I think it's their fourth best album (fifth if you include Masterplan compilation), after the obvious two and Be Here Now. I was listening to it on the train yesterday. It's light, it doesn't lumber around and flows decently. Liam's songwriting is really important on this album as it lifts it for me, even the much derided Meaning of Soul is fine as a wee interlude. I actually like its simple acoustic punky charm. The only ones I couldn't really manage were A Bell Will Ring and Keep The Dream Alive, but I was surprised that I didn't hate them like I used to and that they were okay at worst. It's a good album. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, the album could and should have been better what with the material that was floating around at the time, and maybe its ultimate peaks are not as high as their other albums from that era but, unlike the others, it doesn't descend to the depths of depravity. It's consistently good, and entirely listenable for me. Having followed your posts for many years, it's a pleasant surprise to see you so positive about some 00s Oasis. And thank you for throwing the "depths of depravity" line in for old times' sake. A wonderfully droll and disparaging comment, fitting for a Smiths fan. Maybe I listened to it in a good mood! I half expected myself to go back to saying I'd projectile vomited when A Bell Will Ring came on, but no, I listened again a couple of days ago, and yep, definitely a good album! On a more serious note, maybe its the part of me saying I really miss Oasis. That pining for them has only become stronger because both Noel and Liam's current work doesn't float my boat. It's the first time I've felt since the split that the post-Oasis work doesn't hold any interest for me anymore.

It was 22 years ago yesterday since Oasis appeared on CDUK Headliners. 2002-03-16 CD:UK, ITV, Waterloo Studios, London, UK this was a brilliant performance, love RNRS. Lots of energy here and the crowd were great too I’ve always thought it was better than the performance they did for TOTP around the same time. I think Paul Stacey is on Keyboards off to the side of the stage by Noel. Jay Darlington joined the band for the main tour but Paul Stacey did the first few performances, you can see him playing during the columbiahalle gig in Berlin on 10th February 2002

After SOTSOG, Oasis released a grand total of 8 songs that were written by Noel and sung by Liam.
The last b-side* to be written by Noel and sung by Liam was Let’s All Make Believe in 2000.
*Excluding remixes and live versions.

And the b-sides thing... what happened. For better or worse, they became a democracy. They went from having one songwriter to having four. From then on, Noel only wrote about half of each album. He wanted to sing at least a couple of those himself, leaving only 2-3 for Liam per album. Of course, Liam also sang all songs written by himself, Andy and Gem, so we still got plenty of his vocals on each album. And there were some great songs written by LAG. But it’s a shame we lost out on the magic formula (Noel’s songs, Liam’s voice) that made the earlier albums what they were.

Made me kind of sad reading that, not going to lie.

It's 30 years ago today since Oasis appeared on The Word with Supersonic. Great performance but crap TV programme.

Really looking forward to that. Hopefully it's not just an unheard demo of a released song.

Really looking forward to that. Hopefully it's not just an unheard demo of a released song. I suspect it will be a previously released tune. They tend not to leak versions of brand new songs. Wonder what it could be though? I dunno why but I have a feeling it’ll be Heathen Chemistry era.

The title of the song is not obscured on Maxi's YouTube channel. It is The Morning Son.

Regardless of who's uploading it on YT, it will be interesting to hear it - especially if it comes from the Oasis era. Is it from the DBTT sessions or what?

We meant like unheard songs entirely, and they're known for doing that. When they put out Gem's Demos from 2007 they omitted Mindfield Feel from their release. Thankfully it's online either way. But who knows what other unheard songs and recordings they're holding onto...

Its probably the only chance for us as fans to put something together worthy of the band.
