(What's The Story) Morning Glory

4.5/5 that was good!

Brit-pop. 3 superhits.

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

I really loved this one. I probably didn't give Oasis enough credit when they came out with this one. Solid.

This was my first listen for this album. I kept thinking that Oasis reminded me of another band...but maybe it just reminded me of them. I liked the album, and it sounded like 90s rock. I guess I am not super into the sound though, because it kind of got a little boring for me.

Really enjoyed this, especially the strong finish with She's Electric, Morning Glory, and Champagne Supernova. Sorry I missed it in the 90s.

A classic great rock album that I have loved for years! What can I say… it deserves all the praise. Favorite songs: Wonderwall, Cast No Shadow, Don’t Look Back In Anger, She’s Electric, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova.

Ahhh The Brothers Gallagher when they sort of got on....interesting that fraternal conflict manifested itself in the the Kinks previously too where the Davies brothers couldn't get on in a band together. Noel so wants to be Macca to Liam's Lennon in this record, unfortunately they don't quite hit the mark but there are some cracking tracks here. My Favourites "Don't Look Back In Anger" "Wonderwall" (Of Course) "Roll With It" the Kinkslike "She's Electric" and "Champagne Supernova" A Very good Britpop album. Rightfully here.

An absolute classic so has to be 4*

A classic. I think if it was a tighter 8-track album it could be a five.

i did not hate this as much as i expected i would

En aquell moment eren intocables. Després del disc debut, tan cacarejat des d'abans d'editar-se, i que va complir amb totes les expectatives, i el single 'Whatever', una altra victòria, es treuen de la màniga un disc que encara és millor que el predecessor. Que l'altre tenia un himne com 'Live Forever'? Aquí n'hi ha dos, 'Wonderwall' i 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. Que l'altre combinava les melodies beatlenianes amb un rock corrossiu a 'Cigarettes and Alcohol', 'Rock and Roll Star' o 'Supersonic'? Aquí la inspiració creativa arriba a cotes més altes amb 'Some Might Say', 'She's Electric' o 'Champagne Supernova'. El que no esperàvem ningú és que a partir d'aleshores la caiguda fos tan en picat... però sempre ens quedarà el disc per disfrutar-lo com es mereix

Listening to the full album, I've come to the realization that I only like Oasis in small doses at a time. Their music can be such an ear sore and only enjoyed listening to "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova."

CD

Rock

bem divertido

The music is, in general, good. But it became monotonous to me. Also, I can't get past how obnoxious the Gallagher brothers are. Or Liam. I don't remember if it's one or both, but it flavours my listening.

An album I enjoyed a bit more than I thought it would. There's a certainty and naturality to the songwriting, as if they had a sure vision for the album's sound and style upon starting it. The results are surprisingly melodic, although mediocre in places.

Another album largely defined in my mind by a particular era when Inas intentionally watching music videos. Singles from this just dominated (as did the “new British Invasion” narratives, coverage of the rivalry with Blur, and reports of bad behavior). I think it’s overrated, though I like a lot of it, and the screamingly loud, over-compressed mixing marked the escalation of a rotten trend.

- so this algorithm gave me Blur, Suede and Oasis... which obviously makes me to compare them. And that is not good news for Suede and Blur - I must say as much as I don't like Oasis as a band (pure judgement of characters) I need to judge them by their craft and talent, which is obviously superb. - Wonderwall, for some people overrated or overplayed, for me one of the unskippable ones, even covers, samples and jazz reeditions and shitty Superstar versions are good

3.5 stars

Cutting through the hype at the time of release (including my own comical hero worshipping) its not all good. Roll with it and some might say are not good singles (the b-sides are strong). Perhaps a third of the album is quite good. Overhyped and not as fun as Definitely Maybe, even if Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger are classics.

Really liked this group and their songs

Here's your classic 90's alternative album and it's a lot of fun. We have the always timeless wonderwall and champagne supernova on this one along with a few other fun ones. Not a huge fan of Oasis but glad I could finally listen to the album all the way through.

A classic in its own right. Contains the anthem of amateur guitar playing pricks worldwide, "Wonderwall." And despite the meme, it's still a great song. There's some other great ones on here too, especially "Champagne Supernova." I like this one a lot, and I think the vocals have a lot to do with it. Whichever of the brothers Gallagher is responsible for this, kudos. Favorite tracks: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Some Might Say, Morning Glory. Album art: Very indistinct, we've had a handful of street scenes on this list already. But it's definitely recognizable for me. 4/5

This is one of my most cherished memories from my childhood and youth, so I won’t act like I’m not gonna give it a straight up 5, but let’s see what I have to say about it 27 years later. Let’s start whit the cons: Yes, some of the the lyrics are a bit lazy or maybe Noel was just so confident about his work that did not care to polish them. Yes, the mixing is bloated and at times ridiculously loud (but yeah it kinda works!) …And I think that’s it! I don’t think I have anything bad to say about it. The album it is just so innocent, confident and honest in its (missed yes, but what an awesome try) aim to be the greatest rock n roll record of all time that it does deserve a place among the greatest. Remember those days? We could be waiting for the videos to air on MTV for ours and just be hypnotized by the huge rockstars they were, especially Liam, we could listen to Champagne Supernova all day long… Yes Wonderwall got bigger life (and a meme as all of the bigger than life things do), but it does not make it a bad song. Damn those were the days. We could go on revising the artistry of it all, but that’s the good thing about art, the important feel is the one you got from experiencing it the first time (even if as you get more experience your tastes refine). I got to see Oasis twice, Liam once (at Glasto) and Noel like 8 times and It is always a great experience, I sure wish I was in Knebworth back in 96 (I was 9 att) or could go to Knebworth in June but it’s just not in the cards… this is another big point to make in favor of it, it is music to be played and enjoyed live. Have you ever sang Don’t Look Back In Anger along with a crowd? Have you ever done it along with Noel Gallagher? Have you ever done it along with Liam? If the answer is yes, then I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. I read like 20 years ago a review that said they hoped that with the passing of time, Cast No Shadow would emerge as the crown gem from this album as it was the greatest song Oasis would have made. I don’t think that happened but I have always agreed that it is brilliant and a statement of the true genius of Noel Gallagher. Now, I know I said above something about the lyrics being lazy (the fishes and blisters an ovens and all that), but actually this album does have some lines to live by: “some might say, we will find a brighter day”. On my tombstone it will read “someday you will find me caught beneath the landslide, in a champagne supernova in the sky” even if it means nothing really lol. I have two copies of this album on vinyl, the dreadful 2014 re-issue (which will make you suffer so don’t buy it) and the much more superior 2009 re-issue. I hope a can get my hands on the original Creation version someday. For closing, doing this list I’ve encountered many records with extended versions and sometimes listen to the b-sides as part of the album, I think if people do that with this one are going to find weird how those songs Acquiesce or Masterplan are better than most of the album and no one talks about them. Noel should’ve kept those for Be Here Now… but that’s a story for another time.

04/22/2022 Filled with great songs. An absolute classic.

No. No. Thrice no.

Un classique. Définitivement le meilleur album du groupe et un gros morceau des années 90. Une chanson de cet album se retrouve impérativement dans toute playlist rock/alternative de cette décennie. Pièces préférées: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova

Champagne Supernova go hard

Overall, it's a pretty good listen. Decent music, good drive, a bit poetic at times. Not bad. I still wouldn't rush out and buy it, but I most certainly didn't hate listening to it. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. I wouldn't call it 4 stars, but can't see giving it 3. So it gets four by default.

5/5

A monumental release from the one of the biggest bands of the 90s and 00s, there is an undeniable quality in Noel Gallagher's songwriting and he was fortunate to find a large audience willing to listen. I hadn't heard this for a while, but it's an album that instantly brings back so many good memories from my teen years, so there is a nostalgia element here. I suppose that's one of the great things about music. Loads of great songs here: 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back In Anger', 'Some Might Say' and the absolute timeless 'Champagne Supernova'. PS. Geez, just realized this album really almost 30 years old!

Brings back memories still proffered Blur!!!!

Possibly the best album ever made by a pair of absolute bell-ends

Simultaneously enjoyable and annoying. I can't separate my history listening to this and assess it objectively, sorry.

Is this album flawless? No. But yet again it's another example of my subjective bias of 90s nostalgia! Enjoyed re-listening.

I did own this like pretty much everyone else under 25 in the 90s. Probably the first time in over 20 years listening to it. It's ok, mass produced, bit boring and bland brit pop. I could live happily ever after if I never hear Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova ever again.

Not a big fan of Oasis, but damn, there are some gems on here, particularly the title track. Wonderwall and Champagne are played out for me, but still good songs. Solid record, but short of brilliant in my opinion (clearly not the Gallagher's).

I liked it better then Definitely Maybe. Still not an Oasis fan.

It's like a Best Of Compilation, but it's all on one album. Britpop at it's finiest, and some absolutly great songs.

Still writing, First day Of Ramadhan

How did an album with this many bangers get made?!

Oasis are a band I always shat on but I can't lie, I really enjoyed this album. Some absolute bangers.

Just a great album

At the time I really liked this album and listened to it many times, but nowadays prefer their debut album. WSMG is still an excellent album of course that is way better than any of their later albums and I would still rate it as 4 stars. It is a pity that some of their strongest songs around that time are not included, for example: Talk Tonight and Acquiesce, b-sides of Some Might Say. (It's remarkable, at the time Oasis could - if they had wanted to- have easily released a WSMG Part 2 and it would have been just as strong as WSMG.)

Great L.P. This is the one that put me on the Oasis bandwagon

So anyway, here's Wonderwall. Not sure they were ever going to be the next Beatles, but pretty good.

So in the big fight between Blur and Oasis back in the day, I was a Blur stan. Yeah, I get why folks adore Oasis more than life itself, and there’s the odd tune I can put up with, like Roll With It or She’s Electric, but overall, the vibe is a bit slow and moody for me. It deffo has a place in Britpop history, but there were bands I listened to far more at the time.

pretty standard indie-ish 90s rock. anyway, here's

4. not as raw as def maybe - not quite as indulgent as be here now! ha. what a fuckin time though!

Imagine liking _this_ more than Blur. Couldn't be me. I did listen to this, Wonderwall remains Not Good but catchy and nothing on here is great and most of it is a bit mediocre at best.

Imagine liking Blur more than this ;)! It's not the best Oasis album, but I'd be lying if this didn't have a big impact on me growing up!

A lot better than I'd expected. Was every song off this a single? Felt like it!!

I have, (like everybody alive), heard Wonderwall way too many times in my life. Went in really wanting to smugly hate this album so I could be vindicated but Oasis are, unfortunately, actually quite good at making music. There's a couple of somewhat 'meh' tracks but at least half the album could have been singles. The album as a whole also feels shorter than it is which I think is a good thing - better to leave the listener wanting more than leave them wanting it over.

Perfection

Beaucoup de bruit, à l’époque, autour de ce groupe (et par ses membres, exemples parfaits de vanité arrogante). Pourtant, la musique proposée ici n’est rien d’autre qu’un produit orienté client, teinté des guitares grasses que des artistes sincères mettaient de l’avant au même moment. Dans la tradition pop des Britanniques, on trouve vraiment mieux. Convenu et ennuyeux. Je donne trois étoiles, quand même, pour l’efficacité de deux ou trois chansons.

Epic 90’s indie. Although a bit dated, there are no weak songs here.. Wonderwall has kept its magic, but in retrospective songs like the title track, and Champagne Super perhaps even better

Solid album.

7/10 Not as fresh as when first released. Lots of classics which still get the foot tapping but suffer from being overplayed on the air.

Hi- Hello I liked it more than I thought I would, but Noel Gallagher is such a smarmy weasel that it brings down the experience.

One of the best albums of the decade. Packed with great songs, this album is a pleasure from start to finish. Standouts: Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Roll with It, Morning Glory. Others: all the rest! A very strong 4/5. (Note: I don't give 5's to just a TRULY great album that has survived the test of time. )

Buen disco

I didn't necessarily like all of the tracks on this one, but I did enjoy it overall. Don't Look Back In Anger is my favourite, it never fails to make me emotional.

Loved it! Knew much more than I thought

Lots of great songs in here. 4.5

The strings in the background of Wonderwall make it a classic track, but the rest just sounds like Liam whinging and wining on about something or other.

This is one of those albums where I haven't listened to it in probably 15 years, and yet I knew and sang along to every lyric. This was one of 3-4 albums around 7th or 8th grade that was just constantly on repeat. Great stuff.

I said maaaybaaaaay!

Wonderwall's annoyance (but I'll still sing along dammit) and the pretentious of the brothers narcissism - this is still packed Fave Tracks "Don't Look Back in Anger" (Oasis's best song - fight me) "Morning glory"

What a bumpin' album. We've all heard the jokes about 'Wonderwall' or the greatest lyric of all time on 'Champagne Supernova', "Slowly walking down the hall...faster than a cannonball" (that's sarcasm), but putting all those aside, this album is simply a banger from beginning to end. 'Hello' is a terrific opening, capturing the overall energy and engaging feel practically all these songs have. 'Hey Now', 'Some Might Say' (A highlight for me, personally), 'Morning Glory' - this album is incredibly consistent, and one of those rare few where listening to it cover to cover is an absolute must.

The album has 4 strong songs. The rest are of varying quality.

A classic

You know that bit in the movie 'Yesterday' when it turns out that Jack also wrote 'Wonderwall' and it's barely noteable? That's how I feel about Oasis - what's the big deal? They're fine, but clearly quite derivative and I'm not a huge fan of the vocal styling. In general I'm not a fan of Britpop though. That being said, I did like a few of the songs, and my top pick is 'She's Electric' which I'm not sure I'd heard before.

I've been doing these reviews for the past few months and it's been a decent experience. I've gotten to listen to albums that I haven't heard or learn about artists that I don't know much about. But the review process takes a lot. I always think about how I need more time. But, I've got my mind made up now. Funny in these reviews that nobody ever mentions the weather, but you gotta roll with it and when writing these, you gotta say what you say, don't let anybody get in your way. Like I said, writing reviews is arduous and often need more time. I think by now, I should've somehow realized they take a significant chunk of my day. Sure, the word is on the street that the fire in my heart is out. Enough said, I mean it's hard trying to start a revolution from my bed, but I really shouldn't put my life in the hands of a rock and roll band, and I feel no shame. Because there are people standing at the station in need of an education. Though it's hard, I can't help but feel that these reviews are taking my soul and stealing my pride. I just need a little time to wake up, need a little time to rest my mind. You know, the people who write these reviews, you and I, we live and die, I don't exactly know why. Regardless, not many special people change, especially in the rain... but I do remember where I was when I was getting high. ... I was in college and I was listening to this album.

The biggest problem with "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" is that I filled my quota for "Wonderwall" years ago. Every subsequent time I listen to that song now overflows the container that I reserve for music that tries to deftly navigate the demilitarized zone between the Fab Four and Brit Shit. Speaking of the Fab Four, "Don't Look Back in Anger" is both the most Beatles-esque and best song on the album, and boy did the world want Oasis to be the second coming of the lads from Liverpool. Which is a totally unfair and unreachable expectation to place on any band, let alone a band that featured two brothers that hated each other too much to get anywhere near the prolific success of the Beatles early years. That said, you don't have to be the Beatles to make a good record. And this is pretty good. Except for "Wonderwall."

First of all, the beginning of the song Morning Glory sounds like The One I Love by REM. How did I never notice that before? Secondly, how did his voice not annoy me in the 90s? Don't get me wrong, I still like some of these songs. Hello is underrated and is an excellent start to an album. Roll With It sounds like they want to be the Beatles while Don't Look Back in Anger actually sounds like it could be the Beatles. And of course there is the aforementioned influence of REM. It was a nice walk down memory lane, even if it's one I am not likely to repeat any time soon.

Wow … just WOW!!! I forgot how good this album is. And clearly I used to listen to it ALOT because it’s been at least a decade if not more since I’ve listened and I still remember most of the words. This album is banger after banger. Unlike other albums, I don’t have a song that I don’t like or only think is average. I like every single song. This has me rethinking my personal album rankings. I can’t believe I essentially left this album behind. It wasn’t even in my library. WTF??!!?? GREAT. FUCKING. ALBUM.

Not heard the album all the way through. Familiar with the singles. Overall a solid album, maybe.

I can listen to this entire album anytime.

Liam’s vocals are spot on. How lucky to have this uplifting anthemic music when I was 23. For me the Liam’s voice sounds of stella, the white noise guitars of speed. The songwriting is exceptional, it’s like a greatest hits album - only qualm is I think it could have been produced better, the guitars aren’t quite right. But that’s me looking back 25 years this is a ***** classic.

loved it

A+ 10/10 absolute banger. The only negative are the two interlude type songs, but as a whole it really works together. Excluding those two interludes, any of these songs would be a top 10 hit.

Iconic cover, iconic bangers. Wonder wall to wonder wall hits here. Probably their finest work

I feel the same way about this as I feel about most Brit-Pop (which BTW is the most over-represented genre on this list). It's good, listenable, catchy even, I like the sound, but ultimately it's not super interesting. It's a bit like bubblegum music - enjoyable but not much in the way of nutritional value. 3 stars.

Loved this album in the 90's, still love it now. Nearly every track a classic. Supernova was my go to Jukebox pick, quality tune and long

great britpop album

Fantastic! Hear it all aloud!

Awesome album. Lots of hits on here but generally I really like the sound they pivoted to in this album versus definitely maybe.

Kind of annoying to be honest. I love a good singalong to dont look back in anger or champagne supernova, but I found this soaked in Gallagher bro arrogance 🤷‍♂️

This album: *gets released* Critics: In this album, Oasis departed from the alt-rock sound of "Definitely Maybe" and made songs that are more melancholic and ballad-ish. It's not as good and original as "Definitely Maybe", it sounds generic, but it's an okay album. This album: *gets commercially successful* Critics: WOAHHH THIS IS A GIGANTIC ALBUM THAT MADE OASIS SUCH A WORDLWIDE ACT! BEST BRITISH ALBUM BEST '90S ALBUM BEST ALT-ROCK ALBUM BEST BRITPOP ALBUM BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME! A MUST-LISTEN BEFORE YOU DIE!!!

Play Wonderwall

It's just full of hits and bangers, and a landmark album for Britpop and the 90s. Wore out this CD in my parents' 2002 Toyota Sienna. Special shoutout to She's Electric which is so damn good.

I spent many nights laying on my best friend's floor gossiping about our transition to high school and summer camp changes while listening to this album. Once your adolescent heart has seen a boy with hockey hair play Wonderwall on an acoustic guitar by a campfire, what's left? I started listing favourites and realized it's 9/12, so it's easier to say swamp songs and cast no shadow resonate the least with me.

Don't Look Back in Anger > Wonderwall. That's my hot take for today.

Weniger egal als der Vorgänger aber auch trotz vielgezeigter Perlen dann doch nur Modeschmuck.

I have NOT been looking forward to this. Hopefully this garbage doesn't jack up my youtube algorithm too much.

Where to begin? I could write for days about this album but my little hand would fail me. Catapulted the best band from the 90’s into immortality. Not many bands can follow up such a phenomenal first album with an album bigger and in some ways better. But oasis aren’t like many bands they are fucking brilliant. This was bonehead in his prime! Also without oasis we would never have got to hear the beauty that was beady eye. Never forget that! Ive just champagne supernova’d all over my self.

Good

memory music. absolutely dripping in nostalgia and reminiscence. particularly with the ever degrading state of the world we live in its quite nice to look back on happier times. its mad how it outsold definitely maybe by 100% in the uk, its nowhere near as good as that album. it'd be nice to see oasis play again, but we aren't gonna get it thanks to noels rancid ego. he's a smarmy cunt and his solo stuff is beyond shite.

The upsetting thing about listening to this in 2022, is that I'm currently scooping human shit out of a plughole whilst it plays. Whilst normally I enjoy the chore, (why else would I shit there?), today it just fills me with an overwhelming sense of melancholy. It's the most mournful shit scooping I've done this year. I do look back in anger. I look back at all the shits I've done before. I mentally rank them in order of shade and size and I sigh. I long for 1995 when I spent my time shaving hairy children's back for cigarette money. Oasis were constantly playing and the world was largely more pleasant. WHERE HAVE YOU PUT MY COMB, DEIRDRE, YOU DUMB BITCH?

The brothers' Gallagher just got everything right on this one. The full spirit of the 90s....including the nod to Gary Glitter in 'Hello'. Whatever happened to him? It was an exciting time and this album chewed up all that youthful spirt and hope and spat it out I our faces with a curled lip and million dollar snarl. This Britpop-tinged monster reminds us of a world that no longer exists. There will be loads of people reviewing this saying they only know Wonderwall and honestly, it's the worst track on it.

I went into this thinking I was going to hate it. I've continued to listen to Definitely Maybe sporadically over the years but it's a long time since I've bothered with What's The Story. And maybe it is just nostalgia but I still really, really enjoyed it. So that's good.

It is a classic.

a few repetitive sounds but overall one of my fav albums

Es wena esta wea, antes de que oasis se pusiera zzzzzz

Esto les pasa por bardear a Michael Hutchense.

The best of this album IMO: - Hello - Roll With It - The Swamp Song - Excerpt 1 - She's Electric - Morning Glory Great tunes. Gotta love British rock and Britpop. Oasis truly has a unique sound, they're recognizable. (But I don't like Wonderwall lol. Mostly because of the hook though.) I still prefer Blur. ;-) 3.5/5

Such a shame that they went to shit after this. Amazing album

Meh heard it already. It's pretty decent

7/10

I don't understand the Brit Pop Wars. Or at least, I don't understand the whole Blur vs. Oasis fight, almost like it's supposed to be a Beatles vs. The Stones or Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam sort of battle. To my ears, this is more like generic vs. brand name, with Blur being generic throwing stones and insisting they're the same, if not better, than the "brand name" Oasis. It's the nail vs. the hammer. There's no comparison. Oasis is better, there isn't even an argument. Wonderwall is an all-timer (yes, Wonderwall itself is a stone cold 5). There are a shitload of bangers here. Some were so over played in 1995 and 1996 to the point of annoyance, so I tended to avoid the Gallagher Brothers in their heyday. My bad. Not every track has the, ahem, wonder of Wonderwall, but this one is aging nicely overall.

This album came out when I was 4. Kinda grew up listening to Oasis.

Oasis at the pinnacle of their creative success. It plays like a greatest hits and it's good. It's enjoyable music. Not my favourite, but damned if I won't sing along to Wonderwall every single time it comes on. Have to.

I think I mentioned this before, we watched a Britpop documentary a while back, it was quite interesting to hear more about Oasis. I only really knew this album. Still, the Beatles influence is overwhelming. It’s too bad the Gallagher brothers hate each other so. I would have liked to have heard their sound evolve. I think what they had was something that cannot be easily duplicated, and between brothers like that? Impossible. But Oasis sure gave it a try. I like this album a good deal, but I never get a chance to listen to the whole thing. It feels very slick, but we’ll-produced (that’s the 90s for you.) Really recommended.

In Canada, the release of this album was almost like Beatlemania 2. I don't think many folks had been paying attention to the Britpop evolution that had already started (including Oasis' release of Definitely Maybe the year before) but they definitely wanted to anoint Oasis as the new Beatles. That's a bit much but this is a damn good album. Far less brooding than the rest of rock at the time, the upbeat tempos and sound are great. What I like about early Oasis is that you can hear a full band - lots of guitar and bass layers, along with drums and the occasional piano. That was hugely influential for how rock (re)evolved. Some Might Say has a great throw back rock sound (to the 70's) while Morning Glory is an excellent piece of rock reimagined for the 90's (grating guitar work is awesome). Noel Gallagher may be an asshole but he is a good songwriter. Don't Look Back in Anger (I think it's their best song) has some deep intelligent lyrics whereas the lyrics in She's Electric are cheeky yet still smart. The different styles show just how talented he is. Wonderwall may be overplayed but it is a great track. I'll always dislike Champagne Supernova but hey I don't like Strawberry Fields either - I guess I'm not much for psychedelia. Still, I can acknowledge its great musicianship even if it is not my kind of sound.

I know this album was huge, but I could never stand Oasis and their shit attitudes and how they posed as the second coming of the Beatles, right down to the mop tops. I hated it in the 90s and it still annoys me now. Still, I gave the album several listens. The songs are all decent, but Liam's whiny voice bugs me and the album is too damn noisy (these kids with their loud rock n' roll!). Plus, too much of their music is derivative. I'll give it a 3 because it's not *bad*, it's just I can't separate the attitude from the music and the derivative nature of the music keeps me from giving it a higher score. Favorite track - Champagne Supernova. Enjoyed the guitar solo and anthemic ending.

Man, this is an album with mostly hits, but the songs are actually great, and not just some shallow commercial music, although, I think, trough the grandness of their songs, they became commercial. Maybe, the best album by a band that transcended the underground, breaking like a fucking wrecking ball in the mainstream ears, the absolute kings of the britpop era.

Hard to rate this one and separate it from my childhood. Not as good as Definitely Maybe which I gave a 4, but should really have been a 5.

It took me (and the music press) a while to truly appreciate what an album this was. I've never owned it, but i've sung along to every song, danced (drunkedly) to many. For my generation, it's so important - even critical.

Gut zum im Hintergrund laufen lassen, 2-3 allgemein bekannte Lieder, Rest auch ganz gut.

Oasis!

Classic album. Outside of the three extremely popular songs I already knew quite well, I found the rest to be about on par with those. One or two not so great ones (looking at you, She's Electric) but not enough to ruin the album in any way. 6/10

Never been a massive fan of Oasis, but somehow I think this one had aged more than I had expected. Still got a banger track for my playlist, though.

One of my favorite albums of all time. I've seen Oasis live twice, thank goodness before they broke up. I know it's suggested that they're derivative of the Beatles, but I think they are much, much more influential and talented than that. They have a sound their own, a masterful attitude of rock and roll, and the ability to craft songs that play in clubs and arenas. Their work is suggestive of the Beatles, but in a commemorative way. This album never lets up, either. It is one of the perfect albums of the 90s and all time; each song is fantastic. All killer and no filler.

Bought back some memories from the 90s but other than that 3/5

Not very memorable

Obviously a classic. Definitely some great all time songs, but let’s take a star away for all the familial egotism.

was going to be all objective with this, but to be honest it's still a stone cold 5

Oo

Super good album. Unique sound with many hits on album. Seems ahead of it’s time.

Pleasantly surprised. Had only ever heard the overplayed singles.

Not bad, not amazing

Histórico

Has all of the Oasis songs I know. What is on their other albums?

Literally every single one of my favorite oasis songs are on this album. What a classic banger of an album. Even if wonderwall is overplayed it’s still good and I love champagne supernova, it’s been my alarm in the morning for years. Fav songs: literally no skips

An album with more singles than it knows what to do with. Taken by themselves, these songs are well written and have a fully formed sonic vision. Too much personal exposure blunts their impact on me now but something needs to be said for their ability to command attention. Its not a 5 star album for me because all of their low tempo acoustic stuff all sounds the exact same!

Definitive sound, sometimes a bit repetitive in the first half of the album with similar vocal delivery. The second half picks up considerably and ends well. Keeps your attention throughout and is a perfect length. Some might say favourite

3.5 stars. The well known songs are all time greats but didn't get into the rest of the album too much.

Not a huge fan of Oasis. Good Album though

AlreaDY rated, would not seek out, middle of the road

I hate this album so much I want to cry. The singer is whiny, the music is generic and it just drones on forever

Wonderwall, klassikere, britisk guitarrock

Brilliant album.

Oasis merda ma questi sono tutti singoli dal primo all'ultimo

Album started out on a terrible foot with an awful muddy sound on the first two songs, plus a very old fashioned trite sound reminiscent of the beatles. But then wonderwall and don't look back in anger reversed that, with a crisp, well balanced sound, and a slow listenable groove. At the best, they can find that nice groove mixed with energetic rock, like She's Electric. At worst, it's just muddled sound with uninspired melodies and simple lyrics, like Hello or Morning Glory. It should be a 2, but I can't help but love Wonderwall, and all the terrible memes it's created. Highlights: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger

Good album. not much to say

not my style

thumbs up

Cool classic rock bangers, nearly all good songs. 7/10

1995. Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory

Obviously the mainstream hits: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova Really liked She's Electric, Morning Glory, Some Might Say as well 1st album on 1001, have not listened to the whole of this album before With 3 as an 'average' album, 4/5, not a fan of some of the songs, score is pulled up by aforementioned mainstream hits which taking nothing away from them, are really good

A few decent songs I've never heard. I don't hate 'Don't look back in anger' as much as I used to this time around.

I prefer Blur

Some big hits on here, some of the filler songs did nothing though

Known this album for a long time. It’s a great one

Roll with it is a great track. Very 90s nostalgic feel and very beatles-esque. Dont look back in Anger is also a banger. Wonderwall isn't the best track on this album!!

some good songs. not at all a "timeless" album, and not one I would listen to frequently

While I hadn't listened to this whole album before, I knew the singles off of it. It was okay, but the singles were the high point.

Classic, classic album. One of my favorite of the Brit pop era. Liam’s voice gets a little grating at times and songs tend to go a bit long on the outros, but great collection of singles carries this album. Pick of the album is “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” nothing wrong with ripping off your influences when it works this well.

it was okay I’ll give it a 6/10, pretty annoying but also pretty well made so idk, kinda conflicted but I’m leaning towards positive feelings

Continuing with the 90s, this album was more tolerable to listen to than when it was on repeat.

Totally rad album. I didn’t realize how many bangers were on this. Absolutely deserves to be on this list.

I like Alan McGee's theory that Noel Gallagher came down from Manchester with an Adidas bag full of songs, and never wrote anything of note once he left his home town. Having said that, I find Oasis dull and dreary, with weird, clunky lyrics - "take that look from off your face". But that's ok, like Liberace they will be crying all the way to the bank.

Un album qui a créé un genre ou du moins popularisé. Un band très gros avec un album aussi gros contenant les classiques chansons de oasis que tout le monde connaît. J'ai aimé le son plus rock que les chansons que je connaissais sur labum . 4.25

You know how sometimes you listen to music you loved when you were younger and it just doesn’t sound as good? This is not one of those albums. If anything, I can better appreciate just has lush and layered this album is. It’s goddamned anthemic. Noel Gallagher’s songwriting is absolutely at its peak here. Oasis have never been the flashiest or boundary pushing band, but one thing they are is absolutely unique. No one sounds quite like them. There is not a single bad song on this album.

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."

This album specifically reminds me of the time in 1995 when my brother and I were planning a day trip to Auckland but he locked the keys in the car at the Five Cross Roads petrol station. But once the keys were liberated, we took off to Auckland, the Oasis CD blasting from the stereo. Morning Glory is a very full-on album. Every track is dialled up to 11, all rock 'n' roll excess. But if you're going to go there, you should go all the way - and that's what they did. It still holds up, but it's not the sort of album I'd ever relax with now. I'm older and I don't have the mental stamina for such vast expressions of rockstravagance. But from time to time, it is as enjoyable and comforting as a cup of tea.

Seminal album for Oasis, almost a greatest-hits collection in itself. Great album, easy 5. I've said it on the last Oasis album and I'll say it again. I don't know how the 2 most miserable people on the planet can write such lovely songs.

Aggressive, noisy, raw. To start with. Slides into mediocre lager rock which is alternately boring and annoying.

More of a 3.5 than a 4.

An old favourite

Pretty legendary album

Love it. More polished than the first album Oasis released. Really well produced. There are some great hits on this.

Amazing album top to bottom

i like the cover art

ugh

I used to love this album. Not so much anymore. Still good, but his voice is grating after a few songs.

Discazo de pop/rock inglés espectacular. Canciones variadas, en ocasiones guitarreras y con ritmo. Toda una colección de canciones buenas y bien elaboradas

As much as I haven't enjoyed a lot of the Britpop that shows up on this list, this album seems like a reasonable choice. There were lots of hits off this album, and the rest of the songs were all solid. It doesn't sound that dated either, which is always nice with albums from this era 4/5

Overrated pub rock. Status Quo covering the Beatles

Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back In Anger, She's Electric, are all great.

Mmmmm, like a warm blanket of good ol' alternative bliss.

This is coming home from college and raiding my sister’s new CDs. Good vibes. Good music, too.

Fantastic rock album. Cohesive, unique, has a clear identity, lyrics are good too. One of the last albums you could somewhat call a rock opera.

What a great album, combines the positive aspects of britpop with some heavier guitars and stadium anthem like choruses

I somehow went this many years in my life without really listening to Oasis. Or as I like to call them, Poor-Man's Sloan. (or as I like to call Sloan, Canadian Oasis, only better). Anyway, this is fine. Not as good as Sloan or anything, but it's alright. I don't know if it's because it's been a meme now for like 20 years, but Wonderwall is a shitty song. She's Electric is a really good song. Morning Glory may as well be a cover of REM's One I Love

Classic British music.

Perfection

I feel like there is a lot of people who really enjoy Oasis. I had never hard this album but I was fairly Familiar with a lot of the songs. And maybe I would have enjoyed them more if they weren't absolutely memed to death. So It wasn't bad, but I didn't like it very much at all.

not my favorit

Ok, ikke fremragende.

Ja classic he, een tijdloze. Wel niet allemaal even sterk

anyway here is wonderwall Oasis op hun best?

Tunesome, classic. The loudness wars got to this one a little bit. Never listened to the non-singles, but almost every track could have been a single. That’s a rare thing!

Le générateur est dans une très grande forme en ce moment. Des efforts à ne pas relâcher au deuxième trimestre.

La motivation à rédiger des reviews a totalement disparue, je suis du coup forcé de chercher à me réorienter dans un secteur d'activité me convenant plus.

Eh. 5/10

En mí opinión el mejor disco de Oasis y uno de los mejores de género al que pertenece esta obra. Ninguna canción relleno, melodías icónicas e inolvidables, gran disco.

For a band that wants to surpass The Beatles, they surely miss the mark on short, concise songs. They’re clearly heavily inspired by The Beatles buy taking the sign off melody to “With A Little Help From My Friends” and forcing it for their sign off on “She’s Electric”. This record hold most, if not all of Oasis’s hits and it’s deserved as there are good radio tunes on This record. The biggest downfall of this record and Oasis in general is carrying on a song for far too long. Nearly every song on this record should end at the 3/4 mark. I found myself digging the songs and having the natural conclusion and “fill” of the song just to look at the song duration and find that there’s still a minute to go. Oasis forces every song to be a radio hit by repeating the chorus line until you’re done with the song and it kills it’s replay value. If the songs were shorting and leaving you wanting more, I could see myself wanting to listen to the song, but left me wanting the song to be over with the repetitive “driving me to like it” repetition. “Hey Now” does a great job and being a punchy highlight, but still would be better with shaving off the last chorus repeat. Overall: there’s some good songs on this record. Catchy tunes and for sure hits, but forcing every song to end the same way with repetition doesn’t make me want to come back any time soon. 3.4/5 stars

One of my favourite albums of the 90s. Some great tracks starting with "Hello" "Wonderwall" is a classic but probably one of the weaker songs on the album. "Don't look back in Anger" "Cast No shadow" and "Champagne supernova" are all amazing tracks with a few weaker ones throughout. The in between short instrumental tracks go but don't go with the ones they're coming from/leading into. 4 to a 4.5 as far as albums go .

See my other Oasis reviews. If they're gonna make all their albums sound the same why shouldn't all my reviews be the same?? Huh??

This album is the result of the height of the Britpop war. Before these tracks, Britpop albums held closely tied to their roots in alt rock, baroque rock, and punk, but starting in this album (and its contemporaries), Britpop began to take on an identity of its own. This album really put the "pop" in Britpop. Tracks are loud and orchestral hitting us with high notes and clear yet introspective lyrics. Nearly the whole album is full of hits (or should be). British Invasion influences are clear in many of the songs like the Beatlesesque "Don't Look Back in Anger" or the baroque "Some Might Say." It's hard for me to criticize songs like "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" due to them being two of the most overplayed "modern" rock songs, but after listening to the album as a whole, I appreciate them much more. The album is consistent, and it initially shocked me how neither were lead singles, but it makes sense how much they fit in (personally almost all the songs felt like ballads). The weaknesses I felt was that this felt too oriented toward the pop audience, relying too much on loudness and instrument overload, and the lyrics aren't perfect either (catchy but for the most part not very interesting). This is a seminal British album that rocks from start to finish.

It has its ups and downs but overall it is a great album.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall. Joking aside, there are so many hits on this album. Don't look back in anger, hello, morning glory, champagne supernova! Very strong album and great encapsulation of the brit pop era

Oasis is a bit of a guilty pleasure to me. In terms of overall quality, they really can't hold a candle to other iconic Britpop outfits such as Radiohead and Blur. Despite that, I can't help but love tracks such as Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Hey Now!, Some Might Say, She's Electric, Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova. They are incredibly catchy, the lyrics are meaningless but fun, and there is a nice balance between typical Britpop mid-tempo tunes, psychedelic elements and sweet ballads. Liam's voice can get a bit on my nerves sometimes, thus Oasis is best served a couple of tracks at a time. A 4/5 for what I believe is their best record, is thus a fitting score.

Less essential than the debut, also sounds very much of its time

I loved Oasis when I was in my teens and early 20s. This was never my favourite album of theirs though, and my general perception is that their music hasn't aged well, so I was interested to revisit this, with fairly low expectations. Listening afresh this album holds up a lot better than I was expecting. Noel certainly knows how to find (or borrow) a catchy melody and Liam's voice was amazing in this era. It could do without Hey Now or the two short unnamed (Swamp Song) tracks, but overall I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would in 2021. If anything it has gone up in my estimation since I last listened to it a decade+ ago. I suspect that may not be the case with some other Oasis albums, but this does stand the test of time and remains a genuine classic.

Poor mix undermines good melodies. In hindsight, just generic guitar rock.

Uneven but with some standouts.

Very good album. I love Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The last great album by Oasis. Again, one for the snobs to pretend they don't like it but you can't fault the melodies. Just a great, great record. Best Tracks: Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova

Album full of bangers. Not as good as the debut but only just

Big stuff. Until this album I'd never found music that really grabbed me, but this sold me on guitar and rock n' roll

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.

A lot more rockin and bluesy than I expected. All killer.

Classic.

Very familiar album. Wonderwall still feels overplayed though I haven’t heard it in years. All the tracks are solid. Very good album

Brilliant! From track 1 to track 12 Even the B-sides are good. Easily Oasis' best album. Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

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

I will admit I am not excited for this one, but I will give it a shot. Update : Didn't start off strong, but there are some songs I really enjoy. The lyrics seem pretty weak but there are some fun melodies. Also, WAY too many songs, definitely could have been edited down. 2nd update : WAY TOO LONG, Couldnt finish

- wonderwall album - "Don't Look Back in Anger" opening chords sound like "Imagine" - one of the best selling British indie pop albums - prefer the Swamp Songs

Un poco mainstream xD

debo situarme en el lado del mal esta vez

Really good, not quite perfect.

4

I was pleasantly surprised listening to Oasis' first album and really, really enjoyed it. I thought I'd perhaps wasted 25 years not being an Oasis fan. This album compounded why I never get into them when this came out. It's just not that good to me.

Amazing

Having never listened to "Wonderwall" or anything else by Oasis, this was a new experience for me. It was a good album, though I was more wowed by songs like "Don't Look Back in Anger" than by "Wonderwall."

Struggling to get past my bias against this album from people singing 'what's the story' too much on my nights out. Intro is good. She's electric and champ supernova also good Didn't do much for me, not a massive fan of the production.

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.

I hated oasis when I was younger, but this album is fantastic upon relisten. Very happy this challenge got me to check it out!

10/10 ludomatics. Punto.

BLUR SON UNOS TERRIBLES PUTOS Y SUS MUSICOS UNOS TERRIBLES CORNUDOS NO TE ACORDÁS CUANDO OASIS LES LLENABA EL CULO DE LECHE. Perdon, éste disco es uno de mis favoritos de toda la historia. No hay un tema que no cierre, un cambio radical que no tenga sentido, nada. Pensar que Wonderwall la habian escrito pensando "la tiene que cantar Ryan Adams" y dandosela a Liam le da un sentido totalmente distinto. Lo escucho por lo menos una vez por semana. No voy a hablar del aspecto tecnico porque es de esos discos que te tocan el alma no por "Lo bien" que suenan sino por lo que te dicen.

Si buscás la definición de britpop aparece este album. 5/5

Great album, all hits

Really like this album. Should listen to oasis more.

Eh

Above-average album. Very 90s! Couple of good songs outside the major hits

Grainy

I could not finish this album. It was alright but not my cup of tea. Anyways heres Wonderwall.

Erste Hälfte des Albums ist sehr gut. Die zweite habe ich nicht genau angehört.

Better than I thought it'd be. Wonderwall is definitely one of the weaker tracks on the album.

Brit-pop group loves The Beatles, but only “Revolver” era Beatles. Which ain’t bad, but they can’t even write a song as good as “Taxman.”

Några riktigt goa låtar men skräpigt album

Classic

Oinspirerade treackordslåtar med infantila nödrimstexter.

eh

Love the group

Klassiker, einfach gut.

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.

its oasis morning glory ofc its a 5 stars

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.

Have never been a big fan and this album confirms it. It's all ok, but just not my dudes.

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.

I liked this when it came out, but I was a kid. Never enjoyed them since, and was expecting to despise this on revisiting. However, it's actually pretty good. Songs strike a good balance between rock energy and catchy, inoffensive pop. I don't even mind the Mancunian singing too much. And the less familiar tracks in the middle were actually quite consistent (rather than low-effort filler). 3/5 - which is roughly 3 more than I expected to give it. :)

Yes. It is a masterpiece.

Had it's moments. And I do like Wonderwall. But on the whole it's very "meh".

It's weird - it's great fun, I know all the lyrics and notes, but is it good? Best?

Lots of people shit on Oasis, but they know how to make a bunch of anthemic singalongs

OK, I'll be generous. The 5* is for Wonderwall alone really. Was always more of a Roses man, but the song writing is good here. It veers into sweaty, noisy lad territory, but I've been there, and they are Mancs, so there's yr fiver

Wow, what an album. Almost all the songs are great, and after i finished i kept on repeating songs. 5 stars indeed fav. song: she's electric

Only listen to this a bit. Managed not to get Wonderwall stuck in my head. Score! Great album though.

vOndErVolLL

I'm not a big britpop fan but it's hard not to like a lot of this album, there are some really good tracks. By far the best britpop on this list so far, 3.5

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.

Not my vibe. Some classics though

3.5 afgerond naar boven

Lekker meekwelen met de hitjes, en de rest is best oké

Eh not very good despite a couple of solid ideas

Ehdotonta eliittiä, omistan levyn myös; 4,5 antaisin jos voisin. Nyt nelkku, Sorry Tuiminho joka fanittaa maasta taivaaseen levyä!

Levylle, millä on Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger ja Champagne Supernova, ei voi oikein muuta antaa kuin 5. Mutta hyvä levy muutenkin ja en taida olla aiemmin kokonaan levyä kuunnellut.

for as much crap as oasis deserves and how unlistenable wonderwall has become, this is a nearly flawless record

Voor mij altijd een band geweest die ik keurig links liet liggen. Met dit album kwam ik nooit verder dan te gniffelen om de albumtitel. Nu blijkt het ook nog eens een liedje te zijn. Sommige nummers waren echt best lekker om eens te horen..

Lähdetään siitä, että The Verve pesee Oasiksen, mutta onhan tämä timanttinen lätty.

Oasis. Meh.

Gouwe ouwe! Mooi plaatje, hoewel Oasis nooit echt 1 van mijn topfavorieten was/is

Wat een klasse album! Geen slecht nummer.

Deels vanuit sentiment (grijs gedraaid!), maar ook - nu ik de plaat weer een keer integraal luister - omdat het echt allemaal geweldige nummers zijn. Enorm van genoten!😊

Doet me niet zoveel.

Onhan tää kova. Ei yhtään huonoa kappaletta levyllä!

5/5, would listen again.

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.

Beginning of Hello, I thought the whole album was just going to sound like Wonderwall, but then it has the weird cut and then went into a different but still good sound. As Emily said, unexpectedly good album based on the "meme status" of Wonderwall.

Love the hits, rest is good.

Boring, a lot of yelling, reminds me of the 2000s, I don't mind it but its not my cup of tea

Not a patch on their debut. Ok.

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

Eh?

Incredible

It's easy to forget how massive this album was. Some really iconic tracks, but some nonsense too.

Chyba pierwszy Oasisowy, grupy ktora znalem tylko z radia, bo kto nie slyszal wonderwalla, wiec mocno popularny albumik, ktory zasluguje calkowicie na miano popowego rokowania, patrzac na to jak sie sprzedal, wiec super wreszcie przeslucham wonderwallowego albumiku, okazalo sie jednak, ze dziesiec na jedenascie trakow to doslowne wonderwalle, balladowe kalwaki okraszone niemirosiernymi refrenikami, zagranymi na jedno kopyto, wiec jesli traki ktore maja byc skitami, oddzielnymi solowkami nadaja albumikowi oddechu swiezosci, to nie jest dobrze, brytyjskie wycie znowu mnie zawiodlo, swoim katowaniem jednego schematu budowany piosenki, czegos takiego mozna sluchac dawkujac singiowo, ale w formie albumikowej jest to meczacy odsluch, na plejke nie dodaje nic nowego, bo juz klasyczny wonderwall sie na niej znajduje, a jeden trak z tego jakze monotonnego albumu w zuplenosci wystarczy

Epic

Mítico

not my thing
