Episode #22: The album where Oasis LOST IT? Don't Believe the Truth review

Don't Believe the Truth was released back in 2005. It was a rapidly-changing time for music, and we'd seen the arrival of The Strokes, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys. Had this left Oasis looking a bit, dare we say, our of date?
This was an album where Noel Gallagher wrote just five of the 11 songs, with Liam Gallagher, Andy Bell and Gem Archer all chipping in. Was that the reason for it being disjointed?
In this episode of Mad For It, Adam, Josh and Tom talk through the highlights and lowlights from the album - and sentence each song to either Heaven or Hell.
Track listing:
1. Turn Up the Sun
2. Mucky Fingers
3. Lyla
4. Love Like a Bomb
5. The Importance of Being Idle
6. The Meaning of Soul
7. Guess God Thinks I'm Abel
8. Part of the Queue
9. Keep the Dream Alive
10. A Bell Will Ring
11. Let There Be Love

Episode #21: We craft the PERFECT 1 hour Oasis set (to the MINUTE!)

Liam Gallagher was asked whether the upcoming Oasis gigs would last an hour after internet speculation mounted. He wrote back: "Just under, 59 mins 59 secs".
In this episode of Mad For It, Josh, Tom and Adam speculate on whether the Gallagher brothers are simply toying with fans ahead of their much-anticipated reunion tour. And, to prove a point, we try to create the perfect 59 minute Oasis gig setlist.
What songs would make the cut for you? Leave your suggestions in the comments below. Plus, we talk about other artists who are famous for short concerts and ask whether any bands who sang famous TV theme tunes are bigger than the programmes themselves.

Episode #20: Life after Oasis: were Liam and Noel's solo careers DOOMED to fail?

Can you leave a rock group and go on to greater things? It has been tried many times but few have succeeded.

Episode #19: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants at 25: The most CHAOTIC Oasis album?

The creation of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was a mess. As Oasis tried to move away from the Britpop sound, the band fractured and guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy departed during the recording process, leaving Noel, Liam and Alan White (he's alright) to try and rescue the album.
In this episode of Mad For It, Adam, Josh and Tom see whether the band were able to save the album and whether the tracks are any good. What are your favourite tracks? Let us know in the comments section below. Plus, we discuss the swathes of Oasis tickets that are being cancelled by ticket websites and yet another reunion. This time it's Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne. Did you get tickets? No we didn't either...

Episode #17: Was Liam Gallagher's Oasis songwriting any good?

Liam Gallagher wrote just 13 Oasis songs (plus another one with Gem Archer) - but were they actually any good?
In this bumper episode of Mad For It, Tom, Adam and Josh rank Liam's songs from worst to best and ask how he compares to big brother Noel. We all know Songbird, but how do songs like Born on a Different Cloud, Pass Me Down the Wine and Boy with the Blues stack up? Let us know in the comments.
Elsewhere, we discuss yet another musical reunion as Nirvana reunited for a charity benefit concert to raise funds for those affected by the Los Angeles fires.
