I agree, but they always seemed to find some way of fucking things up for themselves whenever they were in America. It seemed that every time they went to the US for a couple of years, Liam or someone else in the band would act up on tour and Noel would quit the band and fuck off home for the zillionth time. Noel really wanted Oasis to do well in America, but the rest of the band seemed to treat American tours as a joke.

yeah the footage of their American shows in the doc is so hilariously bad, just really half-assed

the show when they're on jib in the documentary is absolutely hilarious

Personally, I am less nostalgic about the 90s than I've ever been. Oasis' work in the 00s ranks as possibly the most sustainedly uninspired run of any once good band ever; though I don't think I ever heard anything from Dig Our Your Soul.

Yeah, I disagree with you about the last two albums. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Heathen Chemistry I mostly agree, they mostly suck but there's a couple of decent songs on both.

Obviously, they were at their best 1994-1996, but the last two aren't terrible.

hahaha. Also can't get past the fact that the account is called @HummusMem3s meaning that upon it's creation, there likely already was one account in existence decicated to the particular niche of posting memes related to hummus.

"roll with it" is a miserable song

"Acquiesce" is a dreadful song with no visible point

always glad to see "Roll With It" get the hatred it deserves, what a draggy attempt at an anthemic pub-rocker

She's Electric and Underneath the Sky are both unassuming and kind of delightful, and have stronger melodies than the Oasis usual. Soft sentimental spot for the title track. The rest I can give or take - either atrocious or overplayed or both. I used to love Round Are Way but it sounds hugely naff now.

As an aside I have terrible personal experience of Liam (via my partner, who worked with him) and I would (rightfully) be chased out of the house if I ever played them again

yes go on.....

i like “cast no shadow” quite a bit still, and i think “hey now” is a pretty good slowed down shoegaze song

potentially contrarian opinion but “some might say” is a good chorus that the rest of the song hangs onto by its fingers

one year passes...

I think I’ve got a feeling I’ve lost inside / so take me away
