Oasis

New music is always nice, I thrive of music, not only new, old will do is as well, though yesterday a new album was released and I was down at the store ready to pick it up as it hit the shelves. The album, as you should have guessed by reading the headline or looking at the picture to your left, is of course the new Oasis offering 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

Back in the days I was really into Oasis, I was blown away when their first album 'Definitely Maybe' was released, and actually quite happy when it became commercial, as the other kids were looking strangely at me, when I was raving about this new English band and something called Britpop. Time went and their second album 'What's The Story (Morning Glory)' saw the light of day, and I was into that as well. Though I, as time went, became tired of all the hype and sold my 2 Oasis albums and forgot about the band, right until now.

I've only had a few listens to the new album so far, though I like what I hear. It's still Oasis, it still sounds like Oasis, but the band has become mature (that have probably happened years ago, though as written, the band hasn't existed for me since '97). Effective and well written without being a masterpiece of any kind, well- made and executed rock, that has made me realize that I need to re-purchase the 2 first Oasis albums and the rest of their discography while I am at it.

(And the artwork is quite cool, all the way from the cover artwork, to the sleeve and back cover, nice work :))
