Pass me down the wine.......2006-10-20

Oasis have always be known for releasing singles with album quality B sides and this is no exception. Pass me down the wine deserved to be on the album, it is one of the best songs from the 'Don't believe the truth' era. It is also the best song Liam has written to date. He keeps getting better as a songwriter and has surprised a lot of people including myself. I always thought Oasis would fall apart without Noel but now they could easily survive on the songwriting of Liam, as well as Gem who wrote track 3, 'the quiet ones'. Not one of his best but a good little acoustic song which will definitely get played more than once in my stereo. Most bands put out B sides that are rubbish and would never get a second listen, but Oasis have once again delivered 2 more tracks that hold its own place in the Oasis catalogue. To all Oasis fans, I seriously recommend buying this single, even if you are only a fan of the 'Don't believe the truth album', you should buy it anyway.

The Importance of Being Brilliant.......2006-06-20

"The Importance of Being Idle" is the best song, bar none, on Don't Believe the Truth. It's Noel at his best, lyrically and vocally, with nice falsetto in the verses. "Idle" is a stew of "Wouldn't it Be Nice," "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" and "Alabama Song". I would have bought the entire DBTT disk for this song alone. It is one of the best songs ever written (or performed) by Noel.

"Pass Me Down the Wine" and "The Quiet Ones" are serviceable b-sides but they clearly did not deserve a spot on DBTT. "Pass Me Down the Wine" is a mid-tempo hard-strummed acoustic song with just a guitar feel not unlike "Mean Mr. Mustard." "The Quiet Ones" is...well...quiet; not one of Oasis's better ballads. Diehard Oasis fans will want these bonus tracks but they'll not be blown away by them.

"I can't get a life if my heart's not in it!!!".......2006-04-11

The second single from Oasis's critically acclaimed 2005 album Don't Believe The Truth is twice the charm.

The Importance Of Being Idle is a laid back- very laid back, if you know what I mean(!)- Noel song about laziness. The song is coated with a nice guitar hook sounding more like some surfer guitar rock tune, and the funniest Oasis lyrics to date- just watch the video for extra proof.

Idle was Oasis's second UK Number 1 hit single from Don't Believe The Truth, the first being Lyla. It's a cool summer song that is definitely one of the band's classics.

B+

Best Oasis single in years!.......2005-10-18

This is a top notch Oasis single, all the way around. The title track, the single "The Importance of Being Idle," is unlike anything Oasis has done before. I've heard many references to this being "Kinks" like, and I would agree. It's no blatant rip off, and is quite unique. Noel accels vocally, hitting some incredible falsetto here, and the lyrics and music are quite quirky all around. It's a new brand of Oasis, and I personally love it.

The first B side, is Liam's "Pass Me Down the Wine," which is by far and away the greatest song he's written to date, in my opinion. It's got a driving acoustic guitar to guide it along, and his lyrics and vocals here are as good as ever. This song fits in quite well with "The Importance..."

Track 3 is a simple, acoustic song, that can't be overlooked. "The Quiet Ones" would be a great addition to any acoustic performace Oasis does in the future, and I'd love to hear Noel do vocals on this track. Top notch stuff, and any TRUE blue Oasis fan must get this single. it's not to be missed!!!

No Video???.......2005-09-01

First gripe.....there was supposed to be a video the for single attached to this. The single (TIOBI) is probably the best song on their latest studio album, however, the two b-sides are dull. Liam's song is the better of the two. The over-production of the song saves it, since it sounds like Liam uses the same chord throughout the entire song.
