A very good album,
By
This review is from: Be Here Now (Audio CD)
A really nice album, which is under rated because of probably the greatest album of all time coming before this. But It's a very good album. Some off the songs are really long which some people might find to long but I think people get the money's worth with them. It's enjoyable and well worth having in your collection

Oasis : Be Here Now...,
By
This review is from: Be Here Now (Audio CD)
Right, we all know Oasis was on top of the world at the time of the release of Be Here Now, and the expectation's for the followup to What's The Story? (Morning Glory) were higher then ever. It is neither the epic some claim it is, or the disaster other's say it is. It is simply an overly long, slightly overblown solid Rock album."D'you Know What I Mean" kick's off the album in fantastic Oasis form. The song is catchy, rocking' and one of Oasis' best if you ask me. The beat is awesome, the guitar's swing and Liam's vocals shine on this one! The next track, "My Big Mouth" is another rocker, but in louder form then were used to hearing from the boy's. It's quite a loud one, so brace yourself, but I love the swagger in this song and the lyric's are funny. Next up we have a Noel sung song, "Magic Pie". It sound's like he went for that "Epic" style on this song, and he almost does it....but fall's short as it is a tad to long. Nevertheless, the song is great and is the only song Noel sing's on this album. "Stand By Me", one of the single's off the album is another song that suffers from being to long. Shorten it up a minute or two and it's an A+ track. The next three track's are some of my least favorite Oasis tunes in their catalog. "I Hope, I think, I Know" is as bland as an Oasis song you'll find. "The Girl In The Dirty Shirt" isn't much better, although it does benefit from being a tad catchy. "Fade In-Out" is an interesting song (Yes Johnny Depp play's slide) and is actually a neat listen, but like many on this album it drag's on to long. On "Don't Go Away" Oasis seemed to try a little to hard but it's a great song and quite pretty. "Be Here Now", the title track, like "Don't Go Away" is a slower rocker on the album and is a relaxing listen if you make it this far on the album. "All Around The World" is way, way to long (over 9:00) but it's a good track for the first 4:00 or 5:00 minutes. Finally, by the eleventh track we get another "D'you Know What I Mean" quality track. "It's Getting Better (Man!!)" is an awesome rocker! It's up-beat, catchy and has that great "Stadium Rock" feel. This song is over 6:00 minutes, but it has the right to be as this length fit's the song. The final track is a reprise of "All Around The World". Honestly, do we need to add another 2:00 minutes to a song that doesn't even need to be 9:00 minutes? Overall, Be Here Now is a good Oasis album and nothing more. Noel should have included a song or two from this one for the newly relesed "Best Of" album. Check it out out if your already a fan, but if your a starter go with "Defiantly Maybe", "What's The Story (Morning Glory) or "Don't Bieleve The Truth". Cheers!

Not Bad,
By
This review is from: Be Here Now (Audio CD)
There's been a stalinist re-write of history on this CD. 'The Greatest Thing Ever' on it's release soon evolved into 'A Misguided Overblown Epic'. Not surprinsingly, it fits pretty neatly between the two. The dross on here is simply pedestrian; nothing on here will make you want to throw the disk away. The songs are too long ('Magic Pie' and 'Do you know what i mean?' outstay their welcomes after the 8th guitar refrain!!!) and the constantly huge guitars do seem to hide some pretty weak songs. 'Stand By Me' is wonderous and 'All around the world' and 'Girl in the dirty shirt' are defiantly celebratory. Though they come off as boorish morans in the tabloid press, the talent within their ranks shines through. And Noel has the best handle on fame that I've ever seen.
