Heathen Chemistry

What do Amazon.com customers think?

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.

(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 these tracks are compared to the songs off their first two albums and The Masterplan(as they should be), which are the best and only good Oasis CDs so far.

1. The Hindu Times - This is Oasis at its best.

2. Force Of Nature - 10/10

3. Hung In A Bad Place - 10/10

4. Stop Crying Your Hear Out - This is a very very good song, and is two steps away from being as good as Wonderwall, but there are'nt enough electric guitars in it, which their should of been and even if their were the song would not of been the same but better, its good but not great compared to "Live Forever" and 'Wonderwall"

5. Songbird - Its listenable, but the lyrics are stupid and it should not of been on the album, its songs like Songbird and She Is Love that let this album down alot.

6. Little By Little - This is really close to being as good as Don't Look Back in Anger, and even though it is'nt, its really brilliant, one of the best songs of the album and one of their best songs too.

7.A Quick Peep - All instrumental, really good.10/10

8. Probably All In The Mind - Its almost there, the guitars could of been alot louder than they are, it could of been a much better song.

9. She Is Love - Listenable but also a stupid song, I don't like it, and I don't see why anyone else should either.

10. Born On A Different Cloud - Really Great song, but theres to many effects noticable, some great guitar bits, should of been louder which would of had more effect.

11. Betterman - Not like other Oasis Songs, good song though and is more of a groove. Would of fitted better on the album if the majority of the other tracks were real good.

So their you have it, an honest review of Oasis's 5th album by a person with good taste.

Its a shame it was'nt as good as it could or should of been, but they will return to form without a doubt.
