THE MUSIC ZONE ---------------------by M.S.C.
Now today, I thought I might instil some enthusiasm into the
mag, and play my Oasis stuff really really loudly while everyone
was typing their articles. For some reason, this didn't seem to aid
their creative skills and they promptly took out my tape and stamped on
it. Now usually, this would have bust the tape, but because Oasis are
well 'ard, it didn't (spot Molgrat's joke).
Now, for some strange reason, if you haven't heard of Oasis (not
likely I know, but it fills up the space), then here is a rough
low-down. Oasis appeared on the music scene a while back. But no-one
really took any notice of them until their Cigarettes & Alcohol single
was released in Alcohol Awareness Week. This was an absolutely #7More>>>
@1blinding single, with some searing vocals from the lead singer Liam
Gallagher.
His brother Noel Gallagher (Strangely enough) plays the guitar
and also does some lead vocals of his own. But not often 'cause he's not
as good as Liam. Although he's a nicer fella (But I didn't say that).
AAAANNNNNYYYYYWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Since I'm meant to be reviewing Oasis's latest album, I'll start right
away. Just after I've finished listening to Abba......shit.....I mean..
..doh bollocks.
To begin with I'll put in the tracks in order (To be boring)
1) Hello
2) Roll With It
3) Wonderwall
4) Don't Look Back In Anger #7More>>>@1
5) Hey Now !
6) Some Might Say
7) -- Instrumental --
8) Cast No Shadow
9) She's Electric
10) What's The Story? Morning Glory
11) -- Instrumental --
12) Champagne SuperNova
I'll do the tracks one-by-one shall I ? (Yes Mark, M.S.C.)
O.K Mark. (What d'you mean I talk to myself.......I don't do I ? Yes Mark
you do. Oh, alright then.
-- Hello -- (hello-Ed.)
Hello is a good classic rocky type twangy track. It starts off really
well, with a very quiet WonderWall intro. I think that they put this on
just so you turn the volume up high, to be deafened quite superbly by
a loud ( normally, on high volume it buggers your speakers up ) #7More>>>
@1bleep bleep and then the beginning of the Hello song. The song bounces
along very well with Liam telling you not to be so lonely by (and I quote)
" wiping the shit from your shoes "........ermmm.....thanks for that one
mate. The chorus is very deep, with them going on about life being made up
of wasted opportunities, and life being short because " the years are
falling about like the rain ". Very nice I must say.
UPPERS - EveryThing but the strange bits in the Lyrics.
DOWNERS - Have a guess.
Overall - 9/10
----- Roll with It ------
This has been on Top Of The Pops too many times so I won't bore you
with the details of it being quite good. #7More>>>@1
Uppers - Lots
Downers - Not A Lot ( say yes Paul )
Overall - 9/10
------ Wonderwall ------
Yes....Yes....We've all heard this one. It's very good, and loads
better than the Mike Flowers --I'm A Wanker and I'm O.K.-- version.
Uppers - The Lyrics (and the fact Noel (the songwriter) got a shag
off the girl he wrote it for))
Downers - I didn't get a shag for listening to it. (Oh Well)
(I think you're hanging round with Molgy too much Mark-Ed)
Overall - 9.5/10 ( 'cause I didn't get a shag )
#7More>>>
@1 --- Don't Look Back In Anger ---
I just love this song....it's really, really, really, really, really
( O.K. we get the Idea Mark, M.S.C. ) good, I was going to finish soon
honest. AAANNYYYWWAAAYYY. Where was I? Oh aye yeah. It's very good indeed.
It starts off with some robbed chords off John Lennon's intro to
Imagine, a good start at least then. It then goes straight into the
lyrics as soon as the guitar kicks in, and has an absolutely
heart - rending chorus.
UPPERS - It's really good
DOWNERS - It's....ermmm......ermmmm.....written by a Manc.
Overall - 9.5/10 (see above) #7More>>>@1
-- Hey Now --
Rather average actually which is a shame. Just kidding, it's as good
as the rest of them.
Uppers - The tune, and the Lyrics
Downers - Liam's got long (ish) hair
Overall - 9/10 (oh piss off, it's not that good)
-- Some Might Say --
I'll just give this 9/10 shall I.? No! What d'you mean No? Oh go on
then. It's quite good as well.
-- Instrumental --
I'm not going to review an instrumental, so I'll just say it's a
good little song full of.....ermmm....eerrrmmmm. Instruments. #7More>>>
-- Cast No SHadow --
On the Lyrics it only takes up two verses but it goes on for at
least 2.5 minutes. It's all about a man who lost his pride. And so lost
his soul, hence the " Cast no Shadow " when he faced the sun. Makes sense
doesn't it?
Overall - 8/10 (for the weird lyrics)
-- She's electric --
This is a well strange song. But still very very good. It's all about
a girl (who's electric) and her family ( who's eccentric - spot the
rhyme ). It's goes on but has a great tune and is well worth tapping your
feet (or any other extremity) to.
Overall - 9/10 #7More>>>@1
-- What's the Story ? Morning Glory --
Right I'm bored so I'll just give it 9/10
---- Instrumental ----
See the first one
-- Champagne SuperNova --
This is a very long song. It goes on for about seven minutes, but
it doesn't seem like it because it's so good. It's about something or
other (I can't quit catch the word apart from the chorus) and the
tune's amazing. (don't go into too much detail will you Mark-Ed)
Overall - 10/10 ( Cause I'm nice.....and an Oasis fan )
