4.0 excellent | BeatlesandOasis | July 10th 15 | Very underrated album. How can an album with Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Songbird, and Little By Little be considered bad?

1.5 very poor | MaggieG | September 9th 14 | Heathen Chemistry is the low point of Oasis' career and the one that fans declare to be their biggest failure. I don't normally follow popular opinion in music but I do agree with everybody else that this is the band's worst. The songs all feel lazy with little effort put into them and even the singles feel mundane (though The Hindu Times did initially grab me at first). A very depressing album considering how great this band can be.

1.0 awful | SteveBack | February 6th 13 | This only gets a 1 because a lower mark is off Sputnik's scale. Three words: "Force of Nature". Just listen to it. Or try to, at least. Here's a taster: "For smoking all my staaaaaaaaaaash!/And burning all my caaaaaaaaaaaaaash!" Yep. I thought so too. Sums the album up. It's fair to say the musical legacy of the Gallagher twits is a rather messy one.

2.0 poor | TommyCap | October 20th 07 | Most of the songs here wouldn't even qualify for Morning Glory's b-sides. The album plods along with no sense of direction. So, is there anything here worth downloading, at least? Yes. "The Hindu Times" is by far the best song here and remains proof that Oasis still retain at least a SMIDGE of genius they used to have. "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is admittedly cheesy, but flows nicely. And "Songbird" is the second-best song here.

2.0 poor | morrissey EMERITUS | June 25th 06 | "The Hindu Times" was a great lead single, and there are odd gems tucked deep within the album like "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" and "Little by Little". But other than that, the album is as disappointing as Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. From the time of Heathen Chemistry's release straight through to early 2005, I had completely written Oasis off as a band with no chance of returning to their past glory. Fortunately Don't Believe the Truth redeemed them, and while it wasn't a perfect album it was a step in the right direction. But Heathen Chemistry hasn't improve over the years. Perhaps download a few select tracks or wait for them to appear on a greatest hits compilation, but stay away from the full album.
