it shows that the best band in the world (to me) is capable of creating a sonically diverse album which won't appease the Oasis-haters (tho, ironically enough, you'll notice they're the first ones on the dance floor/tapping to the beat when they hear an Oasis tune!)--BUT it will please the fans, the critics and will sell a good few albums.

Go buy it!
