Oasis - Be Here Now

Mostly Great Stuff!

Man I have to tell you people that you are way to harsh. This album is almost the best Oasis ever. If it wasn't for My Big Mouth and maybey I Hope I Think I Know. Other than that it is great. The song Magic Pie has to be my favorite Oasis song it is mesmorizing. The line, "those who don't say what they mean live and die by there own sword" is a great lyric. Listen to it good and well and you will love it. If you like rock of coarse. June 22, 2008

I was wrong about this one.

Way, way back when this album first surfaced ('97?), I was an impressionable young adult, and made the mistake of believing what I read; in this case a Rolling Stone review.

If I recall correctly, they basically said that Oasis has gotten too big for their britches, and this is what happens when a band has too much money and too much coke. I remember that part. I couldn't make it up.

A month ago I bought the CD again. It's amazing. So many people hated and wanted to destroy Oasis. Sure, they were cocky as all get out, but they DELIVERED the goods.

Hey, could AT&T be wrong? "All Around the World" is a brilliant telecommunications jingle. I also love many other songs on this album, basically all of them. I would even say I listen to it more than "What's the Story...". That's my two cents (or pence). I'll never believe Rolling Stone so naively again. June 7, 2008

THE Classic Oasis Album

I love Oasis. There I said it. I kind of look at them as a guilty pleasure. Its bombastic rock music. They want to be the Beatles of this generation, all the while knowing no one will ever be the Beatles of any other generation again.

That being said, they are still one amazing band. I absolutely love Whats the Story Morning Glory AND this album, but I feel this one is slightly better as a whole.

First, the album kicks of with a grand rollicking anthem that is catchy and you never even know that you just spent almost 8 minutes listening to rock at its best. My other favorite songs on the album include Dont Go Away, Fade In-Out, and the touching Stand By Me which I have yet to figure out why this song hasn't been used over and over as a movie anthem.

I have yet to buy an Oasis album that isn't worthwhile, but if you are looking to start the collection, this is where to start. There is no filler and every song is top quality. May 14, 2008

When Bad things happen to Good Mancunians

This album is proof that Oasis was bound to stumble at some point. Hubris and talent can only carry a band so far. What could've been was reduced to what should've never happened! Despite the bad press that has been heeped upon this album over the years, it is still possible to dig through the sonic muck and find a few bright points. May 3, 2008

Oasis's Pepper

This was actually better than what most will tell you. And considering the time frame for they're favorite group this has to be considered this group's Masterpiece.Simply put some of us were not waiting for Morning Glory 2. And the imagination put forth on this is simply stunning. "Magic Pie" is unmatched for sound and beauty and I can't think of another one of they're CD's that makes me return over and over again.No this is not what may be considered what made them "Fimiliar to Millions". This, and I dread this word is "Art". Check it. November 18, 2007
