4.0 out of 5 stars
Oasis are back on the upswing, March 3, 2000
This review is from: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants [Clean Version] (Audio CD)
If you are going to buy an oasis cd definately get this one. It has the rockers that were present on Definately Maybe, the ballads that were on Whats The Story Morning Glory, and the production that was on Be Here Now. It is definately better then Be Here Now was, although that one turned out some hits of its own. Gas Panic, Where Did It All Go Wrong, and Roll It Over are the highlights of the cd. They all show classic Oasis material and the maturing of Noel. Little James is amazing for Liam. Go Let It Out and Who Feels Love are also good. But if Oasis want to get mainstream attention again they have to release Where Did It All Go Wrong as a single. It is amazing. Definately worth the money! Go get it now!

I can't stop listening to this album!, April 17, 2000
This review is from: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants [Clean Version] (Audio CD)
I'm posting my review on the "clean version" section since there doesn't seem to be enough here.. (click on the explicit one for loads of reviews) This album is incredible; I loved it right away. Go outside and get yourself a copy, IMMEDIATELY. If Be Here Now rubbed you the wrong way (I disagree with the critics, Be Here Now was rockin) SOTSOG won't. Its got the rocking pit stuff (I Can See a Liar, Pur Yer Money Where Your Mouth Is) the anthemic sing-alongs (Go Let it Out, Roll it Over) and the heartfelt Noelesque songs, which are the true jewels of the album (Who feels love?, Gas Panic!, WDIAGW?, and Sunday Morning Call). Noel's lyrics on this album also surpass any of the ones before- listen carefully to the Gas Panic lyrics; they're pure genius. The songs will take you on an incredible journey through Noel's mind- it seems as if he's exploring many personal issues he's had to deal with after becoming so huge- (an increasing paranoia along with an anxiety of growing older) that is obvious in his songs. It makes the album that much more appealing and endearing to any listener who has any knowledge of what Oasis is all about. However, I do miss the long intros/musical interludes and some of the `earthiness' that was present in WTS(MG)? and Be Here Now. An incredible song like Gas Panic deserves more `air time' to set its mood. I wonder if it's because the pop-inclined Mark Stent polished up and chopped off too much of the ruggedness of the album. Nonetheless, this album is enormously addictive and absolutely fantastic! (And, if you can see them, Oasis are even better live. They play a super tight set and Liam's voice is flawless!)

It's right on up there., June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants [Clean Version] (Audio CD)
With new bandmembers and a new sound to boot, the new album seems to stand out from the others, almost as if it was standing on the shoulders of giants. With more of a focus on ballads than rock tunes (I Can See A Liar and Put Your Money Where Yer Mouth Is are the only real rock sounds on here), and the definite trips outside of the boundaries of current pop music (Who Feels Love? and Roll It Over). But it's that new found love for balladry that puts this CD over the top. Ranging from Go Let It Out (in a sense) through Where Did It All Go Wrong, Sunday Morning Call, and Roll It Over. People who were fans of Whats The Story (Morning Glory) will fall in love with Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants.
