It’s been 13 years since the hay day of Brit Pop and the daily tabloid battles between Oasis and Blur. Despite that Oasis continue to soldier on with the same beatle-esque manc swagger that raised them to top of the pile in the first place. I didn’t have especially high hopes for this album as the quality of some of their output following their dazzling first 3 albums has been variable. The Gallagher brothers have continuously shuffled their auxiliary band members in a hope of recreating the early days when brilliant songs flowed effortlessly from nowhere. “Waiting for the Rapture’s” opening riff sound like a direct lift from the Doors’ “Five to One” but the rest of “Dig Out Your Soul” will be immediately familiar to all Oasis fans. All of the ingredients of a great Oasis album have been poured into the mixing pot, perhaps the only missing magic ingredient is the fact that it’s no longer the mid ‘90’s.
