Oasis

Be Here Now

Why does Noel hate this so much?

Review Score:

(10/10)
It's true that Noel himself dispises this album, but he really should not. With Oasis preparing to release a new record in May 2005, I thought I'd a review of my favorite Oasis record. Be Here Now is a totally different sound featuring layers upon layers of guitars and plenty of long-running loud sounds. It also has some of the sweetest melodies the band has ever put out, such has "It's getting better, man!" and "I hope I think I know." The only part of this album that I don't love (as in, I only LIKE) is the two-part "All Around the World." Making it go on for almost 12 minutes on two tracks is totally unnecessary. But that's really my only complaint...maybe the fact that the record is lacking a little in bass. Other tracks such as "My Big Mouth" and "D'yer know what I mean" are flat-out rockers that show us a new side of Oasis. Each track tends to play like "Champange Supernova" and its epic-feel. Jam-packed with Beatles referenes and masterpiece after masterpiece of epic songs, I encourage all doubtful Oasis fans to give this album another listen (through good headphones) and hopefully you'll realize it's beauty.
