    On the group's first live album --a two-CD set recorded during triumphant return shows at London's Wembley Arena this summer -- however, the maturity that has started to pervade their personal lives, and Noel's music, is evident.

    It's that menacing air surrounding "Familiar" that makes it worth a listen, and Oasis is, quite simply, loads of rock and roll fun.

    The mix here is guitars to 11, everything else to 6, as the slurring, inebriated Liam is buried under mountains of riffs for better and worse.... Familiar to Millions reheats leftovers of better songs written six years ago and force-feeds them as reminders that Oasis could once write an uplifting song. As for those looking for a compact, two-disc set of Oasis' best, it's called What's the Story Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe-- available for the low price of $8 at your local used record shop.

    A truly great Oasis album. It's mainly a greatest hits set from "94" to "2000", of course skipping nearly everything on "Be Here Now", all except "Stand By Me". They sound tight, loud and Liam shows why he's the greatest rock "n" roll singer ever.… Expand

    oasis are amazing live. everyone who thinks they sound crap are obviously just weirdos who don't know good music if it hit them in the face, who more than likely sit as home listening to their slipknot albums… Expand
