Dig Out Your Soul by Oasis

Pros: Good lyrics, Great sound, Decent vocals
Cons: Shorter than I'd like!

"The best album from the band in years" is a backhanded compliment if I've ever heard one. Loaded in that little phrase is the implication that the last few albums have not been all they could be but the band is doing much better now, thank you. As I ...

Pros: Production, Guitars, Drums, Performance, Vocals, & Lyrics.
Cons: A Couple of Songs that Fall Short.

From 1994-1997, there was no band that was as big or as arrogant in Britain than Oasis were. Led by the Gallagher brothers, guitarist songwriter Noel and younger brother vocalist Liam, Oasis ruled Britain with two amazing albums. Yet after 1997's ...

Cons: None

Pros: Great first (Noel) half

Cons: Don't let Andy Bell and Gem write songs!

Pros:

-Musical prowess shines through
-Great lyrics, as always
-One of the better albums of 2008.

Cons:

-Slightly lacklustre
-a little disappointing
-lacking the magic associated with Oasis
