I agree that they have changed a little recently but not to any great extent. And by recently I mean very recently, as in Dig Out Your Soul. It's still an Oasis album, it still feels like every other Oasis album and its not exactly groundbreaking but it has a groove, its psychedelic, Andy Bell was given a little more responsbility which is always a good thing and whereas Oasis have typically been a band who have written songs on an electric or an acoustic guitar and the final product has never really developed any further than that this record has a heavier use of keyboards/mellotron/electronics etc. For a start I really don't think Oasis have ever produced another song that sounds like Falling Down. It just has more balls than the last 2 or 3 Oasis records combined.
