The Latest Album

　　ReviewOasis, a band from Manchester, is at the so-called zenith* of their career and has been praised as the best band in the world. I wouldn’t exactly agree with that assessment. I almost forgot the existence of the band until I saw their new album in a disc shop.Unfortunately, it’s hard to find outstanding tracks on the CD for average listeners like me. The nonsensical* opener, The Hindu Times, suggests to me that their endeavor* is nothing but a hybrid* of a group of disappointing songs. The task of the moody* ballad*, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, seems to be to attact softies*, but it proved a failure. We can’t talk about Oasis’ music without talking about the Beatles. Oasis is obviously influenced by the famous band. To tell you the truth, Oasis doesn’t seem to be good student, or even a smart one, because they can do nothing except repeat the familiar melodies which have been popular since the 1960s. Songbird and All in the Mind are perfect examples of this.Actually I don’t wanna go too far because many youths idolize Oasis. I also don’t wanna complain that I wasted money for purchasing the CD. But if you see it in a shop someday, just walk away! Don’t hesitate in making good your escape.
