Dig Out Your Soul Image
  • Summary: The British rock band releases its seventh album, produced by Dave Sardy.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 13 out of 27
  2. Negative: 1 out of 27
  1. What's striking about Dig Out Your Soul is how its relentless onslaught of sound proves as enduring as the tunes.
  2. If there are moments when the feted snap and snarl of yore amounts to little more than ramming generic blues licks down the audience's throat, they're tempered with moments of discovery like the lysergic 'To Be Where There's Life' and 'Falling Down' which displays an uncharacteristic lightness of touch.
  3. An overall sound that's been compressed and flatlined into one continuous buzz, this sounds like a tired band that had already gone through the motions before it even started.

    I don't know what's going in the mind a perfect human beings like the critics. The point is fans love it. Majority is pleased with this album. They also did negative reviews on past Oasis albums but it sold tens of million copies worldwide. In your face critics! Ultimately, the fans are the one who will decide what bands will stay longer in the industry. Expand

    The used to be the best band in the world, now they are the best BLAND in the world. If only Noel could come up with at least one good tune. This is all sound over substance. So disappointing. Expand
