Oasis - Heathen Chemistry [2002]
Heathen Chemistry is a cross between Morning Glory and Giants. It contains an abundance of signature Oasis riffs and lots of melodic passages. It’s immediately accesible from the opening track (”The Hindu Times”). And it even features a beautiful ballad in the form of “She is Love” — one of the prettiest, most non-cynical songs I’ve heard from the Gallaghers in a long time.
Sure, Oasis sounds reminiscent of the Beatles — but not lyrically, nor in the chord progressions of their songs. (I think the Beatles actually used more chords.) If anything, they sounds like the Beatles in their Britishness and attitude. Frankly, there’s not a song on Heathen Chemistry I could put my finger on and say, “Yeah, that’s the Beatles.” So, let’s lay off the Beatles comparisons, for Pete’s sake!
Speaking of the chord progressions, they’re big, big big on Heathen Chemistry. That trademark wall of sound that I liked so much on Morning Glory is all over Heathen Chemistry. (Check out “Hung in a Bad Place,” track three.)
