By the Numbers
Don't Believe the Truth is the most evenly shared album in Oasis's catalog: Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell all contribute songs, so the composer column spreads across four band members rather than resting on Noel alone. Noel sings several leads and the brothers duet on 'Let There Be Love,' making both the writing and the vocals more collaborative than at any earlier point.
Don't Believe the Truth is the sixth studio album by Oasis, released in May 2005 and widely regarded as a late-career return to form. It is the band's most democratic album, with songwriting spread across Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell, and the first to feature drummer Zak Starkey. Lean and confident at under 43 minutes, it draws on 1960s rock influences and produced the number-one single 'Lyla' and the chart-topping 'The Importance of Being Idle.' Noel sings lead on several tracks while Liam takes the rest, and the brothers duet on 'Let There Be Love.' Certified three-times platinum in the UK, it re-established Oasis as a major creative force after a difficult patch.
