Great album, raw and refined at the same time, an almost perfect review.

Isn't there class (just to name one) in "The Importance of Being Idle"? Do you really believe that, dear Emanuele? Or are you speaking from hearsay? It seems to me like a piece that oozes class from every pore... I don't know what you've heard.

Wonderful review and absolutely fantastic album, spine-tingling from the first to the last second.

A good album, nothing extraordinary, divided between an intense and sustained first half, with some strokes of genius, and a rather anonymous and drowsy second half.

once again a highly enjoyable album, showcasing the band's great talent, always up to the task. Among the best in the English scene, versatile like few others.

"a beautiful album[..], intense, alive, polychrome, perfectly balanced but without the stale taste of routine and the profession". "Great songs [...], damn effective[..], fragrant and graceful melodies and visionary openings".
I thought it was right to share the authoritative opinion of Mucchio Selvaggio, which gives Caesar what belongs to Caesar.. we must acknowledge the Oasis for having written a beautiful album, light-years away from improbable electronic temptations and useless self-indulgent experimentation.. there is a crazy need for good songs, and here there are remarkable ones, as highlighted by the review in LosingToday.. we must give credit to the Gallaghers for raising their heads after a mediocre album. Let’s leave aside bitter judgments, clichés, accusations (never documented) of alleged plagiarism... balance and distancing are needed, along with attentive and prolonged listening, not coarse and approximate, to truly enjoy this product.

STOP! An example of an objective and balanced review from someone who doesn't crazily love Oasis but assesses their work calmly. Taken from "La repubblica delle donne" dated June 25, 2005: "You approach an Oasis album with caution. The boys are not charming, and the new album always seems to be some sort of event. But not even a heart of stone could say that there aren't beautiful things within it, songs like mines of gems from which a Beatles touch, a guitar crossover, or a melodic leap that leaves you hanging in mid-air could leap out at any moment. Now Ringo Starr's son is on drums, and this seems to confirm that the model is set: the higher the better if you're an English pop group. But more than any critical note, the fact remains: once the album is over, you find yourself humming it and thinking back on it, chasing certain choruses. Excellent."

The Baestles are untouchable, let's not joke around.

Ah, Elisa better than Oasis is an immediate arrest.

All the same pieces? All the same albums? Oh really, which ones would those be?
