(What's The Story) Morning Glory

"Morning Glory" seems to be the classical rock song. I liked the guitar parts in this song, but not the vocal at all. On the other hand "Champagne Supernova" took me away for sure/ I liked this peace. Not "Pink Floyd" but not bad

#3 Gallagher in action. Britpop

“(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” by Oasis (1995) Lyricist Noel Gallagher is consumed by his own cleverness in his unsuccessful struggle to find rhymes. Yes, ‘sister’ does rhyme with ‘blister’, but what context can possibly be invented to bring these two words together with any semblance of sense? These lyrics do have potential, showing progression and creative resolution, but are frequently marred by internal incoherence and the use, overuse, misuse, and abuse of cliches. And there’s even a daft adherence to correct grammar (“I know the roads down which your life will drive” Really? Did they teach you that at Eton?). Setting aside the moronic poetry, this album provides some musical delights. Chord progressions, while not particularly inventive, show pleasant variety. Supported by a solid rhythm section, the clean (rhythm-heavy) guitar performances carry the music well. There are some jarring but aimless compositional transitions that tend to distract. Liam Gallagher’s lead vocals, while not high quality, are sufficient for the (undemanding) musical task. Brother Noel must be really impressed with that strumming acoustic intro, since he uses it on four tracks. And remember what I said about the beauty of sibling vocal blend? Forget it. But the music flows adequately for soft rock—enough to give it a listen. Once. 2/5

The Stone Roses singing Beatles songs. I do love this album.

Brit-pop. 3 superhits.

One of the best albums ever released

Nah, still don't like Oasis.

Nolstagic but I like this one a bit less than the other Oasis album. BECAUSE MAYYYYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out" "Don't look back in anger / At least not today" "Some might say we will fight a brighter day" Classic album, plenty of enjoyable songs on. One to relax to in the background.

On my birthday I get this album!! One of my all-time favorites! I have listened this album all my life, it's been like a companion. I am no believer, but maybe this is proof that destiny exists. Masterpiece, there's not much more to say.

Great album. Most of the Oasis songs I know are from this album.

"Boring" drawn out British rock. OK for BG listening. Several Good songs.

Anyway, here's wonderwall

Oh Yah! (What's The Story) Morning Glory is a fabulous album front to back. So glad to listen today!

Not my bag baby

I never wanted to give this album a chance in the 90s because I hated the radio hits. But I listened with an open mind and it turns out I like a few of these. Overall a mediocre album in my opinion, but definitely better than I was expecting based on my previous thoughts about Oasis.

Way better than expected. I think this album is a victim of its own success. It's such good music that songs like wonderwall, champagne supernova and don't look back in anger are essentially punchlines. The deeper cuts were more enjoyable than expected! I think this a really strong 4.5 and if I was being more critical about my 5s, I wouldn't give it one...but I'll let it squeak by this time.

Better than I often remember them to be

loved this album when I was a kid. still holds up.

Dem hits

I went to a wedding where the French bridal party re-wrote Wonderwall to be the story of how the bride and groom met. Seven drunk French girls used google translate to write these new English lyrics then sang it to the entire wedding. It was not a good translation. Oh and I love this album.

Kul sound, helt sikkert mange som er veldig glad i dette albumet, men ikke noe som interesserer meg. Noe av syngingen og repetisjonen var litt irriterende, men jeg har hørt verre. Noen av sangene boppet litt, men andre var under middelmådig. Ingenting overaskende eller ekstraordinært. Svak 3.

Shame about the distortion in the sound profiling, I really can't get on with that

A few good tracks, nice to hear again after a while.

Cuando uno es joven tiende a casarse con ciertos estilos y géneros musicales, desechando y desestimando muchas cosas simplemente porque no entran en nuestra narrativa personal más que por sus méritos artísticos o falta de ellos. Con el tiempo, por ejemplo, mi odio ciego por el britpop cambió en muchos aspectos; me di cuenta que había bandas de hecho buenas como Blur, Pulp o Suede, bandas que tuvieron algún sencillo bueno pero en general eran aburridas como The Verve o Elastica, muchas bandas mediocres... y Oasis. Debo decir, llegué con una mente abierta (de verdad dejando fuera chistes y shit talking). Esperaba encontrarme con un disco que quiza no me gustara pero un 5-6/10 pudiera obtener. No podría ser tan malo. Lo es y no lo es. Lo malo es que lo malo es mucho peor de lo que pensaba por varios lados y lo bueno no subió mucho. Lo bueno... Tiene sencillos pegajosos (al menos wonderwall y champagne superblahblah), no buenas canciones... solo pegajosas. Musicalmente podría hoy en día aceptar y no encabronarme de lo simple y mediocre de su música como hace años, sigo pensando (ahora con más razón creo) que hicieron música muy mediocre de darle al más bajo denominador posible y sin esforzarse absolutamente nada pero lo que no puedo aguantar, que ahora sí me doy cuenta, es la producción de sus canciones. El disco está mezclado con las nalgas. Tuve que buscar 4 versiones distintas, entre youtube, spotify y terminar bajando un rip porque la mezcla es como el wall of sound del infierno peor hecho. Quería asegurarme que no fueran las versiones pero no, este disco suena de mierda; decía Phil Spector que creó la ídea del wall of sound para que material y canciones que no eran tan buenas sonaran mejor subiendole a todo a lo pendejo y haciendo que nomás sonara fuerte sin matices. Estos cabrones hacen eso y ni siquiera lo hacen bien, suena horrible, no se nota bajo, apenas se oye una batería ahogada y solo se oye una guitarra tocada del culo con una voz enfatizada al máximo. Hace que el St. Anger de Metallica suene a Karajan. Tenemos música mediocre y una mezcla atroz y ahora el problema es que empezamos a sumar letras estúpidas y sosas, que reflejan exactamente la ídea del movimiento britpop que lo hace tan indeseable en muchos aspectos; ese alabar al capitalismo, al sistema, a la fama... fue un movimiento que parecía empecinado en vender a la juventud "ustedes sigan el sistema y lograrán FAMAAAA y MUJEREEEES." A todo este ponche de maravilla podemos sumarle lo detestable de la personalidad de los autores principales; no debería de influir mucho pero sí lo hace, Oasis fue un gigante y lo único que realmente exportó pareciera que fue la idea de que ser un pinche naco hooligan es deseable (denme 1000 punks enfadosos antes que un pinche Gallagher). Si Dave Grohl y su personalidad me hace pensar un poco mejor de los Foo también se da lo opuesto en este caso; a material mediocre, mal mezclado y vacío le sumamos representantes de mierda. En verdad creí que iba a encontrar factores nuevos y cosas que me iban a gustar del disco, creo que mi opinión de esta banda (al menos al momento, porque seguro falta otro disco de ellos) cambia pero no mejora. Fue un álbum que sonaba horrible de una banda muy común que no merecía la plataforma, la difusión o la promoción que disfrutaban a expensas de otros actos muy superiores. Hay peores formas de pasar el poco tiempo que tenemos en esta vida que escuchando Oasis, pero no puedo pensar en tantas.

Classic british tunes

How could you not love this?

Couple good songs. Not my scene.

Creo que este disco es como el suadero, corriente pero delicioso. Cínico pero honesto, Noel dice lo que quiere decir como lo quiere decir y pese a todas las fricciones, los demás están de acuerdo con ello. Ya no sueñan con ser una Rock'n'Roll Star, no quieren Live Forever ni se sienten Supersonic como en el primer disco, sino que Hello, están de regreso, van a Roll with it mientras dure y vivirán en una Champagne Supernova mientras el mundo despierta con plena Morning Glory. Hablan como gente común, tocan tan bien como pueden y ahí radica su éxito, le dan voz a lo que siente la gente normal. No es el disco más cuidado pero no necesita serlo y por eso a muchos nos fue más fácil identificarnos con lo que dicen. Songs: Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger, Hello, What's the Story (Morning Glory

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

Amazing!

i imagine this was a thrilling listen when it dropped. i surely enjoyed it.

Great easy listen with some amazing throwback songs

I already know I love this album. My favourite Oasis album by far. It reminds me of the 90s and how I didn’t understand the visceral darkness of the rock and roll lyrics when I first heard them

Meh

Such an amazing album. Really makes it connect how big they were in the 90s

I'm not sure I ever listened to this full album before. Super solid!

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.

Not an oasis fan(far from it) but this has to be their best album(and has the only song of theirs that I enjoy "morning glory"). So even after listening again to this, I'm still not a fan. I cannot stand to listen to the whiney sounds of Noel.

Top 10 albums of the 90s

Highest rated Brit pop album. It wasn’t half bad, compared to all the other shit. A little cheesy, but mostly because of the huge overplayed-ness of some of the songs.

Noisy!

I've listened to this album in the past.

Pretty good, serene.

Previously liked songs off the album. First time listening to it as a whole. Thought it was great!

Well it's time to listen to Oasis and their 2nd album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? I'm very happy to give this a listen and enjoy one of the great albums of all time. The first song Hello is one of my favorites and I love how it starts very quiet and builds into a great song with a catchy hook. I've spent hours and hours living in the world of this album. I've thought of movies I could make with some of these songs as a soundtrack. It almost makes me re-think the order of Brit Rock greats. Pulp is still #1. But maybe this album pushes Oasis ahead of Blur for the morning in my head. I own this album in digital format and on vinyl. It's become such a part of our culture and life, that it seems like I should be tired of it by now. In the past I've grown weary with Oasis and their brotherly squabbling. And their output after this album was a bit spotty until their eventual break-up. They had some great singles come about from later albums, but I believe this is the high water mark for this band. This was lovely to visit on a random Thursday morning and relive all the good feelings it brings about. Where things felt very possible in the 90s and these big hooks and choruses floated through all the moments my friends and I shared.

Great one!

Meh

Ik ken alle nummers zonder het album ooit eerder bewust te hebben opgezet. Then again, Oasis was nooit echt m'n ding.

Great memories with this one

Hace años, durante la carrera, alguien me comentó "no puede ser que no conozcas a Oasis" y me pasó un CD con (quizá) toda su discografía hasta ese momento. El rock en inglés era un género con el que no estaba familiarizado en lo absoluto, pero me quedé con canciones como Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall y Morning Glory. Por muchos años pensé que los MP3 que me pasaron habían sido grabados con "baja calidad", especialmente con Morning Glory, hasta que tuve un internet decente y pude descargar varias versiones de las canciones, y entonces me di cuenta de que el mastering se hizo así a propósito(!!!!) Sé que es parte fundamental de la estética del disco, al punto que arrancó todo un género musical, pero en lo personal creo que en algunas canciones se les pasó la mano. Dicho esto... el disco* es genial. De hecho, me parece el mejor disco de Oasis (el segundo sería Don't Believe the Truth) con canciones épicas, vocales inconfundibles y excelentes arreglos. Las letras podrían no ser muy profundas, pero tienen algo que las hace "relatable", además de que los coros son más conocidos que Everlong ( jejeje ). Calificaría el disco con 4.5 por lo el tema de la hipersaturación del sonido, pero a quién voy a engañar... * Este review sólo considera las 12 canciones del disco original, y no todas las extra que vienen en el álbum de Spotify, pero la versión b-sides de Champagne Supernova es una CHU-LA-DA. Sería interesante que remasterizaran todo el disco con este mismo estilo; quedaría algo tipo "Let it be... naked".

Sabemos que la fama de Oasis radica en que fueron unos aprovechados en el momento indicado, no puedo mentir y decir que no me gustan algunas de sus rolas pero como personas creo que los Gallagher son no gratos, inflados y soberbios, algo que la música y la humanidad no necesita. Les voy a dar un 2 solo por que mi acercamiento a la música (ya por gusto propio) fue entre el 92-95 y el britpop fue de mucho impacto para toda una generación en ese momento

En su momento, Oasis me pudo haber caído mal, particularmente porque es una payasada la relación entre los Gallagher y su pleito con Blur. Dejando eso de lado, este disco tiene algunas rolas que me disfruto sin mayor problema. "Don't Look Back In Anger", "Morning Glory" y "Some Might Say"

Oasis has not been a favorite of mine. but reasonable music.

This is the most 90s shit I have ever heard. Did not finish.

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.

Yah it slaps, starting off strong.

Great album, always loved it

Wonderwall... Achei que as que eu nao conhecia foram melhores!

Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now

Klassikkokamaa, kenties jopa paras levy ikinä. Yksi niitä harvoja albumeja joissa kaikki biisit toimii. Kestänyt mainiosti aikaa vaikka julkaisusta yli 25v

Feels way more obvious how inspired they were by the beatles on this re-listen . Though Champagne Supernova is still a favorite of mine.

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

A straight up, meditative fucking vibe

Aside from the tracks that I was familiar with, the album as a whole wasn’t too bad. I had built up this huge stigma for years with Oasis, and I am not sure why.

3 songs that I will definitely listen to again. Overall enjoyable.

Pretty good

Great hits, but otherwise not impressed

Glad I finally listened to it all the way through. Anyway here's wonderwall

meh, listenable.. but meh

I like the songs that I already know. The other songs are okay, but the album gets pretty repetitive sounding.

I like this album a lot. I had heard it before obvi, but it is just a bunch of solid songs one after the other and I don't think I ever have the desire to skip any.

classic 90s rock, may be a bit stale at this point but still solid

Oasis didn’t have to go this hard. But they did. For us. I know Wonderwall in particular gets meme’d on but a good joke always has a bit of the truth, right? I would definitely listen to this full album again.

Couple of iconic songs (Wonderwall & Champagne Supernova) on this good album

A little kakephonic at times, or too basic. Heard the best songs too many times

Straight 🔥. Only one song is just ok. Everything else slaps!!!

perfect 5

Pure nostalgia...

Meeeeehhhh

Oasis is the height of 90s British rock

Very recognizable oasis sound. Some good ones on there.

Some good stuff, but mostly I generally find them annoying.

Awesome - classic after classic, it plays like a greatest hits.

again, I really only enjoyed the songs I knew.

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would have been. Still overstuffed and filled over the brim with unnecessary anthems and filler riff-raff. Notable highlights include Morning Glory, Don't Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say and Champagne Supernova (in spite of its length). The rest of the songs are either too bland to be interesting, too corny to be amusing or just plain overrated. 6/10

They can certainly make anthems... just not ones I get roused about. Lots of nostalgia with not a lot of sense

Seriously just not for me

Sorry, but I'm team Blur.

A classic I feel glad to have listened to. What a nostalgic sound that I really enjoy.

The songs on the first half of this album tend to blend together for me. The chords and melodies are similar, as is the general soft rock tone. The singing is good, but not distinctive, plus Liam has a propensity for going flat. Ditto for the lyrics, which ring as apathetic, but not cringeworthy or bad. I found the second half better with more lush guitar work and instrumentation in general, but still had issues with needless lyrical repetition. Oasis gets compared to the Beatles and as copying to the Beatles frequently, and their influence is certainly clear on some of the songs (most notably to me, She's Electric, both in the lyrics and in the instrumentation, Morning Glory, and Champagne Supernova). But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and I do think that there are other later influences from the 70s and 80s punk era that are also present in their music, not just the Beatles. Plus, if you're going to have clear influences, I think there are worse bands to choose. Champagne Supernova is an interesting reminder that the Beatles had limitations in their time and what they could lyrically discuss with frankness, which Oasis doesn't when it comes to things like drug abuse. Standouts for me are Wonderwall (predictable, but a refreshing outlier in the first half of the album - very necessary to break up the other songs), Some Might Say, She's Electric, and Champagne Supernova. I think the second part of this album is quite tight and good (verging on great!), but unfortunately the first half is lackluster with songs that are very similar, lyrically uninteresting, and lacking in good instrumentation. The second half tackles more interesting subjects like starstruck love and the feeling of being high, has some great guitar solos and use of other instruments like the harmonica, and the singing is generally better. The album as a whole is pretty cohesive, but not varied enough. 2.75/5

2/17 Phenomenal album, I’ve been looking for this sound for awhile, and they brought it with a crazy production level. Standout Tracks: Hello, Roll With It, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Hey Now!, She’s Electric, Champagne Supernova

ok this is a classic, not anything I need to say about it. 5/5.
