I thought the same when I read it yesterday, absolutely cracked up when I saw the headshot.
Also, they make some good points but I found the writer referring to the Union Jack as 'the butchers apron' a bit tiresome (and I'm the child of Irish republicans).
But the whole socially regressive angle was bang on and I like Oasis, despite being more of a Cure and Manic Street Preachers kinda guy like the author.

"Lyrically, too, they’re dismal: the promisingly mischievous Elsa/Alka-Seltzer rhyme of debut single Supersonic soon gave way to dull platitudes that might as well have been written by AI. But the problem is the music. Oasis don’t do fast songs. Noel plays his guitar as if he’s scared it will break, and Oasis’s funkless, sexless plod is always carefully pitched below the velocity at which fluid dynamics dictate that you might spill your lager. Is there anything more useless than a rock band that doesn’t rock?"
