Oasis - ‘Falling Down’ Music Video Review
February 8, 2009 by Dave Parrack
I regard Oasis as more of an albums band than a singles band. They’ve had some fantastic success with singles, and I’m sure people who love Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova while hating the rest of the band’s output will disagree with me. But their albums are generally where it’s at.
Which makes reviewing a new Oasis single a tricky thing to do. Especially when the song works much better as part of the Dig Out Your Soul album than it does on its own.
Oasis’ new single, the third from Dig Out Your Soul, is Falling Down, a Noel-sung slice of indie that doesn’t quite have the power of previous releases, The Shock Of The Lightning and I’m Outta Time.

Oasis’ New Album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Track Listing & Artwork - ‘Falling Down’ Leaked
July 14, 2008 by Dave Parrack
I have a love and hate relationship with Oasis. I love the music, or the bulk of it at least, but hate some of the attitude that comes from the band, with Liam Gallagher being the particular pain in the arse. Although, having said that, he seems to have been very quiet and subdued of late.
He could soon be back on his high horse, offending all and sundry, and being his usual surly self however, as the band prepare to release new album, Dig Out Your Soul. In advance of its October 7th release date, the full track listing, and cover artwork has been revealed.
I’m quite excited about the new album, as their last one, Don’t Believe The Truth, was a real return to form, and a brilliant album in its own right. Whether this, their seventh studio album, lives up to the last, or goes back to the relative failures of Be Here Now, and Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, remains to be seen.
Every Oasis album has had some stand out tracks though, and a few brilliant singles, so even if the album ends up being a critically-panned dud, we can at least look forward to a couple of hits.
