Dig Out Your Soul by Oasis
Dig Out Your Soul is an album by Oasis, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Shock Of The Lightning”, on 15 lists with a best position of #17.
Dig Out Your Soul, the seventh studio album by Oasis, came out on Big Brother Recordings on 6 October 2008, and it turned out to be their last. Dave Sardy, who had handled most of Don't Believe the Truth, produced the sessions at Abbey Road between August and December 2007, and the band leaned into a heavier, woozier sound, all thick riffs and psychedelic smear. Noel Gallagher still wrote most of it, but Liam brought three songs and Gem Archer and Andy Bell got one apiece, so it plays like a gang record rather than a one-man show.
"The Shock of the Lightning" was the first single, the reviews were warm and it sold. Then it all came apart: in August 2009, a backstage row between the brothers at Rock en Seine outside Paris scuttled the rest of the tour, and Noel quit. Even the 2024 reunion brought no new songs.
