That's totally the softie, 2005 version of Oasis' "better than Jesus Christ," "f***ing bigger than the Beatles."

Im glad that they are ambitious. Im sure it is possible a band could be as good as The Beatles or U2. But better than Mozart? They should really listen to Marriage of Figaro or Cosi Fan Tutte as examples. Only Schubert, since Mozart, has written such beautiful vocal music.
