(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Not sure why I haven’t been listening to Oasis constantly for the past several years but we move

Not bad, every song sounded the same. Okay for background music for work or driving.

"(What's The Story) Morning Glory" é um álbum verdadeiramente icônico, com uma estrutura impecável que se desenvolve de forma envolvente do começo ao fim. As letras são profundamente poéticas e incrivelmente bem escritas, capturando emoções complexas e universais. A música que as acompanha é igualmente perfeita, com arranjos que parecem ser feitos sob medida para cada faixa, criando uma harmonia imbatível entre palavras e melodia. Este é, sem dúvida, o álbum que catapultou o Oasis para o status de banda global, e o fez com muita razão. É uma obra-prima atemporal

Godverdomme Godverdegodver Wonderwall WAAROM Ok, ik probeer me hierover heen te zetten, is de rest van het album dan misschien wel heel goed? Ik ga eigenlijk gewoon niet zo goed op de zanger van Oasis. Hij valt voor mij in het rijtje zeikerige zangers die ik niet zo goed vind, op het punt dat er karaoke versies van Wonderwall zijn geweest die ik bijna beter vind. Mijn theorie waarom het zo'n bizar populair nummer is om te coveren is dan ook dat mensen het origineel horen en denken "Ik kan dit beter". De gedachte is zeker door mijn hoofd geschoten nu net. Alles bij elkaar; ik ben geen fan hiervan. Het is vrij gezapige popmuziek. en dan ook nog eens met een matige zanger. FAVO: Dont look back in anger, Champagne Supernova

Exceptional.

Not entirely my thing, but I can see the appeal - and clearly deserves its place on this list

Some big hits

Recognizable 90’s rock album

I'd like to focus this review around a single moment which I think sums up this album perfectly: "Don't Look Back in Anger" opening with what is, essentially, just the piano riff from John Lennon's "Imagine". Oasis were hardly the first (or last) band to be influenced by, or even directly lift from, the work of a Beatle or the combined Beatles. however, what troubled me about this introduction to "Don't Look Back in Anger" was that it felt to me as though Oasis were giving up the game. this is an element that contemporary reviews of this record really went after, and for good reason. it's one thing to pay homage to or write in the vein of one's influences (something Billy Joel has basically made an entire career out of), but it's another to bite them this directly. as many critics and musicologists have noted, "Don't Look Back in Anger" is far from the only example of such biting to be found here! this biting also serves to cover up the complete lack of ideas on display in Oasis' songwriting and production. I suppose this is pleasant enough while it's on; I wasn't actively offended by any of these 12 tracks, and a few of them are pretty familiar to me at this point thanks to the radio and the Rock Band games. but, once again, I run into the same problem I had with Devil Without a Cause: all of the sound and fury signifies nothing. these are attempts at loud, anthemic rock songs (right down to the string arrangements!), but they all feel completely hollow. not all rock music has to be about something, but it should at least be somewhat surprising! instead, I'm getting hit with this bricked out, mushy mixes and Liam Gallagher's caterwauling. that one Glassjaw song must've been written about his brother, who has less distinct songwriting qualities in his entire body than John Lennon had in his big toe. light 4/10.

Could have used a little more tambourine. Short of 3 of the songs having been played into absolute obscurity, this album boasts some bold pop-rock flair. It is not something that I think needs to be listened to in full, rather the magnitude of the singles far out shadows the work of the album, but regardless it is a masterclass in the genre.

So, I don’t think I’ll ever understand the success of Oasis and how they’re considered such a legendary band. Liam Gallagher literally just whines in every single song, and it’s the most annoying thing ever. That said, if it wasn’t for Liam Gallagher, I’ll admit that the music aspect of Oasis really isn’t that bad.

This album is really nothing special, but I gotta give it an extra star for Wonderwall.

I can completely hear how this is a solid album that captured its moment perfectly. Oasis took Brit pop and mixed in a little grunge, turned down the synths, added a hint of pub rock, and recorded a totally solid album that connected with millions of people. But I’m not one of them and I’m not totally sure why. I don’t dislike them at all and honestly think I should like them more, but for some reason they just don’t connect with me. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall (I hope I’m the first to make that reference 🤞🏻).

Second best Oasis album but a banger.

A few real bangers on this album! Not a whole albums worth.

The apex of Brit Pop. Over the top, expansive and pure rock bliss. This is perfection.

You really can’t go wrong with this classic album by these guys. Glad the feud is over and they are going to play again.

10/10 Best album ever. It means everything to me. It got me into the music I love and shaped my life

Perfect. No notes.

Do you need a little time to wake up, wake up. Currently riding high again due to the reformation concerts. I'm much more of a blur fan to be perfectly honest, but this album just fucking rocks from start to finish. Noel is a songwriting legend.

This album’s electric (can I be electric too…?)

One of the greatest albums of all time

Ugh...that's what I thought when this album popped up. I've heard it before and yeah the singles are catchy, whatever. Just some Beatles wannabes that started the beginning of the end of the 90s. Plus the albums that are chosen for me on Thursdays are the albums I really get to sit back and truly listen to and to see that this special day was going to Oasis? Come the Frick on. I never listened to the album before though. I didn't come out the other end an Oasis fan but for the first time I got what Britpop was and I kinda liked it. When I first heard Wonderwall it was on MTV and yeah it was catchy but the video screamed The Beatles and I didn't want nor doea one need another Beatles. Take those images away and you hear all of 63-65 British rock with a heavy 90s song writing style and it is really good. I might not go back to it and as I said I didn't come out the other end a fan but I did get to listen to a really good album.

Never been a big britpop guy, but these songs can't be denied. This must have hit so hard in the 90s.

Never was a big Oasis fan but I'm starting to dig into their library and I don't hate it

great album, good example of britpop 8.5/10

Really can't be too mad at this.

Day319 - the best oasis album. i can’t wait for the tour next year to see if they can not kill each other

I love this album and IMO think it's close to flawless

This is THE Oasis album!! Massive tunes!!!! What a tracklist! A lot of my all time favourite Oasis songs are on this album This album is older than me and yet its still played wherever I go. Its rare to visit Manchester and not hear an Oasis song playing somewhere. Iconic This album hit me right in the feels today. Hearing these songs bring back tons of memories from different stages of my life. The day I finished school, drunk in a field, everyone singing Wonderwall. Being deep into the crowd at Leeds fest 2017 watching Liam's set. Listening to Oasis every morning on the way to work, so loud the car was shaking What I love about this album is how its stood the test of time. I was at a gig in Manchester on the day Oasis announced their reunion, and the crowd sang along to Wonderwall before the show. People of all ages with their lights in the air 🥹 Some much younger than me, but they knew all the words as if it was a new song Don't Look Back in Anger also becoming a song of unity in the city since 2017 🐝 I love hearing crowds of people singing along. The power of music is truly amazing, and this album is not only so good, but it brings people together! ❤️ One of the rare albums that really belongs on this list lol 5 ⭐️

Svinbra skiva. Många hitlåtar. En klassiker man kan lyssna på då och då.

Var aldrig ett stort fan av oasis. Men det är ju bra musik. Nästan objektivt. Men fångar inte mig riktigt. Men det får ett bra betyg ändå. Så bra är det ändå.

Jag erkänner, jag är en fanboy och jag tycker Oasis var så jävla coola. Älskar den här skivan.

I've always enjoyed this album. Some of the best oasis songs that have a permanent place in my head.

I just don't get it

nice guitar sounds

Great album

Admittedly I didn't take any notes while listening to this on Friday. This is such a solid record. Easy to listen to but also easy to dive in deeper. Some all time classics on this record as well. Good melodies, good production, good songwriting.

What an incredible record. Is there even a bad song on this album? (at least not with the original 12 tracks.) Every song is so packed full of energy and emotion. The lyrics are grounding and the music is always moving and progressing. One minute you're grooving to Roll With It or Don't Look Back and then next minute you're singing your heart out to Wonderwall or being self reflective to Champagne Supernova. I love the hard rock and punk rock influence of this record. I'm also really taken back by the blues guitar elements of this album. The blues are EVERYWHERE. This basically influenced the entire alt rock movement, and every band eventually sounded like this. So taking yourself out of the meme-ification of Wonderwall, it's hard not to be blown away by this record and the unique sound and style of it.

already listened 8/10

Mediocre alt-pop rock. Would die happily without hearing this.

obviously several of these songs have been favorites since middle school but i had never listened to the whole album through. Some of the vocals are just a tad annoying in that 90s rock/punk rock way but after a second listen im more into it

CATCH UP: NOVEMBER 15 Oasis have to be my favorite band to never have a masterpiece album. A lot of my favorite bands I can just pretend they have a 9/10 worthy record, and even here Masterplan gets CLOSE, but god the three big singles just feel played out on this one. Wonderwall is still a good song and I'll defend it in that respect, but it's pretty consistent in quality with the other cuts here. I'm not sure if this album has "grown off me" in the traditional sense because I still adore Oasis as a band, but it's never been my favorite listening experience compared to Definitely Maybe or Masterplan. Those might be the masterpiece I so desperately wish this one was. But it ain't. However, when this record gets good, it's some of the best tunes Oasis ever wrote. Morning Glory is one of my favorite songs of all time, in the upper tier of "music that makes me remember life is worth living", and Some Might Say could warm even the coldest of hearts towards the Gallaghers' sappy style of Britpop. I don't think there's any route this album could take to perfection, maybe it just wasn't meant to be...but I can bear this reality too. 8/10

Oasis and Blur in the space of two weeks. This app knows. Another classic Britpop album with no skips filled with stadium anthems.

The second best oasis album

Fantastic album. That feels the same hearing it now as it did when I was 15.

I mostly hated this stuff in the 90s. Given 25+ years of perspective a lot of these songs are actually really great.

Whiny Brit-pop with the personality of a plate of mushed peas.

Nope. It's annoying.

A couple of the best songs ever recorded, surrounded by a lot of 'pretty good' 90's rock.

It was fine, didn't really move me in any way.

One of my favourite albums of all time, so not much I can say that's not been said already.

It’s very unfortunate that douchebags ruined Wonderwall because it is a good song. The whole album is good, but it is overplayed. Probably the best of all Britpop albums. Best track is Don’t Look Back in Anger.

I was there, on social media, when Oasis announced their need to pay for divorces or something I mean their comeback and I saw great clashes between people being over the moon about it and others' utmost need to proclaim "most overrated band ever". I don't care either way. I didn't mind Oasis when this was playing everywhere, I didn't feel a desire to have more of it. Their insufferable pricks schtick? Dumb, but it made me watch funny bits of their most catastrophic concert. They belong in here, I guess, all things considered. It's formulaic songs cooked to perfection. Not for me, but an achievement I can respect. And something I really like: they've nailed a truly attractive and fitting sound as a wrapper for those songs. This is commendably cool on the ears. I still don't care for it and the space Oasis gets to occupy in 90ies music annoys me a bit, but I've got to be fair here.

Was nice to hear something familiar

Saved Prior: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger Off Rip: She's Electric Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Still don't really like Oasis outside of their anthems, but this album has their two best and the rest is mostly tolerable (ie doesn't make my eardrums feels like they're being ground to dust like Definitely Maybe). If I hadn't already given Definitely Maybe a 2 this would get a 2, but I'll round the 2.5 up so that they don't get the same grade. Whatever man.

这个乐队有名到我知道。这专不是特别喜欢。

One of the rare near perfect albums ever recorded. Noel was unconscious for 2-3 years, everything he wrote was a banger. We all know the hits but Side 2 is the highlight for me, Some Might Say, Cast No Shadow and one of my favourite of all time, the title track, What’s the Story Morning Glory. 9.7/10

I was never a huge fan of Oasis, I was a Blur girl, and even then only The Great Escape. There are a couple of gems (Champagne Supernova) but am I only hearing it through rose tinted glasses? Who knows.

immaculate eternal lucid dreaming goat shadowcasting on cloud nine 10/10

This one takes me back to the good old days. Great album with fine song writing and passion powering the performance. It’s too bad these guys hate each other. They could do something more.

There is absolutely no way I could give this anything other than a 5, it will always be a huge regret I didn’t see them live til 97! I remember hearing Lamacq playing snippets of Cast No Shadow and Champagne Supernova before its release during an interview with Liam and Noel and knowing full well they were gonna take over things!

Bad hated it

I think negative reviews of these are always unfair, calling it "lager" rock. How many bands could write an album of songs which a large number of still resonate with people decades later? There is a certain element of snobbery about it. 5*

It’s a good album and functions as a kind of best of album for Oasis.

Garbage. If you think I’m spending a Saturday listening to this tuneless drivel, and giving that pair of gormless monobrowed Planet of the Apes rejects a minute of my time, you are sorely mistaken. This could be the Million and One albums to listen to before you die, and Oasis wouldn’t belong on it. The most overrated band in history. Standout Song: Don’t be silly. Score: 1/5

This is the album that made Oasis a household name. And for good reason. It's an undeniable powerhouse of a record. There's not a bad track on here. Anyway, here's "Wonderwall." 4-5⭐️

If not the best album of the 1990s, this is certainly in the conversation for that spot. Every track here is solid.

I think album gets off to a slow start but the hits start rolling and it’s great.

I definitely enjoy this album. I even bought it on CD when it was released. I just never thought their music was that transcendent. It’s good pop with a bit of a rock edge. Not mind blowing nor trailblazing. I wonder if the brothers had never feuded if they would be as big as they are now. Champagne Super Nova is my favorite track and favorite overall song from Oasis. Quite honestly, I cannot think of an Oasis song that is not on this album.

5/5. Liam said they were better than the Beatles, and although that is a stretch, it's hard to deny their songwriting prowess. Every song (save maybe one or two) is an absolute pop rock masterpiece. This is a near perfect front to back experience, I'll recommend it to anyone. There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Just awesome. Best Song: Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger

I loved this when it came out. It doesn't hold up as well to me now, but that's a bit to be expected. It is interesting how a lot of these songs could be retooled to be a modern doom song. Long and short, I liked this but every time I revisit them I remember how forgettable a lot of their music is.

Wish I would have listened to this when I was 18, it would have been right up my alley. Not hitting the same now that I’m old.

YESSS CAST a shadow.. nice lyrics

Anyway here’s Wonderwall <3

i mean it’s probably a 5 but i only gave blonde on blonde a 4, so…

Never really landed with me, was always more of a Blur guy in the very-ginned-up fake competition between the two. Never got their own comparisons to The Beatles, to me it's so apparent this is above average 90s rock revival, not like some groundbreaking sea change like The Beatles.

anyway, here's Wonderwall

7.5/10. It's a very pleasant album with many great melodies. :)

Call it a guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy Oasis

Jedna fajn písnička, světlejší okamžiky v jiných, jinak nezábavná hudba z nákupáků

There is a lot of hype around this album. I feel it has not aged well.

While the world prepares for Oasis's reunion tour next year, this will be the first album I get from them on this journey. Of their first two albums, (What's the Story) Morning Glory is the more popular one in the Americas; an observation I have made from how many times I've heard "Some Might Say", "Champagne Supernova" and especially "Wonderwall" growing up. I will say there is some credence to the lasting popularity of this album. Sonically, the group channels their various influences—particularly the Beatles—in creating a vibrant and psychedelic Britpop sound, cranked up by the use of brick wall mastering, that feels anthemic and full of vivid imagery. Sure, some of the songs are straightforward fun rockers like "Some Might Say" and "Roll With It", but Noel Gallagher varies the songwriting to draw from personal experiences or emotions. Whether it's the somber reflection on his mate Richard Ashcroft of the Verve on "Cast No Shadow", the necessity to look forward on "Don't Look Back in Anger", or the use of words to paint a scene even if no meaning could be found on the closer "Champagne Supernova", Noel did an excellent job of penning these songs for people to connect with, propelled by Liam's well-projected vocals, Paul Arthurs's superb guitar play, and the complimenting rhythm section of Paul McGuigan and Alan White. That all said, this album is not flawless. Where the first half shows strength in composition, the second half falters. The two untitled interludes known as "The Swamp Song Excerpts" could have been combined into one instrumental blues jam session. Also, "She's Electric" does not evoke the same power and dynamic range as other tracks have, even if it tries to be cheeky by borrowing the same outro from The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends." Still, Morning Glory is a fun album that serves as a shining example for Oasis and the Britpop sound of the 1990s. I don't expect to look back in anger at this one.

I don't get how people compare Oasis to the Beatles -- aside from their momentary flash of fame. To me, they're more like the final form of the Stone Roses or Soup Dragons. I'd heard the hits from this since they were just inescapable -- but it's a pretty good rock & roll record. Revelatory? No. But pretty damned decent. Unexpected bangers: Morning Glory, Roll With It

Champagne Supernova is still excellent, as is Wonderwall. A whole listen-through of Oasis gets annoying. Everything tends to sound the same, and a bit whiny...

Don't look Back in Anger is a highlight. The rest either bore me or are just plain bad.

Really stands the test of time. Not an inch of fat on this album (and they had plenty of b-sides from this period that are album worthy)

Highlights: Roll With It, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova. In a nutshell: an album that defined an era. Overall: 7/10

Oasis are like, a giant hit or miss, and after their first two albums they entirely lost their magic if they even had any, i prefer definitely maybe and i think its their best but even then, this one's fine, nothing super great though

Y'know, there was a moment listening to blur's eponymous debut album that I thought they were my favorite Britpop group. And not just because their frontman went on to co-create Noodle and the rest of Gorillaz, of course. I'm just staring at the quantity of great material they have, and how much of it is absolute quality. Heck, how much of it sounds unique from each other. Like, I don't consider blur to have "one sounds," necessarily; they kinda jus' do whatever they want, while still being able to fit under the "Britpop" label. It's great stuff, and it's interesting to hear what they're gonna do next. Versus today's subject, Oasis. While I can name a number of blur albums of note, there's really only two Oasis albums I figure are worth consideration. Maybe three if you wanna include BE HERE NOW as "the album that killed Britpop." As for their sound... Yeah, they have **a** sound: Beatlesque Britpop that's huge to the point of potentially being to blame for the Loudness War. Not really as interesting to consider as all of blur's various turns from song to song. So, obviously, in my mind blur wins the Britpop War. They're just more sonically intriguing. And that's just that, right? But then I actually fully listened to today's album, for the first time in a while. And... Y'know, there's a very good reason why Oasis was more of an international success than blur. Why, for example, people might know more Oasis songs than "Wonderwall", then they'd know more blur songs than "Song 2" (besides that blur might be too obviously British). And simply, it **is** their sound. Not just the comparisons you can make to the Beatles (which are a "plus" in my book, anyway), but their hugeness, and How anthemic they can be. They sound and feel like the biggest songs in the world, demanding to be made classics. And, hey, lookit — they did. Now, I wanna make clear, it's not **just** the bigness; the songwriting behind it plays just as important a role. If you want proof of that, just look at BE HERE NOW. In a haze of cocaine and conflict ("wibbling rivalry," even), the quality of their songwriting went straight out the window and... Well, like I said: "the album that killed Britpop." The songs there just drag on forever, largely because they just hit the same hook over and over and over again. After a while, it can get draining. And the thing is, I **do** kinda like "All Around The World" for how monstrously big it grows over its **nine minute** runtime. Even then, however, it still kinda exists in my mind as "the template for the overgrown, overstuffed and overblown mess of a song one of my characters would create in a horribly misguided attempt to make something big and important." Y'get what I mean? Whereas on this album, the songwriting is so much tighter and more focused. They can go on a little, but they never overstay their welcome, or at least they do enough new or the hooks are just that good that it's never really an issue. "Wonderwall" didn't get played as much as it did for nothing. Plus, y'know, "Some Might Say", "Don't Look Back In Anger", "Champagne Supernova"... Even the songs on here that aren't singles! Like, as much as I wanna act all "big brain" and smart and prefer blur for it's my eclectic turns, in the end, I can be a bit more simple than that. Some times, a lot of times, I turn on to big hooks, and this album has that in spades. blur, as much as I like them (and Gorillaz), they really can't compete on that front. "Woo-hoo" just don't stack. So while, thanks to this list and a compilation I've heard, I do have a lot more love for and interest in blur than I used to, I'd still probably reach for Oasis first. Oasis just tickles my "melody first" brain so much better. Of course, this Oasis album is getting the same 5 I gave the last blur album my group got, so it's not like there was really ever any competition to begin with. They're both fantastic, just for different reasons, and I'm happy they've both provided us with so many wonderful songs. Besides, neither group has Noodle as a member like Gorillaz does, and that alone means Gorillaz win in any imaginary war I'd make up. That's just fact.

Y'know, despite all the infighting and the Beatles influences being way too obvious (especially on Be Here Now), the Gallagher brothers made some of the best damn rock of the 90s at their creative peak. Solid 5 stars.

I’m at a 5. My experience with Oasis is still relatively untainted and fresh – yes, everyone knows Wonderwall, and a lot of people know Champagne Supernova, and I’m guilty of knowing (and loving) both. This was always gonna get at least a 3 on the strength of those 2 tracks alone. Past that though, I’m still fresh as a daisy on pretty much all of their stuff; I know Noel and Liam can be pretentious as hell, always at odds, and their confidence is their biggest flaw as much as it is their biggest strength. It’s a good thing this album uses it as an incredible strength – they shot their shot with the most stadium-friendly rock one could ever produce, without any guarantee that they could really fill out stadiums like that, and they absolutely fucking nailed it. I’m leaning fully into guilty pleasure mode on a lot of these tracks, and I don’t really care. The melodies are fun, the vocals are great, and when the bombast and showmanship matches the quality like this, it just comes across as a sort of victory lap to me, rather than corporate or manufactured. It feels like an indie band that “made it” their way, in their own style, without selling out or sacrificing, even if it probably leans closer to “selling out”. I just loved this album from front to back. I think Hello’s immediate foreshadowing of Wonderwall kinda eased me in, and I never really looked back – these are energetic tracks, and while a few go a bit too long, or lean into a bit of repetition, I don’t think there’s ever really a dull moment on here. The lyrics are probably the weakest part here, but the vocals and instrumentation shoot this album up pretty damn high for me – when the lyrics do match the quality of the instrumentals, though, it leads to something excellent. If the lyrics, vocals, and instrumentals all click at the same time, it leads to something spectacular. This album only ever hits on “spectacular” a few times for me, at varying points throughout some of the songs, but it clicks on “excellent” a lot of the time. Big shoutout to “Cast No Shadow”, by the way. I’m sure some people will be absolutely snobbish about an album like this, and I’d be remiss to not recognize my own hypocrisy with how much I tore into Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals for what I perceived as trying to achieve this type of success on a different, more commercialized “Hollywood soundtrack” scale. Maybe it’s because of my own bias with Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova prior to listening to the album in full, but I never felt like I was listening to something inauthentic throughout the album like I did with Fuzzy Logic. There is a fully realized style here that gets pretty adhered to, and while the variety of the album itself is admittedly weaker because of it, it doesn’t make the experience feel lesser to me. This feels like a proper setlist, cohesive, earning its stripes as a 50 minute piece with a beginning and ending, all concocted by Liam and Noel and the rest of the band with the express purpose of selling out stadiums and realizing their dreams. Is that a bad thing? I dunno, maybe. Maybe I’m the snob for adoring one type of commercial appeal and ripping into the other, but regardless of my own introspections, this album just clicked perfectly for me. This does feel like the inflection point that shifted Britpop for the last half of the 90s, for better or for worse. Its legacy will likely stand as Oasis’ magnum opus, a seminal album of the 1990s, and for unfortunately (and lovingly) giving us Wonderwall. It’s a lot of different things, arguably dated being among them, but for my tastes, I just deeply, deeply enjoyed it. Rather easy 5 for me.

Acoustic melancholic anthem may be all Oasis can do, but they do it really well. Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova are enough to earn this top marks. They may be overplayed, but there’s a reason they’re overplayed.

Huge album. Not Definitely Maybe. But still deserving of the fiver. Probably the last good thing they did as well. Simpsons: No

Incredible easy 5.

I will start with the positives. most of the songs are superb. The total time doesn't feel too long ( probably because the songs are good). I very much enjoyed this album. However, I think you could probably reduce this album to 9 songs and not lose anything. I personally would get rid of the first song and just kick it off with ' Roll with it ', as well as the two swamp songs. I considered giving this 5 stars, but couldn't do it. Champagne Supernova is a good song but I think the album would have been better if they had finished with either 'Wonderwall' or 'Dont look Back in Anger'

Oasis are alright but there's no way this is a great album? Surely they just have a few bangers and that's it? How wrong I was, banger of an album. I was tempted to dock them a star for being City supporters but it's too good to do that.

ein album voller toller songs mit fantastischem sound - danke oasis! soundtrack meiner 20er und einfach immer noch stark. definitiv eines meiner lieblingsalben!

Wonderwall überstrahlt den Rest des Albums. Mir sind die anderen Songs zu intensiv, aber so war das halt in den 90er

Pretty good

Yeah yeah it's easy to meme on Oasis/Wonderwall, but as a complete package, this album actually kicks ass. The songwriting is smart, the production is crisp, and the instrumentation somehow feels grandiose yet intimate at the same time.

3.5

Definitivt noen gode bangers her, men utenom det er jeg ikke helt fenget av Oasis ennå altså

1. Hello -- 7/10 2. Roll With It - 4.7/10 3. Wonderwall - 8/10 4. Don't Look Back in Anger - 9/10 5. Hey Now! - 6/10 6. The Swamp Song - V1 - Barely even a song 7. Some Might Say - 5/10 8. Cast No Shadow - 7/10 9. She's Electric - 6.5/10 - Funny lil song, made me giggle 10. Morning Glory - 9/10 - Best song off the album imo 11. The Swamp Song - V2 - Barely even a song 12. Champagne Supernova - 8/10 Average: 7.02/10

At this point, Wonderwall is a meme and overplayed. But on release, I can see how this song was really impactful. This is a really simple album; it has "big" choruses or whatever they were trying to say in the wikipedia blurb, but it's not frilly big choruses, if that makes sense. It's pretty straight forward music, made for the masses. There's nothing bad about the album, but it doesn't strike me as great. Very good, though, from beginning to end, and no duds. It's just there. Favorite Song(s): Don't Look Back in Anger, Champaign Supernova

There I finally listened to it, now my oasis fan friends can leave me alone about the reunion. Favourite Songs: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova. Least Favourite Songs: Roll with It, She's Electric.

This album never gets old. Wonderwall may be overplayed, but it's still a great song, and the rest of the album aged well too. 4.5/5 stars

Solid Brit-Rock

truemusic！

Definitely Maybe was a breakout hit but this is the album that turned Oasis into a band who would sell out stadiums for decades to come (even with dynamic pricing taken into account!). Also the album where Noel emerged as a capable singer himself which was a key moment. There's something about the production on this and DM which makes the guitars really 'pop' - Noel has never been a hugely technical guitarist but they sound amazing in places. Maybe it's just volume/mixing, I'm not knowledgeable enough to say, but it elevates the music a lot. WTSMG has everything from rockers (Morning Glory), ballads (Cast No Shadow), smash hits (Wonderwall), singalong anthems (Don't Look Back In Anger) and an epic, psychedelic closer (Champagne Supernova). It still sounds great nearly 30 years on

i want to punch the asshole brothers in this band so bad. something about them pisses me off. Their little British faces trigger some nascent violent urge within. that being said the music is pretty good.

Loved the guitar in a lot of the songs. Fave is Cast No Shadow.

Chock-full of anthems I already knew, and they're titans, but I never actually sat down and listened to the album until now. While "the hits" are the meat, the other songs aren't bad and the album flows well. That said, I still don't quite find the other songs compelling enough that I'd listen to the whole album often. Still, the guitars sound spectacular throughout, and that's what really makes the album for me. Lyrics don't seem to be Oasis's strong point, but when you sound this good, it doesn't matter. That said, I'm not sure if I'd play

I prefer Definitely Maybe to this album. And I am also docking them a star for the whole UK comeback special ticket fiasco.

good

They are fine as a band, but I would definitely like them better if they didn't consistently lift from other artists. I'm hearing Stone Roses on two tracks, at least three Beatles melodies/chords (including Lennon solo), and that egregious REM theft.

My favorite songs in the album are Wonderwall and She’s Electric.

Half stadium anthems, half sludgy filler.

Sounds like a Wetherspoons carpet tastes

Clásico de los 90 y del rock en general. Puede que el mejor disco de Oasis (entre este y el debut) y desde luego una lista de canciones que pudieron ser todas singles arrolladores (6 de las lo 10 fueron). Constituye hoy día la obra cumbre del Brit-Pop. Aún les sobró tiempo para dejar fuera del álbum maravillas como Whatever o The Masterplan. El álbum no tiene desperdicio alguno: desde la gloriosa apertura de Hello, la fuerza de Some Might Say y Roll with It, Morning Glory, la delicadeza de Don't Look Back in Anger y Champagne Supernova hasta el clásico absoluo que es Wonderwall. Otros discos de 1995 fueron: P J HARVEY: To Bring You My Love, TRICKY: Maxinquaye, TINDERSTICKS: The Second Album, BJÖRK: Post, PULP: Different Class, SMASHING PUMPKINS: Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, SUPERGRASS: I Should Coco, GARBAGE: Garbage, THE JAYHAWKS - Tomorrow the green grass, TEENAGE FANCLUB: Grand Prix, RADIOHEAD: The Bends, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: The Ghost Of Tom Joad, ELASTICA: Elastica, D’ANGELO: Brown Sugar, WILCO: A M, SPIRITUALIZED: Pure Phase, YO LA TENGO: Electr-O-Pura, Slowdive (‘Pygmalion’), GUIDED BY VOICES- Alien lanes También: THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS: Exit Planet Dust, GOLDIE: Timeless, FOO FIGHTERS: Foo Fighters, BLACK GRAPE: It’s Great When You Are Straight Yeah PAVEMENT: Wowee Zowee , SPAIN: The Blue Moods Of Spain THE AMPS: Pacer, THE PRESIDENTS OF U.S.A. - The Presidents of U.S.A., PAUL WELLER - Stanley road, BEN FOLDS FIVE - Ben Folds Five, SONIC YOUTH - Washing machine, NEIL YOUNG & PEARL JAM - Mirror ball, MATTHEW SWEET - 100% Fun, LUNA - Penthouse, CHRIS ISAAK- Forever Blue, Throwing Muses- University, Supersuckers- The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers, Superchunk -Here’s Where the Strings Come In, Annie Lennox- Medusa, Jamiroquai-The Return of the Space Cowboy, THE VERVE- A northern soul, THE MAGNETIC FIELDS- Get lost, U2 (Passengers)- Original soundtracks 1, Prince - The Gold Experience, NO DOUBT- Tragic Kingdom.

Pretty entertaining and goes down easy. Mmm Best song: Don't Look Back in Anger Worst song: Champagne Supernova

Quintessential britpop, it's full of anthems and memorable hooks. The production is very simple but not in a bad way. The songs are easy and the runtime felt very short. I know the hits have been overplayed to death, but they still slap. It's a special energy that's fun to listen to, it captures the 90s british era very well. Best song: Hello / Don't Look Back In Anger Worst song: Hey Now!

Don't Look Back In Anger is Pachelbel's Canon. Just sayin'. Now that that's out of the way, the album still holds up. I still like Definitely Maybe better. Liked Songs Added: Wonderwall Some Might Say Cast No Shadow She's Electric Champagne Supernova

Much more than just pop music. 8/10

This is, to my mind, a definite five star album: when you look at the track listing you realise just how many great songs are on this. Some of the songs are just so perfect that it's difficult to imagine them not being around (yes, I mean you Champagne Supernova) - I think this is the mark of greatness. Cast no Shadow is such a poetic number, followed by She's Electric. I mean, come on - these are fantastic tracks. And there are more, obviously - all on one album. Most bands can only dream of writing an album like this - it's even better than I remember. I think not having listened to it for a while has helped me to really hear it again, if you see what I mean. "Slip into the eye of your mind ... " Brilliant.

Great to listen 30 years later when they are back in the news. But oh god, this is tricky and I may disagree with some! 'Don't Look Back in Anger' is so perfect in every way, so familiar yet it still gives me goosebumps. The song, the structure, the perfect (Imagine?) start and perfect (beautiful and gentle) end, all the instrumentation, Noel's delivery, the huge chorus, the guitar break, all are second to none. And the more I listen to it the more I notice the drumming, it's perfect throughout but the fill between the guitar break and final chorus is magnificent! 'Wonderwall' is iconic, a song of the time. 'She's Electric' still sounds as bright and breezy as ever, playful and lovable. 'Hey Now' is better than I remember. Aside from that there are only 2 or 3 songs I really like. The rest I can take or leave, so I haven't played this in full for over 25 years. End to end it's not a truly great album for me. Sorry!

I think when you can call an album THE Oasis album, it is probably quite good. Obviously Don’t Look Back In Anger/Wonderwall are great, but I had a lot of good things to say about Roll With It, Morning Glory, She’s Electric, and even Talk Tonight (which might not be on the original listing idk). This was going to be a 4, as some of the songs in the middle/back end drone on a little bit for me, but then Champagne Supernova comes on and you can’t help but feel like it was all part of the plan to build up to such a finale. Epic song.

I could go on and on about how great this album is, but I don’t need to. The music and its legacy speaks for itself. Mega. Roll (with it) on Heaton Park 2025!

I've got this album around here somewhere and remember it when it came out. Props for its success.

Some absolute classics on this one, probably the peak of 90's "Britpop" and one that I listened to a *lot* in high school and beyond. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

Super fun rock

Oasis’ quintet album, it’s actually aged better than what I thought it would.

Q:? A: Need a little time to wake up, wake up. This is a well crafted album from start to finish. T’was great when it dropped, still is. Five of the songs are well known hits, and the rest of the songs are good. Own this one on CD, but haven’t listened to the entire album in a very long time. There’s no filler on this album, all good. Comes in at (4.3*s)

I totally understand that this album was popular in 1995 and a game changer for the band but I never liked it. It's mediocre, it's spineless, it's lukewarm Bud Light on a swollen wood table with water rings. It feels lazy and something about them is so corn-balled, I didn't enjoy this listen. Sure it's nostalgic, but it degraded over time. The question on the front cover should be "Which Gallagher is a bigger douche?". It get's a low 2.0.

An overrated band and album; however, still very listenable. Has the hits, which are good, with "Wonderwall" easily taking the top bill. Oasis made the leap to stardom with this album and set themselves up as the slacker Brit-rock Bros of the 90s which def appealed to the generation. I never was overly impressed and still not. Noel kept up the d-bag persona and just brought the team down over the years. Maybe deserves the list and certainly better than many others that have made it...2.45.

This is a difficult one. This album was huge and has always been a critical darling. It includes are a couple of huge hit songs that have remained in the zeitgeist (even more so now with the recent Oasis reunion). It is one of those albums that is bigger than itself due to all of the lore and history from the band's overall arc. I was surprised by how underwhelmed I was on this re-listen. It's got a couple hits and then is filled with a lot of good-to-OK songs. Overall it doesn't have many weak points, but the middle of the album is kinda filler. By no means is it a bad album, but I can't put it anywhere near the top of the list. It's solid for sure, but I doesn't hit that upper tier despite some of its lasting impact for me. 3.64 stars

What if – and hear me out – Oasis was never really good, but British people were just *so* goddamn nostalgic for their ‘60s rock bands that they let a group of lads who wrote pretty boring and basic songs and who couldn’t sing for shit become the biggest band in the world, and then let them make the most mid-‘90s overproduced album imaginable built around a handful of half-finished hooks and beginner guitar chords that go on for 5-10 minutes for no reason whatsoever. Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall,” the best song on this god awful overhyped piece of trash, which tells you how good the rest of it is, really.

I didn't know they did other songs that sounded different than wonderwall.

This album slaps! I was already a fan of a few of their songs but never listened to this album in full. Great time all around. 'Champagne Supernova' wins my top pick. Anyway, here's 'Wonderwall'

Whats the Story still holds up for the most part. the title track is anthemic

First time listening to more than the singles. 7 great singles but not sure it is all round 'best album-y' enough to be up there with the very best? Not sure, listened to the Great Escape straight after Best - Some Might Say Worst - Hey Now

Fun and cool album

Banger

I Said maybe

The kind of album where I couldn't point to any specific thing being "wrong" with it, yet it just didn't click between the two of us at all. We came to the mutual agreement that it just wasn't meant to be between us and that we should probably be seeing other people.

woah, a good album? 3.5

So popular. So so popular. A true test of my aversion to popular things. God forbid I like this. noooooooooooo. I like this. Driving rock rhythm and a voice that fits the music well. Pretty fantastic 90’s alt-rock song. I feel like this one was in a commercial. This one isn’t as good. It feels pretty silly and not in a fun way. It’s fine, but not necessarily something I’d want to revisit. Anyway. Here’s wonderwall. Trying to listen to this like I’ve never heard it. The chorus still sucks, but ugh I actually like this song. Do I unironically enjoy wonderwall?? Yes. Don’t tell anybody. Although it’s not perfect, it’s better than I thought. This song was my SHIT in rockband. Man this is a beautiful song. Really nice melody and one of the better songs I’ve heard doing this project. Of course I already knew it, but mostly as a 12 year old smashing the shit out of plastic drums. Hey now. This one is forgettable. Sort of floating by. Listless britpop. Interlude. Sounds like George Thorogood or however you spell that shit. One time this thing doesn’t autocorrect ridiculously. Anyway. Whatever. Some might say is good. Cool heavy guitars. Nice vocal melody. Sweet song. This one isn’t doing it. Reminds me of feeling depression for the first time and not understanding what it was. Like 2000 type shit. I guess it was ahead of its time. In both depression prognostication and getting the perfect feel for 2001 lite rock. She’s electric??? Don’t rhyme sister with missed her. Although, again the songwriting is nice. This is a decent album. Nice melodies. A little repetitive. Spacey, cool, a little aggressive. Pretty good. More swamp music. Actual live footage of swamp waters. Into the big concert closer. Although, this song is so nice too. I forgot how well the melodies are crafted. There are depressing elements but isn’t that what we’re looking for sometimes??? Yes. Colour me shocked that this wasn’t a pretentious, overly poppy, whining mess. It’s a nice britpop experience with many memorable songs and fantastic songwriting. Obliged to say that wonderwall was decent and Oasis overall has impressed me. Which is what all musical acts strive to do. 3-3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Hello, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova

Emily loves it and wonderwal

Con este disco Oasis dan continuidad a su primer trabajo, un ábum conceptual sobre la búsqueda del estrellato, contando a ritmo de excelso brit-pop lo que ocurre una vez alcanzado. Ya no son unos rockeros desgarrados e incluyen brillantes baladas con un tono más íntimo. Es el caso de la magnífica "Wonderwall", con la que llegaron al top del mercado norteamericano, una sencilla canción de amor escrita por Noel Gallagher para su entonces novia y hoy ex mujer. El disco abre con un saludo, la contundente "Hello", que ya anticipa todo lo bueno (y también lo malo) que vamos a encontrar después. Le sigue un buen tema y primer sencillo extraído del disco, "Roll With It", rock potente de estadio. Me gusta, mucho "Don't Look Back In Anger", un himno en el que más allá de lo interno, lo que habla de lo que sacrifican los músicos de una banda, propone mirar siempre adelante y olvidar lo que podría haber sido en el pasado. Por supuesto la rockera "Some Might Say" es otra de las grandes canciones del álbum, una mezcla de melodía 'Beatle' con desparpajo 'Stones' y letra con pretensiones contra la autocomplacencia y llena de imágenes de las clases más humildes. Por supuesto también hay que citar "Champagne Supernova", el muy buen tema que cierra el álbum. Se acusa al grupo de tomar demasiado prestado de otros artistas y especialmente de los Beatles, pero incluso siendo esto cierto, son creadores de muy buenas melodías pop-rock.

I assumed I was going to hate this album. Wonderwall is a cliche at this point and the brothers have made a fool of themselves more than once over the decades. But you know what? It works. It's a very pleasant album to listen to and most of the songs work really well. Pleasantly surprised.

I added a few of the songs to my like list in Spotify.

What a great album. I have no complaints.

I know Wonderwall was a big hit.. but I don’t understand why this album is on this list.

Very good but better than the Beatles? Nope. Also so overplayed I do not feel the need to listen to it again for quite a while.

When I was a teenager and started developing more my interests, I stopped caring for the Oasis Brothers, mainly because Blur and Pulp were (and still are) much, much better in my opinion. For years and years I've held this public opinion of "Oasis sucks" that even my friends got tired of, but secretly I was listening to Don't Look Back in Anger and Some Might Say before bed or during trips. Today I finally listened to the whole thing and god dammit those Oasis Brothers made some good fucking songs. Catchy as hell, instant radio bangers that it's no wonder that they still get played to this day. Roll With It, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in a straight row is criminal but a big listening pleasure. I still won't ever forgive them for being massive assholes, and Blur is still better than them. They got back and there's a high chance they'll come to my country. And while I'm not a fan, I'd go just to say I saw them live. And because I already saw Pulp and Blur, I gotta finish that Britpop trinity. And to piss off an Oasis fan because I bought a ticket they couldn't.

For me, there were two kinds of tracks on this album. The first type has a clear connection to previous Alternative styles (to me it sounded like Grunge), and even older stuff like Glam Rock. These are songs I had not heard before, but I predictably enjoyed the sound. The second kind are the essential Oasis songs - "Don't Look Back in Anger", "Champagne Supernova", and "Wonderwall". They sound just fine, and the lyrics aren't that engaging. The only song I really like is "She's Electric" - the tune is simple, but it's elevated by all the layers, the lyrics are fun, and the vocals work great in this song.

It’s a bloody good album. Hard to find a bad track.

First time listening to Oasis. OMG this is the album with Wonderwall on it, haha! Love the vibe. At times it almost reminds me of the Beach Boys (Roll With It). Easy to listen to. But over time his voice can get a little whiny. I feel like I'd love a lot of these songs on a playlist mixed with other stuff, so it doesn't get repetitive. Also, She's Electric is too cheesy for me. Favorite songs: Hello, Swamp Song Version 1, Cast No Shadow, Champagne Supernova

-I think I like this more than Definitely Maybe, it’s a bit more pleasant to listen to. Some really interesting subtle instrumental effects I like too! Wonderwall is of course a very high highlight, as is the second half of the album in my opinion. Thank you Liam Gallagher you strange strange man -Favorites are Wonderwall, Cast No Shadow, and Morning Glory

The defining album of my generation (late gen x, final year of high school, Cool fuckin Britannia to the core) and I can still remember release day, cutting out of said high school to buy this CD right as HMV opened and then rush home to quickly get it on tape in order to be the first to play it on the form room stereo. Everyone was rapt in anticipation, some were disassociating from raw hype alone... Thank fuck it delivered banger after banger. This and their Knebworth shows were the high water mark for Britpop as a movement, the tide was turning long before Be Here Now jizzed itself onto the public a few years later and the Gallagher brothers and other associated band members became pastiches of their former selves, but it doesn't make this any less impactful. Now they're back, and I'm old as fuck. Almost 30 years later. Ain't life a bitch? But gods, we were kings back then... We were the masters of our fates. We were young, dumb, full of cum. We were mad for it. Anyway, here's Wonderwall...

Masterful composition and production but mostly bs lyrics with the occasional clever line and Liam’s arrogance shines through every moment. So anyway… here’s “Wonderwall”.

Great

Banger after banger after banger.

PEAK

Oasis is for the girlies who don't know how to talk to guys. Oasis is for the girlies who destroy themselves over and over again. Oasis is for the girlies who scream into their pillows at night. Oasis is for the girlies who don't know when to stop. Oasis is for the girlies who sing Don't Look Back In Anger to comfort themselves during a tennis match. Oasis is for the girlies who think about their crush when listening to Wonderwall. (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is for all us girlies out there. Stay safe yall ✌️

Full of songs I already knew, didn't like the cough at the start of Wonderwall

Goed!

Muy bueno

Pure 90s, I'm here for it.

Bien que je ne suis pas le plus grand fan d'Oasis, c'est leur album qui je trouve justifie leur popularité. Beaucoup de chansosn très accrocheuses et biens faites. Bien que leur plus populaire est leur plus plate (Wonderwall), le reste de l'album est globalement solide. 8/10

A glimmering turd that for some reason, other people think is a good record. The Gallagher show a complete lack of originality or musicality not seen again until Ed Sheeran and it’s amazing they’ve gotten away with it for so long. I’d give this zero stars but I am not allowed to

Oh boy... Oasis. Within the world of the common people, this is the biggest Britpop band of all time. They had songs like Wonderwall and that other one with Sally. And this album right here is pretty much seen as their magnum opus, their best release with the best songs they ever made including Wonderwall and that other one. I personally prefer their previous, slightly noiser debut but this album is undeniably bigger in terms of sales and universal recognition. But that does not mean that I like it. In my mind, Oasis is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Their songwriting rarely exceeds "good" and the two brothers as persons are just annoying and unbearable. The only Britpop artist (and artist in general) that I personally hate more is Damon Albarn from Blur. They are all so arrogant and tasteless, like a Punk version of Morrisey. And that feeling I have towards them as persons does make its way into their music which is why I pretty much hate the most popular Britpop artists and a lot of Britpop overall. The album says Hello with 'Hello', a psychedelic and Glam Rock inspired Britpop song that does start off by sounding pretty similar to their debut. And I do think that in terms of songwriting, this isn't bad. I like the structure of the song and how it moves between the chorus and the verses although I think that the guitar goes a little faster than actually needed. My main problem is that it sounds like all the big songs on the album. The choruses fill oddly similar to each other as if they just swapped out the words but sang the exact same thing over and over and over. The song is fine, it's an okay song that does get a little over the top towards the end but ultimately doesn't annoy too much. The even noisier 'Roll With It' is sonically a glimpse of hope but the vocals destroy that bit of hope. They feel unfocused and out of touch with the actual song and the chorus is even worse. This is a basic and tastless chorus that has been done hundreds, even thousands of times before. It's not interesting at any point after the first few notes. At one point, the lead guitar sounds like it's gone completely away from the actual. The entire song sounds unfinished and just bad. And there it is, 'Wonderwall', a song that is so overplayed that even the band itself hates it. I hate it too. To be fair, the chorus by itself is pretty good but the verses are just straight ass. I am not going to even pretend as if there was anything of artistic or emotional value to take out of that squeeky garbage of a song. I hate this track with every bone in my body and if it wasn't for the somewhat memorable chorus, this would be a straight 0. I am happy that 'Don't Look Back in Anger' follows right after to sweep up the dirt that 'Wonderwall' left behind. This is without a doubt the best track on the entire album. It has a good melody, a catchy and pretty great chorus as well as solid songwriting. It is everything its predecessor tried to be. The vocals still are a little squeeky and annoying but it's not enough to make me dislike this song. I am also pretty happy that its a David Bowie reference. Overall, the song's good with a tendency towards average but not quite especially because it does feel pretty streched after a while. The Jangle Pop and Shoegaze mix on 'Hey Now!' do feel pretty refreshing at first after the slight run of cleaner songs but sadly, the song can't really show itself as being up to what I expected of it. It's pretty boring and basic with nothing that can really set it apart from being anything. There isn't a catchy chorus, there isn't interesting songwriting. It's just really bland, so bland even that after a while the song is less interesting than most songs on the charts today. It's not totally bad but it does have a tendency towards that. The weird little interlude of 'Swamp Song Excerpt #1' which is just a Hard Rock Jam of 40 seconds isn't really what you'd expect on the album but it is like a little alarm clock that brings your focus up again after the last sleepy song. It's not bad, it's not good, it's right in the middle especially because it's so short. The albums second half is started by 'Some Might Say' which keeps the Rock influences from the previous interlude and mixes it with some Indie and Noise Pop while still being obvious Britpop. The chorus of the song is again pretty basic and sounds like it was done 100 times already without being actually catchy. The guitars again sound out of synch with the actual song but not in a good way and it overall just feels like the start of the album all over again. It is also way too long and feels streched after the half already which does make it a pretty bad song overall. The dreamy and sensual 'Cast No Shadow' comes in with some nice strings and a pretty okay songwriting. It's definitely not bad but I wouldn't say that it's good either. Mainly, it's just a very boring track that tries to be way more introspective and poetic than it actually is. Again, it isn't a bad song rather it's pretty average although it gets very tiring after a while and feels overly streched which makes the overall enjoyment feel even less good. The slight Country influences on 'She's Electric' are a nice touch at first but I am pretty dissapointed with it after a short while. It sounds like a song that you could hear from any average Rock band from Texas with a British frontman. It's not special at all but it at least isn't streched out to over five minutes and ends at a reasonable length for the song. The Hard Rock, Noise Rock and Shoegaze mix on the title track 'Morning Glory' is instrumentally my favourite moment on the album. I absolutely love how the song starts BUT the vocals ruin it. They sound like happy sunday morning on top of this noisy background which just doesn't work at all. And don't get me started on the chorus. It is just so annoying and straight up terrible that it ruins the pretty great instrumental so much that I think the result is actually bad. I am simply disappointed with the song. It's not even disgust or hate but simply disappointment. 'Swamp Song Excerpt #2' is pretty different than the first version. It's mainly a sound collage of Sound Effects, Field recordings and bits of Experimental instrumentation added in the back. It's interesting but nothing special especially with the length. It does transition into the final song, 'Champagne Supernova' though, which is also the longest song on the album. It's a pretty lengthy and psychedelic mix of their distinct Britpop style. I am happy that even at his length it doesn't feel overly streched or unfocused. The song just continues through different phases and it is pretty pleasent to listen to even if I am not the biggest fan of the song itself. It's good and a nice finale to this album but nothing too crazy. favourites: Don't Look Back in Anger, (Champagne Supernova) least favourites: Wonderwall, Roll With It, Some Might Say Rating: decent to strong 4 https://rateyourmusic.com/~Emil_ph for more ratings, reviews and takes

90s Radiohead tribute act. But with annoying vocals.

the best music came on when spotify turned on auto recommendations after the album ended, and The Strokes started playing

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall

I didn't enjoy this. I could appreciate the lyrics and music but the singing just made me happy it was over. He has such a whiny shouting way of singing. I am glad I listened to it so I can say with certainty I am not a fan

Couldn't find any part of any song I really liked.

beautiful

I would definitely listen to this again. Takes me back to middle school for sure!

Ein Album, das eine Generation prägte mit kraftvoller, rockiger und schräger urenglischer Musik. „Wonderwalll“ & „Don‘t Look Back in anger“ sind mit die prägendsten Songs der Mid-90er. Aber auch die anderen Songs des Album können mit diesen beiden Lead-Songs mithalten ohne selber besonders aufzufallen. Ein Geheimtipp ist „She’s Electric”. Das Album ruft einen zurück auf die Oase in eine Zeit ohne Smarte, Hater und virtuellen Wichtigtuen.

TO DAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY THATTHEREGONNATHROWITBACKTOYOU.

Easy 5 stars. Honestly a perfect rock album. I had been thinking I liked their debut more but after relistening I do think this one is slightly more polished overall. I’m handing out another perfect score, I mean when cast no shadow and she’s electric are your weakest songs on the album that’s pretty absurd. It’s even crazier when you consider how good their B sides are that didn’t even make it. I think I’m around 5 perfect scores after about 450 albums. Rating: 5.0

Hugest bait right off the bat While I'd say they are one hit wonders, it's still a good album. I just don't use the word "wonder" lightly Wonderwall is wonderful, I wonder what all the hate is about

Enjoyable but not anything more than that

Na

Wasn't a fan. Half the time it sounded like it was recorded in someone's garage with the garage door open.

hell yeah love this album ##seeing oasis next year

There's a reason that this album has long been considered the zenith of the 90s brit pop movement. That being said, it's grown stale with age, and the constant jokes about first year guitar students.

better than I remember ;-)

3.75/5

One of the most impressive things this album does is make Wonderwall not feel overplayed in the context of the album. There are a couple of stinkers, but for the most part this album has some all time bangers, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, and Champagne Supernova especially. A lot of great melodies throughout. Champagne Supernova is one of the best closers of all time, I just love the solo/outro section. Low 5

Never heard of them.

ÅHHHHHHHH jag har väntat på det här albumet, ett till av mina favoritalbum NÅGONSIN!!! Detta är verkligen så sanslöst fantastiskt sjukt galet magiskt magnifikt spektakulärt ofattbart mmmmmm tagga inte ha råd med biljetter till oasis reunion tour nästa år😍😍😍 fannn vad jobbiga de där grabbarna ska vara, göra så bra musik och sen vara så sura och svåra. Men ojojoj vad detta har sentimentalt värde för mig, en sån cd mamma blastade i bilen sedan så länge jag kan minnas. Morning glory brukade vara min favorit när mamma skjutsade hem mig på lågstadiet 😋😋 ja och när ska vi komma över att wonderwall spelats sönder och inse att den på riktigt är jättebra 😁 don't look back in anger förtjänar också allt den fått. Men alla låtar är så himla underbara jag vill tatuera in det här albumet i mina öron. Some might slay är så beautiful 💋 Fattar att alla inte älskar liams röst men jag gör det 💘 och noel bara köttar mästerverk i låtverkstan mmm vilken drömkombo de är🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 jajajaaja jag älskar oasis musik är allt jag vill säga och detta albumet är ju lätt ett album alla borde få lyckan att höra innan man dör 🙌 mina favoritdagar på högstadiet var när det släpptes en unreleased oasis-låt bästa bästa bästa, några av mina absoluta favoritlåtar i världen: champagne supernova, cast no shadow, hello

Not a fan of Oasis Few people sound so much like they need to be punched in the face like the Gallagher Bros do. Their 2(2.5???) hits off this album got so much overplay when they came out, it is difficult for me to listen to them. The album is fine, I feel bad for the rest of the band having hitched their stars to these two insufferable pricks. I hope they made enough money that they never have to deal with them again.

I get what the hype. There were a couple of top-notch songs in there. But the second half dragged something awful.

3.1

some classics, but quite a few of the tracks are just kinda boring

Surprised myself how much I enjoyed this. I still think the production is horrible and Liam sounds like a foghorn especially on the supposedly tender Wonderwall. But I like how it is music that is designed to be sung along to. I think that's one of the things people love about them. In our post religion atomised society they offer a rare opportunity for communal singing. A shame how much they've just shamelessly profiteered off that but it's still there despite what a pair of arseholes they are.

At first I thought, "This is just OK." And I didn't want to deal with an entire album of Liam Gallagher's voice. (One person said "Liam Gallagher makes whining work.) So I turned it off and went on with life after "Wonderwall." Over coffee this morning, started in again, just to be fair. "Hey Now" hooked me in. From there it was pure enjoyment. Even looping back around to the earlier songs. Maybe it's the coffee. Maybe it's the morning (I mean, right?). Maybe the album is really good after all.

Pretty great. Definitely has Beatles vibes of course. Very listenable. No doubt why it was a hit. This could come out today and it would still be a hit or it could have come out in 1968. Too bad the brothers couldn’t get along. A few more albums like this and they would have been the band of the decade.

All the stars. No bad songs. Nearly perfect album. Although the titular song should be the opener

bien pero nada no pegamos creo 7/10

Solid album a lot more filled out than the last one. A lot of classics on it

Some of Oasis more notable and enjoyable hits, a very enjoyable listen. Anyway, there's Wonderwall.

The same review as the previous Oasis album. Yep that was a range of sound waves that entered and bounced inside my ear hole and made my brain go “Mmmm music

Pre good, better than the first. Absolute classics on here with the go to acoustic guitar party song and the imagine rip off. But I really didn’t near to hear 2 Oasis albums back to back after 2 weeks of only rock albums

An improvement on the previous one, songwriting is spot on but Liam’s voice is so fucking wingey, maybe give Noel a shot mate fuckin’ hell LADS LADS LADS

I never knew that this album was so incredibly long. I'm sad to say that this was almost 3 hours of the same exact song on repeat. I've heard so many good things about this one, too.

Aye right in time for the reunion tour! This could’ve consisted of 12 Wonderwalls and it still would’ve been a five for me.

Meh

To be honest, I enjoyed this album way more than I than I thought I would. Solid 90s alt rock with plenty of catchy hooks, hits throughout the record. Morning Glory was probably my favorite track. Downside is it does start to kind of run together after a while, but sometimes that’s okay.

Brit pop either opens your eyes to possibilities and is amazing or is extremely mid there's no in between

I was a 13 year old white britsh male in Lancashire when this came out. This was my moon landing. Definitely Maybe had set my world alight and this follow up was seeing them off to Mars. Im unable to give an objective review of this as i could sing every word whilst asleep 29 years later. Wonderwall, some might say, champagne superrnova, dont look back in anger, shes electric and cast no shadow are genuinely classics and the fact thats more than 50% of the album shows its quality. I think it falls down when Liam is asked to use his higher register. The 'Roll with it' hook grates me immensely and this happens in a few of them. I prefer the first album, the band members turned out to be pricks and they never really progressed from this sound. But they were ontop of the world for a while and this shows why

Really surprised how much I enjoyed this album. I had no explored to Oasis other than a few radio hits and hearing they are insufferable assholes. The hits are amazing and the rest of the album is a mix of indie rock and pop.

I only like Wonderwall. This album was a bit less whiny than the other Oasis album though, so I guess I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. There are some decent melodies.

I mean, it's catchy, but not impressive or versatile in anyway. It's very bland one-note ear candy. Not exactly a shocker that AI can easily churn out Oasis songs 🤷

5 bloody stars and I won't hear any different.

Нормально, не особо зацепило

Good stuff. Glad for a reunion

I don't like this. I understand they are popular. But I don't like them.

3.5 rounded up

Venga, un 5 porque hay que tener este vinilo, es un clásico del indie, aunque soy más de Blur.

A Wonderwallt leszámítva mindegyik szám tetszett – attól még nem lesz kedvenc, mondjuk, mert a mindennapjaimba továbbra sem implementálnám.

Pretty good 90s rock album. Good for casual listening but also could dive into lyrics.

Good album, important milestone in britpop

This is appropo to the times.

Britpop which for me is the Definition of alternative Rock, e.g. the well known song Wonderwall. Got stuck here for a week relistening a couple of times always omitting the rating.

I love groups that come out of the gate with such definitive, iconic, and genre & era-defining albums with their first release. It’s like seeing a unicorn in the forest; it just doesn’t happen. The old guard music industry was you got a three record deal to allow for an artist or band at least one album to grow and define their sound. Oasis? Nope! They knew exactly what they were from the jump with Definitely Maybe a year earlier, such confidence. I’m not so sure they knew they’d then go from that explosion out the gate to then create one of the best albums of the 90s that still resonates a quarter century later. If Dedinitely Maybe was all bombastic rockers, Morning Glory gives more flavors of sounds including ballads so it’s the stronger release to me…just slightly.

now i understand why the brazilian milleniums sacrificed twitter for the oasis comeback

One of the best albums so far. Wow!

While I can recognize the cultural significance of this album, they are just insufferable.

Not bad, but I don't understand why they got the biggest out of all the brit pop bands. Must be more about the drama than about the music. It's quite samey and especially the singing is really not very good. Sounds as if the singer doesn't like the music. Massively overrated. Favorite song: she's electric.

Terrific album - their best one

No amount of mediocre Wonderwall covers by "guy who picks up an acoustic guitar at a party™" can downplay how solid this album is. Banger after banger, yes even Wonderwall, especially Wonderwall. Shame they made absolute sloppa after this.

Overplayed but genuinely very good album. 4.5

Amazing fucking album. This would be in my top ten albums for the 90s and definitely my favorite of the brit pop albums. It has one banger after another. 5 stars for sure!

Slăbuț , doar vreo două piese bune, nu l-as mai asculta niciodată în întregime - și nici măcar piesele alea nu le-aș salva în "favorite"

Some iconic 90s song but nothing so original. I’d give it 3 1/2 stars but the system does r work that way.

Honestly a very fun album to listen to. Cannot deny it's influence and importance in pop culture. It's definitely more than just Wonderwall.

Trevor, play fucking Oasis

Great album front to back! Interesting timing from the "random" generator.

never listened to a whole album of theirs. love the hits.

just strting, idk what i getting myself into

As bland as I remember it. Never understood the appeal.

Listening to Oasis is like shoving saltine crackers down my ear. By all accounts, I should love this album as an unashamed Britpop apologist, but it's like there's an evil demonic spirit hovering above these songs as I listen to them. It's not bad actually, but I still feel like I lost 5 years off my lifespan. Curse you, Gallagher brothers. NEXT DAY EDIT: They just teased an Oasis reunion, what the hell is happening.

When this came out, I felt like I had walked into a room at the tale end of a joke - I didn’t get it. Still don’t - the band does pretty well musically but Liam Gallagher has such a nasally annoying voice I remain baffled at Oasis’ success and continued popularity. All these five star reviews have me mightily flummoxed.

There's a bit of the Glitter Band's "Hello" on here. Every time it gets listened to, a paedophile gets royalties. And I'm not even sure that's the worst thing about this record. Ugh. It's the English Rock Defence League's favourite album. Gone is the energy that covered up for the derivative lifts from the Beatles, and on with the interminable plod that would define the rest of their career. This is the album that people who don't like music own to show they're not complete bores. If your favourite song is Champagne Supernova, you are probably a husk of a personality wrapped in meat, whose idea of living life to the full is visiting the gym three times a week and saving up to visit an emirate where they execute their gays. If you gave this five stars, stop now. You don't like music. You like interviews where Noel says "Yeah, witticism about hating Liam, and yes, things were better in the old times when we used to watch the lads kick a black person into a coma after the match." If this is the pinnacle, let's let climate change wipe out the human race. We suck.

Love this!

Top

Some really good songs, I prefer when thekr rock hits hard

Id rather stick a needle in my ear than listen to these assholes

82% Fav: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova Least: N/A Must-Hear? Sure

Hahaha, fuck no. Garbage. Straight trash homie

Probably suffers a bit from “Seinfeld is Unfunny” syndrome since it spawned so many imitators and “Wonderwall” has become so closely identified with douchebags with guitars. But it still rocks, even though it sounds a little generic now.

It's fine? it's Oasis

I really like this album 5/5

Hard to disentangle nostalgia from my love for this album. I just love it. It has feeling, good lyrics, and transports me back to my teenage years.

Fantastic album.

Solid

Noteworthy songs - 808080808 Magical Dream - Kinda catchy synth, but the rest is bland. Ancodia - Good background noise. Cobra Bora - Actually kind of cool, reminds me of Bomberman Hero. Pacific 202 - N64 vibes, but melody isn't great. Donkey Doctor - Nothing too special, weird ending. 808080808 - Really cool beginning. A little slow in the middle but stays interesting enough. Sunrise - Nothing remarkable. The Fat Shadow - Eerie. Very short.

i wonder what it's like being the other guys in oasis. do you hang around and just do your job while watching noel and liam murder each other with vox ac30s? this has a much bigger sound than definitely maybe, probably because this is about what happens once you've made it - you're no longer plunking your way through rock songs in the garage but playing to massive stadiums. the tension isn't just between the brothers but between oasis and the long shadow of the beatles. it's anxiety of influence: the album (although if you played this to harold bloom it would've given the poor dude a seizure)

Just a banger of an album. Bunch of classics and a cohesive package overall.

Nice!

Excellent

Q - why does liam gallagher always order the soup? A - YOU GET A ROLL WITH IT

Solid!

This album kind of sucks. It's somewhat saved by the songs Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, but only barely.

My teenage ass had Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova on LOOP. And while I’ll probably continue listening to those songs for the rest of my life, they have a cheeseball factor about them now. The rest of the album is just okay. Sometimes I love a whiney song, but a whole album gets exhausting.

This is an easy 4 for me. Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Cast No Shadow are all great songs. The rest of the album is solid and keeps up the momentum, but aren't as powerful.

Fun album with lots of iconic songs.

The songs were decent. This singers voice was not.

Top-tier 90’s Brit Rock.

Songs go on too long and end up...making you forget what you were going to say I guess. Definitely maybe a little better than Definitely Maybe.

If you're team Blur, not team Oasis, I just know you're an absolute insufferable prick

Reminded me of the Beatles which made it hard to enjoy because i had to force myself out of, but there were a lot of really good songs. Morning Glory was by far my favorite.

I’m no fan of Oasis at all. During the big “Oasis or Blur?” debate of the 90’s - I had my feet firmly in the camp of Blur. That’s still the case, even though nobody talks about it anymore. I find Oasis limited as musicians, Liam’s voice, while unique, isn’t the best. Noel’s songwriting can be fairly derivative of The Beatles and his guitar playing doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. But I can’t really deny this album is a perfect work to represent the Britpop movement that swept the world in the 90’s; and it has also aged incredibly gracefully. The pop sensibility on display is actually pretty astounding. And almost every track is an absolute banger to the point you could tell someone who hasn’t listened to Oasis that this is a greatest hits compilation and they’d believe you. So as I said - I’m no fan of this band whatsoever. But I’m not going to deny a fantastic LP when I hear one. In this 1001 (or 1089) album challenge, ‘…Morning Glory’ gets my first perfect 5/5 rating.

A great album. I particularly enjoyed listening to Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger again. 5/5

5/5

I can see the Beatles influence and why people would say they were going to be the "Next Beatles", but they don't quite reach that level. Good album though.

sorry I'm team blur, can't stand it

Great album. Songwriting is A1 and I love Liam gallagher’s voice. Every song should be a minute shorter tho and the production is super watered down

My CD sounds really bad :’( I’m scared that this means bad things for all my CDs. This album though takes some time to get going. Then it’s the shit.

To loud for me

The finest of a rock and roll band should do. Each song could be a hit, like it was.

This was my first time listening to a whole album from Oasis, and I have to say, GOD DAMN, IT'S LONG (pause). But honestly, it’s a bit too long. I really enjoyed a lot of the tracks—they’re iconic in British rock and you still hear them everywhere. However, I think if the third CD wasn't part of the album, this would have been a solid 5/5.

"(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" is the second album by English rock band Oasis. The songs were focused "in more balladry and emphasis in "huge" choruses with string arrangements and varied instrumentation than their more "rugged" debut "Definitely, Maybe."" The album was produced by Owen Morris and the group's lead guitarist and chief writer Noel Gallagher. The album did very well commercially hitting #1 in the UK and #4 in the US and propelled the band from a crossover indie act to international rock stardom. The album had an initial lukewarm critical reception but is now considered a seminal record in Britpop and the 90's in general. The band starts out rockin' with "Hello." A wah-wah guitar and then layered guitars. Lead singer Liam Gallagher comes out very demonstrative with ragged vocals in "Roll With It." Guitar slashes, acoustic guitar and melodic guitars. It's about being oneself. We see the first use of strings in the massive hit "Wonderall." For me this is the first song I think when you say Oasis. Liam said that song is about an imaginary friend who's going to save you from yourself. Liam also said that their fifth single "Don't Look Back in Anger" is more about looking forward than recalling the past. Beatle-esque earnest piano keys and an electric guitar carrying the melody. Probably Noel's best guitar solo in the middle. Helicopter noises and loud guitar noises open "Morning Glory." No messin' around here, this is the hardest drivin' song on the album. Layered guitars creating a whirling storm. Liam's vocals pressing. Probably my favorite song on the album as well. The album closes with their most ballad of ballads in "Champagne Supervova." Ocean wave sounds open. Paul Weller contributes. For all the ballad talk, it still has an edgy guitar along with Liam's strung-out vocals as he asks "where were you when we were getting high." Another album highlight. This album has melodic song after melodic song. Noel's guitar shines. The accompanied strings are selectively added. For all the mention of "soft" songs, there are a number of rockers too. At start of the album, it's hit after hit, with all of them still getting heavy airplay (at least to the stations I listen to). This album sounded very good today. It has very well constructed songs, is an excellent album and is no surprise that they became a massive band.

Great album. Some great songs on here.

I liked it a lot more than I expected to. Good instrumentation, upbeat, catchy. I've been missing out. Somehow I preferred the less streamed tracks to the big hits. Highlights: Hello Roll With It

After having listened to this I understand why I never followed Oasis earlier at all

I did not pay much attention to Oasis when they rose to fame and so was only familiar with their hits. This album surprised me. Very solid from start to finish. Songs of note include "Wonderwall", "Hey Now", "Some Might Say" and "Round Are Way". Some good covers included as well. Gonna give it a five!

Classic

Not the best Oasis album, but still a banger. 4.5/5

Favourite tracks: hello; roll with it; wonderwall; don't look back in anger; hey now; some might say; she's electric; cast no shadow; morning glory; champagne supernova

hello- ass. 4 roll with it- 3 wonderwall- guys i cant do this. -10 dont look back in anger- 2 hey now- 3. i cant do this anymore the swamp song-

I always disliked oasis, but this was a quiet enjoyable listen to be honest

It was fun listening to the full album but I was never a big fan.

Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Don’t look Back in Anger are all epic!!!! A lot of the rest feels a bit cheesy.

Honestly pretty good. Has held up.

I suppose I'm going against the grain here with this review. I've always thought that Oasis had a good handful of strong singles but also a lot of filler. 'Morning Glory' is their most successful album, so it's a good place to look. 'Wonderwall' is a classic of course and the best song on the album. Oasis are always compared with The Beatles and there is obviously a heavy influence there. But they lack the sheer boldness of Lennon and McCartney. The songs are straightforward and safe. Not necessarily a bad thing, but the Gallaghers are no Beatles in my opinion. Their mastering technique recalls the old Wall of Sound method (which The Beatles did use at the end) and exchanges dynamics for pure loudness. But the effect works and sounds very big. There is a simplicity to Oasis which I suppose helps explain their mass appeal. Undeniably, this is a major benchmark of the 90s and the Brit Pop movement and sold like crazy at its peak. I'm not saying it didn't deserve to sell well but for me, it's far too safe to be that interesting, save a few big tracks.
