...incorporates different traditions: John Lennon's and Paul McCartney's. There are plenty of worse musicians to rob, and on several tracks Oasis proves that it still has a gift for towering, arena-friendly tunes. "I'm Outta Time" is rock balladry at its shameless best--with an emotional guitar lead and a sweeping, sing-along chorus: "If I am to go/ In my heart you grow." Good luck resisting it, even if there is a needlessly appended sample from Lennon's final radio interview. "Ain't Got Nothin'" takes the band out of its midtempo sweet spot with...

...more will I fall victim to your deception. I am determined to discover the sinister meaning behind your bizarre art rock semblance. The video transmission, unassumingly titled “Fresh Born,” begins with a small group of giddy Asian men pretending to play guitar and drums during some strange chanting. This is not the Deerhoof I’m familiar with, and I’m becoming very afraid. But wait, it’s a fake out! Soon a bearded mystery man arrives to break up the revelry, and the meat of this strange message...
