if it's a two song lp and the song's split up in to nine completely separate
parts then that suits us fine ...
*Tsk* Not too crazy about any Noel song that exceeds 4-5 minutes. They tend to
be over produced and a bit bland. They just don't age too well in my opinion.
DYKWIM and CS are good examples.

For songs not aging well? Go and stand in the corner for at least a week
right now, young lady!
DYKWIM and CS are class, in fact all of BHN is cool and each song on that
album is about 3 days long

I know this because Tyler knows this
a lot of that album's shit, though, isn't it?
the girl in the dirty shirt's just the baddest song anyone's ever written.
owen morris! is the pluspoint of that lp for getting some sound on it, but
there's too much. thirty tracks of guitar my arse ...
owen morris totally fucked up any reputation he had with that album IMO.
as senior producer, he should have had the balls to step in and point
out it was getting silly at points, but he obviously didn't. plus
points are DYKWIM and DGA. MBM, SBM, FIO, BHN, AATW and ITBM are more
good than bad but still needing adjusting in places. the rest should
have been taken off and replaced.
oasis must share the blame if they are to share in god's love, though, be
serious. i don't think he did a good job producing, but it's just that
there's an inkling of the (preferable to us ...) original oasis sound on
that lp. overrun by shit, yeh, but something that they've lost with either
spike or a self produced lp.
spinning on a bit ...
who would you want to produce this lp?
***I'm just praying that you were only being sarcastic. I'm not going to get
into how over-produced BHN is because its been discussed to death. You have
your opinion and I have mine. The only proper songs on that album (in MY
opinion) are DGA and BHN. Its just the least listened to Oasis album in my
collection. =)

spike did a good job on SOTSOG although saying that, he done fuck all
really cos noel's demos are really similar in terms of production. as
for this album, i think it sounds great - can't find any obvious faults
apart from bits of hindu times and force of nature.

pete waterman.
Owen Morris, maybe someone cool like Marr, Squire, Weller etc

Abundant dulcibus vitiis.
no, i dont think it would be a backward step, I would just like to see how
Owen would interpret the newer oasis songs. a backward step would be trying
to write songs about being working class and craving fame
Owen Morris or fat Boy Slim, who would you rather have?
certainly the worst idea i've heard - especially live. know it isn't
about technical details and ability, but musically, they sound ace at
the minute...
still wouldn't have him back though. he's had his turn and i'd like to
see someone different have a go. and the oasis sound today doesn't
really sound that different does it? nor do the songs.
> Owen Morris or fat Boy Slim, who would you rather have?
i'd rather hear them record directly into a dictaphone and release that
TBH. actualkly, i'd like to hear norman do a couple, just do see what
it'd sound like in a car crash curiosity type of way.
i suppose they do. i'll just always miss guigs and bonehead because
they were guigs and bonehead. i don't care how fast they can play,
they did what they had to do just fine, i think. the two new vegetarians
are good but to me they aren't really oasis.
i think bringing in gem and andy was the best thing they ever done, to
be honest. not just cos they're better guitar players but cos they
offer more to the band. in terms of writing decent songs and having the
technical knowhow in the studio. plus they have better hair. and andy
is keeping the beard dream alive now that noel's betrayed it.
yeah, like the wise old guy once said. all good things come to an end at
some point. good oasis songs from the past 3 years can be counted on one
hand, i think. even if you're missing a couple of fingers :)
i'd fiercefully disagree with that. but, there we go...
uurgh ...
just urrgh jamie!
on a non-beardal note, i'm with captain c that bonehead and guigs are
bonehead and guigs - yeh, you can introduce people who fit in more or can
write good songs, but they just aren't bonehead an guigs!
an, yeh, technical ability's a gayer - is there much debate that the first
two oasis lps -sound- better than the last? is a serious q ...
part of me's dying to say broudie, you know ...
and not at all cos of the coral. but for what he did on things like ocean
rain ...
not sure, though. i think they need a producer.

It can be arranged, sunshine.
arrange away, sailor.
bonehead and guigs - session musicians. well they were really weren't
they? judging by the oasis books i read, they had approx 0% of input
into any of the songs oasis ever did. and live - they just done their
thing, adequately enough, but you couldn't say it revolved round
bonehead or guigs at any time could you?
> an, yeh, technical ability's a gayer - is there much debate that the
> first two oasis lps -sound- better than the last? is a serious q ...
not really on about anything sounding better but cos they know how the
studio works. take liam's songs for example, if he'd wanted to get them
demoed, he's have had to wait for noel to get his arse in gear and,
judging by listening to the radio 2 documentary, liam's for more keener
to get stud recorded than noel is. so, with andy and gem and with
johnny marr, liam went and done his own songs. or when noel bailed out
of the 2000 european tour - they still carried on without him. my point
is that oasis can still function as a band without having to wait for
noel to be ready. not for a minute suggesting they couldn't do it
without noel there permanently, cos it wouldn't be oasis without noel
there.

bullshit man! that's my favorite track on the album. what's not to like? it's
got a good chord progression, a great melody, nice gritty love song
lyrics...not too sentimental, an excellent vocal from Liam...and as a bonus,
some groovy small faces-ish electric piano at the end.....
it is true. they could be better than they were though, with bonehead and
guigs, but i just don't think they were arsed enough. out they step and in
step two guys who have been through many bands. technical ability and
experience isn't really a match for raw intent.

i think they're getting a bit conservative as they get older. the sound is
just all wrong! and some of the songs are there, perhaps more so than
standing, but it isn't as good because it doesn't sound right.
if you think my opinion has changed slightly, it probably has. i've been
debating this with a cup full of mould i found under my bed and i haven't
decided proper yet.

Warning: Offending me may harm your nutsack
rough and raw would be good. remember how raw DM sounds? now days, there's
not nearly enough distortion and they're using rubbish amps.
only rough and raw cos they couldn't aford better equipment. it was
their first album on an independant album - they were never going to be
given a blank cheque and be told to "buw what you want". maybe they
should record it in a garage and be done with it.
...uarterback, actually. get it right.
and if you're going to be captain credibility, then don't just dismiss my
legitimate conversational point!
which way'd you argue on whether the sound (not the songs, not the delivery,
nothing like that) of the first two lps is better than the last three?
agree on the sound being wrong. this last lp particularly, and be here now
...
too much lennon solo tribute on this one, and guitar knobbing instead of
tunes. it just seems like the original songs were built on something, a
riff or whatever, and the majority of these were written either as chord
after chord to_write_a_song ...

gotcha.
gotcha.
m
i'd go for that ...
there's more bad production than good production, and it ruined things like
the lennon lps ... double fantasy sound terrible on record, but listening to
the original acoustic demos of things like woman's completely different.
mavers is our reference point for this mail - i read an interview the other
week where he fished out a tape of him in front of a tape player playing
la's songs, to give to the interviewer. there's something you get from
that, part of the sound, that you don't get in a shiny studio environment
...
uurrghhh ...
it's just bad ...
i'd quote the lyrics but it'd be the usenet equivalent of pissing myself.
just sums up bhn badness for me, all of it! don't like the sound.
what'd you think of the rest of the lp?

DM sounds absolutely horrid, I can hardly stand that album anymore, had it
on yesterday. bar married With Children and Live Forever i think the sound
is horrible.
Morning Glory sounds absolutely gorgeous, except Roll With It which sounds
awkward
BHN sounds Ok, few too many overdubs and a bit long but the sound is not
tooooo bad
SOTSOG, as horrible as DM, maybe a little horribler. the choir noises, the
keyboards, the nasty guitar sounds, the vocals eeeeeuuuuugggghhhhh
HC is much better, comes second to MG in terms of sound. The guitars sound
nice, everythings nicely mixed (except FON and AITM) and the bloody choirs
not there. Quite like the Lennon Delay vocals thing, in moderation
i think there's a definite guitar sound on definitely maybe, is fucking
waves between noel and bonehead, it sounds magic, but on this one there's
too many bits like that plucky stretched bit in little by little. it all
sounds arkward and deliberate to me.
noel's lyrics, too ...
aren't as keen on them on this lp. little by little again a bit of an
obvious example, not just the first two lines, the lot. i think he used to
be naturally pretty poetic (fade away, spaceman, columbia, take me away)

i'm all for low quality production though. it shows where the good and bad
songs are at least, no one can then be jaded by fancy studio work.
a pearl drum kit, a couple epiphone les pauls and some cheapo marshall amps
would be the don. instead of using amps no one has ever bloody heard of.
what the fuck is a clarke tyger anyway?
I agree......they seem much less tune based than they used to. though i'm not
sure what you mean about the "chord after chord" bit.....Noel has always
written chord progressions first, then a melody, then lyrics
I quite like BHN apart from magic pie......It's my second favorite album behind
DM. Maybe it's because I love layered guitars that I dig the
production.......also could be because I'm a big Phil Spector fan, and I'm
really into to a massive, powerful wall of sound. I don't really like subtle
music.....and production, let's put it that way. I'm bothered by the length of
a few tracks....but not to the point that it ruins the album. I loved the
album ever since I first bought it....and it stayed in my stereo for about 3
straight months. I loved it because it was a proper rock album, with songs
that flowed together perfectly and cohesively....it didn't feel like 5 singles
with some filler like MG did....and I knew it would alienate a lot of the pop
fans of Morning Glory....which to me sounds very glossy, and polished....I
can't stand the production on that. Whereas Be Here Now may sound
massive.....but it's also still pretty sloppy, and raw......which keeps it a
rock n' roll album.
that's not quite true......songs like force of nature, hung in a bad place,
hindu times, better man etc....uses just as much, or more distortion than there
is on DM. The guitar sounds are thicker and heavier now......proper beefy rock
tones. Definitely Maybe had rather trebley, jangly guitar work....a bit like
the La's or the Roses......listen closely, it's really not that heavy....and
the guitars aren't even mixed that high.....they're sort of just chiming away
in the background. Anyway, Be Here Now has their most rock n' roll guitar
work...
they should get leckie......be nice to hear a leckie produced oasis record,
don;t you think?

naah! The one thing I'll say about BHN is that it doesn't have a stand out
track a la Live forever or Supersonic, which in my weird logic also works in
its favour. Cos really, whatever track you put next to something like Live
forever, it's gonna sound shit, isn't it? It's a theory of mine, that if
Shakermaker and Up in the sky were not the tracks before and after Live
forever, people might rate them higher.
I think the quality of the songs on BHN is constant throughout and there's
not a single track on this album that I consider shit, in fact TGITDS was
one of my early favourites, along with IHITIK. But each to his own or
however that saying goes
> thirty tracks of guitar my arse ...
The only track that does take it too far IMO is IGBM. That track should have
been no longer than 4 mins. Everything else is fine by me.

I don't get it. You're not the first person I've heard say this.
3 years is a long time to be listening to a band that's only done 3 decent
songs (In YOUR opinion). So why are you still here? To bring everyone else
down?
Go away!
why bother then? they should quit right now shouldn't they? what's the
point, otherwise? are we going to work out a ranking system to decide
what songs are better than others?
yeah exactly, you don't get it. people can have an opinion about things,
sometimes it's different from yours. it's perfectly legal. if i bring you down

if you can't handle it then perhaps you're the one who should consider going

I wouldn't. All five lps sound different, cos they were recorded at
different times under different circumstances. If HC sounded like DM,
Oasis would be fakes. Is that what you want?
Having an opinion isn't the issue was trying your raise. It's that you've
held your opinion for 3 years, and still you come here.
3 years is a bloody long time. The words "sad" and "troll" spring to mind.

of having a discussion with others who don't share their exact opinion. you

I'm not being sarcastic, BHN is battling with MG for third favourite Oasis

> Cookie Dude, proud owner of 179 cardigans, said:
why are you always so petty, when someone only hints at a negative opinion
towards Oasis? Relax a bit for christ's sake! All I was saying, is that I
think Up in the sky comes off so bad with a lot of fans because it's the
track after Live forever on the album. So while it is not too bad a song
(imo), people might rate it lower, simply because it's next to the song that
has been voted "best Oasis song of all times" on a few occasions.
I wasn't saying they should stop making music, because they can't write
another Live forever (they probably can), I was saying that the arrangement
of the tracklistings might play into how people perceive the songs - another
example: Morning Glory sounds so much better when you just had to sit
through She's electric. Get my point now?
it's wank reasons that annoy me. like "well the songs are alright but
they're not as good as cigarettes & alcohol are they?". now some people
might think they are perfectly fine reasons but i don't. and i'll

gay off.
it keeps cropping up in your post that i want definitely maybe again - i
don't, i've got it, i want something good. i'm just complaining about the
badness of it, i've enough rants stating that -it doesn't matter what kind
of music it is, if it's good it's good- to corroborate that. they can go
disco if they want, if it's good it's good, if it's bad it's bad.
yeh, i know ;)
i was comparing the two as two songs written with proper guitar parts. i'm
not sure what i was trying to prove.

go and put slide away on.
never liked that song. have constantly whinged about it though, if that's
of any consolation.
freakishly right!
yeh!
isolated listening, particularly of shakermaker as a single, and of up in
the sky goes for that. both top tunes in my book. available at ...

oh, YEH, cos sarcasm's REALLY FUNNY ...
was rambling on about this to a mate last night after seeing one of those
dress up common room grungy-guitar bands that try and be a bit bluesy ...
i don't really dig comparisons, but i think that putting a fast guitar based
tune like hung in a bad place or full on against a fast guitar based tune
like headshrinker or fade away is pretty worthwhile, just cos it's - well,
this one's better than that one!, or whatever you think.
that's it! forget all these fancy dan producer names - let's get dave
bachelor back!
yeah, but what i'm saying is that HIABP isn't made any better or worse
by anything that headshrinker has. i believe that each and every song
should be judged on it's own merits and not be weighed down by pointless
comparisons.
well i thought you was. if you wasn't then fair enough and soz.
>> forever, it's gonna sound shit, isn't it? It's a theory of mine,
Heh, thanks. I hope Jamie finally understands what I was on about too. I
wasn't comparing any songs with the above statement, just trying to say why
I think people often rate Shakermaker and Up in the sky as bad songs. While
I don't think they are great, I like to listen to them every once in a
while.
defo!
might have been bizarrely done and unenjoyable but it came out alright
enough ...
yeh - more than see your point matey. all this on our side just comes from
frustration because i don't think they've done themselves justice. fuck
knows though, it's just me moaning.
i just don't understand anyone thinking they're not great - the sound of
shakermaker, guitars on it, and the vocal of up in the sky particularly.
might put it on in fact.
Hey, I never said he was ugly! :-P

i hadn't noticed ;)

yep, love oasis with a passion. just haven't heard anything good from them
in a while.

download heathen chemistry then :P
yeah, well i've really really really given HC many chances until now but it
just won't catch on. so for now it's doing well gathering dust :)

Don't shush me; I fought in the baggy wars of '89 so you could wear
those appalling flares. Show a bit of respect.

FFS... no, I don't think the first two albums sound BETTER than the last
three, just DIFFERENT. If Oasis made five albums over a period of eight
years that all sounded the same, they'd be faking it. Get it? No, I
didn't think so. Let me spell it out for you...
When they made DM, Oasis were a bunch of unemployed scallies from
Burnage dreaming of becoming rock'n'roll stars. And that's exactly what
DM sounds like.
When they made MG, Oasis were bona-fide rock'n'roll stars living the
dream of a million working-class kids with tennis rackets. And that's
exactly what MG sounds like.
When they made BHN, Oasis were a bunch of working-class millionaires
with country houses and chocolate-coloured Rolls-Royces. And that's
exactly what BHN sounds like.
When they made SOTSOG, Oasis were a band disillusioned with the
shallowness of fame and falling out of love with their wives and each
other. And that's exactly what SOTSOG sounds like.
When they made HC, Oasis were wounded souls finding redemption in simple
rock'n'roll music again after years of marriage break-ups, lewd tabloid
headlines and copious drug-taking. And that's exactly what HC sounds
like.
So, in summary: why should I moan about the last three Oasis albums,
when they sound exactly how they're supposed to sound?

Er... does that involve anal sex with a man? Or would fancying Tim

So why do you compare everything Oasis ever record to DM? Why can't you
judge each Oasis album on its own merits instead of being an arse and
saying if it ain't as good as DM, what's the point?
> i want something good.
"Heathen Chemistry" IS good. It's you that's crap.

But you rate The Music and think The Streets are shit. By that logic,
you saying the last three Oasis lps are rubbish is actually a pretty
good recommendation.

In that case, you should follow your own logic and compare The Music's
debut album next to Led Zeppelin (I) and The Stone Roses, and conclude
that The Music are indeed rubbish.

I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint.
