Prime recensioni per "Dig Out Your Soul" degli Oasis, da ieri nei negozi inglesi (90000 copie vendute in un giorno). La mia tra qualche giorno.
NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS
"In other words, not quite the fabled, oft-promised “Best one since fookin’ ‘Definitely Maybe’!” but certainly the best one since fookin’ …Morning Glory’. And you never thought you’d hear that, did you?"
Voto: 8/10
UNCUT
"As their audience slump into middle age, and recession looms, when folk might lose their homes, their jobs and more, it may be that Oasis's biggest challenge is to give their audience something to sing along to when there's not much else else to shout about. Are they up to it? Are they still mad for it?"
Voto: 3/5
THE GUARDIAN
"Neither masterpiece nor catastrophe, more experimental than Noel would allow but no one's idea of adventurous, a lot of Dig Out Your Soul sounds like hard work, and not in the latter-day Scott Walker sense of unorthodox or avant garde. Perhaps that's fitting"
Voto: 3/5
THE OBSERVER
"You could say that if Definitely Maybe was their Stone Roses, Dig Out Your Soul is their Second Coming. It won't win them any new fans, but those that believed the truth last time will dig this"
Voto: 4/5
THE TIMES
"Could you really have been listening to the best Oasis album since Definitely Maybe? Maybe not definitely. But definitely more than maybe"
Voto: 4/5
ROLLING STONE (USA)
"At its best, this brutish approach has produced some transcendent music ("Live Forever," "Wonderwall"), but as years have passed and gray hair has sprouted in the Gallagher brothers' moptops, the self-parody has often seemed less charming than wearying"
Voto: 2.5/5
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Noel Gallagher, the band’s guitarist and principal songwriter, wrote half the album and the best of its droney tracks: “Bag It Up,” “The Shock of the Lightning,” “(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady.” They all go down in the first half, and they’re not fascinating; they don’t particularly show off his skill for the unexpected chord change. As ambitious as it is in the experience of sound and groove, “Dig Out Your Soul” is unambitious in songwriting content"
