Oasis – The Masterplan

Description

It’s often the way of rock & roll–the accidental stuff you don’t sweat over often turns out to be better than the supposedly generation-defining monolith you rupture your life to expel. So it was with Oasis and their third album, Be Here Now–soaked with sweat, it left Noel and Liam purple-faced with effort and stank like old egg sandwiches in a sock. Meanwhile The Masterplan–b-sides and live tracks–came out a year later and effortlessly reminded everyone why they’d liked the hairy brothers in the first place.
