"Oasis' third album from 1997 was always more circus than substance. The bloated and indulgent remaster only reinforces it as one of the most agonizing listening experiences in pop music"

"Maybe it's a record that too accurately reflects the underlying chaos and instability of the era it was made in, and spends too much of its running time dealing in difficult truths rather than the more alluring and uplifting fictions its predecessors often dealt in. Yet it remains, for these reasons, by far and away the best Oasis album, and one of the more compelling and involving records of the decade it was made in"

"In the end, Be Here Now is endlessly fascinating because of everything but the music itself. By 2000, Oasis were covering Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" on tour. Fitting - they burned out on Be Here Now, and faded away, a spent force, thereafter"
