Oasis Album: “Dig Out Your Soul (Special Edition) [PA]”

Description :

Oasis (Brit Pop): Noel Gallagher (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums, electronics); Liam Gallagher (vocals); Andy Bell (electric guitar, tamboura, keyboards, bass guitar); Gem Archer (electric guitar, keyboards, bass guitar). <p>Additional personnel: Jay Darlington (Mellotron, electronics); Zak Starkey (drums); The National In-Choir (background vocals). <p>Audio Mixer: D. Sardy. <p>Recording information: Abby Road Studios, London England. <p>Continuing a career revitalization that began in earnest on the previous DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUTH, 2008's DIG OUT YOUR SOUL is precision-crafted to approach the heights of prime Oasis, with the Gallagher brothers and company soaring above most of their own turn-of-the-century work. "Bag It Up" announces the SOUL's arrival with a scrappy sense of majesty, while "Waiting for the Rapture" (sung by guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher) stomps like a no-nonsense "I Am the Walrus." Always an ensemble ready to blatantly reference the Beatles, Oasis sticks with Fab Four nods on "The Shock of the Lightning," where frontman Liam Gallagher evokes a "magical mystery" amidst a flurry of driving guitar lines. In fact, down to its neo-psychedelic collage cover, SOUL echoes mid-period Beatles, in intent if not studio experimentation, without sounding overly beholden to the legendary band. Arguably Oasis' heaviest and most immediate record, DIG OUT YOUR SOUL is easily one of the group's strongest albums, and proves that it remains in fighting form.

Oasis' 7th album shows the lads starting to return to Morning glory days. It is loud, exciting and thoughtful. They have gotten away from the past albums and moved back to what made them famous, great rock music. It takes a few listens to appreciate the music but worth the money!
