4.0 out of 5 stars The Importance of Oasis, 8 Aug 2005
By Jon Richards (Swindon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oasis have done it once again, kept up with the music of today while also being the distinguishable and brilliant sound of Oasis of yesteryear.
This song has many different sections of music while also flowing very well. Noel singing instead of brother Liam is always welcome; his different singing style definitely puts this song in a world of its own.
The Importance of Being Idle just shows Oasis are new but classic, different but the same and everything in between.

Brit Pop is back and the Kings of British music are back with it, with this great single and even better album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinks Homage, 28 Aug 2005
The first reviewer clearly is misguided. This single is a great and obvious homage to the Kinks; and the entire "Don't Belive the Truth" album is easily their best. Noel is still the brains, but having 4 writers in the band has given their sound more breadth and depth. Gem's track "A Bell Will Ring" is uplifting and the best track on the record. Buy the whole album and collect the B-sides as well-just like we did 10 years ago. Oasis are not only back on track, but headed in a new direction as a true band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 11 Aug 2005
Why oh why did they release Lyla as their first release from the album when I can honestly say it's the worst track from the album. There are far better tracks sung by Liam on the album. As for this track, it's Noel (and Oasis) back on form....excellent! Coldplay who?
