    On the radio yesterday the DJ was like "Hey everyone it's the 25th anniversary of Be Here Now! Definitely gotta be one of my favorite Oasis albums for sure" and then instead of playing a song from it he put on Champagne Supernova.

    I was 18 when I bought this in 1997. I remember when I put it on for the first time. Life was good. At 20 I left the UK for the States to better myself. I became a citizen and worked hard. It was 5 whole years before I returned to the UK and when I finally got home the album was only on track nine.

    I saw an interview from Noel once, who said that his creativity came from being unemployed in an economically depressed North of England.
    And once he had rose to international stardom, he found it harder and harder to find inspiration.

      Rod Stewart said the same thing after those classic early solo albums and the stuff he did with the faces, he lost his mojo. When he became a megastar he stopped writing as he said, "What do I write about, my Champagne is cold and the Nanny is late picking up the kids.....?" Songs about personal jets and mansions don't resonate with ordinary people.

      @@carudesandstorm Maybe it's painful, (especially "All Around The World"), but at least it gave us "Don't Go Away", which can arguably, in my personal opinion, can be compared with "Wonderwall", and is as good ad that song. But with "All Around The World", like what Todd said, "they went from being inspired by The Beatles, to remotely copying them". They're basically just being a Beatles cover band by that point. Still, "All Around The World" is probably the biggest reason why the album's as painful as it is to listen to, being a NINE minute song! 9 minutes, of weird shit, while they're flying around the world, in what looks like a yellow submarine, yet ANOTHER Beatles reference... it never ends. The song's still going, in fact. If you listen hard enough, you can, in fact, STILL hear Liam and his nasally, sarcastic sounding na, na, na's, going on, to this day! You know what, let's just go back to "Don't Go Away". That song's only 4:48. Nearly 5 minutes, but only 4 minutes, 48 seconds. Sounds like a perfectly fine song length. Geez, you could start and raise a family by the time "All Around The World" is supposedly finished! What in the bloody hell were they thinking?

How do you even do that? Trying to copy one band, but then, you end up sounding like a different, 3rd band? What a bunch of wankers... and I'm not even British. I still enjoy "Don't Go Away", but they tried to be The Beatles, but they couldn't do that right? Well, at least if they wanted to be a successful band, choosing to copy The Beatles, isn't a bad idea, but if you're going to try and do what they did, you can't slouch. It has to be your best, otherwise, you're just ripping off their sound, and ripping off the Beatles worst albums, and worst songs, and it's definitely NOT Oasis's best. This is their worst album for a huge number of reasons. Which is a shame, but I could listen to "Don't Go Away", all day. Thanks for the info, dude.

It's so loud and as Noel said, "It's all chhhhhhh" but that's the one song on the album that should be that long. It uses that time to build up with solos and then throws the chorus back at you in the middle of the song. One of the best moments on the record.

      That's the main issue such with you whole album. Most of the songs, at their core, have brilliant elements. But, for some reason... *cough* cocaine *cough*... They were stretched well beyond what they should have been. Plus, the production and mixing bury and distort the melodies and hooks, by layering and layering overdubs. The vocal and guitar overdubs smother the songs themselves and make it so hard to hear that the hell is going on. If the songs had just been structured instead of allowing them to just repeat over and over, and if the mix had been stripped back to allow the songs to breath, I truly believe that this record could have been just as brilliant as their first two.

Some obviously can, mostly those who could while sober, if they got out of their own way. I do agree that Oasis were more cocaine users than heroin, chained to a mirror and a razor blade. I'm not sure if they used heroin at all. I don't think they did.
      But heroin's impact on the music business is legendary. Everyone from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and James Taylor, through Guns 'n' Roses, T-Rex, Aerosmith, and the RHCP, into Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Sound Garden, past Megadeth, Slipknot, and Pantera, had members who were addicted to heroin at one point. So many bands actually, I don't want to stop listing great bands, so I'm just going to stop, knowing there is plenty more. Also, Grateful Dead and Phish.
      And these are just rock based bands. The message would max out before I was 1/16 done, if I mentioned other genres like jazz. Although, remember kids, drugs aren't cool! I spent ten years of my life on that shit, so I'm in no way glorifying their use. As I say, I think there's guys could have done just as well, or even better, while sober if they had the confidence.

    "I think I've said something like this before, but if I were making the Oasis biopic, it would begin with a scene of Noel and Liam as kids, Liam feeling sad for being beaten up just because he acted like an asshole, Noel cheering him up by playing a new song he just wrote 'All around the world / gotta spread the word / you know it's gonna be okay.' 'You know Liam, one day we are going to be Rock and Roll stars, and we're going to turn this song into the biggest song ever. At several of the early shows they play stripped down versions of the song, at the recording of both Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory they're asked if they want to include the anthem. 'Not yet' says Noel. 'Not until we have the budget to make it fucking right.' The film culminates with a painstaking reconstruction of the recording process of All Around the World, done in black and white, cinema verité style, but also imitating the famous bell-making scene from Andrei Rublev (it goes without saying that my biopic is a 3 hour monster like Nixon or something). Final scene of film is a one-take of Noel, dejected, angry at Liam, coked out of his mind, feeling the dream has gone to shit, putting on the song, the masterpiece he dreamt about since he was a kid, and over 9 painfull [sic] minutes realizing just how bad it is, just how much he fucked it up. For the last couple of minutes he is bawling his eyes out, lying on the floor, snot coming out of his nose. Roll credits, soundtracked by Country House."

    Here in the UK, Oasis were very much hailed as The Beatles for a new generation. After all, both wrote huge anthemic rock songs and had equally huge personalities to match. The difference is that The Beatles had so many more strings to their bow when it came to songwriting: they could go on proggy tangents and fully embrace the esoteric. Oasis were exceptional at writing big no-nonsense rock songs but Be Here Now definitely exposed their shortcomings.
    Blur and Pulp were the other big Britpop bands and they've both shown themselves to be more varied in musicality than Oasis. That doesn't mean that Oasis are bad. Even in 2023, they're still a British institution and literal millions of people would be trying to get tickets if they reformed tomorrow. The real problem was that Oasis spawned an entire generation of British guitar bands who just... weren't very good. That probably contributed to rock's slide into irrelevance in modern mainstream music.

      I really feel Oasis could've done what Radiohead and Damon Albarn (creating the Gorillaz) did, and completely scrub their canvas.
      Damon Albarn and Radiohead both left the britpop era behind and became famous even more.
      And even though you can change location, worth dynamic, budgeting, you still can't change people, and the Gallagher brothers were coked up, completely done with each other and couldn't stand making music anymore.
      What they personally should've done was take a break, cool off, count their winnings, SPEND TIME APART, and decide if they wanted to keep doing this. And if they did, come back either together or separately with broader horizons to share with the world.

    I'm a huge Oasis fan (from the UK). You got this mostly spot on - the fact that they didnt really want to do an album, the lazy song writing, the cocaine fuelled excess, all correct. I'd never noticed about DYKWIM being a throw away line but, yep, it is. My only input would be that Stand By Me is a quality tune, you skipped over how good that is, plus the album could have been sooo much better with some of the single B sides swapped in - have you ever heard Stay Young for example? Why they thought Magic Pie was better than that I have no idea. BTW, fun fact - Noel was lazy songwriting and looking for a rhyme for "passer by" in a rhyming dictionary but his coked up brain misread "magpie" as "magic pie".

There was this great follow up to Morning Glory that was falling into place piece by piece but Noel just didn’t listen to anyone’s advice and insisted on using the material for B-Sides and as filler songs. That record is the follow up that could’ve been, and it’s tantalising to think of how it might have turned out had they stowed the tunes, taken a break and spent some time recording and polishing them.

In the UK so called post-britpop was good but much less exciting that britpop had been unless you were melancolic (coldplay) or intelectual existentialist (Radiohead) while Blur first got inspired by US indie (selftitled album) and later made an awesome melancolic psychedelic album (13).

    Melodically the album is actually very strong. It has more hooks than most bands manage to muster in a career. But it's massively overlong, overproduced and generally obnoxious. Oasis songs always had a fair bit of gibberish in them prior to this, but they managed to sell it artistically. Not here, the balance is off by too much. It's a shame, because there's a very good album in there with a different edit.

      They couldn't release the Masterplan as a third album because most songs were already released on singles. They wanted to be like the Beatles so badly they released top tier singles like Whatever/Its Good To Be Free/Half A World Away. But unlike the Beatles it came at the expense of running out of songs for their albums. They definitely had enough good songs for four classic albums. Not sure what they would have done for singles in that case though. Even if they just had live B sides noone would complain. Too bad I guess

    Coming from an avowed Oasis fan, I have to say I enjoyed this.
    - ‘Magic Pie’ is probably the worst Oasis song ever. It’s too long, it’s slow, turgid, takes forever to actually start, and when it does kick in, it shreds your eardrums to bits in a blitz of overedubs, all tied in a neat bow made of some of Noel’s worst lyrics. Noel always trod a very fine line between lyrics that were simplistic yet insightful; and just plain dumb. ‘Magic Pie’ is unfortunately in the latter camp.
    - The ‘Spinal Tap’ levels of dysfunction Todd refers to- bear in mind this album came out almost exactly a year after the Loch Lomond and Knebworth concerts that proved to be Oasis’ peak in popularity, Oasis eroded a lot of that goodwill by following Knebworth up mere weeks later with the infamous MTV Unplugged show where Liam cried off (not a total disaster, but sure as hell looked unprofessional) and then the infamous tour of the US were Liam didn’t show up the early shows, turned in poor performances when he did show up, before Noel had enough walked off the tour, causing the rest of it to be cancelled. So they kind of ‘on notice’ even before BHN came out, and even an album on a par with their first two wouldn’t necessarily have been a big seller there.
    - One of things I’m most annoyed at is Noel’s utter refusal to take any responsibility for the album’s shortcomings. When pressed on it, he falls back on the same old defence of ‘I don’t remember any of it, don’t know what happened’ and tries to pass it off as rock n roll excess taking its’ toll. To compare it to another follow up to a massive album by a British band- and one I see gets suggested for Trainwreckords quite a lot- Pink Floyd’s ‘The Final Cut’. It’s usually regarded as, at best, a step down in quality from ‘The Wall’ and an outright dud at worst. But TFC’s main songwriter Roger Waters- a man who can certainly give Noel a run in the Arrogant Musician stakes- never stops defending the album, the creative choices he made and is absolutely prepared to own that record’s standing for good or bad. I wish Noel would stop pretending the album didn’t exist and actually own his mistake.
