Reviews (page 11 of 15)
I haven't listened to this album front to back in about 20 years. I've forgotten how good it is. Knowing how the Gallagher brothers have fared since their rise to fame has tinted how freaking talented they are. 4/5.
Very familiar album. Wonderwall still feels overplayed though I haven’t heard it in years. All the tracks are solid. Very good album
Some songs are classics and certainly hold up. Some songs sound silly to me and I guess there is a place for that but it goes against their persona IMO

Loud cocaine rock - if you’re gonna be rock stars be rock stars. No songs about romance or social issues or reflectiveness or politics. Just cobble some nonsense together, turn it up to eleven, have a ball and look the part whilst doing it. And it works. There’s only a couple of weak tracks on this album and Wonderwall will forever be the song that everyone in the university bar sang along to, whatever their usual taste in music. A moment. Well done, Oasis.
Really like this album. Should listen to oasis more.
Erste Hälfte des Albums ist sehr gut. Die zweite habe ich nicht genau angehört.
Classic
Super fun. I have a lot of good memories from finding this album in secondary school. Definitely a gateway album for me that led me to more distorted and psychedelic music from emo and punk. Nothing too artistically crazy but has a special place in my heart.
I don't think I realized how much of a bias I have towards 90s music. I feel like it must have just made some kind of impression on me from a wee age b/c I haven't really listened to Oasis outside of the hits (which includes more than just Wonderwall on this album) but just really found the whole album enjoyable. Would listen again.
Классика, слушал не раз, но кроме хитов ничего и не помню. В войне фанатов брит-попа нет правых, как и в музыке в целом - есть только любовь к тем эмоциям, которые смогли выразить музыканты той эпохи. Пацанские Оазис не дергают нужные струны, но молодцы в любом случае.
90's Brit Rock encapsulated in an album. The middle tracks leave a little to be desired, but the amount of major hits and impact this had show its status as a modern classic.
Lots of people shit on Oasis, but they know how to make a bunch of anthemic singalongs
Only listen to this a bit. Managed not to get Wonderwall stuck in my head. Score! Great album though.

There are a lot of jokes to make about Oasis, but this is a pretty great album that I have a lot of fond memories of.
3.5 afgerond naar boven
Lekker meekwelen met de hitjes, en de rest is best oké
Ehdotonta eliittiä, omistan levyn myös; 4,5 antaisin jos voisin. Nyt nelkku, Sorry Tuiminho joka fanittaa maasta taivaaseen levyä!
Tämä oli ihan positiivinen ylläri! On tullut karsastettua brittipoppia, jostain tullut sellainen asennevamma aikoinaan, että Oasikset ja muut jäi kuuntelematta. Enempi rokimpaa, kuin mitä olin kuvitellut!
Aanstekelijke rock! Nice :D
90s grunge sound with strong influence from latter years of the Beatles. Very good
The hits are there & overall rocks hard. I kept from a 5 because I think it suffers a little bit from a lot of the stuff in the in-between sounding kinda the same.
Love the hits, rest is good.
Only a meme because it’s actually good. It takes a lot of skill to make hooks out of lyrics this nonsensical. More of a 3.5 but I’ll be generous
It's easy to forget how massive this album was. Some really iconic tracks, but some nonsense too.
The Stone Roses singing Beatles songs. I do love this album.
Brit-pop. 3 superhits.
Great album. Most of the Oasis songs I know are from this album.
Anyway, here's wonderwall
Better than I often remember them to be
loved this album when I was a kid. still holds up.
A few good tracks, nice to hear again after a while.
Some memorable songs on the album. I can hear tones of The Beatles in some of there music...wondering if this part of there appeal in Europe
Great easy listen with some amazing throwback songs
And I thought that wonderwall was going to be the best song on their album, boy was I wrong. Great album, super solid all the way through.
Top 10 albums of the 90s
Pretty good, serene.
Previously liked songs off the album. First time listening to it as a whole. Thought it was great!
Great memories with this one
While a couple of the songs on this album have become jokes because of how overplayed they were back in the day, it's still a really good album. Proving that the most dysfunctional groups put out the best music.
This album is great. Wonderwall is a pretty good song, but not the song this album deserves to be remembered by. "Don't look back in anger" is the true banger, and the finale "champagne supernova" is also really good. Solid album, one of the best I've encountered here so far
Some good classics
3 songs that I will definitely listen to again. Overall enjoyable.
Glad I finally listened to it all the way through. Anyway here's wonderwall
Oasis is the height of 90s British rock
Very recognizable oasis sound. Some good ones on there.
A classic I feel glad to have listened to. What a nostalgic sound that I really enjoy.
My Ex-Wife once asked me to stop playing 'Wonderwall' on loop.... I SAID MAYYYYBEEEE! I owned this album at one point. I liked it then, but it's lost it's appeal. It's still got a couple decent songs though so I'll add Wonderwall, Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova to the playlist. Although I'm sure I'll probably remove Wonderwall at some point.
13/20 ambiance 2000 campus universitaire buddy movie
It pains me to give this a 3
I know I'm a fan of Supernova but I felt the length, maybe just not for me. I'd say 2.5 bump to 5 for the few recognisable. By and large didnt enjoy. Had 2 beers and went for a walk. Maybe just didnt hit right. I am only listening to this once. Side note my girlfriend confirmed that her auntie bought her a record player ahe won't use so excited for that. Luv sic Hexology boyyyy
I loved the first song so I was ready to enjoy the album... but after that one, and aside from the 3 hits I already knew and loved, everything else felt like filler. Boring, repetitive and one of them (some might say) was downright obnoxious by the end. Also the beginning of "Morning Glory" sounds a lot like REM's The One I Love
Meh

This is the quintessence of Britpop and the sound of my youth. It's been so ubiquitous in my life that I will try to judge it based only on the tracks I haven't heard before. The rest are all so well-worn I can't get a true impression of them. What I take from the rest, and I think this would carry over to the big hits, is that they have a very big, maximalist sound, very full, a wall of sound, which stands out in Swamp Song 1 especially. At times it really feels like they are trying to be the new Beatles. I was initially meaning this as a criticism, because I think it is better for artists to find their own styles and own voices, I want fresh takes. But also if you want to make something as iconic as the Beatles, you have to bring your A-game and maybe throw everything at it. So do I like it? Yeah, it's fine, it's good. It has a sense of fun when it's not trying to be the next Beatles, but I can't deny the ambition here. And given how many of these songs because cultural touchstones, even memes, I also can't deny that they succeeded. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
Wasn't expecting to enjoy this at all, so it's been nice. Some really well produced work, more than a couple of standout tracks, a "classic" feel that doesn't necessarily bother me. This has never really been my brand of rock, but at least I'm not making gagging noises, I actually respect it. At times it reminds me of the All American Rejects, but this came first so I start connecting correctly. I was also never a huge fan of Wonderwall, but in the context of this album it kinda goes hard. Still a pretty bland overall experience because of personal bias. 2.8/5
Hhmmm, might get my citizenship revoked here... I've never understood the hype around Oasis. They're treated as some sort of rock royalty, demi-gods of British music. Every grunt or utterance from a Gallagher brother is reported on, analysed and committed to canon. In reality, they are a Pop Rock band with one and a half good albums. This is their good album. There are several bangers on this album, but it's not really a classic for the ages for me. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could, but I'm feeling rebellious, so it gets 3.
So, I have a confession to make: I basically spent most of my adult life ignoring Oasis because I never thought they were cool or hip enough to merit any attention from the underground punk rocker in me. But F me if I didn't sing all of their biggest hits, from "Wonderwall" to "Stand By Me," when I was younger and watching MTV non-stop in the late '90s and early 2000s. I wasn't old enough to care about what these guys were all about, nor what their politics were, but I knew I enjoyed their distorted guitar sound, their pop sensibilities, and their snotty vocals. Something weird happened this year: Oasis reunited and once again became a global phenomenon everywhere I looked. I ate it up and became fascinated with the band all over again. FOMO? Who knows. But I also recalled that Liam Gallagher was kind of an ass, while his brother, Noel, was always cool with me. I immediately put on "Don't Look Back in Anger" and realized why—Christ, it's a great, sincere song! I always thought Noel was the better singer (even Liam has confirmed this), and he basically wrote hit after hit for the band. But, in the end, Oasis were what they were, with Liam providing the rougher voice that helped define the band's sound. As a result, they clearly struck a chord with an entire generation from the '90s onward, while still managing to resonate with younger listeners and beyond. Oasis may not be my favorite band, but this is a great album filled with hits that have just enough power and nostalgia to allow it to still sound fresh and in-your-face even today. The special effects added to the wall of sound and compression (brutal at times, and perhaps an early contribution to the loudness war), as well as the treatment of the vocals, are often hilarious, and sometimes the songs go on forever, especially during the codas. Some of these songs embody the album's most annoying tendencies, such as the ridiculously compressed "Morning Glory" and the way-too-long "Some Might Say." Overall, though, these aspects don't detract from the album's power. "Champagne Supernova," for all the ridicule it gets in alternative music, is a quintessential Britpop classic, taking all of these excesses and turning them into an epic track that gradually evolves over time. The MTV listener in me loves it, that's for sure. Even the other hits, as overplayed as they are, have some real weight to them. I still think this band takes itself too seriously, but that's pretty much the case with any big rock-star band, no? This is a GOOD pop/rock album with distortion, honest themes, and heartfelt lyrics. A lot of you guys on this site need to stop taking music so personally and seriously—sit back and enjoy the ride, as silly as it can be at times. 3.5 stars, only because I prefer the debut a tad more.
I like most things but his singing... Too funny and and unsatisfying
I bought this when it came out. I nearly saw them live the first time around but they pulled out. I still hear these songs almost every week, people I know are still hugely invested in their music but I've moved on. And, really, it's all a bit basic isn't it?
One star for don't look back in anger, and two for champagne supernova. Nothing else really grabs me, and wonderwall has unfortunately long worn out its welcome.
Many childhood listens. It’s nostalgic, but I don’t romanticize this album or band. Solid album with some filler.
it's ok but I'm not a huge fan of this. music kinda drown in itself and I didn't really catch what is going on but in two songs I felt pretty good composition and fullness. overall not mine.
I never really experienced these guys in my teens so I got no nostalgic association with them. As such it’s a mediocre album regardless of the bangers hosted on it.
Objectively a good album, it's just not my favourite x
Ez britpop
Never got the Oasis hype and after listening to this album...I still don't get the Oasis hype. I can appreciate the two big hits on this album (I was even whistling Don't Look Back in Anger later on in my day), but them and the rest of the songs on this album added up to just an ok listening experience. I didn't outright hate anything on this album but after listening to it I still don't understand why this album gets the praise that it does. 3/5
Number: 237 Familiarity: Aware (2) Rating: 3 Before: ======= So I know about Oasis but don't know most of their music as apparently I'm not a big fan since I don't have a single song by them on any of my yearly playlists. Maybe I'll add Morning Glory to my Good Morning playlist. During: ======= The opener sounds familiar. It reminds me a little of I Am Kloot, which is no surprise really as I have had I Am Kloot on the brain lately due to I'm trying to figure out which album I'll add to the user list once I finish with this one, but tbh, I don't think I Am Kloot will make the cut as I'll probably select a group with a female lead since they are woefully under represented in the 1001 list... Anyways on track 2 now and the resemblance to I Am Kloot has waned... OK, I do know track 3, which I like and decide to add to my 1995 list. It will end somewhere near the bottom most likely, once I find a place for it. After: ======= Final assessment is 3. On a song by song basis, my average rating for the whole album came to 3.5. So I could go either way, 3 or 4, but given I have no desire to ever listen to this album again, I'll go with 3. Now on to I Am Kloot.
A lot of it sounds quite generic to me, though it’s hard to assess songs like Wonderwall that were so omnipresent. If only the vocals were less annoying. Standout Tracks: Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova Rating: 3
Underwhelming, can remember when it came out, was a blast back then
it's ok i guess, not a fan of oasis
I've heard about Oasis a LOT throughout my life, and was extremely familiar with Wonderwall (of course) but most of the other tracks on this album were new to me. Interestingly, a few reminded me of works by The Pillows, who I very much enjoy. Don't Look Back In Anger in particular. They didn't blow my mind, but I enjoyed this album quite a bit. It was also interesting to realize that Red Wine Supernova was a reference! I never knew!
Никогда не фанател от Оазиса. Быть может дело в излишней шумности их альбомов, может в манере пения Лиама. Так или иначе даже их самый известный альбом мне не очень-то нравится
3.4 I liked it but oasis is not my favorite. They have a certain vibe i can fw from time to time.
7/10
Not really that good not sure what all the hype has been about this album
Liked!
"hello" its ok but its kinda boring, like its a very formulaic. the fake wonderwall intro is good "roll with it" has a very beatlesque vocal harmony, but the song has the same problem as the previous one, its very formulaic and predictable. im seeing it will not be an album that takes risks "wonderwall" i hate the guitar. i dont like the melotron, i dont even know why they added it. i do like the vocals. the drum sound like the Metallica's st anger pan tone. and i have to add that this song has really pissed me off after listening to it so many times. "dont look bad in anger" i really like the chorus. i like all the instrumental besides the drums, i think all the album is going to have this sound. the verses are good too. "hey now" i like the rhythm it had my leg being a metronome. i think its kind of long, it could be a minute or two shorter. i think has most of the songs in this album its formulaic, but it aint a bad song, just that its kind of the same song after song, waiting for a hit. the interlude is better that wonderwall lol "some might say" i dont wanna repeat myself, but its formulaic and not only that, but all the formulaic songs follow the same formula, which i can see it has reached its peak and its not so high. i also have to add that the whole album has weird lyrics, they're a bunch of nostalgic/sad phrases tossed in a boring instrumental. "cast no shadow" if wonderwall didn't existed this would be the worst song of the album. its, as always, formulaic, but this time it isnt boring, its just annoying. the choirs (the "(ah ah)" and "(pride)") make my ears bleed. "she's electric" i kind of think the rhythm its good but dont feel it. and the rest of the song is boring. the highs of liam in (for example when he says "and i wAnt you to say") are not good sounding. "morning glory" i like the guitar, the rhythm and the vocals, not crazily but its pretty good. when liam says "what's the story morning glory" its the peak of the album. the solo is good. best song of the album as far as now 8,5 or 8 outta 10 "champagne supernova" i like the vocal harmony but not much the mix, i think they're a bit low ( i know britpop has things of shoegaze but still), i like the instrumental but i think the whole shoegaze style of the song its not very well performed by the band, anyways its not a bad song and i like the solo. As a whole the album has a lot of bad things: its very formulaic , repetitive and consequently plain. its a kinda funny album, like it can entertain you but not more, don't try to look complexity or smth interesting in it cause there's nothing. its simple and plain. its not a terrible album tho, it is just mid. between 5-6 outta 10
these boys connected with the collective consciousness, and the universe decided to express itself through them, it's a shame that most of the songs are overplayed to the point of exhaustion blur still better tho
Wow, surprisingly good right off the bat (writing this right as the first song finishes). I awas going into this remembering the brothers´s braggado and unlikability. But their self-esteem translates quite well into these rock anthems. I can see why they gained their status and became the fave band of so many people. I´m glad this has been suggested to me! Some really standout tracks, but I don´t think I´ll be running to relisten that soon.
In terms of albums from 1995, I’m definitely more of a fan of the one from yesterday, but considering I’m not usually into Oasis, this is alright. Favourite track: Hey Now!
Iconic hooks, some cool guitar riffs but I can't stand Liams voice
Pros: has some elements of what made them exciting in the first place. Cons: kind of indicates what's to come for the band. Still solid enough, but carried hard by the highlights. Wonderwall is overplayed as fuck but still a really solid and catchy song, Don't Look Back in Anger is an amazing powerful anthem and Champagne Supernova might be their best song ever. Other than that? Some solid songs, but the production is a big issue. It took a big step down from their debut, the whole album sounds badly mastered. You have songs where the vocals are super loud in an out of place way, on others the guitars feel super buried in the mix. It's not nearly as bad as on their later releases but still bothers me. It's still a pretty good album overall but the lack of attention that some of these songs seem to have gotten is sad.
so bsöff uncs finded das höchsti kunst. wonderwall gid abzüg
i really want to like oasis more but it just sounds so flat, maybe it’s better in a playlist format where it’s not an hour of oasis.
i thought i only knew wonderwall on here but that was i lie i knew every song despite never actually listening to the album before. i understand why it's on this list. very easy listening music.
So…I’d never listened to this full album before but I know it’s generally considered an all-timer by virtually everyone. I know about the frequent rifts between Liam and Noel. I like Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. So I figured I’d be all-in on this album. And…it’s just not necessarily my thing. I certainly didn’t dislike it. Lots of catchy riffs and hooks. But just not something I need to revisit on the whole.
Hard to give an unbiased review since these guys are S-tier twats, and this music was fire-hosed into my brain by virtue of being a teenager when it was released in the 90s, but I guess it's decent enough from a songwriting perspective. I would never choose to listen to it though. Wankers
It's weird to know that a song on this album was dedicated to Richard Ashcroft of The Verve and that a song on A Northern Soul (by The Verve) was dedicated to Noel Gallagher. What are the odds that I'd listen to both albums, and therefore both songs, back-to-back? I'm listening slightly out of order, but still. Anyway, I hate to say this because I know Max HATES Oasis, but I don't really have a problem with this album. I knew several of the songs already, not that that really means anything, but I came in with a neutral-to-positive impression of them that wasn't really tainted by a listen through the whole album. Sorry, Max!
i quite like this album actually.
3/5
I didn't have high expectations going into this album because I'd heard Definitely Maybe and it was a meh. But, I found this a lot more enjoyable. Of course the singles are already well known, and burnt out, but the non singles were listenable enough.
Hey - I like this album, I like their first album too. It's fun - it's just a damn rock and roll album. Sometimes that's more than enough. Does it sound good? Not really, it's a mess. It is what it is, can't go and look back in anger at the mastering/mixing process, but it would get more stars if it was better produced.
I can totally imagine how much this album would have slapped growing up in the 90s and 00s in the UK. It's an album of anthems, that I didn't fully appreciate until listening to it intentionally now. It's still just a 3.5 to me, but like i said, it would have been an easy 5 had I been born in England. 3.5/5 Top tracks: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova
Their better album
Oasis figured out that one song and did it really good
so it turns out that all the oasis songs are on this album. i am conflicted because i do actually like the songs and think they’re good musically etc but my god i can’t stand when he gets nasally/whiny. also if oasis has 0 haters i am dead so i cannot rate higher than this.
esse eu sei quem é só nunca escutei, começou maneiro meu deus atualizaram o spotify eu to muito triste conheço mais músicas
Memes aside it's hard to deny theat Wonderwall is a tune for the ages. A couple of other good songs in the mix but falls short for me
Note
Överlag ganska starkt låtmaterial. Influenser från, Beatles, Stones, T-Rex. Bredbent, ger mig en tom känsla. 3.5
very good walking album, liked the song with the name Sally in it
Ahhh… the battling Gallagher brothers. Takes me back.
Oasis aren't terrible, and neither is this album - some diamonds in the rough. But mostly pretty samey, often pretty boring, and Liam Gallaghers annoying vocals. Their reputation fucks them up cos honestly, how are they so popular? Probs because their diehard fans are the type of bloke whose favourite song is Vindaloo and hasn't listened to anything new since school. 6 / 10 Best track/s: Don’t Look Back In Anger, She’s Electric
I dont like the attitude and the arrogance of the Gallaghers and I would take Blur, Pulp, Suede, Supergrass, etc. over Oasis any time. Totally overrated, imo. The rating is not so bad, cause the album contains my favourite Song by them. Fav: Champagne Supernova
Sounds like music that would be played in a pub but did have some great moments
Good album but inconsistent and a lil too British… for the sake of scaling my ratings, I’m giving this a 3
not my cup of tea but i loved wonderwall and hey now
Alright fine I guess this one's not so bad. Decently enjoyable Fav tracks: Roll With It, Champagne Supernova
Yeah, this one has their hits, and some of the hits are fine. But such a one tone, one note, one sound record, and often cringey as hell lyrics. When they hook, they hook, but this is never as great as people, and Oasis, say. It's also good they save Champagne Supernova for last because the record gets boring and annoying by that point.
The story is always about Len Houmous’ Morning Glory! 3.0 9/12 She’s Electric
Everyone has heard this a million times
Never listened to this album before but I knew some of these songs already. I really enjoy the ones I knew, but the others were ok. So, it didn’t meet my expectations prior to listening to it.
The real difference between a two and a three is kinda just how I'm feeling on that particular day
I'm not a fan of Oasis, but there's no denying a few of these songs are actual bangers.
My opinion of this album for decades: it’s fine.
A: Överraskande bra (Wonderwall borträknat...), skulle fungera extremt bra som function-bakgrundsmusik och/eller städmusik. She's electric var kanske den mest utstickande låten? Och möjligtvis Champagne Supernova. Kanske. 7/10 B: Dom kom på några bra låtar och skallrade på kastruller för att fylla ett album åt dem. Skulle kunna sätta som bakgrundsmusik för en function för att imponera på Sundwall och Aston. She's electric var bra. 6/10 Medeltal: 6,5/10
Never heard this whole album, just Champagne, Subnova, and Wonderwall. It was good overall, but doesn't surpass those two songs.
This album is fine. It's an album that starts strong, falters in the middle with some exceedingly average songs, then picks up a little near the end. If this were just some album put out by some band somewhere, I think it would be easier to simply enjoy it for what it is. Unfortunately, the story of Oasis has become so legendary and grandiose that it's hard not to listen to their recordings without the larger legacy in your mind, and in that regard, I don't know if they've truly released anything that lives up to their infamy. "Roll With It" and "Morning Glory" still slap, though. Anyway...
Classic sounds, but overall okay
Meh.
So laddish
Eeehhhh
Never got the buzz in the 90's. Don't get the buzz now. It's a decent pop record. Don't look back in anger is probably the best song.
Solid a little repetitive but not bad
Singles are great, there is unfortunately some fillers and it could never live up to the hype on release.
Some great songs some just okay. Overall enjoyable enough
It's good but well overhyped.
a few good songs, but so much icky lager rock rubbish
I liked this more than i wanted to. Oasis has a sound and they are truly masters of that sound — straight British rock-pop. The songs are well-constructed and performed. But i don’t like the lead singer’s voice and can’t get by it. He sounds like he’s whining. Some of the songs are good enough that i like them & appreciate them despite the vocalist. But it’s a 3, max.
I honestly don't really have strong opinions or anything truly interesting to say about this album, apart from Liam Gallagher being the singer with most attitude and personality from this movement, even though I don't think it is that incredible. In general, I think this album is just decent. It follows everything that britpop offers : very distorted guitars, catchy melodies and a touch of psychedelia. There isn't anything more to it, and what there is, I don't think stands among other britpop projects I already heard. Actually, I do have a thing to say about this album. Why is it so loud? I had to turn down the volume on this one.
people in the 90's be like: guys they made beatles 2
Wonderwall, don’t Look back in anger, she‘s electric, … Geht schon klar aber kein banger.
Some of the catchiest, most enjoyable music since the Beatles, written and performed by some absolute bell ends. You can tell they love the smell of their own farts, but when they smell like this then maybe they have a point. Simple crowd pleasers for simple crowds. Music that goes down easy. Lowest common denominator sonic junk food. Still fun to indulge in every now and then.
good pop rock, not very innovative. good background music.
i think i just don't like this specific sound of rock and its surrounding genres but its okay because im trying. this one isnt bad fave track: morning glory
ah yes, ignored radio songs. Really dug the closing track!
Not a massive fan of oasis but enjoyed my listen to this. Still feel they’re over hyped for what it is though
it's alright not really my thing
This album has a lot of popular songs. It was very popular. I just don't love it. I don't love Oasis' style I guess. 3.5
solid 3.5
Another album which was just meh to me. I put on the album and never really noticed any of the songs other than a couple were ones I had heard on the radio in the 90's when this group was popular. I wasn't moved by their music in the 90's and I'm still indifferent to their music. Best song, "She's Electric" or maybe, "Cast No Shadow".
It’s alright but overrated as hell. Just about gets three stars
too long
It's the numbing guitar riff heaven of Definitely Maybe but turned up to the extreme, however the songwriting is not as spicy to me.
I liked some songs of it.brings me back to the 90s.
Still not an Oasis fan.
Nothing to say about it.
Ouais c’est pas mauvais mais bon. J’aime pas. Cocasse je trouve le son Morning Glory inaudible.
We all know the hits. I define an album by whether I want or need this in my record collection. I would never put this on the turntable because it's just been overplayed. When they toured last year I was like, yeah, no. While (What's the Story) Morning Glory? is now considered a cornerstone of the 1990s, its initial reception was notably lukewarm (rightfully so), with many critics dismissing it as a derivative or "unimaginative" follow-up to their debut. Mid but not horrible. Somewhere between a 2.8 and 3.2 for me.
A defining album of the 90s, and "Wonderwall" is a staid earworm that I'll never not be happy to sing along to. But for some reason, every time I listen to this album, I grow less impressed. I don't have a solid reason for not loving this, but I just don't. Maybe it's a hype thing. There are some bangers, obviously. But I don't think it deserves its place on the mantle.
It had some bangers, but mostly things I'd be fine never hearing again.
A classic. Very nostalgic, my dad used to play this all the time during the 2010s.
I missed the boat on Oasis as a kid, the Brit pop power revival was huge in the UK, and I missed them. This one starts with bangers and I can’t hate it too much, don’t look back in anger in so good. It is crazy listening to this and recognizing so many of the songs. I do think it missed its really hipster stage, because this would have fit right in. It does have Wonderwall, so for that alone it must be put to death. But who cares what the critics say; as Don Draper would say, that’s what’s the money is for.
yea
fuckin wonderwall man (6.9/10)
Pretty chill, i like the vibes, it feels like the kind of record you put on to go on a long drive. I love the nostalgic feel to it!
second-rate, sloppier beatles for rowdy people. fun and easy to jump around to. i like liam’s voice, it’s very rhythmical, yet there’s something acrid to it. the guitar is nice too but i’ve heard nicer. i like roll with it, wonderwall (obviously), and don’t look back in anger. sadly the rest of the songs didn’t leave much of an impression on me and some i found repetitive and wished they would end. i always have a hard time figuring out if i like oasis or not. i’m sure this is their best album and the only one i would listen to, however infrequently.
The hits here are great but I just feel there's too much filler in between
Not a fan of the vocals on this and I must've heard these songs hundreds of times. Another one of those albums where everyone is guaranteed to have memories associated with at least one of the songs. Don't think I'll consciously choose to listen to this album again, given how often I hear Oasis in day to day life here in the UK. It's pop, it's culturally significant, but it's also nothing special in my opinion.
I think Oasis is a Small Doses Band. One song in a mix? Cool. Twelve songs in a row? I was swearing under my breath after track 8. All of their songs sound very similar to my ears, it got tedious.
I enjoyed the hits and a couple more, but there was too much reverb/distortion for my taste.
wonderwall
I loved the 90s when the 90s were happening. But as I am rediscovering with this list (that seems to be dominated by 90s albums) is that a lot of it, just feels dated and tired. Been there, done that, got the tshirt. I really enjoyed this album once upon a time when I owned it on compact disc. I am feeling with this album, much like Alanis Morissette, a few weeks back. It was a nice re-visit, but have no reason to ever listen to this again.
It was back in the day, Summer, 1995, the weather was nice. It was the time of the Britpop Wars. I liked this album when it came out, but listening to it now makes me cringe a bit. Back then I noticed, and now I really notice, that the lyrics kind of don't make any sense. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to fully get them. The music is nice at least. Overall this album is OK. Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova are definitely catchy as hell though.
Asi que de aqui salio Wonderwall. Dont look back in anger tambien la he escuchado, me parece mejor que wonderwall. Son 3 discos?! que largo. The swamp song horrible sonido al inicio D: Champagne supernova tambien la conozco Le tuve que bajar el volumen a ratos, no es para escuchar con dolor de cabeza
I liked it quite good not my fav but I liked wonder wall and all
fun!
This is another one I've never understood the hype for. It's fine.
If I was a 90's british bloke, would love to drive a convertible with the loml besides me blasting this album through the speakers. Otherwise, kinda mid. Don't look back in anger & Champagne Supernova joyitas tho.
3 1/2
This was better than I thought it would be. Believe it or not, it is the first time I've listened to this through.
the highs are really fucking high but there’s definitely some mid on this.
fui generoso
“…Don’t look back in anger…” perhaps the Gallagher brothers should heed their verse.
Love the classics, enjoyed some of side 2, but the rest just seems so pedestrian to me. Can’t deny that it’s pretty fun stuff tho.
so let me be clear. i tried to like this album when i was in highschool. i was growing into my indie alt phase and i wanted to be “quirky” and “different” and “like oasis” so i listened to this album while walking my dog multiple times. it never grew on me. i just don’t really like it. do i know most of the songs, yeah i do. but do i like the album, no i don't. it just feels like the beatles told the gallagher brothers what to do to be a successful boy band and they followed their advice but only 75% so it just kinda flops for me. it’s just.. mid. but champagne supernova slaps.
Now i know where Wonderwall came from
Meh Overrated But at the time was an alright album
Heh
There is no way to talk about this album without generational bias, especially since it Wonderwall was such a huge hit. Note: I always found it annoying. I have actually grown more appreciative of it the older I’ve gotten and before my deathbed may even acknowledge its cultural importance. Champaign Supernova, on the other hand, I always liked. It was a flowy, jubilant celebration of life, with a little chosen Euphoria mixed it. Listening to the entire album was new for me. Some songs hit (Roll With It); some songs missed (the wall of sound on Some Might Say needed to be torn down). Overall, this album is a classic of the 1990s. There it shall stay.
I was really disappointed when I went back and listened to this album. I remember really loving it when it came out, and in hindsight, it's really a bit boring and trite. I wish I could listen to it with my 1995 ears again.
It's been a long time. Probably going to be another long time.
Took me right back to high school
some classics
ur my wonderwaaaaalll
I enjoyed. Would listen to a few songs outside this. Pretty good. Almost 4?
Did not like nearly as much as definitely maybe
My ears hurt. Anyway here's wonderwall
This was exciting when it was released. Usually, when I hear an album that made an impression on me many years ago, I remember how I felt, and still feel come of the old excitement. This one, though, just has me wondering what I ever saw in it. It's really dull. Roll With It is the only track of any real interest.
there are some solid tracks on this that got played the fuck out and now they just can't hold a candle. I also really hate these two guys. Their ego just ruins it. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
Purty good.
Je suis 100% CONVAINCU qu’on m’a déjà généré cet album avant, j’y mettrais mon pied en feu (ou kek chose de même). Je comprends toujours pas comment Oasis a battu Blur, surtout si cet album est leur Magnum Opus. Osti que j’ai eu Wonderwall dans tête toute la soirée, c’est un hit, je peux leur donner ça, mais reste est très peu aventureux et très très moyen si je puis me le permettre. Au moins c’est leur dernier de la liste, ça me console - Cyril, j’ai écrit ma réponse, check il y a à peu près deux semaines (je me souviens pu de l’album)
Nooit echt mn ding geweest, ik kan het gwn niet opbrengen om hier bijzonder positieve gevoelens bij te hebben. Tuurlijk, de meezingers dronken meeblèren is heerlijk maar ik heb nooit een Oasis nummer voor mezelf aan gezet. Hello is een nice nummer maar vind ik eigenlijk ook weer niet echt klinken als een opening track maar oke dat zijn details.
Replay yes.
3 massive hits but others are just okay they try to hard to sound like the Beatles 3.5
A very good first half of the album that was very fun listening to with 2 very famous songs, however the second half really dragged and was quite a slog to get through and really hurt the listening experience
Alright.
i feel like everyones listened to this at one point in their lives
10 year old me would have confidently told you this album was the pinnacle of human achievement. I must have listened to it 1000s of times back then. Pure nostalgia.
Like a Cheryl Crow album except without Cheryl Crow. A very good album, but in terms of opening new territory or doing something very interesting, nothing going on. They are very good at a sound that is not particularly unique.
Not sure why, but this one didn’t stand the test of time for me. Really loved it when it first came out.
3⭐️/5 [03.01.2026] 03.02.2026
Oueisis. Semmosta brittipoppia, mieluummin kuuntelee kun turpaansa ottaa.
I used to think the Gallaghers were just two massive wankers and to be fair, they probably still are, but damn if they don’t make killer albums. This one’s great.
too many songs, some good
Meh. It doesn't really hang together as an album. The famous song is great, and cast no shadow was interesting, but didn't blow me away.
I’m glad I listened to this because I think I have a better understanding of my antipathy to Oasis. So, like, the song writing is fine and it’s catchy and all but it’s still Brit-pop with all the depth of a puddle. The problem comes with how deadly serious they took/take themselves and their music. It’s fine and that’s it. In other cases like MJ we have to ask if we can separate the art from the artist. For Oasis I ask if can I be bothered separating the art from the artist and the answer is a resounding not really. 3 stars
Me parece un buen disco pero por algún motivo hay algo de oasis que no me termina de conmover.
kinda cool for rolling into a random concert but not smth i’d listen to
The way Liam Gallagher sings make it sound like he is constantly sneering or smirking. My favourite song on this album is the only one sung by Noel...hmmm...I wonder why that is. Wrong...it is because the singing is no good on the other ones.
gostei, relembrei daquela musica wonderwall, fiquei feliz em escutar denovo wonderwall - pode se referir a alguem q te ajuda e da apoio, foi isso q entendi
This is a solid album with a number of great songs. Don’t look back in anger is a fav. I’m between a 3 and a 4 on this - 3 because it’s had its day and not something I listen to all that often. 3/5
full disclosure.....did not finish listening liked better than expected.... mid/high 3 prob
idk mannn its like wonderwall is soo good but the rest is soo mid
I didn't realize until listening to the album that the Gallaghers sing and play guitar with the same oowAAhh tone. If that makes sense. A 90s nostalgia album with a Beatles influence, especially on Don't Look Back In Anger. Also similar to the Beatles in that the song lyrics are "open to interpretation."
You can hear a very strong Beatles influence; I liked the hits the most ("Wonderwall"; "Don't Look Back in Anger"; "Champagne Supernova")
Starts well enough, reaching the peak early with Don't Look Back in Anger, but after that, there's too much mediocrity. 3/5
Beatles lite
I haven't heard of this artist before, listening to the album though I liked a lot of their songs, and even saved a few more after finishing the album. I'll definitely be looking up this artist again!
This is an album that really needs historical context as it was peak Britpop. It hit that mid 90s zeitgeist. Indeed my own affection for this album purely defined by where I was and what I was doing in 1995. But revisiting this album in 2026 did it no favors. This is mid-tier Britpop at best. Completely overrated slop from twin douchebags. Plus for something that's supposed to be a kind of modern arena rock, it's week. The guitars sound thin and the overall production feels treble-y. Do these guys hate bass? My nostalgia is the only thing keeping me from giving it 2 stars. Or 1.
some good hits, not for me long run
Du pop rock britannique des années 90 dans toute sa splendeur. Pas vraiment mon truc, mais c’est plutôt bien et il y a vraiment des passages qui m’ont vraiment beaucoup plu, mais sur un album entier, c’est pas trop mon truc.
Might've heard a tune or two from this album already. Just here or there. Very British sounding. Enjoyable, nothing too special. Wonderwall lowkey mid as fuck but still fun. Wait lotsa hits from here. Damn. This is fun. Yeah good but kinda unremarkable outside of the hits. Me when I cast no shadow. Favourite: Champagne Supernova Least favourite: Swamp Songs
GOING IN: Not fussed really LISTENED WHILE: getting ready for work FAMILIARITY: Know a few songs SKIP RATE: Skipped the odd one REPLAY VALUE: Once was plenty DISCOVERY CURVE: Warmed up nicely ALBUM ARC: Pretty even, consistent VERDICT: Better than expected BODY'S VERDICT: Decent head wobble FAVOURITE TRACK: My Rating: 3 I've always detested these guys, but they sure know how to make an earworm tune. Stuck in my head all day. Bastards.
Undeniably has some bangers but can get a bit samey.
1. très cool intro 2. très très bon, lyrics, sonorité : OUI! 3. classique … 4. Un poil long mais bon tt de même 5. ok 6. / 7. Un peu plus hard, cool sans être exceptionnel 8. plus chill, cool 9. très sympa 10. catchy !! 11. / 12. bon dernier son Dans l’ensemble bon, aucun son vraiment en dessous 3/5
A couple of solid songs here, the rest sound like the rest. This album makes a lot of Top 100 album lists, but not mine.
Seems like a fun band to have seen live, but a bit of a tiresome album.
The fivesome certainly delivers with its moody britpop that it has become ubiquitously known for. It somewhat stands up to the test of time (30 years later at the time of this writing) but it's a bit too dreamy for this listener. It seems this is the bands most critically acclaimed album. I'll leave this one with a 3.5 rounded down. There were moments of "Huh, this is pretty good." during the more rocking tracks like Hey Now! and Morning Glory but mainly I'm left, yet again, simply "whelmed". Musings not attached to the review: Upon release it was quite impactful. So impactful that it has become "Retail-Core", the dreaded genre that I think all bands and music acts hope to never be....In a way, one becomes retail-core by their ubiquitous popularity. So therefore, in a way, being categorized as retail-core means the band has become the pinnacle of success....
I don't know what to say about this album. The songs I'm most familiar with, "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" are fantastic. The others sorted faded into the background. I listened to the entire album twice and it didn't make a difference. So, in it's entirety the album is okay with spots of greatness.
It was decent at the time.
3.5
I'd never listened to an Oasis album before, and was pleasantly surprised to find the music different from all the thuggish tabloid exploits I knew them for.
"Don't Look Back In Anger" is my favorite on this album. "Wonderwall" is the worst, of course. I cannot believe I haven’t escaped the fate of having a guy mediocrely sing that song to me on guitar even in fucking Romania. You are not safe anywhere from a mid white guy with curly hair, a guitar, and a hell of a lot of audacity. I fucking hate britpop. What’s all the fuss with these guys? I’m not British, thank all the gods, so I don’t get it. It’s just so bland. Gallagher whatever his name is, I couldn’t be bothered to look it up, has such an annoying voice. God do I hate it. Almost four stars as an overall rating for what exactly? Why? Nostalgia? This stuff wasn’t popular in my country, so I genuinely have no idea why people like it so much. Until recently I thought Oasis was a one hit wonder type of band. I’ve only ever heard Wonderwall, each time against my will. As I was saying, it’s not a popular band in Eastern Europe, I guess. I’m halfway through the album and didn’t even notice. Everything just blends together into an endless nothingness. This feels like it has no substance. Nothing interesting. Nothing noteworthy. I honestly can’t wrap my head around why and how this is such a big thing. I’m genuinely puzzled. It's far from the worst thing I've heard in my life, but it's just so average? Seeing that it is so praised in the reviews I though it was gonna be something groundbreaking.
Not my style, personally, but there were some really good songs in this one. Overall pretty good!
I previously said I thought this one was better than Definitely Maybe since it was already on here. And I think that's right now that I listened to this again. It's not a lot better. But a little better at least. Still giving it the same star rating since its not a full star better.
Solid
Three good songs and 9 fillers that all sound the exact same.
Did nothing for me, but nice regardless
It was all right. A lot more rock sounding than I expected.
Morning glory is better than wonderwall
It seems like I should like this more than I do, but I Oasis isn’t my favourite. Very nasal? Don’t Look Back in Anger is a great song though.
cada música aqui é tão característica, posso ouvir em qualquer lugar e saber de onde vem, mas isso acaba soando repetitivo demais. eu não gosto da voz do liam, mas don’t look back in anger me impede de dar uma nota menor.
I was honestly really excited to listen to this because Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova have absolutely stood the test of time for me I’ve basically been casually listening to them for almost 25 years at this point. But as a full album this leaned more straight up Brit rock than my personal taste, and I could really hear the heavy Beatles influence throughout, which I think is why the rest didn’t totally land for me. I also swear Oasis knew they struck gold with Wonderwall because a few other tracks have that same dreamy string vibe and I kept thinking, “wait… is this Wonderwall?” Overall, this felt more like a greatest hits listen than an album I’d return to front to back. My standouts: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Talk Tonight
Pretty standard rock/pop album. It's decent. Nothing really stands out except Champagne Supernova. What a fantastic song, and the perfect choice for a closing track. 3/5
Surprisingly Oasis was one of the popular mid-90s alternative bands I didn't really get into. Perhaps their radio presence on near constant rotation was enough to slake my curiosity. Listening now to this album I see I didn't really miss much. The radio singles are familiar (was surprised that a 7:20 Champagne Supernova became a radio hit). None of the non-singles really caught me and overall met but didn't exceed what I expected an album of Oasis songs to sound like.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall... I don't hate it. I don't particularly like it either. The best I can do is - I don't mind, but I highly doubt I'll put it on again. And please, don't make me listen the 4CD remastered 2h 45min version of it.
Too loud but some songs were okay.
3.5
I like the hits, particularly with or without you
I am supposed to not enjoy this type of music but like it was kinda alright in the grand scheme of things. Early 2000s music I physically reject most of the time but I felt music actually enjoying this in parts. Likely wouldn’t return to this but it was fun!
Some of these songs are still inescapable thirty years later and I might be downrating it a bit because they are so overplayed. On the other hand, I was quite lukewarm about them at the time as well.
Apparently I've never listened to the whole album, just the top songs. Really liked the opening song "Hello". Album in total became a little repetitive of a sound, but was still good.
not real my vibes personally there were good rock aspects but it didn’t grab me in
There are for sure some classic moments on this album, and some serious hits outside of just the singles too. The opener “Hello” rips and starts the album off strong. What follows is a bunch of fun, jammy rock songs that only moderately show their obvious Beatles influence. Is it a perfect album, though? Absolutely not. I really can’t stand “Wonderwall” anymore, and I find “Some Might Say” pretty annoying honestly. It all culminates with “Champagne Supernova”, thought, I think is still the strongest song by far, so at least things end on a high note.
This isnt exactly my type of music, to me it feels a bit more like sound and less clear melodies. I think the lyrics were ok but i guess im just not the biggest fan of men’s voices when singing usually. I don’t know if i have a favorite song, they were all sort of equal Im gonna rate it a 3 but it might be more like a 3.5
Weird I get an Oasis album a couple of days after a Blur album. It was alright, I don't think Britpop is really my genre
Maybe...you're gonna be the one that saves me...
Very Louis Tomlinson vibes or more like lou is a lot Oasis vibe Rating: 7/10
It has some truly great songs, but the rest is just ok
ok i lowkey hate oasis, both their music and the people in it, i just find it soooo derivative of the beatles, but this wasnt horrible! i enjoyed a couple of songs. - 7/10
Wasn't a massive fan, didn't feel like interesting happened and nothing stood out for me. It was enjoyable at least.
fairly good britpop record 3.5/5 not very memorable but not bad
I own this album, but it has been a very long time since i listened to it because unfortunately you couldn't go anywhere in the UK without hearing songs from this album when it first came out, and I have had zero desire to listen to it since. A bit of a weak start with hello and I was never really a big fan of Roll with it. You have to give some merit to Wonderwall and Don't look back in Anger despite them being absolutely played to death. Some might say (sandwiched between a few mediocre songs) is ok, if you ignore that 70s rock intro. I remember quite liking She's Electric at the time, but found it a bit lacking now. The album ends well with Champagne Supernova. Standout track: Bizarrely, probably Some might Say or champagne Supernova. It has been quite interesting listening to this after all these years. It is not remotely at the same level as the debut album (which I gave a 5). In fact, I felt it was rather weak compared to it. it is mostly held together with some really big hits. When I saw I had this, I figured it was going to be an easy 4 and a good trip down memory lane, but I found myself sometimes bored listening to it, and I have very little interest in revisiting the album again, which according to my criteria puts it below a 4. In fact, I was quite disappointed. I feel like the album has not really stood up over time...so 3.5 stars.
Chill, balanced, relaxing but a tad sad of an album. Love the rhymes, but it's a bit generic. Would enjoy in a social setting! My favorite is Cast No Shadow
Heard it loads of times before.
Easy listening, second half of the album heated up with some bangers but overall nothing special
Um, tak overall to taki gabrysia music. Nie bardzo mój vibe, ale no rozumiem the hype. Tak ogólnie for me to 6/10
It’s a solid album. But overall, I walked away from it going “yeah, I heard these back in 1996 and I didn’t really need to hear them again.” But I’ll roll with it.
The hits are great, but too much filler
I've realized that I'm more of a singles dude with these albums. Champagne Supernova and Don't Look Back In Anger are so good, but on my second listen of this album, it's still quite bloated with similar sounding-ballads
Couple good songs and a couple that all sounded the same.
I liked it! Pleasantly surprised.
This really is a tale of two albums. Part of the album is pure magic (Womderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova), but the other part is just noise. In retrospect, do I think the pure magic songs are that way because this album defined my freshman year of high school? Things to ponder, but a solid 3.
Not great, but decent as I had expected. Too pop-y for my tastes and I don't like the vocals. Some of the instrumentals are pretty good though.
In a mood, but kind of annoying to me honestly. Glad dudes have this as their outlet though. Maybe I'm just mad this was never acoustically sung at me. Don't Look Back in Anger is okay. DNF.
It was aight ig…
I'm at album number 1013, and somehow the britpop albums on this list have surpassed 5,000? OK, a joke, but honestly at this point I'm so soured on britpop that I found it difficult to enjoy (What's the Story) Morning Glory? when it's peak! We have a clever album title, legendary songs (which include a classic meme!), catchy hooks, and more genres than just britpop (thank goodness). Unfortunately, a lot of this album comes across as emo teenager, and I find it hard to enjoy whiny vocals as a 36-year-old. My point is that I was very wishy-washy over this album--I think because I expected more from an album that has such a big legacy. I heard some interesting aspects that at least made my listen worthwhile. The vocals and lyrics of "She's Electric" are reminiscent of the Beatles. Specific beats in the aforementioned song and "Hello" sound just like Iggy Pop, particularly his song "The Passenger." "Don't Look Back In Anger"'s instrumental intro reminded me of John Lennon's "Imagine."
Would say 3.5 stars! Liked it, some of the vibe isn’t for me but ends strong and Wonderwall is a classic!
some classic bangers but as an album not overly fussed, quite samey
Not that much of an Oasis fan but still a good album with some cracking songs
Step down from the walls of sound in the first album and I never need to hear supernova or wonderwall ever again but there’s some bangers on the tracklist
I had a good time listening to the album. Apart from the heavy hitters (Wonderwall, Don't look back in Anger), I didn't know too much about the album. I was pleasently surprised with a few songs, while others didn't really hit the mark. Overall a decent album, not super memorable and a bit dull by the end, especially after the 2nd listen.
Favorites: roll with it, wonderwall, don’t look back in anger, she’s electric
Hello
Bro, what even IS a "Wonderwall"!??
it was quite fire shockingly
didn’t listen
Zweifelsohne sind da einige der besten Britpop-Hymnen ever drauf, aber es halt auch Skip-Songs und teils schon richtige Längen. Mehr als drei Sterne sind für mich auf Albumlänge leider nicht drin. PS: Blur > Oasis
Funktioniert als Album erstaunlich schlecht. Ja klar, Hit gefüttert ist es ja, aber die Interludes die hart abbrechen und neben den Hits dann noch „Füller“ die das ganze nicht zwingend aufwerten, geben dem Gesamtwerk einen faden Beigeschmack. +2 Sterne für die Hitdichte.
Whiney, sulking mostly bad. I’m reminded of my boyfriend in 9th or 10th grade singing me Wonderwall and me breaking up with him because the sentiment was not shared. All that said, Champagne Supernova is a phenomenal song.
pretty solid. Good first day!
Good in parts
I mean its a classic.
just started this so was up a little later to hear (whats the story) morning glory? by Oasis, I knew about the band and had heard of them, never really heard them.. for me this is an okey album, maybe i would like it more if i listened to it 3 or four times, right now im lissening to cast no shadow.. ye ye, i havent listened to the hole album yet, but im bad at listening to music without doing anything u know. this song had a great begining and message, okey now im hearing "shes electric" bro thats may be my favourite.. okey in general a good album i liket it, kinda boring not my taste but would like it in a keezy movie or somthing
Oasis are alright, they have maybe two good songs from this album, but I can't really say that they don't have a very generic sound sometimes. Overall, it's alright having this in the background.
sympathieke plundering van the beatles... maar na tijdje begint de stem serieus tegen te steken
3.5
