Disco de Oasis: “Lyla [Australia CD]”

The first single off the long awaited new Oasis album, in my opinion, not a good choice for first single, I think the B-sides are actually better than the title track. I like the direction the band have taken with this new material though, and are a lot better sounding with Gem and Andy Bell on board. If you have heard this song on the radio and liked it you will definitely like the album. Only hardcore Oasis fans should pursue this single.

This was one in a decade of UK #1s. Unfortunately, oasis have suffered from Cliff Richard syndrome this decade (D'You Know What I Mean?). "Won't Let You Down" still has that Beatles influence the press hype over. Released in the UK and Eire by Big Brother/Vital and Europe by Helter Skelter/Sony BMG. No domestic release here, as usual.
