Amazon.co.uk Review
Oasis have been accused of losing it and recovering it more times than any sane mind should rightfully remember, but whatever trajectory their controversial discography takes from here, Don’t Believe The Truth should come out looking like a rather proud success. Partly, it’s because Liam and Noel sound on such rude form: the younger, fronting with some of the old menace and successfully channelling his rather simplistic songwriting impulses on the lightly trippy, shaker-ridden "Guess God Thinks I’m Abel"; the elder playing some of his more devious tricks, imagining The Beatles’ Revolver played by a Mariachi band on "The Importance Of Being Idle", and doffing a cap to late-period Velvet Underground on "Mucky Fingers".

Partly, though, it’s because Oasis sound like they’re functioning less like a not-so-benevolent dictatorship and more like a real band again. With only five songs written by Noel, contributions from Liam, guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell have space to spread their wings a little: in particular, Bell’s "Turn Up The Sun" – a gargantuan opener that sees Liam deliver one of his best opening lines to date ("I carry the madness/ Everywhere I go") – proves mighty testament to Oasis’ new democratic bent. --Louis Pattison

Album Description
Don't Believe The Truth is the sixth Oasis studio album – their first since the number one multi-million selling Heathen Chemistry, released in 2002. It includes the soon-to-be-classic single "Lyla". Noel Gallagher describes the track as "the Soundtrack of our Lives doing The Who on Skol in a psychedelic city in the sky (or something!)"

CD Description
'Don't Believe The Truth' is the sixth studio album by 60'sinfluenced stadium rock giants Oasis. Taking their base influences of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, yet again Oasis have crafted an album that is packed with swagger and style, sounding classic without sounding dated. Includes the single 'Lyla'.

Customer Reviews

Do believe the truth: it's a pathetic LP
Q: Why don't Oasis want you to believe the truth?
A: Because the truth is that they ran out of ideas many years ago.

Noel has been very keen to 'talk up' his band as if they are part of the Beatles/T.Rex/Sex Pistols/Smiths rock continuum. He is misguided/deluded if he thinks Oasis are a great group, or even a good one. Great bands always innovate in some way. Oasis have offered the world nothing new whatsoever. Average dullards with no ideas do not change the world. They should have spent less time on expensive coats/coke and more time on the songs.

Thank goodness they seem to have split up. Good luck to Liam in his solo career. The man has an appealing voice, at least, despite being half-monkey.

DO believe the truth. Always.

Ha ha ha ha ha.
This album is pish of the highest. Worse than bad and for all you suckers who buy this and claim it to be good, I hope you wake from your stupor soon. I wanted to give this album no stars. It doesn't deserve any but the star rating forces you to give at least a one star award. Still, this album is pish.

What happened?
Is that a rhetorical question, Heathen Chemistry was fantastic, it was punk it was phsycadallic, acoustic - it was their best set of tunes since Morning Glory and their best album since "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants" and "Be Here Now" (those albums rocked too) but this is nonsense.

Wheres the tunes? This is Oasis we are talking about. Noel should of saved or used his B Sides, its that simple.
