This review refers to
Dig Out Your Soul (CD version).
A fantastic new album from Oasis - much bouncier, almost folk-like at times, but you can still hear the distinct drumline that makes Oasis who they are. I didn't even know they had a new single out when it came over the radio, but in the first few bars, you could just tell.
This is Oasis all over - but definitely new. They play much more with melodies in this one, and you just can't help but jig along to if not every track then at least the majority of them. I find myself playing some tracks over and over and over again - they're ridiculously addictive!
Yet another fantastic new album for the tail end of 2008, and so glad I found out about it before it was released - gave me a chance to get hyped up. I've always loved Oasis, from way back when they released Definitely Maybe, and am thrilled to listen to how they've developed. This is different, but it's them: it's another stepping stone in the Oasis story, and I can't wait to see how it progresses; the Gallaghers are growing up.
