1. New HFB album -- I knew it! :)
  2. Originally posted by iTim:Not picked up the What's The Story remaster yet (or Definitely Maybe I must add) so I thought I'd have a dig around the internet to see what people are saying regarding quality. It's not particularly positive, but through my searching I stumbled across this interesting e-mail conversation between a member of the forum at SteveHoffman.tv and Owen Morris, who worked on the first three original albums:

    So, it would seem from this that the remasters/reissues/whatever are only worth getting for the bonus material. Still a well held belief (and the dynamic range scores kind of prove this) that the SACD WTS is the best to get.

    The single for Don't Look Back In Anger is the loudest, most ear-shattering music I own. Absolutely deafening.

    Wow, that is some truly sincere confessions there... I'm surprised he's spoken about some of the members' lack of skills so openly. I mean, Oasis have never been or pretended to be Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, but I woulnd't have bet on their engineer to badmouth about their technical mediocrity I agree that they sound too loud at times, some of their songs are the "sound wall" to the n-th power - but that's just the way their music was meant to be listened and played, as Owen says, so...
  3. I was initially underwhelmed too. But I'm beginning to finding it pretty addictive
  4. Re: date, yes, a relatively long way off. Album was finished back in July - he'll be sitting on it for nearly a year!
  5. Single's out in November though. I like it.
  6. They tell me you've touched the face of god
    At the sound of a rope cracking on your neck
    They tell me you'd never give it up
    Like the song that was soul singing in your head

    So honey please don't let go
    Or you'll fall in to the dead of night
    So honey please don't let go
    You've barely learnt to fly
    Cos their gonna point you up at the sky

    The more that you want it
    The more that you need it
    I know that you'll be by my side
    In the heat of the moment
    When the thunder and lightning comes
    I know that you'll be by my side

    That loving man ain't no rolling stone
    At the sound of the drums I'm gonna set you free
    I talked to him on the telephone
    These are the words that he gave to me

    So honey please don't let go
    Or you'll fall in to the dead of night
    So honey please don't let go
    You've barely learnt to fly
    Cos their gonna point you up at the sky

    The more that you want it
    The more that you need it
    I know that you'll be by my side
    In the heat of the moment
    When the thunder and lightning comes
    I know that you'll be by my side x 3
