Apparently, some people are on some serious ****....
Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory are masterpieces, i'm not going to even get started defending them, because i dont have to...the music speaks for itself. Spotty my ass.
Be here now is a good album, but heavily overproduced, each track is good, but gets repititive, "my big mouth" and "fade in-out" are my favorite tracks.
The Masterplan is an excellent collection of B-sides, although i could do without a track or two. Acquiesce and rocking chair are the standout tracks.
Standing on the shoulders of Giants was their weakest release, more of a transistion album, since the band faltered after the release of "Be here now." It turns out Noel really hates "be here now" as not one track has been played live in their latest tour.
I have heard Hindu Times, its a great song, although, it is a very simplistic song and they lyrics are anything but stellar. Still, a good tune to bop along too. As for sound quality, the mp3 i got was extremely compressed (its just plain loud).
