With every rise, there must eventually come a fall. Oasis' came in the aftermath of *Be Here Now* and the death of Britpop, during a period in which Oasis lost nearly all that it once had. They lost their momentum, lost the two remaining non-Gallagher original members (Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan), ended their working relationship with Owen Morris, left Creation Records and, with the help of new producer Spike Stent (who'd previously worked with the Spice Girls, Madonna, and U2) changed their sound from the classic Oasis sound of the previous three albums into something much more akin to psychedelic rock. What came of it was an album which sounded very different to those that had come before, and which contained some of the most introspective and personal lyrics Noel has ever written.

Unlike most bands, the b-sides of the singles released by Oasis (especially through the first four albums) could have easily been on the albums. In fact, Oasis released an album of some of the more notable b-sides in 1998 called [The Masterplan](https://open.spotify.com/album/6tgQeTZ3893n3c3MvlPzi7). As Noel Gallagher once declared in an interview, “I don't write shit songs!” This is a good place to start, but it is recommended to hunt down the rest. In addition to the b-sides, be sure not to miss *Sad Song* and *Bonehead’s Bank Holiday*, which were originally included as extra tracks on *Definitely Maybe* (Japan) and *(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?* (UK vinyl only), respectively. Both are included and the remastered deluxe versions of these original albums as well.

At the same time, the remaining members of Oasis (Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock) decided to continue under a new name, Beady Eye. Beady Eye went on to release two albums, before disbanding in 2014 following a range of personal issues. In 2017, Liam Gallagher released his first solo album, to much critical acclaim.
