What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

OASIS "standing on the shoulders of giants" cd,2000.

the fourth album from Noel and Laim Gallagher...
the best word to describe this one IMO is "crap!"
not much happening here, they lost their mojo after "whats the story morning glory" album,had just about given up on them after hearing this album and time has not changed my opinion much except "where did it all go wrong?",which i used to detest, is now my favourite track here, taking over from the Laim penned ode to his son "little james".
little else worth mentioning here other than after "be here now" album and disasterous US tour of 98-99, all members quit the band including both Laim and Noel...time healed several wounds and Noel and Liam were left to complete this one on their own with the help of Alan White on drums. pretty much a transitional period for the Gallaghers after the debarcle of Be Here Now wondering where to go to next...thus the self questioning track "where did it all go wrong?".
either way, not a very good example of the quality of the writing abilities of Noel Gallagher.
this album reached #1 in the UK, failed to chart almost everywhere else, also scored a UK #1 hit with "go let it out" and a couple of other top five hits with "who feels love?" and "sunday morning call"....none of which deserved the positions they got IMO!
