Second best Oasis album ever

Oasis haven't produced such a consistent album in over a decade. Their best album to date is still 'Morning Glory' from 1995. Since then they have produced several inconsistent albums that always had a bunch of great songs but did not hold together as complete albums. 'Heathen Chemistry' and 'Be Here Now' are my favourite examples. Now, after more than a decade, Oasis have come up with an album almost as good as 'Morning Glory'.

Oasis are very consistent on this album, there's almost no filler and the music is focused (unlike some of their previous forays in psychedelia). What prevents this album from being their best is the lack of a killer single(s). There isn't any 'Wonderwall' or 'Do You Know What I Mean' here to knock you off your feet. The songs are well written and well constructed so they grow better with each listening but nothing grabs you up front. That's the only quibble I have with this album, which is a completely satisfying listen. This is the album Oasis fans have been waiting a decade for.
