Official streams of the new Oasis single: “Shock of the Lightning” (Windows, QT), from Dig Out Your Soul, due October 7 on Big Brother/Warner Brothers.
Sounds a lot like something from 1997’s Be Here Now, which I guess is a mixed bag.
What I liked about Don’t Believe the Truth (2005) was that the band finally incorporated some vintage production to support their vintage influences. They finally got comfortable with sounding like the bands they were emulating. This might be a return to the bombastic, sometimes bloated, production of their earlier albums, which may please pub rockin’ waterheads but not the more discerning fans who generally dismiss Oasis as less than the sum of their idols.
