The fact Noel dished out instructions to remain completely sober throughout the recording of the next one could have even been as a direct result of Be Here Now.
However, I also think its a little harder and maybe even a little edgier in places, especially when compared to Morning Glory and I actually quite like it. I really dig Dont Go Away, Magic Pie, I Hope I Think I Know etc.

don't go away is one of my all time faves....
I'm no critic by any means but I love Oasis and really have never disliked anything they've done. some songs/albums i don't listen to as much as others because i have favorites that i crave to hear but i certainly do not dislike anything Oasis has ever done.
personally i feel (What's the Story) Morning Glory is the ONLY thing a lot of Americans know so I try to pimp other stuff if i can but it's hard.
Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Morning Glory are the only songs that our radio stations play (on very rare occasion) and they seem to always be played on "Flashback Weekends".
In the group I hang out with the most now...i.e. my bf's friends, i'm considered "different" for the music i like....even when it comes to Oasis.....*rolleyes* it can be maddening at times, i ususlly just pour another drink and forget that this is the tenth Jimmy Buffett or Toby Keith song I've heard tonight.....*gag me*
