The Magic Number single was recently described as "A song The Beatles would of wished they had written"

[MK James]

 

Was that in the NME or The Star? I can't imagine Macca thinking, if only that was on Rubber Soul...

[Electric ~soul~]

Haha! Fking quality, JJ!!

Just downloaded it.

Whoever came out with that quote is having a fking laugh, and has obviously never heard a Beatles album in their whole miserable life.

Sounds a bit like the Delgados, I thought. Bland.

[Zagreus]

The Delgados - bland!!??? yer 'avin' a laff!!! :-)

[Electric ~soul~]

The band sounded like the Delgados

 

The song was bland.

 

I would need to hear a bit more of the Delgados to decide whether the group, on the whole, were bland or not!

[Zagreus]

The Magic Numbers sound as much like the Delgados as Oasis sound like the Beatles!!! Maybe because I loved the Delgadoes I'm not very objective here. I suppose the Delgadoes have male/female vocals, but they don't really do jingley-jangley guitar stuff like that Magic Numbers track. I do like that Magic Numbers choon though .....

[Electric ~soul~]

It really reminded me of a song called All You Need Is Hate by the Delgados from a couple of years ago.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

That Magic Numbers song is ace!

Leave it alone <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

[Electric ~soul~]

It's bland, mate.

[Electric ~soul~]

...and a waste of 69p.

 

At risk of sounding like a Carter gimp, Jazzy has the post of the week there!!

[SteveP]

I thought the magic numbers song and whilst ok, it didn't do much for me.

 

As for the Delgados, they did a song called 'American Trilogy' which I quite liked, but nothing much since then.

Actually, that's pretty much spot on.

To call it bland makes it sound too interesting.

[SteveP]

Oh heard 'Don't Believe The Truth', for the first time I actually would class it as good, but not great, original or particularly inspiring.

 

Heard the new coldplay effort, Radiohead light, with nods to U2 incredibly bland, average.

 

The new White Stripes one was a bit better would class it as good - on an even keel with Don't Believe The Truth.

[SteveP]

By 'for the first time' I meant since What's The Story? It is an Oasis album I actually want to listen to again!

[Electric ~soul~]

In that case you should also listen to Heathen Chemistry again. That is also 'good'.

 

Actually, I very much consider this new album to be Heathen Chemistry Pt.2.

[YELLOW]

It's better than Heathen Chemistry in my honest opinion. Far less weaker tracks and there's no songs on there that I want to skip on.

Have heard most of X&Y as well. Would certainly say more than a few nods to U2.

[Chubbhead EFM]

I like the new oasis album, but i'm sure i'm not alone when i say that the best tracks by miles have been writen by Liam. I think its time for noely to pass the baton!best song: Guess God Thinks I'm Able.

[YELLOW]

Actually think that is one of the weaker songs on the album although it is growing on me now.

 

Best song on the album? Has to be Let There Be Love. A simple but beautifully constructed song and one of Liam's most heartfelt vocals in years.

 

Saying that Andy Bell's two contributions to the album, Turn Up the Sun and Keep The Dream Alive are absolute belters!!
