THE REVIEW
I'll start by making things clear: if you don't agree with me, feel free to do so. But don't excessively bother me. This is a great album: full of energy, rock in its purest form. For many, Be Here Now is the beginning of the end for Oasis, but not for me.
This CD is truly beautiful, even if not a milestone... The dances open with D'You Know What I Mean? and its 20 guitar overdubs (in my very personal opinion, this is the most beautiful song by Oasis), then it continues along the same brit rock path until Stand By Me, a slightly calmer track. Riding the wave, it reaches Fade In-Out, which elegantly drags on until the final explosion of a sharp solo. To conclude, I mention Don't Go Away, which is a classic ballad, and All Around The World, a piece clearly inspired by the Beatles. The album is a good mix of alternative and classic rock.
I believe that Be Here Now is an underrated album, and I'm convinced of that, then everyone will think in their own way... My evaluation is based on what the movement of which Oasis is a part has expressed, not on the milestones of music: so even if there are albums of much greater depth, for me a 4 is deserved.

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.

All the works by Oasis, even if criticized to no end (even by Noel himself), have something to say.
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.

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'.
