the shock of the lightening

[Saint Keith]

oh dear :(

5 things to say about this

1) I dont think it will ever be in anyone's top 10 oasis songs
2) 12 years ago it wouldnt even have been a b side
3) it sounds like a remix of I Can See A Liar, which was a poop track off only a half decent album
4) if this is the best song of the album, its going to be ****e
5) it really wasnt worth the wait and anticipation

i think it's a decent first single. far better than lyla.

[Bexy]

Heard it the other day and the only word I can think of to describe it is bland.

I was never a massive fan of Oasis anyway, but it seems to me that they are waaaaay past their best.

[Junction 9]

As I know he's a massive Oasis fan, I think Keith has summed it up very fairly. Nothing new or inspiring. Lost their edge many years ago.

[Deppo]

Same old rubbish.

[swannymere]

Did'nt like it at first but it is starting to grow on me and i find myself humming along!

[Saints1980]

Oasis are rubbish.

[Julian H. Cope]

Taking drugs is like having a cup of tea.

i'm astounded that people still care about oasis.

[jeff leopard]

i've heard it a couple of times now and can confirm that its a 3rd rate battle of the bands pub-rock dirge.

They sound tired, burnt-out, empty.

Oasis still care about Oasis. Im more surprised Noel didnt just quit years ago and go the Paul Weller route.

Weller of course spent a number of years in the pop wilderness before coming back with Wildwood et al. I'm one of thoses who wished he hadn't bothered.

I reckon NG will do an Ashcroft. Release a couple of turgid bland slabs of MOR and then briefly reform the band. He'll finally find a niche as a washed up pundit on sky sports with the likes of Joey Barton.
