Was that by any chance Saint Morrissey by Mark Simpson? In that book he says sumat about Oasis managed to commit the then unachievable feat of becoming their own tribute band with Be Here Now Great book T'was indeed. Also, I prefer Be Here Now to Morning Glory. Wonderwall makes me feel ill, the radio killed it. You can get sick of some of the tunes on Morning Glory but I still cite it is a far, far, far superior record to Be Here Now - though the best moments of Be Here Now do match the best moments of Morning Glory...its just theres a lot of rubbish too. What you make of Saint Morrissey? Great read I reckon, Mark Simpson is just as literate as Morrissey himself, you probably have to be to write about him, but the level of depth to it and things you wouldnt think is superior |

Agreed, if The Masterplan counts as an album like....now there's a debate creating comment! I remember at the time when it came out Noel said that fans in the UK shouldn't buy it because it was originally a compilation put together for fans in Japan or somewhere who weren't able to listen to the b-sides (not sure why, but this was before the time of MP3 file sharing, the internet and Itunes etc) and it was the record company who had decided to release it over here to cash in on the bands popularity. So make of that what you will - I would say that if it DOES count as an album then it comes in second behind DM but ahead of WTSMG... agreed with the person who commented about Wonderwall... ditto Don't Look Back In Anger! |

I don't think its possible for Oasis to write songs that appeared on the first 3-4 albums (DM, WTSMG, Masterplan, BHN) because they had already been written by Noel before the band "made it" so to speak. They was written with anger and by a younger man desperate to find his way off the dole etc. Noel's not the same bloke anymore, and he's obviously older - I imagine its impossible to write the same kinds of songs now in his current situation where he lives in his mansion with his millions of pounds in the bank etc etc.

What you make of Saint Morrissey? Great read I reckon, Mark Simpson is just as literate as Morrissey himself, you probably have to be to write about him, but the level of depth to it and things you wouldnt think is superior It's a brilliant book, a real fan biography. I loved his style of writing, I was completely absorbed, and you could tell Mr. Simpson meant every word he said. Be Here Now wise, I think what I love about the album is that it's not perfect. It seems to me exactly the sort of album that teenage Mancunians with guitars should be making. Also, I think it's the repetivity in the the songs that makes them really welcoming, and easy to lose yourself in. Or maybe that's just me.  |

I'm tempted to read the rest of Mark Simpsons books, they're mostly on homosexuality, just because I enjoyed so much his writing style. You knew he was a complete mozzer enthusiast, phrases and sentances he used were dotted with snippets of Morrissey lyrics. He's on most documentaries about The Smiths, seems a proper sound guy even on documentaries like. |
