3 stars  fine album, 12/05/2008, by meclarkester1994
Definitely not the best Oasis album but no Oasis album is terrible and this one isn't.It has many good songs on this but then some not so good. My favourite song on this album is definitely Gas Panic!

4 stars  Even though I love it..., 23/01/2008, by PerhapsMaybe
I still can't give it five stars because of Little James, PYMWYMI and I Can See A Liar. But it gets four stars for some really great songs- Gas Panic!, Go Let It Out, Where Did It All Go Wrong?, Roll It Over, Sunday Morning Call...
It also has the best three Oasis songs to come right after another on an album- GP!, WDIAGW? and SMC. Or, alternately, as some people might say- FITB, GLIO and WHL?

4 stars  The one that got away., 26/04/2007, by MrsOasis
When Noel told the NME in late 1999 that 8 tracks were golden and two were shite, he was completely right. Maybe it should have been 7 out of 10, but he was basically right.

Hopped up on valium and suffering from panic attacks Noel Gallagher wrote a dark, pesmistic album. Asking 'Where did it all go wrong?' and telling us it really never works out right. Noel's cheerful, postive outlook from the preivous records was gone.

You could call it the hang over from Be Here Now, written 2 to 3 years later maybe not. You could as call it a patchwork, an album made in the storm of Bonehead and Guigsy leaving, an album pieced together becasue it was promise to the record company.

While I disagree with Mike Spent's production of the record, seven of the 10 tracks do shine through. Songs like Gas Panic, Roll it Over, F**kin in the Bushes, give this album some credit. I understand why Little James is on the record, proving Noel is not as cold hearted as he sometimes protrays himself.

Personally if 'I can see a liar' and PYMWYMI were replaced with Carry Us all and Lets all Make Believe, the album would have got better reviews. It Noel was going to do depressing, I think he should have gone all the way.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, is not standing on giants, in the end its standing on the shoulders if Noel and Liam Gallagher, who were left holding the bag, when half of their band left.

4 stars  rocks!, 12/03/2007, by blackened89
it's not britpop but still an album that rocks way better than heather chemistryfav tracks:

go let it out
sunday morning call
roll it over
wherre did it all go wrong
who feels love
f***in in teh bushes
gas panic

5 stars  Considering all that happend, 08/03/2007, by jcof0689
this cd has some filler songs, but it also has some classic oasis songs and this gets a five since noel decided to go in a different direction rather than trying to stick to his guns, something alot of musical acts dont adhere to enough
