Album Review

Oasis – The Shock Of The Lightning

• 27th Sep 2008

Oasis are back with their new single ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ and it’s a classic Oasis track. Even though the band aren’t renowned for deviating very far from their usual style- it doesn’t matter, they’ve got a sound that works and Liam’s got a unique voice. So what we have here is around four minutes of classic Oasis rock ‘n’ roll.

Keeping with the tradition of great Oasis B-sides is a chemical Brothers Remix of ‘Falling Down’, which is just as good as an earlier collaboration ‘Setting Sun’. They probably won’t win any new fans with this single, but Oasis have more than proved themselves, they’ve been knocking out great tunes for well over a decade.

With the new album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ released on 6 October and the forthcoming arena tour I think we can safely say that Oasis are back.
