Wonderwall - Oasis

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:i dont know the Incubus track but Wonderwall must surely be one of the greatest songs of the last thirty years...so simplistically brilliant, and by the way.....what the hell is a wonderwall(other than the name of a George Harrison project from the 1960s, maybe Oasis were simply using the title to pay homeage to him here???

BRIGHT EYES "lifted:or,the story is in the soil,keep your ear to the ground" cd,2002. #161US

Christ.....what am epic title,fourteen words in there!!!!
have two albums by these guys definately,maybe three,not sure...like or love them all, but this is my favourite one...
sounds on some songs like it was recorded in one take on a portable tape recorded,background hiss,noises etc....
sort of thing i think Bob Dylan could have done, very off-beat,kooky with good stories and simple plain acoustics allround...
one of those albums you either love or hate IMO,thankfully i love it...one of the earliest recommendations from Corey way back when....
i love stuff like this that is raw,ragged,warts and all...hell, i have to otherwise i wouldnt like half of what Neil Young has released LOL.
very very good album, was curious as to what allmusic would rate this, but i neednt have worried as they score it 4.5/5 or a converted 2.7 on the MHRS.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

I admit it, I get sucked in by the hype on occasion. Such was the case here. Pushed by many critics on last years
best of the year charts, I went for it unheard. I need to find some new critics. I think someone here gave this high
marks also, but I don't remember who. I just didn't get it. Maybe years from now I'll put it on and feel different.
Gotta give the band kudos for most of the music. A lot of instruments on this album. Nice subtle use of horns and
especially like the steel guitar slipped in on a lot of tracks. I think it was the lyrics/vocals that brought most
of this down for me. Without the lyric sheet I would have been totally lost for most songs. Even with it I needed
some stronger drugs than I had. There were only three tracks that I can say I liked. That's even worse than most of
my online listens. And I bought this! I'm in the minority as usual here though, as the album was a #2 hit here, and
got the group a Grammy for Best Alternative Album. What the hell do I know anyway?

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
