Overview Edit

Heathen Chemistry is the fifth studio album by English rock band Oasis, released in 2002.

The album was written and recorded with a back-to-basics sound with a more rock feel to it; the more crude and simple sound differs from the musical grandiosity of Be Here Now.

Heathen Chemistry would prove to be last album to feature the band's longtime drummer, Alan White, who left in early 2004, with Noel Gallagher claiming White's commitment to the band wasn't adequate. He was effectively replaced with Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey.

The name Heathen Chemistry was taken from a second hand T-shirt that Noel had stumbled across.

5 stars Better than ever
Took a brief time for the album to grow on me, so I'm glad I didn't immediately write a review because it would've been a less glowing one.

Plenty of rock 'n' roll songs on this album, but it's clear that Oasis is broadening its reach while at the same time maintaining that 'oasis' sound. Songbird (yes, Liam can write decent songs) and She is Love are quite nice and understated. Better Man rocks with an irrestible groove. But without doing a complete rundown I can just say there are plenty of standout tracks here. And the lyrics work well, too.

3 stars (Almost 4 stars) An Honest Review
Oasis's 5th album is an impressive return to form.

Overall the album falls short a fairway compared to their first two, but its good to see that Oasis have made a return to form on this one, and important that they have made a return to form also.

Many songs on this album are good, very good as the Hindu Times shows, which without a doubt is as good as many of their other songsof Whats the Story...... and Definitley Maybe.

Anyway heres a rundown of how good the songs are, and note that alot of t…
