Oasis to release (at least) three more albums

The first single off Oasis' new album, "The Shock of the Lightning," will be out September 29 in the UK, meaning it will probably go to radio in the US in early September.

And they've reportedly signed a new three-album deal, meaning there should be at least two more after this next one. Idolator's got a nice, snarky wrap-up of Oasis' last three albums, with some YouTube clips.

I was an Oasis apologist during the fallow years at the turn of the millennium, and it was nice to see them turn things around with 2005's Don't Believe the Truth. Here's hoping this new one makes two in a row.
