The Hindu Times

A Great Comeback Single with a wonderful B-side...

The Hindu Times was a great comeback single for Oasis - it's rocky, it's catchy, it's gritty, it has a great vocal, a great riff, and great lyrics.

Just Getting Older has been knocking around the internet in demo form for years, and it's nice for it to finally get an airing. It is a lovely acoustic song; hardly rock 'n' roll, but inherently Noel Gallagher nonetheless.

Great B-side, shame about the A-side.......

I can't believe the other reviews about it, when someone talks about Noel's lead solo really kicking in....C'MON if you think that's a solo I really do have pity for you're musical influences.

I'm going to be very unpopular !!

Hindu times meets "same size feet"(stereophonics)i have read the other reviews and must disagree with everything they say apart from the "idler's dream" comments definitely a classic but as for hindu times this is total rubbish and yet again the commercial side of oasi...  Read full review »
