"Heathen Chemistry" is the fifth studio album by the iconic English rock band Oasis, released in the summer of 2002. The album marks a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, showcasing a more experimental and introspective sound while retaining their signature anthemic rock style. According to Noel Gallagher, the album's title was inspired by a phrase on a Polo candy wrapper he found in Ibiza—"the Society of Heathen Chemists"—a whimsical origin that contrasts with the album's ambitious musical direction. Coincidentally, it was released in the same year as David Bowie's "Heathen," though the two are unrelated.
