Users found this Standing on the Shoulder of Giants review helpful If another band brought out an album like this they would be praised, because it's Oasis the standards are higher. Couple this with the fact that it's 'trendy' to dislike anything Gallagher these days, then you've got yourself a critically poor album.
Again, morons listen to critics without giving an album a chance.
This album contains such good songs as 'f*ckin in the bushes', 'go let it out' and 'sunday morning call'.
Like Be Here Now, this album requires a few listens to gain full appreciation.
However after a near 3 year wait for new material it was a bit of a let down - with far too many experimental, psychedelic and electronic sounds.
Noel failed to realise that Oasis is a ROCK band and the fans so desperately wanted a ROCK album - so in that respect it WAS a let-down.
I like to look at the positives in life and there are certainly a few on this album.
In conclusion, this is Oasis at they're worst but guess what? It's still good. ...

Pro Reviews: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Since Noel Gallagher plays most of the parts on the album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants isn't really the debut of the new, postGuigsy/Bonehead lineup, but it is clearly the beginning of Oasis, Mark II. Such a grandiose statement may imply that it's a clear break from Oasis' past, yet that's hardly the case, since many signatures are still in place strummed acoustic guitars, big hooks, undeveloped lyrics, familiar rhymes, and a gigantic wall of sound. The arrangements are every bit as detailed as Be Here Now, but they're clearer and better focused, since Oasis' brains weren't clouded with excess and hubris. Ironically, this is also their most overtly druggy, psychedelic release to date Gallagher and Mark "Spike" Stent spent endless hours adding Mellotrons, swirling guitars, and vague dancefloor ideas borrowed from the Chemical Brothers and the Charlatans UK, while Noel's melodies invariably follow the minorkey patterns typical of '60s psychedelic pop. Yet for all of its heavy psychedelic influence, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is really a selfconsciously mature departure from the group's usual ebullience, a deliberately mellow, midtempo album spiked with hints of big beat and electronica to prove that they're with it. This may result in the most cohesive Oasis record since Definitely Maybe, but that cohesion has come at a price. Few songs are as bracing as Noel's best work from the first three albums; not even the rockers have the giddy rush or alluring sparkle of classic Oasis. Yes, this flows well, but it's the work of a selfconsciously older band and it's hard not to miss the hard rock, pure attitude, and gigantic hooks that made the group's reputation in the first place. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Well, I wouldn't call them kings of Britpop more than they are kings of the tabloid pool, but im impressed by their ongoing ability to follow one dream headstrong despite the critics. This album is excellent in the fact that it is armed with tabla features and sitar. "Who Feels Love?" is a catchy tune and highly reccomended for Alan White's magical adoption of the tabla. "Go Let it Out" is the same old same old, but it is a ballad that will reign on in our memories. Liam finally gets his own track in "Little James" which is alright, but it doesn't quite attack the emotions of the songs as much as the hysterical humor. The media underrates this album for all its worth, and the band deserves some slack. The only reason i would mark it down is cause theyve been ripping lyrics off the beatles for quite some time...... ...
