Reviews (page 2 of 16)
not at all a bad album, but every time i thought it was the last song, i’d check and there’d be 5 more songs left. …as im typing this im realizing there’s a different version (the original album) that has 12 songs, but this site directed me to the deluxe remastered edition, which has 40 songs—though i didn’t listen to disc 3, which has 14 demos/live songs. great to know i could’ve cut this album listen short by 14 songs if id just went out of my way to search for the original. oh well. although 26 songs is a lot, i did it. i knew of wonderwall, but i was more familiar with don’t look back in anger until this listen. can see why oasis is so popular. but i didn’t really like any particular songs until the last half. good, cohesive sound though.
Great Songs: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova Good Songs: Roll With It, Some Might Say, She's Electric, Mid Songs: Hello, Hey Now, The Swamp Song, The Swamp Song Bad Songs:
Whenever I hear Oasis, I feel like there's a grand, cosmic prank being pulled on me, like the music I'm hearing somehow isn't the music everyone else is hearing. People talk about how groundbreaking this band is, how they're the second-coming of the Beatles, then I listen to this album and don't hear any hint of the greatness that is attributed to them. It's like people are talking about a completely different band. The music is so bland and uninspired, and the vocalist sounds like he's just nagging at you the entire time with mediocre lyrics. That's not even to get into how obnoxious the members are outside of their music. Even if you don't like a band like Radiohead, you can at least hear the experimentation and how they pushed the boundaries of mainstream rock. I just don't hear any of that with Oasis. Most "great" albums I listen to that I don't enjoy, I can at least hear and understand what others see in it. With this one, I just don't see it. (I will, if under torture, begrudgingly admit that Don't Look Back in Anger is kind of a banger)
I really enjoyed this album. There are so many great songs I know on it.
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
Relentless tambourine.
Britpop, rock.
Y'know what, I completely understand why Oasis are as renowned as they are. I finally got around to hearing this certified Birmingham classic and man does this album rule in every way. Despite the 50 minute runtime this album keeps on rolling out banger after banger after banger without ever batting an eye. From Hello to Champagne Supernova, Oasis charms with some very simple, loud, and extremely memorable songs that continue to define the time period and any person who decides to take this album in with open arms. This album isn't nearly as dense or as layered as Definitely Maybe, but the simplicity allows the killer songwriting to really flourish into its' own in a way it wasn't really able to thanks to the very lush production on their debut. I feel like it doesn't really need to be stated how good this album is because it has stood the test of time beautifully, even with how much Wonderwall has been overplayed to death. Nuff said.
I was sort of fearing the arrival of this album. Oasis seem to have some of the worst fans in music-dom, who all seem to this that Oasis (and related to this LP in particular) are the most important, most talented and most exceptional beings in the history of everything. They are not. This is a very good album, but spoiled by over-praise, and overfamiliarity. Seems like this album was being played everywhere in 1990's UK. It is a very good album, and the songs are generally well crafted and memorable. But...it is not the holy grail, it's a four-star album.
Didn’t realize Oasis could really rock our!
Meh
Probably not a 5 but...
Such a good album

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
To be honest, I didn’t listen to this album. But I have hated every second that I’ve spend listening to anything by Oasis, so I can’t imagine I’d like this alb any more.
Fockin' amazing.
5⭐️ if i could give more then five stars I would definitely do it! I love every song that it's really hard to choose a favorite, but i think don't look back in anger has a big space in my heart so i must say it's my favorite!
Legendary album. An all timer for sure.
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.
This was the first album I listened by Oasis when I got into them last year for the first time (outside of wonderwall) and it is still my favorite. No skips for me. Some tops are hey now, she’s electric, don’t look back in anger and champagne supernova
This is a massively biased rating and review. Normally I'd listen critically. But this is more than an album. The first time I bought an album myself I picked up BloodSugarSexMagik and this one. I even fired up the old cd player for this for the full experience. I used to say there weren't any weak tracks on this one, with hindsight the production is rough and his voice does grate... But it was such an important part of my growing up, and each track has such specific memories, from people to places to moments, I can't not rate this 5.
Big guitars and very catchy songs. Not the most subtle thing but good album.
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.
This exploded somehow. It must have its merits, but I can't see past Liam's monotonous vocal delivery, the derivative songwriting and the uninteresting lyrics. They're like The Beatles from Bizarro World.
I like most things but his singing... Too funny and and unsatisfying
Oasis may not be the king of Britpop for me anymore but "Champagne Supernova" may still be the greatest song to ever be born from such a movement.
Loved this album. I need to get more into Oasis. I knew more songs on here than I realized
Great album, great year: got married, Cantona won the league
Champagne Supernova *****
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?
(yes, I'm back) Absolutely phenomenal album. A very high 4 for me and almost scratches a five, just some solid 90s rock right here. Hello is a phenomenal way to get things started and the album stays hot with Roll With It before going into one of the most iconic chord progressions ever written. I also really liked don't look back in anger, some might say, she's electric, morning glory, and of course champagne supernova as such a perfect way to end a great album. Very strong 4/5 for me
Really fun album. Surprised by how punk rock Oasis seemed compared to what I expected. Something about his voice just doesn’t do it for me so it’s a 4 not a 5 Favs: Hello Don’t look back in anger Morning glory
Excellent album, extremely close to a 5. To be honest this probably is a 5 if bridge over troubled water didn’t come right before it.
I’m happy to report that Wonderwall isn’t even close to being the best song on this album. We are Liam Gallagher maxxing. Favorites: - Roll With It - Wonderwall - Don’t Look Back in Anger - Morning Glory - Champagne Supernova
Very consistent from top to bottom with bangers littering the entire album. Favs: -Roll with it -Don’t Look Back in Anger -Morning Glory -Champagne Supernova Rating: 8/10
Oasis is the best band that ever was.
1995 British pop, rock El album con todas las canciones famosas de Oasis. Dichas canciones están guay.
(re-listen from before 1001albums) i get they were trying to 'replicate the power of the live shows on tape' or whatever it was i read several years ago now but surely theres better ways of going about it than putting all the volume knobs to 'earrape' once u look past that tho theres some proper chunes on this one innit m8 favourite song (s): champagne supernova, some might say (even tho the absurdly tambourine rendered me completely incapable of appreciating the song properly the first few listens loll) least favourite song: i actually really liked every song, which i dont remember being the case last time i listened to this album (which was a couple years ago tbf) i might just be in a really receptive mood or something, but i cant seem to fault anything but the production atm, honestly think it wouldnt be far off a 10 if the songs werent mixed so fuckily lol, i liked this album before but not to this extent so was a pleasant surprise coming back to it
An absolute belter of an album that’s the sound of its time. It holds up to this day, and hate the band if you will, but the energy and togetherness oasis brings its fan it’s world class, and not many can match it
⭐️Don’t Look Back In Anger
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.
Just as underwhelming as our near and dear friend Wonderwall. A firm 2.
peepeepoopoo
Many childhood listens. It’s nostalgic, but I don’t romanticize this album or band. Solid album with some filler.
I do enjoy Oasis sometimes, but I don't think it's something you should listen in one go. Almost every song is a banger, and they're all very energetic, but after like five songs I'm getting tired. It's just too much when you listen to an hour of Liam yelling. Returning to my point about songs themselves being cool, Oasis gifted the world some of the most uniting, heartfelt tracks, and for that they deserve a solid four. I'm team Blur btw, not that it matters in my totally honest review!
Banger. Banger. Banger. No complaints great album
Now these are SONGS!!! Timelessly enjoyable. Wonderwall is the stereotypical acoustic guitar song for a reason. Not a dull moment in the whole tracklist, consistently Oasis throughout, and highly memorable. It’s a phenomenal album.
Alright white boys! You sold me on it! This album is actually a fire album. I really thought Wonderwall was going to drag this shit to the finish line but they floated on most of the songs - cannot lie. Lead singers voice is also kinda Lennon-y? Or am I tripping. Highlights: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova
What a story Mark
Можно ли написать идеальный альбом? Братья Галлахеры скажут "Конечно можно, все наши альбомы идеальны, фокин морон". Я не считаю этот альбом идеальным, но он очень близок к этому. Начиная с драйвовой и моментально цепляющей Hello, продолжая крепкой Roll It With с чистым оазисовским фестивальным духом, затем альбом просто ультует с одной из самых известных песен всех времен и народов. Если наши пацаны во дворе учились играть на гитаре со Звезды по имени Солнце, бритиш фолк учились по Wonderwall. Но на этом ульта не заканчивается - Don't Look Back in Anger тоже мега большой хит, моя любимая песня группы, одна из моих любимых песен в караоке, и я дико рад, что мне довелось услышать ее вживую, пусть от одного из братьев, но я был частью толпы, хором поющей этот божественный припев, и это навсегда в мемориз. Но и на этом хай класс не заканчивается - Some Might Say тоже мощная композиция к отличной гитарной партией (недаром я впервые ее услышал в Guitar Hero). She's Electric - очередной бэнгер, заряжающий, супер цепляющий, до сих пор крутящийся на радио. Morning Glory - снова бэнгер, кайфовый и головотрясный. Champagne Supernova - правильно, тоже бэнгер, дико атмосферный и успокаивающий после этой карусели бритпоповского праздника. Пока в Америке все грустили под гранж, Оазис радовались жизни и помогали это делать миллионам других. Величие этого альбома не столько в количестве хитов, сколько во влиянии, которое он оказал на слушателей и множество последовавших за ними групп.
Наконец-то пик, который расставит все точки. Кто мне друг, А КТО НЕТ. Сложно измерить уровень демеджа, который нанесла эта великая группа моему мозгу. С ней я пережила все. И первый гуглеж их лиц в 8 классе (я расплакалась, потому что они оказались страшными) и последнюю сливу (которую в ноэля бросил лиам августовским днем в Париже). И в самые кринжовые дни и в самые счастливые - они всегда рядом со мной. Я худший фанат BTS. Я потащила своих друзей в пригород Манчестера, чтобы сфоткаться у дома, где они выросли (и до сих пор живет их мама лол бедная женщина. Мы ржали и шароебились там больше часа). Я заруинила всю свою финансовую грамотность поездкой на лучший концерт в моей жизни. Люблю больше всего на свете. Я реально готова на все ради этих монобровистов. Даже убить за 3 звезды этому альбому на этом прекрасном сайте.
Ещё один бритпоп в этом списке, и я начинаю стрелять
❤️
утро начинается не только с кофе - 4.5
Classic, but some might say is not a good song. Neither is she's electric
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.
If someone asks me what my youth sounds like, I'll put on this record, even though it was released long before that.
While I do think this album is everything I hate about the wave of Britpop in the '90s packed into one record, at least it does those things I hate better than most. And I probably thought I hated this album more than I ultimately did, moreso the idea of it: 50 minutes of very one-note '90s alternative cuts with vocals that start taking their toll on me way too soon. The album peaks in its first four tracks, which are admittedly all '90s staples and pretty great. The obvious highlight here is 'Wonderwall', a song that I was luckily never overexposed to, so I still quite enjoy it every time I hear it. The songs 'Hello' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger' I surprisingly really enjoyed too. Everything after those songs is this album going on for too long for me. My favourite song down the line WOULD have been 'She's Electric', with its very bouncy and throwback-y melody, but I now associate it with some fuckass Amazon commercial. Aside from that, the closer 'Champagne Supernova' was pretty decent; I enjoyed it despite being beyond exhausted with this album by this point. I mean, if you like fuzzy pop-rock that's moderately catchy, this is the album for you. It's consistent, I'll give it that, but it just feels so still and sort of forgettable, and I wish Gallagher's vocals clicked with me more than they do. As it stands, I just find this album, and Oasis, okay.
I listened to this one way too Much in the 90’s. Great album though.
Fuck I love Oasis. It's a damn shame.
Not overly keen on Oasis and I feel like their success and popularity have predominantly been defined by those first two albums and a great line of singles throughout the 90s. However, this is GOOD STUFF. Personally speaking, there’s a bit of a black spot on the album from Hey Now! to Some Might Say and part of me wishes they developed the jams into a full song because there’s so much potential there, but the rest of the album stands tall especially with Don’t Look Back In Anger, which is - in my opinion - the band’s crowning achievement across its whole discography. Top Three: - Don’t Look Back In Anger - She’s Electric - Morning Glory
Obviously the greatest. Nothing more needs to be said.
This is the kind of music I always thought depressed skater boys listened to
TL;DR: Familiar but superior classic rock elevated by a generational songwriting run from Noel Gallagher. BEFORE: I'm ambivalent about this. I don't mind Oasis but I am heartily sick of Wonderwall. I like the other singles and as always try to keep an open mind going in. AFTER: Notwithstanding that a lot of this music is heavily indebted to the Beatles and other classic rock, there are some incredible songs here delivered with energy and attitude and nothing really weak - just a bit overfamiliar. Even the bonus tracks / B-sides Talk Tonight and Acquiesce are great and Noel was on an incredible run as a songwriter. HIGHLIGHTS: Don't Look Back in Anger is their greatest song - it's perfect. Hello and Roll With It provide a vital, energetic opening. Cast No Shadow is a superior ballad. Some Might Say has a fantastic verse melody but is slightly let down by its chorus. Morning Glory's aggression, accusatory lyrics and heavy, dissonant guitars add some necessary variety. Champagne Supernova is majestic psychedelia. LOWLIGHTS: At this point, I would never listen to Wonderwall by choice, although I still like the bridge. That's really more my issue than a problem with the music. The lyrics on She's Electric could have done with a second draft. VERDICT: I expected to give this maybe 3 stars, but it's a fantastic album and I probably don't give Oasis enough credit. There are no weak tracks on here and the highs are very high. 5 stars.
Great overall album. Couple monster hits. I know some of them were overplayed. But still great today.
Annoying sounding and over-rated
it was all downhill from here
Although I was on the Blur side of the mid-nineties rivalry, I can’t deny this is an outstanding collection of songs. One of the best albums of the Nineties.
Not a great fan of this group, however this is a really good album.
Entiendo que incluyan un disco de Oasis en listas así incluso si es por lástima. Ya añadir otro es negligencia. Aburrido, insípido, poco memorable. Esta banda es el equivalente de tener a Tarantino como director favorito cuando te presentas como cinéfilo o a Bukoswki como escritor favorito. Después de los 15 años ya es indefendible.
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
actually thought this was good… turns out there’s more songs out there than wonderwall
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
This is so wonderfully and mournfully nostalgic, is that how it was viewed at the time or is it just how long it's been? Great lyrics, good vocals, instrumentals that are either purposefully understated or really impressive depending on the context. Really really enjoyed this.
Fantastic album. Wasn't a great fan of 90's brit pop, but liked Oasis, more rock than pop
So good!
Never heard all the way. Banger after banger
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.
Inget band jag lyssnat på mycket. Men en bra skiva är en bra skiva. Don’t Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say och Champagne Supernova bäst.
I always hated Oasis in the 90s mostly because of the Gallagher's cocky crap attitude. For some reason it bothered me with them even though I didn't care about the bad attitudes of punk, metal or rap groups. It just seemed more entitled I guess. Anyway, the music itself is very good, especially this album. Tons of major hits. They are definitely good song writers, and this is a great album all around. Hard to deny their talent here despite my disposition not to like them. 5/5
This just reinforces that I can't stand Oasis. However there's a lot of iconic songs on this, I see why its on the list
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
Great album. Very pleased. Need vinyls
A couple of enjoyable songs, very shallow
Every time takes me back to 11yr old me listening to this in the car. Loved “She’s Electric” back then. No track feels wasted listening again now. Not a huge fan of “Hey Now” but otherwise every song feels classic.
apart from the two famous songs I didn't like the album. So many other better britpop 90's albums
The pinnacle of 90s Britpop. Such a spectacular album front to back. I thought I’d not want to listen to Wonderwall for the upteenth time but it was just as I heard it the first time, especially surrounded by the rest of this album.
Oh bother. Not for me. Nothing wrong with it specifically, but I don't want to listen to this. It's just tired and dull to me. I really don't like Oasis.
Terrific work.
Ugh. Boring, droning, overrated crap. I hate Oasis, their cynical greed and their egomania. Above all, I hate their music. Aah, I feel better for getting that off my chest! :-D
AND AFTER AAAAAAAAALLL
Jolly good!
Underwhelming, can remember when it came out, was a blast back then
it's ok i guess, not a fan of oasis
very nice (first listen in years)
4.75 almost a 5 due to the heavy hitters
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
Solid album. Good progression and ender. Forgot wonderwall was off this
Tough one... #relisten
Just a really solid album.
Happy for this beautiful my first album, I like so much
10/10
3.4 I liked it but oasis is not my favorite. They have a certain vibe i can fw from time to time.
This is one of the quintessential sounds of the 90s. So tied to a specific place and time that it really is a snapshot of what it was like in 1995 England. Or at least that's how it feels, I wasn't alive and I live in Canada. Did see them last year in London though so I think I understand the vibe.
Already know that one ofc
7/10
Not really that good not sure what all the hype has been about this album
Liked!
This is oasis at their peak Every song here is super strong Wonderwall isn’t even one of the best tracks which goes to show how strong this album is Hello was really cool with its medley type thing She’s electric and don’t look back in anger are just straight Beatle rip offs but it works really well 4.5/5 Favorites: she’s electric, don’t look back in anger, morning glory
Bit better than the first one. Still quite boring and repetative, with only a couple of worthwhile songs
"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
Derivative crap. I’m grew up in the era of Oasis being the best thing ever and the only fn I manage to conjure from this was working out which 60s/70s song the semi interesting part is lifted from. The cult around this is also deeply wrapped up in the kind of English exceptionalism that gave us Brexit and all the problems that come with that. They aren’t even the second best britpop band.
4/5
Some might say that Oasis were the second coming of the Beatles. In reality, they were more like the second coming of Slade. That's not the worst thing in the world and, while I'm tempted to give this a low mark, because Oasis are the favourite band of so many shit-munchers, (What's The Story) Morning Glory is actually pretty good.
4,5/5
My mum has always hated Oasis, and so I was raised hating Oasis. Which is sad, because the rest of the UK seams to fucking love them. Christ, Wonderwall is basically the national anthem at this point. Unfortunately, I still hate Oasis. The music is fine, I've never been a fan of Britpop, but it's totally fine. It gets a 2 just for that. That is my final offer. Don't kill me.
none of u know how special this album was to me in 2023
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. Lame. Insufferable . And also catchy which is the worst combination.
One of my most listened to albums of the nineties. I enjoy it from start to finish, even if Wonderwall is overplayed.
Really liked the album containing wonderwall. Thought i would hate it since im not usually into rock, but it makes sense that olivia rodrigo and other pop rock artists took inspiration from this. I think it still stands the test of time and its a refreshig sound to hear. Fav song: champagne supernova
Feel Good.
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
Album of my teenage years
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.
It's easy to hate on Oasis because they make it easy. Musically unadventurous, aggressive personality conflicts, being britpop's ultimate poster children, that adds up. But still, this album is kind of the positive side of all of those things. Nothing here is great, but it's dialed. These songs all hit on their own, they all sit together nicely without being too samey, it's produced commensurate to the sound, the references are myriad and noticeable but not distracting. This thing was made in the britpop lab and despite what 1001 albums would have you believe, about 90% of the other britpop albums do not need to be heard. This one, yeah, probably. It, for better or worse, is the britpop eidolon
I've already listened to this
so bsöff uncs finded das höchsti kunst. wonderwall gid abzüg
Classic tomfoolery
This is the second album by Oasis and has more ballads, is more pop and has more orchestration than the previous album. In general, it's better. It has a few very popular songs on here (Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory Champagne Supernova) and the other songs are solid although similar. Critics also mention the songs sounding like others bands (i.e. Beatles, T-Rex, John Lennon and REM). Liam's is a big reason for the band success. He has a great voice for the music. But overall I think Oasis is a good band that has some good songs but is not great the way some people think.
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 hated the guys, heard more than listened. But it’s actually a very good and enjoyable album.
Why can’t all Indie rock be this good
Absolutely sublime bangers with some pretty good deep cuts. A classic
No doubt a great album and very relevant to the whole 90s culture. Some songs are epic, others forgettable. On re-listen I'm enjoying Hey Now! more and more. A Must Listen but not a 5 star.
Great album. Oasis had 2 excellent albums right outta the gate, hard to pick one over the other, they are both so good. killer songs throughout on this one like Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova are well known classic songs.
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.
First britpop album and it's Oasis oh no. Hello - starts like Wonderwall but is better Roll With It - hate this song with passion Wonderwall - starts like Hello but is worse Don't Look Back In Anger - probably their best song Hey Now! - I quite like it The Swamp Song 1 - idk what to say to that Some Might Say - defines my love/hate with Oasis (but really like Acquiesce it's a B-Side from the single) Cast No Shadow - don't hate it don't love it She's Electric - honestly such a banger, one of my favourites Morning Glory - have to be in a certain mood to like this one The Swamp Song 2 - Swamp Song from Blur is better there you have it Champagne Supernova - weeweryouwaweeweregettinhigh
Such a great album, even if I do now cry at don't look back in anger ever time now. Why did he have to drop back so early!! England heartbreak
te amo wacho
One of those bands and albums that don't really need some deep background work to bring up. You know Oasis, you know >that song<. You know Champagne Supernova, etc etc. Not doubting its importance at all. I thought Raw Power by The Stooges was an album meant to defy dynamic range and high fidelity that bands like Steely Dan or [insert funk or soul record here] would love. I say this as a metal fan and a fan of loud abrasive music that a record like this cannot and should not be so brickwalled in its compression that makes Noel like the only audible thing at all times. I can't even hear the rhythm guitarist or the bassist do anything with how loud and jarring it is. Sure you can hear the snare and maybe sometimes a cymbal or two (hard challenge: not on champagne supernova), but it's so incredibly distracting to the (allegedly good) songwriting that it just engulfs everything. This isn't just any ordinary britpop record, it's THE Britpop record, and one of the most important and focal album of the 90s. But I have to admit it, What's The Story Morning Glory and Oasis are definitely overrated. Everyone knows their big hits (we'll get to that later) and they're cherished as one of those "post-Beatles Great British Bands canon" as England still holds a strong cultural capital in the world. I never listened to Blur before this site gave me Modern Life Is Rubbish, and that record sweeps. Maybe because it was mastered without any fucking issue with compressing the absolute fuck out of dynamics that would make something like Wonderwall better, or even make that cooldown part in Champagne Supernova stand out more. No, they let partied out Iggy Pop take his hands on the console for this. Well if they actually did that, he would have done a better job. Also it wouldn't be britpop either but that's the fun of thought experiments. So yeah, let's talk Wonderwall. A song that will live forever like Funkytown/Smoke On The Water/Mr. Brightside/Seven Nations Army, people will still play and know how these songs go until humanity is crushed by wild boars and dolphins. But the song is terrible. I don't mean that because it's played all the time and people sing along to it, but because it's such a cliche, daft love song that's so god damn cheesy that if you play it at a wedding, I will ensure I try to see you less often. Don't waste the most special day in your life on this planet to hear that fucking bullshit expression of love. There are so many other songs that would do the same trick. Don't get me started on how beginners like to learn this song on guitar first. Fuck that and fuck you!!!!!!! The guitar is such a fun instrument and people want to play this shit instead of trying to work hard and practice more to play literally anything else. I'm begging to you: please be more creative. Please. The other main song is Champagne Supernova. Aside from my criticism of that song in the "god damn this album is needlessly loud" section of the review, it's a much better song than Wonderwall. It serves its purpose and fits the Britpop genre perfectly. But I still don't like how Oasis essentially took the Madchester formula, did that work to make an album that sounds like fighting in the trenches of WW1 while talking about English life in the early to mid 90s at the same time. It's an example of the different goals at effect here: louder is not always better for every genre. If Oasis wanted to sound this loud, they should have gone for a more Shoegaze direction, but I guess that wouldn't sell better records than being all deep in the Britpop phenomenon. I did kind of like Don't Look Back in Anger, it's lyrics are (admitted by the Gallagher's) to be nonsense, but that can work with this level of mastering. Morning Glory is mostly good too aside from the fact you can hear clear brickwall all over the second half of the song, but it matches the production aesthetic Noel clearly wanted the record to sound like. Maybe next time they should make an album that sounds more like Spiritualized, but the guitar brain in him can only hear in the audible range a guitar has instead of remembering that bass and cymbals exist. The rest of the album is a total whatever. Probably would be so much better if it was never touched by Noel at all, but it doesn't matter. It sold a shit ton of records and made Oasis a household name, washing our mouths away from the filth of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain being big names. Oasis beat Blur in America (that's the Woohoo band as we know them here), the Gallaghers constantly pop up in the media and even on social media not giving a single shit about anything but themselves mostly because they made this record and some other stuff that would keep them in pop culture status forever. Almost like Guns N Roses was for their career, but Appetite for Destruction at least was a good record that was loud but didn't sound LIKE THIS WITH EVERY SONG AND GUITAR BEING IN ALL CAPS over the lowercase bass/drums/rhythm guitarist Oasis swears they employ in their band. I get why those big songs are so popular, but it would be better for the music world if Oasis was not as big as they still somehow are today. Without making any new records, they're still a big name. I can't really get that. I'd say because it appeals to the lowest common denominator but I think that would be somewhat offensive. I understand why this album is good for many people and less so understand how it's still so big today, but I can't shake off that it's just okay. Nothing more than just being okay. It's not even the best record of 1995! But it's just okay.
Wonderwall stands out. The others below average. At least the singing is above Pop average.
So excited to see this album after several odd choices.
Buenazo. No me acordaba de lo bueno que es menos los hits. 4/5
3.5
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.
This whole album really gives nostalgic and indie 90's britpop rock vibes For some reason, it oddly reminds me of country music back in Texas The theme and atmosphere of every song is light but sentimental Vocals remind me of 2000's alternative rock or indie rock The instrumental is grungy and balanced so I enjoy it Everything from the instrumental to the lyrics really show the message Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger are trips man Champagne Supernova and Morning Glory is kind of sad What's The Story? Morning Glory By Oasis 40% Production 9.2/10 40% Vibes 9.5/10 20% Lyrics 8.8/10 100% Overall 9.24/10 I really love this album, it's vibes but it punches you in the gut It really reflects the perspective of a man between two pillars of glory and depression. Definitely recommend for general and causal alternative rock / indie rock fans.
These guys really were the next evolution of Brit pop. And I mean that as a compliment. The guitars really fill in all the space without being too noisy. Vocals are distinct and well done. Lyrics are complete nonsense. A very good album I’d come back to.
really good songs but also some boring
(9.4) All time classic, full of bangers.
Yet another one I don't get the fuss over.
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
The lads are mad fer it! Sunshyiiiiiiiiiiiine
Nope, Oasis can fuck off.
dam we got a no-skipper here
Biblical
A solid and nostalgic album. There are some commercial hits here and memorable moments. Very good listening experience.
Don’t look back in anger and champagne supernova are on their own good enough to make this album 5 stars, but the rest of the tracklist is so good as well. One of the best 90s rock albums.
Can't stand this drivel. Twat central. 1/5
ive never intentionally listened to oasis before even though i obviously know most of this album already via osmosis or something idk, and i seem to be feeling grumpy today so here goes liam's voice is unbearable and wonderwall is shit. i have fun hearing some of these songs individually but a whole album of this samey whiney nonsense is too much jfc apparently i'm now required to move out of manchester
BUT MAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR
Day/Album #50 rewarded me with one of the best albums of all time. Perfect 5*. No notes.
In my humble view, this is Oasis’s magnum opus. Just a great rock and roll record. Top to bottom no weak links.
🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 Emily has been disapproving of me skipping around here and there when I feel like my life is too precious to spend listening to certain albums since this skews our statistics, so when I saw (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? was today’s album, I decided it was about time I logged my first one star. It seems I am the fool today, because amidst the noxious audacity radiating off of the Gallaghers, I’d forgotten Oasis isn’t exactly ass. They’re just… fine. All of their baseless proclamations of being the next Beatles must really ruffle my feathers, but most of their tactlessness exists outside of the music itself—even their constant theft that everyone seems to just brush off doesn’t negate that they’re good performers. Certainly, Morning Glory? isn’t free of this kind of copycat behavior; no one’s getting fooled into thinking Gallagher minds are behind “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” but after some research, it seems like this is just the most obvious of many Beatles, um, homages. Compared to “Cigarettes and Alcohol,” these occasional sprinkled chords are harmless, and I’d even treat them like easter eggs (seemingly Oasis’s intention) were the Gallaghers not constantly waxing lyrical about their creative genius. Everyone’s a thief, and even they seemingly admit this, but it doesn’t seem to have instilled any humility in them. Are they aware they’re stealing and overcompensating? Are they even that self-aware? To their credit, they seem to have managed some iconic melodies of their own, which succeed with me to varying degrees. I have to say, I feel like Oasis pop-rock annoys me less when it’s not trying to be “raw” and “edgy” like everyone says they are. “Hello” was far more eye-rolling than “Roll With It” or “She’s Electric” because those are unapologetic, unpretentious ‘60s throwbacks, still doing someone else’s thing but somehow less performatively. Most of these songs are neither, though, instead being primarily inoffensive clap-along rock arena ballads, many of which I don’t really mind. While “Champagne Supernova” was an insufferable, seven-minute fuck-you to cap off fifty inane minutes, I’ll admit to nodding my head along to “Some Might Say,” even if the lyrics were mega ass. I also enjoyed the riff on “Morning Glory,” which is nothing new but it’s well utilized here, especially when it kind of shatters in the noisy section—fun detail. The infamous “Wonderwall” doesn’t annoy me nearly as much as I remembered it did, but I think I wouldn’t be able to stand it if I were subjected to nineties levels of airplay, or just one of those fabled parties where a guy whips out his acoustic guitar and says “Here’s….” It does make me wonder if my favorite songs would survive being popular. On one hand, I think I can tell if a song’s emotion can persist when I overplay it, but that’s not the same as being an inescapable cultural phenomenon and hollowed out by shallow trendiness. Then again, I’m not really sure “Wonderwall” has much to hollow out in the first place, you know? It’s can see it being one of those songs you bop your head along to, but not a craze that swept nations. Honestly, I’m really just struggling in general with how high the rating for this album is on the global reviews, but it does make me feel so much better about the crowd I’m always disagreeing with. I guess it’s just one of those values things—to think I almost felt ashamed for loving Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Bone Machine, Blackstar, or anything Björk, when those are clearly creative and visionary proclamations of authenticity (and that’s what makes them, like, really fun). Those traits are also what I value in the other highest rated albums on this site—looking at you, Abbey Road—making these visionary peers far closer to “being the next Beatles” than anything Oasis claims. Yet as much as other people like “Abbey Road” to the same degree I do, I think we still aren’t seeing eye to eye. After this, it’s clear I’m not in it for the same things as a lot of people are, which is a little disheartening, but that’s fine. I know how that sounds, but I think I’m okay with that now, actually. Something something “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.” Except that’s a Rick and Morty quote, so I really just invalidated my whole argument here, didn’t I? 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities) | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing
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!
Aside from Wonderwall being one of the greatest songs of all time, this is actually a pretty solid album of well-crafted pop songs.
6,92
My opinion has VASTLY changed! After giving a real relisten, I loved this! Aside from the ‘Swamp Song’ interludes, every single track was great, I particularly love ‘Hello’, ‘Roll With It’, ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’. I have always loved Blur, so I think I went in pretty closed-minded last time, but this time I went in unbiased and I think that it was necessary to do that. It’s not flawless, some tracks (I’m talking about you ‘Hey Now!’!) dragged on for longer than they needed while remaining pretty basic. I think the phenomenal ‘Champagne Supernova’ immediately brings the album up a few points, but as a whole it was very consistently enjoyable!
Omg!! Champagne Supernova!!
Better songs on here than Wonderwall. Morning Glory should've gotten more popular.
Has to be a 5 star album. Anyone like myself born in Manchester, growing up through the 90s, can, on some level, relate and will have memories connected to at least one of these tracks. One of the greatest British rock'n ' roll albums
One of the first albums that was mine and not my parents’. I listened over and over on my discman and I knew (and still know) every layer of every song. Can hum along to any instrument. And despite all that, I’m not tired of this album. Working out how much nostalgia is contributing to my love of this album is really tough. It was such a moment. It felt like representation when they burst onto the scene - something that makes little sense given that the only status I shared with the boys in oasis was class. Of all the albums, this one is special because it’s the first I chose. I truly love it and it still hits, all these years later.
Okay this album obviously gets 5 stars for me. Not only was almost every track on here a banger, but it has immense memories tied to it! Takes me right back to 1995 when I had just moved here to SLC, getting ready to get on the bus to go work at Park Lane, I'd put the CD on even if I only got to listen to a couple songs before having to leave. These were magical times for me. This album is great!
Phenomenal opening song, phenomenal second song, and now Wonderwall lol. And now I get to read about all the drama. Crazy that millions of people weren't wrong about this one. I've always known Wonderwall, and only became aware of Oasis during their reunion tour and then understood how popular they were/are. And this album is exactly up my alley, I love it. This is why I have to do this projects like this; there's so much music that I should have heard already but haven't.
Love Oasis, fight me. Only critique is some of the endings of their songs draaaaaag on a bit. But still love this album 5
It has some great songs but overall pretty boring. I don't like this guys but I tried!
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is an absolute classic. Almost exactly a year after seeing Oasis live at Wembley on their reunion tour, it felt like the perfect time to revisit the album that was the soundtrack to so much of my youth. A drive down to Brighton was the ideal setting for it. This is an easy 5/5. From the opening notes to the closing track, every song is a belter. It's one of those rare albums where there isn't a weak moment, and nearly every track could have been a single. Even after all these years, I still get excited when I put it on. It has an energy, confidence and swagger that very few albums can match. More than anything, this record is pure nostalgia for me. It instantly transports me back to the 90s, reminding me why Oasis became one of the biggest bands in the world. Noel Gallagher's songwriting is exceptional throughout, the melodies are unforgettable, and Liam Gallagher delivers every lyric with the attitude and conviction that made him such an iconic frontman. The amazing thing is that it still sounds fresh today. These songs haven't lost any of their impact. They're just as anthemic, just as exciting and just as enjoyable as they were nearly thirty years ago. For me, this isn't just one of the best Britpop albums ever made—it's one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Favourite tracks: "Hello", "Roll With It", "Some Might Say" and "Morning Glory" are all perfect, although I could easily have listed another half a dozen. Least favourite tracks: There aren't any. Every track deserves its place, and there's nothing here I'd ever think about skipping. Album artwork: An iconic album cover. I only wish Berwick Street still looked like it did back then.
appreciated it. hella british
Incredible album. Classic. Best of Brit Pop.
Only like one skip on this whole thing. Just a gold standard as far as rock records go. Consistent energy, great performances, catchy hooks, etc. I think the only downside would be that the production could be a bit crisper as it sometimes though 4/5
i quite like this album actually.
iconic songs, i think i remember my dad playing this when he was younger. really good listen
Bjeno
Not the biggest fan, but they're such an iconic band and this album has too many bangers to not get 5 stars
I thought it was a great rock album and would likely rate it at a 5 if it was more of my kind of music. Its a great album with many hits. Would likely listen to Oasis again.
This album confirmed that I hate Oasis, and that Liam Gallagher's voice and delivery are impressively annoying. The only redeeming song on this album for me was "Don't Look Back in Anger," which of course Noel sings and not Liam. For me, listening to Oasis is torture.
I’m a relatively new Oasis fan so this was my first time hearing this album in its entirety. The hits are obviously great but the other songs are often just as good.
Great album. 4.1
This album was huge when I was a teenager, but I was never into it beyond the singles. It still surprises me how popular Oasis is (#102 in the world on Spotify).
I love it
3/5
A few amazing songs, the rest were ok
Bleh. I never really liked any of the hit songs on this album, but there are a lot. It has its time and place. Reminds me of dad playing music too loud on ski trips.
A perfect album honestly.
esse é bom tbm
5 Absolute classic. People can be a bit smug about criticising Oasis but they could really write a hit, this album in particular is start to finish bangers
Oh man, this is an amazing album. I remember your aunty Clare hunting high and low for it when we were in Europe the year it came out. It was impossible to get in Darwin, and proved just as hard to find there. That probably just shows the impact it had. Don’t fall into the Blur or Oasis wars, you’ll lose either way. Enjoy them both, and sing along loud to this.
Ok this is objectively great. Not my favorite style but yeah hard to fault. 4.5 rounding up
Wonderwall does all of the lifting here.
I tried to rate this four stars and Andy Burnham sent the police to my house
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.
Fortuitous that this album comes along as the World Cup ends. The sight and sound of the English fans singing Wonderwall to the Team was a highlight. Pity the cheating and disgusting Argies never got to hear it to its full power. Still, on the back of the World Cup, I’m sure sales of this album have recently increased worldwide. Especially so in the Falkland Islands where I have an image of the Islanders singing I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now and giving it two fingers across the Southern Atlantic. Not many albums I can think of which has a banging track one after another from start to finish. Noel Gallagher is a master songwriter who has produced some of the most memorable and singalong melodies ever. This album is full of them and one I will regularly stick on to brighten my day and sing my head off. A real landmark album and one which will be talked about and played forever. 5/5 21/7/26
Already listened to this albums iconic album really of course though it’s freaking oasis
Great!! It always makes me chuckle that for brothers who make such amazing music together they really can't stand each other. Such a great album though.
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 detest Oasis. It this isn’t terrible.
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
Brings me back to a tortured adolesence
Oh yeah. An easy five star. Filled with a lot of songs that, if they had been written by the Beatles, would STILL be considered some of their best songs. Only minor nitpick is those two Swamp Song tracks seem to be pointless filler, but it doesn't take anything away from this album.
This album was part of the major Britpop trend in the 90s. But with those albums the question is always: Does it follow the trend or did it set the trend itself? It feels as though this album set the trend and therefore can be considered a major influence in 90s music. There are many great songs on here and the entire album feels whole. 5/5
Turns out oasis is good wonderwall is just the worst damn song on this album
Solid album!
Their better album
This album was everywhere when it came out in the 90's and spawned multiple smash hit singles that still get tons of airplay today. It's one of those cultural phenomenon albums that you had to be there to appreciate the hugeness. That aside, the whole record is amazing. Even the album tracks seem to have the magic of the hits. This one stands the test of time, and remains as great as it was decades ago.
I wish half star ratings were possible as this is what I figure is a 3.5 star album, it has the hits, the ones everyone knows but it's bogged down by a couple skips preventing it from being a 5
I know this one already
I’ve been in a full on Oasis mood recently so this is perfect timing. Champagne Supernova is my fav song of the album. She’s Electric and Some Might Say were my other highlights. Morning Glory was my fav first listen
After 'Roll with it' lost out to 'Country House' I have clear memories of the 3 star review it was given by Q magazine (gave 5 stars to Blur great escape!) before it became THE album of late 1995 - early 1996. They got a new drummer after the 'some might say' single, they mixed the acoustic with the electric far more so the noise war guitar mix from Owen Morris only appeared about 5 times this album. To have three no.1s and a no. 2 single certainly is a good reason for it to be one of the biggest UK albums of all. Listening today, aside from the unnecessary 'swamp song', this album is consistently tuneful and only 'Hey now' is merely ok. Deservedly in the list and a classic album for the Britpop generation.
C'mon ENGLAND
Era defining
I prefer Definitely Maybe as an album but Morning Glory has so many solid hits. Theres no real low points but the songs are definitely more anthemic than "rock and roll". Champagne Supernova gives it atleast 2 stars off the bat. I would skip the untitled songs and maybe cast no shadow but overall its a great brit pop album. Best tracks are 3,7,9,12. 4.0
I got this CD from one of those catalogues the record labels had, when I was a kid. Even then I thought it kinda stunk, but that was before I had listened to every other English rock record released around the same time. Could be worse.
Isch en banger aber ha gmeint wird tuffer. Ha denkt es save call 5i aber teils scho fast basic pop-punk songs.
If you are looking for a good album that sounds nothing like the Beatles, this is it. “Morning Glory” is the quintessential 90s album, and it’s musically engaging. It would be an easy 5/5 if not for Liam Gallagher’s nasally vocal style and overwrought British accent. I’m all for unusual vocalists (Dylan, Young, Beefheart) but the nasally 90s sound wears thin, in fact I think it detracts significantly. (The Beatles didn’t sound like that!) So, about those Beatles. Oasis gets compared to them because, best as I can gather, they want to be. Not because they sound like The Beatles: they don’t. I can hear Nirvana, Green Day, and in one song Elton John. I can hear 70s rock. I can hear walls of sound and garage bands and grunge. I can honestly hear everything BUT the Beatles. And I really like the Beatles. So again, if you want something that is not the Beatles - like, not at all - this would be a great starting point.
Great second album, and a clear indication that Oasis is not just your run of the mill 90's brit pop phenom. I still struggle with the vocals (mostly whiny and nasal sounding), but the music is solid and a step forward for the band whose debut was also good. I am not a true believer, but I enjoyed the album. Still not sure I'd consider them the fab two, but they get honorable mention for sure.
G, wonderwall, don't look back in anger and hello are my still my top. The swamp song is pretty good either. It's a shame it's so short, i'd hear a longer version. Some might say - also's doing well. i mean this album's pretty good. although, i would have lied if i said i heard every song by heart. I skipped some parts. Okay - upgrade - cast no shadow is fine, i think i've heard she's electric somewhere before
Hvað er að gerast??! Þetta er drullugóð plata. Textasmíðin verulega banal vissulega, en slagararnir eldast ágætlega og titillagið er drullu flott og productionin til fyrirmyndar. Ég þarf að finna hattinn minn og éta hann. Hafið þó ekki of miklar áhyggjur af mér, Wonderwall er enn botninn.
Good reminder why I like Blur and not Oasis
Love love love
El fenómeno definitivo del Britpop noventero que ha envejecido bien como una cápsula del tiempo urbana y nostálgica. En el plano de diseño formal, la producción de Owen Morris crea una muralla sónica de guitarras donde el sonido no se percibe saturado, sino que despliega una gran variedad melódica que remite directamente a la vida en la ciudad, capturando el pulso acelerado de la juventud noventera que marcaba la época de MTV. La entrega vocal e instrumental irradia una fuerza y calidad en la voz que transmite autenticidad pura, respaldada por la actitud desafiante y la arrogancia característica de los hermanos Gallagher. Himnos generacionales e imperdibles como "Wonderwall", la épica "Champagne Supernova" y la inconfundible "Don't Look Back in Anger" ("Sally can wait") construyen un documento conmovedor, crudo y real que funciona como un sutil llamado a la conciencia, retador, soberbio e irónico, invitando a la fraternidad colectiva desde el orgullo urbano.
peaskkk
Perfect album for a day like today
It's coming home
Probably the only Britpop album worth listening to on this entire list
Still sounds incredible.
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.
Cannot deny how iconic this album is. Not the type of music I'll choose to listen to but if I've had a couple drinks and some tracks from this album come on then I'm right there baby.
start to finish bangers, no mucking about, fiiiiiiiive
Trying to see this with no preconceptions, and its just great.
It could have been a 5 if it wasn't for songs like "She's Electric" which ape the Beatles in the worst possible way. Normally I'd consider it an homage but for Oasis its more of a skinsuit and seeing as how the Gallagher's comment on other artists so rudely fuck them twats and their shite beatles shit
I never got the hype for Oasis but I appreciated the contribution their music brought to the culture of the time and enjoy guitar bands. Looking at the track listing, it was full of the hits I knew but listening filled a couple of gaps and I heard the familiar tunes in the intended running order. A good listen.
esse eu sei quem é só nunca escutei, começou maneiro meu deus atualizaram o spotify eu to muito triste conheço mais músicas
A collection of some of the greatest Britpop songs ever made. Truly a 10/10 classic & a legendary album.
This album has all the hits on it. Some spanning way after Oasis split up. It's such a tight album with no real wasted space. There were two songs I was kind of meh on, but everything else was gangbusters. The album is well produced, has a lot of energy, and has immense staying power. Everyone knows Wonderwall. This album is excellent top to bottom.
Tengo que comenzar dejando registro que este album me toca escucharlo justo el día en que se confirma una semis de Mundial vs Inglaterra. Y encima con los ingleses metiendo Wonderwall como canción con su gente al final de cada partido. Insoportable. Ahora sí, vamos. Hace años con Oasis me pasa lo mismo. Sus hits sonaron tanto en tantos lados que estoy muy mal acostumbrado a lo que son. Y no es culpa de la banda. Ni menos de las canciones, o de este álbum. Este álbum es una guía sobre cómo poder hacer que el rock, un genero que para 1996 tenía 30 años de hegemonía encima, siga dando himnos. No es poco. De hecho, es un montón. Roll with it, Wonderwall, dont look back.., some might say, champagne supernova.. Y encima capaz te encontrás una Morning Glory, un no hit radial de esa época, que entre tantos otros te pasó desapercibido antes y está bárbaro. No hace falta que algo te conmueva para darte cuenta cuando es bueno. Con Oasis me pasa eso. 8/10
it was much better than i thought, i read somewhere that britpop was somewhat reactionary to shoegaze (?) so i for some reason thought it'd feel more pristine in production value but it felt raw in a good way
I mean its oasis do I even need to say more. I already listen to oasis and it was and absolute pleasure to discover an album of theirs that I hadn't heard before. Top album
Far from my favourite band but it's undeniable how good this album is from a songwriting point of view. It hits the mark song after song. Incredibly high level of consistency.
The deep cuts aren't as grating as the singles, but this band just rubs me the wrong way. Lyrics are "deep" if you're a middle schooler that's never read na book before. They aren't pleasant enough as a band to be pop and lack any of the edge or creativity that existed in the 90's alt rock scene.
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
The singer is just okay but the wall of sound they create with the guitars and other instruments is enough to carry him through. It helps that the songs are all quite good.
Note
it's a classic I love oasis but this is not my favorite album from them tho it's always fun to listen it has some of their most popular tracks
Dont really care
Frábær hlustun út í gegn.
For all the bullshit they got, deserved and otherwise, at the end of it all, Oasis was just a hell of a rock band. That's the point of this record and its launchpad for the quintessential Britpop band, one that really didn't do much but add a thick layer of grunge guitars on the British Invasion songs the Gallagher were clearly inspired by. Their reconciliation is probably the happiest thing to happen in recent years, and while they may not make any new music together, it shows what a massive creative force they were when they could hold it together and put aside their issues.
Överlag ganska starkt låtmaterial. Influenser från, Beatles, Stones, T-Rex. Bredbent, ger mig en tom känsla. 3.5
Really terrific stuff, only album to make me envious to be a young adult in the 90s UK. But for some reason, I can understand why it wasn’t as big of a hit in the states, something about the album is uniquely British.
I love this loser rock
very good walking album, liked the song with the name Sally in it
UR MY WONDERWAAAAAALLLLL!!!
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
Once of generation defining albums.
Some of the most beautiful melodies ever I understand why Jon Bellion used Wonderwall as his wedding song I was dead set on hating this album bc I have personal beef with John Oasis but you just can’t hate perfection
I didn't like them at the time. I was wrong.
I was born in England in 1994 so needless to say, they’ve kinda been pushing this one on me ever since I had ears. But for all the time I’ve spent listening to it, and then trying not to listen to it, and then listening to it some more, I don’t think it’s ever really lost its particular (and singular, considering how they fell off afterwards) charm. There’s some tracks I love, there’s some tracks I like less than others, there’s times when all the inspirations click and they make great work, there’s times when the wall of sound and Liam singing out of his sinus bugs me. Yet, it’s all in the charm, the undeniable swagger of the thing like a perfect monument of Manchester and Britain in 1995, from saying hello to blowing up like a star in the course of an hour, and taking you on the journey with them. Just messed up I had to stay indoors listening to it, when it’s a sunny day and I should have been out in my bucket hat with a few cans and the lads talking about the footie.
Che balsamo!
Was long saved a lot of songs that sounded good, loved the vibes, especially Wonderwall its popular for a reason recommended.
It’s like they were allergic to making a bad song for this album.
This album is so good. It has a really recognisable vibe and all the songs fit well into the timbre soundscape. It also has some CLASSIC songs that have stood the test of time. I think my one thing that I would say is I wish there was a little more variety because sometimes the songs can blend together a bit but I don’t know if that’s just because it’s my first listen through as well
boring as hell
Pretty solid britpop album with one of the most infectious and overplayed songs ever. Keeps up good energy but gets a little lackluster after the first couple tracks. The vocals sometimes work for the songs, sometimes cut through in a less that ideal way that can be distracting. Overall entertaining enough to put on, but doesn't quite hit that final gear of total excellence. Top tracks: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Morning Glory
aah jo kenni sogar. de eint song seg no guet. actually cool dases mit de wonderwall chords afangt und denn abbricht. hello isch zwor würkli nume en opener aber s isch trotzdem en verdammt guete song. refrain mega chords wo schön gheied. guet gmacht. s isch sooo luuut gmasteret fuuuck. aber scho au geil s brätscht richtig. roll with it huere geil er singt sooo geil. ischer amel chli flat extra?? bgvs huere geil. wie d drums inechömed bi wonderwall wirdi nie nöd mega geil finde. au wenni de song nüme mues ghöre. aber da isch nöd ihri schuld. istiig i die zweit strophe au geil. dont look back in anger viel de besser song. komischi lyrics aber saaaaauguete mitgröler. krass. immerno overplayed vlt overrated bla bla bla aber guet isches ebe. sehr guet. refrain vo hey now findi seeeehr geil. oder ischs de prechorus? egal döt woner halt hey now seit. some might say au en saaauguete refrain und schellechranz so cool. und standing at the station teil sooo coool. ok ich has chli gern. mann. ich bi en basic dude. find easy geil wie d drums immer mit rods gspielt sind und nöd mit sticks. git en huere eigene sound. she's electric isch de best oasis song fight me. so guet. outro chords so geil, melodie so geil, text easy funny. hammer. würkli krass geschrieben noel und sooo geil gsunge. und de beatles schluss haha. title track isch vorallem luut. scho no cool. aber seeehr in your face.

OVERRATED OVERRATED OVERRATED Des grandes gueules… mais pas grand chose derrière
Initialt en fyra men sen kommer sista halvan. Det är för många stora låtar som har en plats i mitt hjärta och i pophistorien.
Inte ens hitsen håller... Svag tvåa
Objektivt en nästan fläckfri rockskiva. Älskar i princip varenda låt, inklusive ”Wonderwall”. Säger en del att en otrolig låt som ”acquiesce” inte platsade, utan blev b-sida. Säga vad man vill men Noel gallagher är en hejare på att skriva anthems för killar.
Diggade som fan när man var junior. Frågan är, har jag lyssnat för mycket eller är Oasis överskattade? Oavsett är det ett bra album. Svag fyra!
jag hatar oasis och det här var sämre än jag trodde
Gör inget med mig och berörs man inte finns inte mycket att hämta här. Kejsare Barmhertigus ger tummen ner.
Fuckin classic luv me oasis luv me gallaghers bangers front to back should be essential listening for every brit
overplayed yet overhated
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
not a bad album. didn't think i was going to like it, but i did
Maybe not a perfect album. But close. 4.5
Sounds like music that would be played in a pub but did have some great moments
Wonderwall, morning glory peak
yes
