Shock and Awe!

Riding in on an opening reminiscent of 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' it's clear that Oasis have returned, and are on fighting form, on new single 'The Shock Of the Lightning'.
The future Clash cover stars (issue in the shops October 2nd kids) belts out of the gates with a punchy, mildly psychedelic tune that admirably manages to take in the riff from the Pistols' 'Pretty Vacant' as it's coda.
It's quite a combo, especially when bookending Liam's latest ruminations on life, spat out in his trademark eeelongaated delivery. But, hey, if you want weighty lyrical discourses go stick on your Smiths records! It's Oasis, and they deliver what they promise in spades, this time around with a slight hallucinogenic edge that bodes well for album number seven, 'Dig Out Your Soul', out in October.
Apparently written and recorded on the hoof, 'The Shock of the Lightning' retains that vital energy showcasing the band at their punky, throwaway best.

Really like the song. I have
Really like the song. I have vague recollections of another Oasis video, on MTV, showing a couple going to the moon? (with creatures having Bart Simpson-style beer), to the bottom of the sea, etc., in the style of old French illustrations. What the heck was that?

Great song. It's brilliant
Great song. It's brilliant how the sound of? Liam's voice fits the sound of the background guitar. Another masterpiece, from the British Country...
