JohanF.Oct 6, 2008Seriously this is as good as DM. Its Oasis's 4th album which is 10/10 for me along with WTSMG, DM and BHN. The songs will sound great live and Liam has rediscovered his classic voice. Best band in the world are back with the best album of 2008. Actually best album of this decade.
-
-
FrankS.Oct 6, 2008Superb album! Some different sounds on there, but at the same time it always feels like a classic Oasis chorus - rousing choruses, slick guitar pumps and the odd nonsense lyric!
-
-
joen.Oct 7, 2008Excellent album from a very underrated (at least in america) band. Although it is hard to compare it to Def.Maybe and WTSMG, I can say that it is up there with their best. (and that says alot since i enjoy all of their albums.) New fans should "dig" it... as i know the diehards will. Unbelievable group of work.
-
-
AnthonyA.Oct 7, 2008Oasis do it again. Blinding tunes.
-
-
ChrisW.Oct 7, 2008Another solid effort from the Gallagher Brothers. I would like to have seen a long CD this time around... but 8 listens in... and I can't get enough!
-
-
SteveH.Oct 8, 2008A clear advance on their "comeback" album "Don't Believe the Truth". Withe their seventh disc, the Gallagher brothers are back in "morning Glory" form. Excellent.

AlbertoG.Oct 15, 2008Fantastic album, specially the first 7 songs. Their best since the underrated Be here now.
-
-
KTOct 18, 2008Rockin' album! Went way beyond what I expected. Sounds better each time you listen to it. Playing it full blast out of speakers really makes it shine. Bag it Up and I'm Outta Time are probably my personal favorites. An album that sounds like Oasis, but in a new, exciting way.
-
-
LGF.Oct 25, 2008the people running this site have got to be idiots because there in no other way someone could get a 60/100 off the NY Times review. It was more like a 90/100, they're retarded or just don't have very good comprehension skills. The album is great! best of the year BY FAR!
-
-
AndrewR.Oct 7, 2008Its a true Oasis return to form. Best album since Be Here Now.
-
-
TylerR.Jan 12, 2009Can't find any critiscisms of this album - every song is a belter, as long as you don't listen to it with Definitely Maybe in mind. It's easily better than 90% of the rest of the rubbish being churned out these days by other artists.
-
-
AlbertoAlNov 25, 2008It's a very good album, their best since Be Here Now. The 8 first songs are amazing.
-
-
JohnF.Oct 13, 2008This album is amazing. And NYT gave way more than 6/10 to it, for sure.
-
-
KevinNOct 14, 2008Definitely the best complete album in the last decade, oasis have brought back the terrific melodies in a different way than before: relying on reflection and swagger in an almost back and forth manner, the album should please the millions of oasis fans worldwide who waiting long and hard for this record.
-
-
SallyS.Sep 25, 2008A superb album as a whole, rather than just a good collection of songs like recent efforts. Much different to what casual followers of the band would expect, it's the album that they had to make.
-

JosephA.Oct 6, 2008This is an excellent album straight through. I enjoy it thoroughly.
-
-
JoeS.Oct 7, 2008The BIG "The Sound Of The Lightning" made me hopefully they've regained some of the swagga lost in the last one. Unfortunately, "Lightning" is a bit of a red herring. Aside from a couple songs ("The Turning" and "To Be Where There's Life") it's back to the limb sound of Don't Believe The Truth.
-
-
SeanW.Oct 8, 2008I don't know what these reviewers are listening to. This album is a blast... loud, cocky, fun... with some truly great riffs. Best album of theirs in a while.

DimaV.Oct 11, 2008Not bad but not good. Boring.
-
-
MarkOct 10, 2008Solid album featuring some absolutely brilliant songs. If it had finished on a more solid note than "Soldier On" then I would have scored it higher.
-
-
FF.Oct 12, 2008The record is very good. The better of them in the last years.But like an old fan, I still think that might do anything superior if they want it. I really hope that next record be more Guitars Loud, Screaming voices... A true Rock n roll band without caricatures of your owns
-
-
CraigR.Oct 13, 2008The 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.
-
-
[Anonymous]Oct 14, 2008Easily their best album since Morning Glory. Perhaps the only criticism is that the album gets progressively weaker as the songs go on - but the first barrage of songs are superb.
-
-
JoaoFNov 8, 2008Guys, Oasis are definitely back.

LucasZ.Oct 8, 2008I very much like this album, as a youngster I think this is the best album Oasis brought out, ever.
-
-
RichardHOct 8, 2008First couple listens I wasn't entirely convinced by this album. It's not as instant as the last two, but perhaps that's a good thing... the tunes endure in your head, and Noels song in particular are fantastic. Great stuff!

JoelS.Oct 9, 2008A slightly better than middling effort. The album starts strong, slackens in the middle and, in my mind, ends with a thud. While I enjoyed the non-Gallagher songs on Don't Believe the Truth, the tracks on Dig are weak, as is Liam's closer, Soldier On. And am I the only Oasis fan wishing for more Noel written songs, and less Noel sung songs? Three is too many. Let Liam sing!!!!

ChrisKAug 15, 2009When I first heard this album I thought Oasis were finished...but after hearing it again it gets a lot better, with some of their best work on here...of course it can't compare to Definitely Maybe or Morning Glory, but it's still a great album by a great band!
-
-
SteveW.Oct 12, 2008A very, VERY, good offering. Snarling is a description thats been batted around and I couldn't agree more. They seem to have finally realised that over analysing things makes them sound too polished. This seems like they've got in the studio and growled it out, slapped it on CD and headed to the pub. awesome.

NatalieHNov 8, 2008I think this album is absolutely crap! it's the worst one they've ever had! please get a grip oasis and and i don't know why people think it's great! Oasis are just trying to be cool but they aren't!
-
-
RosceC.Oct 25, 2008Very poor all over the place disaster. amazing how such hype was created for this poor album, the Oasis guys like to think they are the best bad ever created .... sad sad .. Rosoe.
-
-
BillWDec 9, 2008The only problem with the album is it's nothing new. It's not better or worse than the last album.
-
-
DavidS.Oct 7, 2008Their best in a decade! The songs exude confidence and epic grandeur. Serious goose-bump music. Proves that the boys are still the most important contemporary rock band of our generation. No other band can equal the soaring melodies and instant appeal. Whether you love em, or hate them. you must respect them!
-
-
TiernanO.Oct 7, 2008Very impressive return to form. No anthems just a handful of fantastic songs and some turds too!
-
-
PaulK.Oct 7, 2008Amazing music. Works as a whole and is disparate enough to keep your interest while continually rocking. A freight train of a record. These gentlemen know what it's all about. Bravo!
-
-
MarkLOct 7, 2008I think Oasis have really outdone themselves. The more i listen to it more I love it. A must own and love for any Oasis fan.
-
-
MattOct 7, 2008Another incredible album from the best band in the world. I've never heard a bad Oasis song. What a great energy they have, and so much more entertaining than all of the bland monotony out there.
-
-
dancAug 31, 2009This album proves that oasis are still very much an important force in music today. all this songs deliver whilst it's no definitely maybe or Morning glory (but then again no album is) it stands up as a great record with great songs by a great band. a pleasure.
-
-
RobGOct 12, 2008Much mare than i hoped for, and more than first meets the ear. Give it a few listens and you will find what yoe've been hoping for. Very rewarding
-
-
SimonK.Oct 13, 2008As mentioned in some reviews, this album succeeds in an area wich many others fail. Keeping away from tedium, with much subtle things and variations in each song. Sure, there are no classics on this album, wich though in this case means the music is not simplified for the casual crowd. This makes this album into the best they have done so far.
-
-
Jay-ZOct 13, 2008Shits banging Few tunes at the end are a bit shit but its there best since WTSMG. Shake your rag doll baby.
-
-
CLNov 6, 2008I don't think they'll ever top BE HERE NOW, but this is better than everything that came afterward, really.
-
-
markpDec 11, 2008Yawn, pure British mediocrity. They never were particularly good, just middle of the road rock for the masses, boring.
-
-
John,Jr.H.Dec 17, 2008I 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.
-
-
DanielH.Dec 21, 2008At last! A consis album that has an identity. Gets better with every listen.
-
-
ChrisC.Jan 18, 2009While this may come off as not as great of an album as Don't Believe The Truth, this is a simply great rock record that has swagger and heart unlike most of the bands out today.
-
-
sandybNov 13, 2008DOYS is the shape of band mature. It's solid album and very strong.
-
-
alexgNov 25, 2008Let's face it they will never gonna have another dm or wts?mg (and,in fact, i don't want that to happen) but doys is as good as i need, is the excuse i want to be a fan for the next 14 years thank you G'bros now i know i don't need to Live Forever but i can elegantly Fade Away, D'you Know What I Mean?

-
EduardoMNov 27, 2008Great album but not better than be here now for me.
-
-
Dec 29, 2010Nice release, but far below the glorious era of Oasis .... the beggining is very rock, until track four; then, oasis falls in the trap of "experimentation" or tries to create some pop ballades, but unfortunately unsuccessufuly

Sep 29, 2012It's better than Don't Believe The Truth. The first half of this album is fantastic. Liam's songwriting improved a lot. I'm Outta Time and Soldier On are great tracks. Noel's songs in this album sound more inspiring. It's their best album since Be Here Now.
-

Mar 8, 2013I like Dig Out Your Soul, but I remember that I love Morning Glory and this, just like most of their last albums, is worse. Half of the tracks aren't very brilliant, but the others are good, especially Falling Down and The Shock Of The Lightning. Could have been better.
-
Jul 22, 2014The songs written by Noel are amazing, every single one. But the rest of the band doesn't try to match his level. It's the best Oasis album since "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" though.
Awards & Rankings
-
It won't win them any new fans, but those that believed the truth last time will dig this.
-
Qualitywise, most of the tracks here are more ''Bungalow Bill'' than ''Eleanor Rigby.''
-
Noel Gallagher wrote two more tunes here, both excellent. Unfortunately, age has softened his heart, and he cedes the album's other half to his bandmates (including lead-singing brother Liam), who offer subpar material.
