#1843 Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

Four phases of listening to this album:

1) Well, I do hate Oasis, but this isn't too bad. They're going for it a little. Can't quite get past that Oasisness though (this last about 2 tracks)

2) Alright, alright, whoever these mystery British dudes are, they kinda rock. Propulsive and heavy. They kinds sound like Oasis, but like, good (this lasts about 2 more tracks)

3) This sounds kinda like the Beatles with the saturation turned down. Wait a minute... fuck! This *is* Oasis (you guys even copied being really into India from the Beatles, huh?) (4 tracks)

4) I'm bored.

I really tried to keep an open mind about this. And there are places where you forget that you're listening to Oasis, where you can hear the actual rock and roll chops through the dickish veneer. But they just can't keep it up. It gets sloggy and boring and pedestrian and phoned in and so very Oasis by the end. Still points for being better than expected on that first half there 3/5
