Let's pretend that 1997's Be Here Now never occurred. The British press stooped to new lows proclaiming that album a third masterpiece, in order to keep their Oasis-phenomenon-fed circulations high. Now it's all shameless backtracking, with everyone (the band included) admitting that LP was an ego-infested dud. Trying to turn each cut into a "Hey Jude" coda-style epic, the Gallagher brothers dropped a bloated bomb, suffocating under the onerous weight of its self-importance. Externally, its fallout left a bad taste that totally thwarted the band's steamrolling momentum. Internally, the group fell to bits. Two of the four remaining founders, likable guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and bassist Paul McGuigan, quit weeks apart. Poof! Oddly, these calamities are exactly what the band needed as well as deserved. Staring at the precipice of collapse, leader Noel Gallagher has discovered a little humility, while parenthood has stuck a little sock in the mouth of his younger brother, Liam. Starting with its title (the same Sir Isaac Newton quote used by R.E.M. for their 1987 Document gem, "King of Birds"), which admits, again, that Noel pays fair homage to his heroes, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is Oasis' first album that allows some human doubt in place of the usual unbridled hubris. This new, fallible Oasis is laid naked on the two tracks Noel sings and the one Liam writes. The former's tellingly titled "Where Did It All Go Wrong?" and "Sunday Morning Call" sound like a bratty playground kid admitting his insecurities, full of soulful melodrama that serves the rumination instead of stifling it.Concurrently, Liam's "Little James" avows a sweetness for his new family that at least sounds sincere (who knows?). Far from the standard sentimental mush inspired by first-borns, this weary, grateful song sounds profoundly mortal: "I'm singing this song for you and your ma, and that's all," he trills with edge, and one imagines Patsi Kensit, him, and the bambino as kin, not tabloid forage! Besides that, there's the most belligerent Oasis song ever, the standout "I Can See a Liar" (even more cantankerous than Be Here Now's highlight, "My Big Mouth," with its submerged, distorted vocal, it's like Oasis doing Guided by Voices' worship of the early Who's power chords and smacking drums!). Two others, "Put Yer Money When Yer Mouth Is" (with its lyrical reference to the Doors and searing keyboard ? la Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man") and "Gas Panic!," spin gaudy, hazy chord patterns fed by big bass grooves. Noel's writing is no longer tight like the first two LPs, but the hooks are back, and hooks are what made this band important all along, despite all the inane bluster. As the previous year's B-sides LP, The Masterplan, reminded, Noel's penchant has not deserted him after all
