Best Since Supersonic
Oasis breathed much needed life into the British music scene 15 years ago: Their audience was growing tired of waiting for a second Stone Roses effort and was in danger of being lobotomised by an influx of moody shoegazing "college rock" bands from the USA. When I first heard Supersonic and Cigarettes and Alcohol played by the band supporting Verve at a Manchester Uni gig in December 1993, it was a moment of enlightenment. Impatient to know more about Oasis, it was frustrating to discover that it would be a wait of four months before the lads released their first single - but well worth it.

For those who make the comparison to Status Quo, well, it has been said before and it is always better to have your own opinions than to dine out on somebody else's (Mr. Albarn's)from yesteryear. Remember Quoasis? The band do have a sense of humour. For those who say "samey", that is an age old accusation levelled at Oasis and is now moribund Mr Partridge.

The Shock of the Lightning recaptures the enthusiasm that surrounded the release of Supersonic. Dig Out Your Soul is a tour de force and is clearly the best album since Definitely Maybe. Oasis are now the elder statesmen of British Rock and their ability to reinvent themselves is now on a scale comparable to U2. This is the league Oasis are now in.

Absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant, classic songs, The shock of lightening & Falling Down. This album is going to be a classic.
