Believe The Truth

Big surprise. Oasis have not managed the return to form they seek. OK no surprise there, but in fact they've done much much worse – Lyla, the new Oasis single (for I have acquired it) is awful. It sounds a little like their cover of Street Fightin' Man which appeared on the b-side of All Around the World, only with added quantities of self-parody, and worse, self-repetition (note lyrics about 'catching me if i fall' – I Hope, I Think, I Know off Be Here Now all over again). If we're making comparisons with recent lead singles, and we are, it's not a patch on Go Let it Out or The Hindu Times, both of which I quite like. Cue the comments about not matching their Definitely Maybe days.
