It gets off to a really great start, but it drags a lot towards the end.
I almost forgot this LP existed! While Bitter Sweet Symphony was an anthem for its time track and The Drugs Don't Work is a lovely track, it's biggest problem is that it drags on longer than intended, it's not very memorable and it's a little pretentious. That is a shame because they have the potential to be a British incarnation of R.E.M. (as in respect wise) and they could've crushed the somewhat shallow moralities of the Oasis crowd, instead it ended up as pretty Northern music that went nowhere after it's release. Seriously, what happened here?
Meh. Kinda boring.
Being a fan of The Rolling Stones and Oasis your gonna love this one as soon as 'Bitter Sweet' comes on I get a good Feeling.. this album defines my type of music fav tracks Lucky Man,Space and Time,Come on,Bitter Sweet Symphony
There were some pretty good records put out in 1997. I'm not really comfortable with the idea that this was second only to OK Computer.
listen to this album has been a great blessing to my soul, big big, should be in any serious music collection
My key tracks are Bitter Sweet Symphony, Catching the Butterfly, Neon Wilderness, This Time. Much better than any Oasis album I have ever heard.
Psychedelic gem
pretty cool.
