THE REVIEW
Good album. Nothing to do. All the works by Oasis, even if criticized to no end (even by Noel himself), have something to say.
“Be Here Now” is certainly not the best album by the Gallagher brothers, but that doesn't mean it's mediocre and has nothing to say. It has a simple and direct sound with all singable lyrics that you can listen to without too many problems and that make you spend an hour with some good music as the soundtrack.
It really seems like a CD to put in the car while driving who-knows-where and with who-knows-what thoughts in your head. In the end, you'll find yourself an hour away from home without realizing it and with a few tunes still spinning in your head.
Many believe that “Stand By Me” and “All Around The World” are the most successful songs on the album (and perhaps the excellent sales of the respective singles confirm it), but every time I listen to this CD (in the car, mind you) I find myself listening and relistening to “I Hope, I Think, I Know” and “Don’t Go Away”.
Calm songs, maybe not exceptional but they stay with you, whether you want it or not. Listen to them.

This is a great album: full of energy, rock in its purest form.
In my very personal opinion, this is the most beautiful song by Oasis.

Surely this is one of the worst CDs by Oasis, on the eve of its release there was great anticipation surrounding it, and it disappointed fans.
"Don’t Go Away" is a very, very beautiful and captivating piece as worthy as "Stand by Me" from the first two CDs.

The first hint of diarrhea was birthed with “Be Here Now”: a gonad-breaking dirge that lasts eleven tracks plus the ending of “All Around The World” as a hidden track.
You just feel like sticking a hand in Liam Gallagher’s mouth and ripping out his tonsils because of how disgusting his desperate housewife voice is.

An unmistakable style, chords, sounds, musicality, voices... expressed at their highest levels.
If you don’t own this LP, run immediately to the nearest record store, NOW!

Oasis seem to be a copy of themselves and seem unable to get up from the abyss into which they have fallen.
'All around the world' is the masterpiece of the album, with a driving rhythm and an almost worthy finale of 'Champagne Supernova'.
