A Disappointing Follow-Up

Review Score: (4/10)
Oasis achieved phenomenal success with the release of their 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory," but then followed the unfortunate trend of having their next album suffer. Still, "Be Here Now" has its moments. The best song on here is obviously "All Around the World". It's long, pretentious, and has a stunning music video to go along with it; it's reminiscent of the Guns N' Roses' song "November Rain". The album also houses "The Girl in the Dirty Shirt," which is the nasaliest of any song Liam's sung before or since. The rest of the album is mostly just OK, making this a major disappointment given the brilliance of their last album. Oasis completists will want this album; everybody else would be wise to just buy "All Around the World" as a single and leave it at that.
