Deep into their musical careers, the Gallagher brothers and their cohorts continue to release some of the best rock `n' roll around, the last hard men of a dying breed of true rock stars. Far from just disposable pop musicians, Oasis songs have evolved into more complex, sometimes messy numbers that often involve atmospherics, at times experimentation and a more shared aura that reflects the songwriting vision of the entire group. "Dig Out Your Soul" is, surprisingly, one of the best, most heartfelt efforts ever from Oasis, an amazing thing to admit given the quality of this band's past stellar work.
Instead of dickering around with a left-field choice for a radio single, the guys smartly released the incredible "The Shock of the Lightning," a tune that encompasses everything great about Oasis. The tune is a driving, catchy hard-rocker where Liam sounds in top form and a steady organ tunefully and deftly balances out the hail of noise. At one point, Zak Starkey's rip-roaring drums receive the limelight alongside the mesmerizing, droning organ, and it almost seems like Oasis have reinvented themselves in one fell swoop.
Interestingly, along with the plethora of chunky guitar riffs, Liam's somewhat less cloying vocals and Noel's stately guitar solos, the drum work on "Dig Out Your Soul" is some of the most prominent-in-the-mix and impressive I've ever heard from Oasis. Additionally, there's some well-placed piano and keyboard work on tunes like "The Turning" and "Soldier On" that give the band a depth of maturity and musical craftsmanship it may not always get credit for.
Two of the Noel-sung songs are, as is often the case, swanky bar-room stompers that perfectly fit his old soul, while "Falling Down" is a beautiful track that perfectly complements his voice. And brother Liam continues to evolve into an equally good songwriter himself, adept at writing airy, head-in-the-cloud ballads ("I'm Outta Time"), raw rockers in the vain of Stone Temple Pilots ("Ain't Got Nothin'") and echo-filled, philosophical closers ("Soldier On"). What's surprising is the phenomenal contributions from Oasis's other half, Gem and Andy Bell. With its cool Middle Eastern flair, Gem's "To Be Where There's Life" is one of the smoothest, most soulful and dance-worthy tracks ever released by Oasis, while Bell's "The Nature of Reality" offers an irresistibly dirty riff and stop-start formula that grows on you.
If there's a reason I'm not giving this CD a five-star rating, I can't quite figure out what it is. Surprisingly, it may be two of the tracks that Noel sings on which feel a bit clunky to me ("Waiting for the Rapture" and "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady"), but that's nitpicking. The bottom line is that this is the best new rock `n' roll CD I've heard in quite some time, and if you dig Oasis, then it's time to "Dig Out Your Soul."
