'''''Standing on the Shoulder of Giants''''' is the fourth studio album by English rock band ], released on 28 February 2000. It was the band's first album under their new record label ].

The album marked a significant change from the ] scene to a modern psychedelic record complete with ]s, ], ], ], synthesisers and backward guitars, resulting in an album more experimental with ] and heavy ] influences. Songs such as "]", the ]-influenced "]", and the progressive "Gas Panic!" departed from the band's earlier style. This album also marked the first time that lead singer ] contributed on songwriting ("Little James"), and this process continued for their subsequent albums, instead of relying solely on ] songwriting as they had for the first three albums. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*The album's title was taken from the words of Sir ]: "If I can see further than anyone else, it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". ] saw the quote on the side of a £2 coin while in a pub and liked it so much he thought it would be a suitable name for Oasis' new album. He then wrote the name on the side of a cigarette packet while drunk. When he awoke in the morning, he realised he had written "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants — Album Title". <ref> Oasisnet. </ref> | |||
* Due to the departure of ] and ] from the band while the album was still in production, their parts had to be re-recorded, for legal reasons.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} Thus, the album only features the Gallagher brothers and ]. The sleeve of the album also features them. | |||
* The first track, "Fuckin' in the Bushes", is featured on the soundtrack for the film '']''. | |||
* In the April 2006 issue of ], the album was the only Oasis record to feature in a countdown of the "50 worst albums of all time". It was placed at number 46 and described as "the low point of their ] years", despite the fact that the album had been favourably reviewed in the magazine at its time of release and featured in the magazine's "50 Best Albums of 2000" list. In response to the ''Q'' feature, ] has said, "Even though it wasn't our finest hour, it's a good album born through tough times. I worked harder on that album than anything before and anything since." | |||
* A notable B-Side was "Lets All Make Believe". This song was on the ] single and is said to be one of the bands finest songs. ] declared it the greatest ever "lost" track in the February 2007 issue and said that if it had been on the album it would have carried "an extra star" on the review. Q gave this album 4 Stars back in 2000, meaning an extra star would be 5 stars. So with Lets All Make Believe on the album, according to Q magazine's logic, SOTSOG would have been a 5 star classic. | |||
"Gas Panic!" was inspired by the ]s ] was having as he quit drugs in advance of the birth of his daughter ]. "'Gas Panic!' was written while I was just lying in bed sweating, the usual five or six o'clock in the morning, thinking, f—ing hell, you know, is it all worth it?" he said.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dwyer |first=Michael |date=2000-02-25 |title=Don't Look Back in Anger |page=EG-15 |work=]}}</ref> | |||
==Demos== | |||
A bootleg of ] sessions recorded for this album was leaked onto the internet in January 2000. Most of these songs were recorded by Noel Gallagher with the help of a couple of friends in his home studio at Supernova Heights and at Oasis' own Wheeler End Studios complex. All of the songs, apart from "Little James", were sung by Noel. | |||
] chose not to sell the album, objecting to "Fuckin' in the Bushes" having profanity in the title.<ref>{{cite news|title=Wal-Mart bans new Oasis album|url=http://www.chartattack.com:80/damn/2000/02/0402.cfm|publisher=]|date=4 February 2000|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030627023542/http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2000/02/0402.cfm|access-date=21 January 2019|archive-date=27 June 2003|url-status=usurped}}</ref> | |||
The track listing of the demo bootleg is: | |||
# "Carry Us All" | |||
# "Who Feels Love?" | |||
# "Fuckin' in the Bushes" | |||
# "Little James" | |||
# "Gas Panic! | |||
# "Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is" | |||

==Album cover== | |||
At the time of the leak, four songs ("Carry Us All", "Revolution Song", "Just Getting Older" and "Let There Be Love") were not scheduled for release on either the album or as ] on the new single "Go Let It Out". These songs were also completely undocumented, apart from "Revolution Song", which had been mentioned by author Paolo Hewitt in his 1999 book ''Forever the People — Six Months on the Road with Oasis''. As such, these four songs had made-up titles based on commonly-repeated phrases mentioned in the songs. Whilst "Carry Us All" and "Just Getting Older" were correctly guessed, the other two tracks were given titles which, in time, would prove to be incorrect. "Revolution Song" was given the title "Solve My Mystery" and "Let There Be Love" was given the title "It's a Crime". "Let There Be Love" was released on '']''. Because Noel mentioned in a ], ] interview with '']'' magazine that "Revolution Song" had been demoed — but not released because ] had recently released a similar sounding song — it can be assumed that these titles are correct. | |||

To create the cover photo, the photographer captured the same frame every half an hour in 18 hours during the whole day's course; the photos were digitally ] into the final picture. All of the singles released from this album contained artwork that was based on the album artwork; the shot used for "]" can be seen above one of the buildings at the front, which depicts five men playing football. This shot was taken from the roof of a football stadium, and the footballers from the car park were edited onto the rooftop on the final cover. | |||
This album was the first Oasis artwork not to be created by ] at Microdot. | |||

The album received mixed reviews from critics.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the fourth studio album by English rock band Oasis, released on 28 February 2000. It was the band's first album under their new record label Big Brother Recordings. In the year preceding the album's release, Alan McGee closed Creation Records, and Oasis had lost two founding members (Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan) and hired new producer Mark "Spike" Stent to replace Owen Morris.
The album marked a significant change from the Britpop scene to a modern psychedelic record complete with drum loops, samples, electric sitar, Mellotron, synthesisers and backward guitars, resulting in an album more experimental with electronica and heavy psychedelic rock influences. Songs such as "Go Let It Out", the Indian-influenced "Who Feels Love?", and the progressive "Gas Panic!" departed from the band's earlier style. This album also marked the first time that lead singer Liam Gallagher contributed on songwriting ("Little James"), and this process continued for their subsequent albums, instead of relying solely on Noel Gallagher's songwriting as they had for the first three albums.
It is the 16th-fastest-selling album in UK chart history, selling over 310,000 copies in its first week. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants has been certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry and has sold around 208,000 copies in the US.
Background
The album's title misquotes an expression by Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". Noel Gallagher saw the quote on the edge of a £2 coin while in a pub, and liked it so much he thought it would be a suitable name for Oasis' new album. He then wrote the name on the side of a cigarette packet while drunk, and upon awakening in the morning, he realised he had written "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants". He had also accidentally written "a bum title" on the packet instead of "album title".
Noel decided to drop the equipment used in the three previous albums and instead buy "loads of really weird pedals, old guitars, and small amps" as the lack of a deadline on the album allowed him to "take quite a few days just messing around" and experiment with new musical landscapes. Noel was forced to play nearly all the instruments on the album, aided by some additional musicians; due to the departure of two founding band members (guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy) while the album was still being recorded, their parts were re-recorded for legal reasons. The album features Noel and Liam Gallagher alongside drummer Alan White, who are also the only ones depicted on the sleeve of the album. Guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell (Bonehead's and Guigsy replacement respectively) would be officially included in the band shortly after the album's release.
Songs
The album spawned four singles, released between February and July 2000.
The lead track, "Fuckin' in the Bushes", features no vocals, but does include sampled quotes from Message to Love, a documentary film of the Isle of Wight Festival 1970. The festival's MC, Rikki Farr, is heard berating the crowd: "We put this festival on, you bastards, with a lot of love! We worked for one year for you pigs! And you wanna break our walls down and you wanna destroy it? Well you go to hell!" Two other festival observers in the film are also heard.
"Gas Panic!" was inspired by the panic attacks Noel Gallagher was having as he quit drugs in advance of the birth of his daughter Anaïs. "'Gas Panic!' was written while I was just lying in bed sweating, the usual five or six o'clock in the morning, thinking, f—ing hell, you know, is it all worth it?" he said.
Walmart chose not to sell the album, objecting to "Fuckin' in the Bushes" having profanity in the title.
Album cover
The album's artwork features the photo of the Manhattan skyline taken from the rooftop of 500 Fifth Avenue (5th Ave/W 42nd St). Some famous buildings are visible including the Empire State Building in the foreground and the former World Trade Center in the background. To create the cover photo, the photographer captured the same frame every half an hour in 18 hours during the whole day's course; the photos were digitally composited into the final picture. All of the singles released from this album contained artwork that was based on the album artwork; the shot used for "Go Let It Out" can be seen above one of the buildings at the front, which depicts five men playing football. This shot was taken from the roof of a football stadium, and the footballers from the car park were edited onto the rooftop on the final cover.
This album was the first Oasis artwork not to be created by Brian Cannon at Microdot.

The album received mixed reviews from critics. The B-side to "Go Let It Out", "Let's All Make Believe", was featured in Q's top 500 lost tracks, who also said that if "Let's All Make Believe" were on the album, "it probably would have carried the album to another star." However, Q later included the record at number 46 in their list of the 50 worst albums ever made.
Despite its lukewarm critical reception, both Liam and Noel Gallagher have praised certain aspects of the record. During a radio interview with Gary Crowley in 2002 Liam said "Some people reckon the album is shit, but I think it's a great album ... it's just a bit different", whilst Noel Gallagher has stated that he regards "Go Let It Out" as "up there with some of the best things that I've done." He also stated in a 2005 interview with Rock Profiles that he thinks "Fuckin' in the Bushes", "Go Let It Out", "Gas Panic!", and "Where Did It All Go Wrong?" are "real pieces of music". Noel has also praised the sounds and production of the record.
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants spent 29 weeks on the UK album chart, the fewest for any Oasis studio album. It was the 26th biggest selling album of 2000 in the UK.
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 in the US, selling about 55,000 units in its first week, but sales slumped its second week and fell to No. 84 with a 64% sales drop. The album received a huge sales hike following the VH1 airing of the group's Behind the Music in April 2000, jumping from No. 194 to No. 113 on the Billboard 200 the week following the episode's airing. In March 2000, the IFPI certified Oasis for selling one million units of the album in Europe.
Legacy
In a 2011 interview with Grantland, Noel disowned the album, stating that it should have never been made. He recalled that he "had no reason or desire to make music" and "just wrote songs for the sake of making an album". He also clarified that adding Archer and Bell allowed the band to split songwriting duties, as he felt he "could keep writing 20 songs every two years".
"Fuckin' in the Bushes" was used in the soundtrack for Guy Ritchie's 2000 crime movie classic Snatch starring Brad Pitt.
The British professional wrestler Nigel McGuinness has also used the song as his entrance theme in Ring of Honor and All Elite Wrestling
