[edit] This is certainly one of their best

Because I'm such a great fan of this album and George Harrison solo stuff, I certainly think that this is their best album, definitely (no, "maybe" ;) and certainly one of my favourites. Painbearer 15:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

It's in their top 6 for sure. This ties with Be Here Now for me as thier most frustrating album, coz you know it could've been amazing. There's little glimmers of brilliance like "Fuckin' in the Bushes" and "Roll it Over". "Gas Panic!" and "Where Did It All Go Wrong" are spot on lyrically, but a bit dull sonically, and "Who Feels Love?" and "Go Let It Out" could have been epic with a bit more work and "I Can See a Liar" and "Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is" which Noel admits are crap and needed more work before they would make a decent B-side. Some of the b-sides, by the way, are brilliant (well, one - "Let's All Make Believe"). This is underproduced. Be Here Now was overproduced. If they had spent more time on both, like they have with Don't Believe the Truth, they could have been great. Manc fuckers.--Crestville 17:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Minor edit to Trivia section explained

Removed the following bullet point: "The album is completely out of print in Australia and no longer available at all, as has been the case for a few years. Whether or not it will be made available again in the future is unknown." Of course the album is available in Australia. Jack Garfield 23:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
