 OASIS — BE HERE NOW (Creation)         
 Some things are worth waiting for.     
                                        
 Not my first thought, admittedly, as I 
 rose from the dead at six to maSj sure 
 I got my copy. Mind you, I hahn't heard
 it then — not in its entirety anyway.  
                                        
 You'vj gotta hand it to the boy Moil as
 he gently persuades The Beatles to     
 wandjt up the path of early 70s rock   
 for a sound that's distinctly...Oasis. 
                                        
 Let's not forget "our kid", switching  
 from wildman to choirboy at the drop of
 a hat to realisj big bruv's dream. The 
 boys are back — big time.

 OASIS — BE HERE NOW (Creation)         
                                        
 1) D'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? You all know
 this one. The song that dared to invade
 Puff Daddy's No 1 spot — for a whole   
 week! Helicopters, morse code, throaty 
 vocals and Beatles refs. A grower.     
 2) MY BIG MOUTH Liam uses his to full  
 effect over a wall of classic rock     
 guitars. Sit back, the party's begun.  
 3) MAGIC PIE Moil gets his oar in to   
 "have mz say" in a masterful strumalong
 featuring yet more morse code!?!       
 4) STAND BY ME Rj-inter Liam and hail  
 the "new Wondjrwall". Sung like an     
 angel and bearing more than a passing  
 resemblance to Married With Children.

 5) I HOPE, I THINS, I KNOW The only    
 weak point on an othjrwisj excellent   
 album. All seems a bit too forced and  
 strained and, in a collection of three-
 hour epics, ONLY four minutes long.    
 6) THE GIRL IN THE DIRTY SHIRT Liam    
 manages to sound like Lennon, McCartney
 AND Tilbrook in a pub-rock piano       
 classic with a distinctly comical edge.
 7) FADE IN-OUT Johnny Depp is recruited
 on slide guitar and it sounds as if he 
 brought ZZ Top with him. Wouldn't sound
 amiss in a Western, just before the    
 high-noon shoot-out. Pick of the bunch.

 8) DON'T GO AWAY Liam has "the time of 
 my life" during an awesome vocal       
 performance on a tearful, touching     
 ballad designed to relax the soul.     
 9) BE HERE NOW You know the people that
 whistle every time they hear Dock Of   
 The Bay? Wait till this comes on the   
 pub jukebox!                           
 10) ALL AROUND THE WORLD Hey Jude for  
 the 90s, all nine minutes of it. The   
 song to end 1,000 gigs.."Nah Nah Nah.."
 11) IT'S GETTING BETTER, MAN! Guitar-  
 fuelled rock classic song of hope.     
 12) AATW (REPRISE) Fairytale ending.
