Yeah, well, I had to listen to it like five times before I really liked it. Have you heard "Falling Down" yet?

I've heard it - it leaked tonight.

It's everything I wanted and more.

Absolutely SENSATIONAL.

I've got the album on loop.

I know! This is almost my third time listening to it. I can't wait until I can go to the shop and buy it, then get the pre-order I have on iTunes!

How creepy are the lyrics to the Turning. It's also totally engrossing and groovy.

It's just a brilliant album.

I'm Outta Time is going to be epic.

Get of your high horse lady is also brilliantly different.

They need to put that out as a single and make a video like The Importance Of Being Idle.

Is shock of the lightning typical of the album?

Nope.

The rest of the album is nothing like "The Shock Of The Lightning".

The album is just not what you expect. Listen to the opening song and you'll be surprised.

It's a great piece of work.

Here's the first song - but it should be listened to as an album and not via the shit quality of YouTube.

Yeah, I agree, give the album a couple of listens (but don't do the 21 that I just completed in 24 hours ) you'll like it.

I'm honestly haven't had it off!

How good is it?!

There's a VERY positive review from the states just been published - saying in essance - that this album SHOULD get people who say "It's all the same thing they keep spouting out" off their back.

http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/6840

It's a good read.

Every song is just glorious - High Horse Lady is just the ultimate chillout song.

The opening of the album is the darkest Oasis lyrics ever.

As is The Nature Of Reality - its scary.

I agree, here's the review I posted on various forums today:

I own every single Oasis CD, just like everyone else. There are some tracks on every album that I can't listen to ever again because they're a bit dull, stuff like "Up in the Sky", "Bring It on Down", and "Digsy's Dinner" from Definitely Maybe come to mind (I'm not saying they're bad, I love "Digsy's Dinner", but it's one of those filler tracks). The "The Swamp Song" excerpts in (What's the Story) Morning Glory? would have been better off not being included on the CD, being that we're in an age of the MP3 Player, there are probably people like myself who leave it out since they have The Masterplan anyway. To be honest though, I've never liked their instrumentals, it's just basically the band jamming, anyone can do that.

On the other hand, Dig Out Your Soul is very much geared towards a mainstream audience, every track on there is great and they could all be future singles. The critics right now are saying that kids are listening to older music because it sounds better on the new technology, and I for one agree. I'm starting to see less and less people listening to rap and going for stuff by The Beatles, The Clash, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and reggae. I think this album will attract a lot of those people that are into that because it does have that groove filling and at the moment that's what everyone wants to be nowadays, the next Beatles (at least in my school, but no one there knows Oasis).

Going back to skipping tracks on the other albums, I just have to listen to the whole album in one go, and I have for the last twenty times I listened (I basically put it on and couldn't sleep because I was dancing to it). I think their first US single should be "Bag It Up," it's very rocky and radio friendly, I love the "more, more, more" bit. "The Turning" will be a classic with a line like "Shake your rag doll baby!" It's very soft at the start and then the chorus comes in, then BOOM. Noel sung songs are always great, "Waiting for the Rapture" is very impressive "I'm tired, come get me off the merry-go-round," the way he sings it is so pleasing. "The Shock of the Lightning" of course is great and flows really well with the album. "I'm Outta Time" I think will be a classic, I could see Liam just sitting there on his on singing the lyrics, I could see it getting a lot of airplay on the radio, it'd be a hit in the US. I actually find "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady" quite sensual, at least in Noel's voice. I think if it was made into a single, they could use some nice model and have the video be in slow motion.

"Falling Down" is bound to be a huge anthem, I can't wait to see the video they produce for it, it has to be something extreme like Noel standing on a mountain or something, screaming out the lyrics. Just as I thought, the produced version of "To Be Where There's Life" is awesome, really grooving sounds, I'm really glad they decided to add lyrics to it, it'd be just filler if it was just left alone, and the lyrics rock! "Ain't Got Nothin'" is probably the weakest on the album, but it's a lot better produced than in the demo we heard earlier in the year. The rhythm in "The Nature of Reality" is amazing, really rocking, very simple, classic. "Soldier On" ends the album very nicely, very touching in a way.

I say don't skip any of the tracks for those of you who haven't listened yet, listen to it all the way through at least five times before you make up your mind about it. They've made a really, really, really good album this time around. It's going to be huge everywhere and is probably going to blow up the music industry in the US, that's if we keep the sales up. If there's enough hype, it will definitely happen for them this time around.

Great stuff.

You should put a review on Amazon - three people already had 1 outta 5 star reviews for it - before it was leaked.

I hate people like that.

I've put up a 5 star one

I'm absolutely in love with 'I'm Outta Time' - think 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' 2008, but better.

And it's a Liam song too!

It makes me cry a little, I don't know if it's because it has meaning to me or the fact that Liam finally learnt how to write properly.

I'm Outta Time is pretty weak IMO but Bag It Up, (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady, Falling Down and The Nature Of Reality are all great (love the drums on that last one)

Nature of Reality is something special.

Took me to warm to it - then I realised how great it is.

The album sounds so . . . fresh - in a way no recent Oasis album has.

Critics will love it.

I'm Outta Time is a gorgeous song.

It's a good album, hopefully some of the later tracks will be growers.

But bloody hell, what a song 'Bag It Up' is!
