Limited Edition Japanese pressing of their third album, originally released in 1997, comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 12 tracks including 'All Around The World', 'D'You Know What I Mean' and 'Don't Go Away'. Sony. 2006.
First, I'm not quite sure what the last reviewer was talking about when he said a generation of fans hailed this as a masterpiece of some sort. Fans it may have, yet ne'er but a few have sung uncritical rhapsodies to it. Now, second, I can't say anything to anyone who's pondering purchasing BHN except you'll most likely either love it (with time) or hate it (some beans aren't magic after all). Nevertheless, I was frightened away from this album by the intensity of the negative reviews, and by the time I bought it I was already so critical of it that it never had a prayer. One day, at any rate, (always one day...), I put it on because I wanted to hear some Oasis I didn't know by heart, and it hit. I got it. This album became, we'll say, my cup of tea. Why? Benefits: Liam truly sings his a** off on this album. I mean song after song after song(and they are songs with a capital L) he lays his voice on the dicing board. The production is very solid--if you like Oasis that is--and don't let anyone dissuade you of that, though again it will take time to get a feel for the body of these tracks--like Magic Pie for instance, which I personally hated forever, but just all the sudden realized I loved it. This album is like that. In short, don't be misled by the brutality of some of these lacerations heaped upon the album; it's classic Oasis here, but with that sort of vibrating in place that keeps each album different than the last and exciting for us die hards. Costs: Of course, the songs are immense, mammoth, titanic jeremiads (in hindsight at least) to the waning of the Oasis empire--both long in running time and tall on brio. Then again, thats only a drawback if you loathe that sort of thing. I, personally, find it a truly singular aspect of this CD. It's like the odd-cousin of the other albums, and sticks out of the five either like a gold nuggett or a nasty splinter, depending on where you're coming from. Well, thats all. Love it or hate it, this album is a product of insanity, and for that it is worth your every penny.
