Spin (p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'Waiting for the Rapture' sports a killer T. Rex trash-glam groove; and 'The Shock of Lightning' rides a hurtling krautrock beat. You won't be able to blast these jams loud enough." Spin (p.46) - Ranked #38 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "DIG injects a darker rhythmic urgency, plus a newfound, psych-swirling reflection." Entertainment Weekly (p.73) - "[T]he heftily rocking first single, 'The Shock of the Lightning,' and the airier, more psychedelic song 'Falling Down' are fab enough to have appeared on one of Oasis' terrific first two albums." Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Bag It Up' could be a sequel to the Fall's take on 'Mr Pharmacist' -- a ramshackle speedfreak racket..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.105) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'I'm Outta Time' is one of the record's two champagne moments, an exorbitantly arranged weepy in the style of Travis as produced by Jeff Lynne..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.64) - Ranked #50 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "A nasty, brutish rock album that saved Oasis's soul..." Blender (Magazine) (p.76) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he payoffs include the two best songs singer Liam Gallagher has yet written: the strident, balladic 'I'm Outta Time' and the snarling 'Ain't Got Nothin'." Clash (Magazine) (p.120) - "One of the biggest surprises on the album is the development of Liam Gallagher as songwriter....'I'm Outta Time' is PLASTIC ONO BAND era Lennon, with a sweetly sung chorus that displays Liam's vulnerable side." Clash (Magazine) (p.66) - Ranked #18 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "DIG OUT YOUR SOUL is the sound of a band finally cemented in its present state."
