Dig Out Your Soul (Reprise) Oasis's seventh studio album. ****Dig Out Your Soul never ventures into waters that haven't already been treaded. There's no problem with that. Many artists try the same things twice (or more) and many fail to make it any more interesting than the first time. Oasis is able to, as the tracks on Dig Out Your Soul are fairly monotonous, but in a good way. They end the same way they start, usually with progressive drones. Rarely do the songs build to gargantuan force, rarely do they shift radically halfway through. Instead, they start and end the same way with an almost drone feel. “Falling Down” may be one of the best songs they’ve done in years, with an underlying organ piece overlapped by Chris Sharrock’s rollicking drum performance. Same goes for “The Turning,” with its sonic background wails and gritty guitar. A job well done by experienced veterans.

What I like about them in there later career is they are still undeniably Oasis. They have a similar sound to that when they started and they haven't radically changed, but it's still different.
Definitely an album to be noted - I did a post about it here:
