Social criticism in Oasis songs

Up in the Sky was apparently about people in power and the wealthy elite, and how disconnected they were from the needs of the working class. Go Let It Out also seems to make a similar point in the line "Is it any wonder why princes and kings...". And Listen Up might as well, especially in the line "Day by day there's a man in a suit...".

Are there really political comments in these songs, or am I seeing things? Regarding Noel Gallagher's solo career, there's also the song "Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks".

This Noel album is excellent, there isn't a bad song in it

Honestly, for me it's much better than Don't Believe The Truth and Dig Out Your Soul.

What do you think?

How can I make real friends in my situation?

Just to give some context: I'm 16 years old, I am shy and insecure and I'm in my second year of high school. I'm in a class with 40 people, where 35 are women and the few men besides me are gay (meaning it's quite difficult for me to socialize here). At school, I even talk to the small groups formed in the classroom, but I want to make real friends, to have friends to go out with and stuff, but I just can't deepen those friendships. I even tried to approach a group of 3 girls who seemed super receptive and friendly to me, but they shut down when I tried (or was that just my imagination? I don't know). What do you guys think? Honestly, I'm desperate because they say adolescence is the best time of your life and I feel like I'm missing out on it.

"Let's All Make Believe" is a masterpiece

I just discovered this song, and man... it's fucking perfect. Why the hell did Noel leave this off the album and include songs like "I Can See a Liar" instead? If this song had been on the album, I'm sure it would have been one of Oasis's biggest hits, holy crap. This song is a wasted gem.

If Megadeth wrote 'TERRITORIAL PISSINGS'

Did you see that? It turned out great. I just think Dave Mustaine would probably sing "never met a wise woman, if so, it's a man" instead of "never met a wise man, if so, it's a woman" lol, but anyway...

Rust in Peace is almost perfect.

Sabe, quando avalio um álbum, nunca dou 10/10 porque acho que, para algo merecer um 10, tudo tem que ser perfeito, e nada é realmente perfeito.

Mas, honestamente, Rust in Peace, do Megadeth, é o mais próximo de um 10 de todos os álbuns que já ouvi.

E o pior é: Megadeth nem é minha banda de metal favorita, nem mesmo minha banda de rock favorita em geral.

And I listen to literally all kinds of rock.

I listened to Load and Reload recently, and...

I was very prejudiced against these albums because of the hate they receive from fans. But I listened to them, and honestly, I liked both of them. The hate they receive is more due to the change in style than to the quality itself. The only "problem" is that I felt most of the songs were too similar, and I think James' voice lacked a bit of energy. My two favorite songs were King Nothing and The Memory Remains. What do you think of this album? Personally... I liked it more than Kill 'Em All.

I'm an atheist and I have a big question.

Religious people, I’m an atheist. I have a question. I’ll try to be as respectful as possible. Why would an infinitely loving God punish a sincere, honest, and morally upright person with eternal hell simply because that person doesn’t believe in Him? Please don’t answer with “If you’re an atheist, why do you want to enter God’s kingdom?” because belief is not always a matter of choice. For example, I would actually love to believe in God, but I don’t, because I simply can’t and I haven’t been convinced yet that something exists. For instance, if someone told me, “Believe in Batman’s existence and you’ll feel happier and more comfortable,” I wouldn’t suddenly start believing in Batman, because I know he doesn’t exist (and no, I’m not comparing belief in God to belief in Batman. Please don't misunderstand me). So belief isn’t something I can simply choose. If I forced myself to become Christian right now, it would be dishonest, and I would just be deceiving myself. Besides that, a perfect God would probably know that a world like the one we live in would naturally give many people reasons to doubt and question beliefs, which would mean punishing people with genuinely good intentions. So if He loves us and wants to save us, why choose so much ambiguity? In any case, I think the idea of a God who punishes people for what they believe makes God seem more like a flawed and human being than a truly omnipotent, loving being who sees beyond what humans can.
