Title: 4-1/2 stars -- The return of the fighting brothers
Review: Oasis has been quiet for a while now, but now they come back at us with Don't Believe the Truth. I'm not sure I understand that title, though, unless the truth to them is that this album is horrible or something. Actually, that's what some people seem to think, but I personally think it's pretty damn good.I think I'll ignore the inevitable comparisons to other bands (I understand the Beatles ones, but I don't get the Pearl Jam ones) and just say that there are plenty of good songs to find on here. "Lyla" was fine to release as a single, but I find myself looking to the other songs instead. Introspective tales like "The Meaning of Soul" and "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" are sure to impress, as does "Let There Be Love", a successful we-are-the-world song.This album was released rather quietly, and it's not doing very well on the charts, so I don't know if enough people even know this album exists. But believe the truth: Oasis is back.Anthony Rupert
