I understand the Oasis one a little better, as they are a more recent band, and Whatever People Say I am, Thats What I am Not has a similar quality to the first two Oasis albums, in that its hard to believe a band can burst onto the scene already sounding this polished and this distinct, and drop an album that is so solid front to back. Even now the young Alex Turner's lyrics are genuinely impressive in how vivid a vision of the People's Republic of South Yorkshire they can create.

rather, they spent their school days listening to roots manuva, braintax and other stuff on low-life, not to mention lyricist lounge compilations and rawkus records cuts like pharaoh monch. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. hence the razor-sharp lyricism that fuels songs like a certain romance, a witty observation of small-town life where theres only music so that theres new ringtones and where going out could sometimes mean having a pool cue wrapped around your head.
