Description:

Includes an enhanced bonus CD.
Oasis`s sixth studio album, DON`T BELIEVE THE TRUTH, finds the Gallagher brothers back on solid sonic ground. After 2002`s HEATHEN CHEMISTRY, the quintessential Britpop band began working with electronica act Death in Vegas, but the pairing proved uneasy, and Oasis opted for a return to its signature sound. Here the group`s `60s-inspired sound is exemplified by the record`s first single, "Lyla," which sets the tone, as both frontman Liam Gallagher and songwriter/guitarist Noel Gallagher lend vocals to the chiming, surging Beatlesque track. (The band`s Beatles fixation hits a new level here with Ringo Starr`s son, Zak Starkey, drumming on a number of songs.) Other highlights of DON`T BELIEVE THE TRUTH include the stomping opener, "Turn Up the Sun," and the urgent, brooding "Part of the Queue." (Noel`s vocal turn on the latter is particularly impressive, and gives his troublemaking younger sibling a run for his money.) Although it`s tough to top the one-two punch of Oasis`s initial pair of albums, this record proves that the lads can still turn out potent, swaggering, and energetic rock.
