The boys in Oasis really crafted something special with this album, showcasing a dynamic range that goes from massive rock anthems to raw, introspective acoustic tracks, to heartfelt love ballads. After the success of their two previous chart-topping albums, this follow-up does a great job of holding its own, offering a musically rich and satisfying experience that stands up to its predecessors.

Lyrically, this album shines with its straightforward approach, diving into themes of love, drugs, and depression. There's an honesty in the lyrics that's compelling, almost cutting through the noise with their directness. The vocals from the Gallagher brothers are generally well-balanced, although there are moments where the vocals feel buried under the music, detracting from their impact in a few spots.

The guitar work is solid but not overly flashy; it's simple, effective, and often pushed lower in the mix to allow other elements to shine through. The rhythm section is where things get a bit tricky—while the drumming in the more intense, heavier tracks gets somewhat lost in the mix, it’s the more laid-back songs where the drumming really comes alive. But for me, the standout instrument on this album is the bass. It’s vibrant and really adds depth to the overall sound, bringing a lot of color to the music.

Despite the occasional misstep—like a cringe-worthy moment involving unnecessary clapping in one track, which totally breaks the mood—the creative energy within the band seems to be in full force. This album is a testament to Oasis’ ability to maintain their momentum and chemistry as a band, delivering a highly enjoyable record that’ll resonate with fans of their earlier work while offering something fresh to new listeners.
