Oasis
Reprise Records
After a three-year hiatus, Oasis has released their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, which is arguably their best work in the last decade. While the Manchester quintet has grown up a bit, their boyish wit and juvenile charms still ring strong.
The album opens with “Bag it Up,” a catchy alternative anthem that carries through while Liam sings about the “heebie jeebies.” The album takes a more melodic detour in later tracks such as “The Shock of the Lightning” and the ultra-aggressive, self-deprecating tune “Ain’t Got Nothing.” So far it seems that the break has proved to be a good choice for the band, who suffered from a major decline in popularity during the early 2000’s when Britpop wasn’t favored too strongly. Fronted by two egomaniacal Gallagher brothers, Dig Out Your Soul shows some kind of soulful growth that fans like to see, even when a band’s charm was previously defined by being an asshole.
