4 stars for an album worthy of it.

Review Score: (8/10)
It's got to be hard to make a follow-up album to the mutli-platnum success of Oasis' sophmoric triumph "What's The Story (Morning Glory)." As far as most fans and critics are concerned they biffed on their third cd "Be Here Now." But to the untrained ear this album sounds like dribble and weak attempts at conquering success demands. However this is their most psychadelic and smoothest album. From beginning to end it flows like the English Channel from the opening rock 'n' roll anthem "D'You Know What I Mean?" to the reprise of one of their best songs "All Around The World." Sure it doesn't have smash hits like "Wonderwall" or "Supersonic" but there isn't one song on this record that feels like it doesn't belong and doesn't compliment the next or previous song. Just take a peak at "Stand By Me" or "Don't Go Away" and you should be sold. 8/10 Highlights: "Stand By Me" "Don't Go Away" "D'You Know What I Mean?" "All Around The World" "The Girl In The Dirty Shirt"
