Oasis To Finish New Album Soon

Oasis is making quick, early progress on recording their first studio release in three years, singer Liam Gallagher said on November 13, according to Reuters.

He said studio work began last week on the band's seventh album since forming in 1991 and everything should be done by mid-December. After Christmas, the band will come to Los Angeles to mix the album, aiming for a release around August.

As with Radiohead, Oasis are free of major-label shackles -- but don't expect them to follow Radiohead's example, and allow fans to download the album from the Web for whatever price they feel like paying.

Gallagher, peppering his speech with expletives, told Reuters it would be over his "dead body" before he went into a studio and worked hard to release his work for nothing.

As was the case with 2005's "Don't Believe The Truth," the band is collaborating with producer Dave Sardy, and all the members have contributed compositions, not just primary songwriter and guitarist Noel, Liam's older brother.

Liam declined to reveal the titles of his songs, but said they are pugnacious in spirit. Gallagher said "without a doubt" the untitled released would compare to the seventh U.K. albums of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, "Revolver" and "Beggars Banquet" respectively. "There's lots of cool parts, man," he said. "Really, we're throwing everything at it."

And the one before that, etc..

Either way, can't wait for it!

[Random88]

OK, how can you say the albums all sound the same??? Listen to the last one, then listen to the first one and if you don't hear a complete change in style you're a complete ****tard. They're all still awesome though, except SOTSOG

[MoshMaster101]

Noel says they're going all-out on this one: multiple orchestras, banging anthems, some of his best work in years... of course that could be all talk but I reckon it'll still be great.

[MoshMaster101]

Its just a shame that they'll have the recording done by the end of the year then have to wait at least half a year before its released. The industry have got to sort this out and get albums released at a much faster rate once they're done and dusted. If it were released in May instead of August then it could end up being the soundtrack to Summer '08.

[J.J.Jolly]

the newer albums are just not good enough for me, ok there legends, but there newer albums are rubbish. there not the same with out the other 3 band members

[ZeppelinruleZ]

good band, but they do always sound the same haha

[boor]

every band out there imitates someone else, past or present, to some degree. i actually like oasis better than the beatles. it's heavier and i can relate to an angry fighter better than sissys i guess. ya their albums sound similar... it's called a "sound". most bands never have a good enough sound to make one record let alone 5-10

[Shabalaba]

I quite like Oasis it differs from alot of the stuff i listen to.

[wiggy1988]

fantastic stuff

Sissys? What are you talking about man, Lennon was far from a sissy lol

[Lemmon]

oh and can't wait for the new album, should be sweet.

[Renfordoggz]

well as long as they don't start to tell other people to stop "ripping them off" when THEY rip off beatles so much lol either ways their music is pretty gd so meh worth a listen i guess

[supersonic23]

Yeah! Can't wait!

[VoodooChild15]

Am I the only one who prefers the later stuff to Definitely Maybe? That whole album sounded the same for the duration. Every song had the same mood and tone. The only ones I ever feel like listening to are Rock and Roll Star, Live Forever, and Married with Children. Of course, I love WTS(MG)?, but I legitimately like Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe the Truth much better than Definitely Maybe.

yhe they got gradually shitter

[Nor'Easterbass]

i like the earlier stuff better, but the stuff i've heard here makes me think this may be a good album, yet.

[metalifan]

I'm really looking forward to it
I have started to like Oasis a lot recently. No way are they better than metal bands lol but they are really amazing! Noel is a fantastic song writer but after watchign that documentry you can see that Liam can be a right idiot sometimes

[freedoms_stain]

Oasis: recycling old music from the 60's for 17 years and still going strong!

seriously, who are they musically cloning next? xfm scotand keeps playing this 'oasis' song that could've come straight off a dylan album (i now seriously hope it's not a dylan cover or i shall not survive the flame fest!)

[jpgr1987]

Bollocks, their last decent album was Morning Glory and everything since has earned the title 'ordinary.' They're a boring live act, boring musicians and will forever be trying to emulate the Beatles as closely as possible, how boring.

[Abe]

^Less boring than someone who only knows one word that means dull/boring/uninspiring/tiresome etc etc :p

[TravisWongPG]

****in love oasis hopefully they do a world tour I woud blow my load.

[StringsofBlack]

They had their day in the sun, they really need to just die off.

[Gibsondemon]

OMG, these Beatles wannabe still alive? We're doing something wrong then. Someone must kick the frontman's ass and tell him "You're not Johnn Lennon you moron". Disgusting band, same chords over and over again all these years.

no-one's saying their older stuff was crap, they're saying their recent stuff is

[sebbsmith]

Why listen to a 3rd rate Beatles when you can listen to the real thing?

[Altered_Carbon]

With a band like Oasis, you can't think of The Beatles, or The Kinks, or The Jam, or every other band they've been accused of sounding like. You've just got to take them for what they are; a rock n roll band with some good ****ing songs. Not in any way original, but the vibes are good, and that's all I care for.

[WCollins]

I think its pretty funny that everyone rips on these guys for sounding the same. Every band has their sound. No one else sounds like them. But hey all those emo bands are really changing it up now days huh. Oasis have huge changes in sound in every album. Noel had written the first two albums before they recorded definately maybe and their first and second so much different. And they have an extremely variable sound, they have two singers.....

[AngryGoldfish]

Is it just me or do I hate them with a passion?! I used to love Oasis, seen them twice in concert, very talented, decent albums the whole way through with some great ones, but yet I cannot get over the fact that Noel and the other one are so irritating! Why do they always have to be so damned rude! Do they just pretend to be hard boys complaining at everything that is not Oasis or Beatles related or are they really that stuck up?! I agree though, there are so many bands that sound just like them, I don't want to buy the seventh one! I've already spent almost 400 euro(including gigs) on them!

[zartists.net]

I don't understand why people like them so much, I've tried to figure it out and listen to a song of theirs only to have my ears start bleeding. Is there some cool hidden riff in between notes that is only audible at certain volumes that i'm missing? I quit my last job because they wouldnt stop playing wonderwall on loop, that and "you're beautiful" song, it was the perfect storm of shite.

[StringsofBlack]

grnday1236 wrote:

im not gonna lie... if i hear wonderwall 1 more time, i just may shoot myself :/

Haha im the exact same way. Every time I hear that song I want to jab out both my ear drums with a pencil. Its a good song but its soooo overplayed. For gods sake play a different song! They have better ones...

[Jalopy1919]

I absolutely love this band can not wait for the album, hope its like Be Here Now.

Checked.

Actually I believe best debut album of all time belongs to The Stone Roses. At least that's my opinion, heck they sound more like The Beatles (in a good way) and they weren't even trying to.

[pyritmann]

ugh the singer is like totally in it for the money though. thats the only thing i dont like about this band. i watched an interview with him and he admitted that money and girls were the biggest reason he made music. still a great band tho.

[manu777]

anyone who says it's the same chords over and over again listened to about 3 or 4 of their songs, that maybe do have similar chords.

anyone who said they actually sound like the beatles is deaf. Just because they claim the beatles as their major influence doesn't mean they sound like them.

and yes they're in it for the money. every ****ing band is in it for the money. the bands that are not in it for the money you don't know about...cos they have no ****ing money to advertise themselves...

seriously, some of the greatest bands and singers of all times weren't in it for "the music".

and last but not least, i think it's just hilarious all these people giving them shit, then turning on their ipods to some emo/punk bullshit band. precious, just precious.
they're not one of the biggest rock bands in the planet for no reason.
(yes, there's life outside of america)

Haha, like Beggar's Banquet and Revolver? He better not be talking out of his ass.
Checked.

[nikh158]

Best debut album of all time? How about Van Halen/Van Halen, MC5/Kick Out The Jams, Jimi Hendrix/Are You Experienced, just for starters? I think Definitely Maybe`s a long way further down that particular list. I`m another one who largely prefers Oasis` later stuff. Lyla`s a great single, as is the new one, Lord Don`t Slow Me Down. However, they`re definitely far too old now for all the attitude nonsense.

The man said it all, particularly the bit in parenthesis.
And what's wrong with sounding/wanting to sound like the Beatles. The Beatles literally change music, both the way it was written and the way it sounded, with innovation, they influenced more people than anyone else can ever claim to.

The Definitely Maybe album defined a generation Rock and Roll Star the arrogance of the opening song of a new band the kind of thing that grabs attention .Songs like Cigarettes and Alcohol which was as relevant to people then as it is to the present generation. Live Forever a master piece of the way people feel when young, Married with children speaks for itself and a mellow song to finish a high tempo aggressive album.

Compared to Hendix who without a doubt could play guitar, but did not have a particularly good voice but lyrically not as easy to relate to, not sober anyway, and Van Halen I can't stand means nothing to me the guitar is not for me, not my style.

You okay there buddy?

[Social D Rox]

I think it should be pretty darn good just like the rest of their albums. I cant believe people say they sound the same. Noel comes up with some of the weirdest chords and puts them in at the perfect time of the song. All their songs just flow perfectly. They might sound the same because they use a lot of the same chords. You kinda have to though when you have written hundreds of songs over your career. Keep rockin Oasis!!!!! Hopefully a U.S. tour soon!!!!!

[Fedaykin]

Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants is the greatest album made in the last 10 yerars
Now, with that over, I really look foward to another oasis album, I know is not going to be the greatest thing ever, but it's always interesting to see what they come up with.
And, if it just has like a 0.01% of Revolver or Beggar's Banquet in it, i'm sure it's going to be great.

[War-Ensemble]

Its a fairly retarded thing 2 say that all their albums sound the same.

anyway cant wait till this comes out

[Under_The_Oath]

Ah, wicked. Maybe they'll come out with a drum beat. The one they use now is getting kinda stale!

[Bendybaws]

I'd go with that. Liam cannae sing anymore. Noel can still beat out a tune out of a guitar though. But what do I care? I don't give a crap

[martsky]

I was never into these guys when they were huge in the '90s, and didn't discover them until around 2001. But I think they're great, and they made me want to pick up and learn a guitar. Obviously I'm not alone, if they have over 800 tabs on this website. Looking forward to the new album.

True that. still like them tho

[jon3782001]

We need people like the Gallaghers in music. Who cares if they want to be the beatles? Its not like Greenday don't want to be The Ramones. Oasis are still one of the most popular British bands as well as the third most succesful, behind of course, the Beatles and the Stones. The music also has a lot of feeling and nice emotion to it rather than a poor whining voice with 3 overdriven power chords knocked up behind it. If greenday had wrote Dont look back in anger or the Importance of being idle, maybe I'd think they were a bit better but they just didnt. Maybe Oasis' last 3 albums weren't fantastic (well I thought they were) buts that just because people got sick of them due to the ridiculous success of morning glory and definatley maybe. And who knows? Maybe it WILL be better than Revolver and Beggars Banquet. Though no, most of you people are purists who t hink that nothing will ever be better than The Rolling Stones and that modern music is shite. Lighten up and listen to it before you slag it off.
