Oasis fans, though, have long been safe in the knowledge that Oasis do not follow such trends. It seems that for every classic single that Noel Gallagher writes, he can just as eaily churn out a great B-side. At 14 tracks long, it is also longer than any of their other albums and can still afford to exclude some very worthy songs. Put simply, this is Oasis at their best. Highlights litter the album.
Many songs involve the dreams of the urban working-class youth.
Despite this wish to leave the urban slums behind, there is generally a very positive outlook throughout the album. Oasis always did mock the anst-ridden grunge generation in interviews. This album is an impressive display of Oasis' swagger, and their mastery of rock n' roll. They clearly want to remind the world that their masterplan is still in full swing and showing no signs of being extinguished. Inc.
