By the Numbers
Dig Out Your Soul closes the band on the democratic note they reached late in their career: Noel Gallagher wrote most of it, but Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell each contribute songs, so the composer column again spreads across the lineup. Noel sings three leads and Liam the rest, a balance of writing and singing that the band never had in their early, Noel-only years.
Dig Out Your Soul is the seventh and final studio album by Oasis, released in October 2008 before the band's acrimonious split in 2009. Heavier and more psychedelic than its predecessor, it draws on late-period Beatles and krautrock influences, with dense, hypnotic arrangements produced by Dave Sardy. The songwriting stays democratic, with Noel Gallagher writing the bulk and Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell each contributing tracks. Noel sings several leads while Liam handles the rest, and Zak Starkey drums on what would be his last album with the band. It debuted at number one in the UK and was certified double platinum, an assured closing statement for one of Britain's biggest bands.
