Reviews (page 5 of 16)
Starts well enough, reaching the peak early with Don't Look Back in Anger, but after that, there's too much mediocrity. 3/5
I honestly saved and favourited all the songs from this album, minus the Swamp Song excerpts.. Spot on, not one song is the same, but together come together to create a wonderful album.. or should I say WONDERWALL album!!
I hoped that listening to an entire Oasis album would improve my opinion of them, I really did. I already knew (and disliked) "Wonderwall," of course, but I had to give the rest of the album a chance. But sadly, no, this just wasn't interesting enough to get my attention. It wasn't even engaging enough for me to be able to describe what it is that I don't like about it other than just "it was irritating." 2 stars
Just because I m ew lots of the words doesn't mean I liked it...
Good album, solid oasis record
Like eating a feast of one of your least favorite cuisines prepared impeccably well.
Normally this would just get a 3, this album is OK. BUT based on impact to the music industry it gets a bump
Beatles lite
Amo a los gallagher tal vez de una manera cero pensada pero no me importa porque este album me crió
Shite
Really great listen. Awesome flow to the album, heard some songs I really needed to hear. Loved the creative lyrics. Loved "Cast No Shadow" and "She's Electric."
Yeah alright. Fine. Wonderwall is a good song. There, you made me say it. Are you happy now? Whatever. Champagne Supernova? Also pretty awesome. Don't Look Back In Anger? Uggghhhhh okay FINE it's great. One could even call it "anthemic." Like everybody else in the world already has. NO, none of these songs make any fucking sense lyrically; YES, they're all overplayed and derivative and lowest-common-denominator hooliganishly simplistic; YES, they do something to me anyway. So. FINE. Oasis made ONE good album (Definitely Maybe is boring to me. Sorry. I don't think we need to even get into the rest of them. As far as I'm concerned their discography consists of WTSMG + Wibbling Rivalry ONLY)
Hooray a GOOD album on my birthday. An album that i've never listened to completely so far but I really liked it as I already exptected to. Didn't even realize that the album is over after the last song when spotify played songs from other albums :D that's always a good sign for me.
I would consider half of these songs to be classic and I'm not even British. They got me on this one. 9/10
7/10
Ondanks dat 'Supersonic' m'n favoriete Oasis nummer is, vind ik dit album beter dan dat andere album. En dat album kreeg een 4. Dus dan weet je het wel. Van begin tot eind helemaal goed. Dit album hoort in deze lijst. En dat zeg ik als iemand die nooit echt Oasis liefhebber is geweest. Ik kan ze nu pas waarderen.
Fucking biblical mate
Favourite Track: Champagne Supernova or Cast No Shadow
Like three songs on this album have carried this band for 30 years
You know what? Time has eroded this a bit but it’s still a cracking album. I have to give it a 5. In a list dominated by mediocre 90s albums, this is still a great listen.
8/10 – Very Good
Pretty solid album.
Dope
I liked EVERY song from that album! It's just a masterpiece! I'll totally listen to it again
🥇she’s electric 🥈don’t look back in anger 🥉morning glory HM: roll with it, wonderwall, hey now, some might say, champagne supernova
Discazo
Pre-listen: Eh. These songs are undeniable, timeless songwriting classics really. But not looking forward to listening quite as much as others so far as I’m just so familiar with Oasis at this point. But let’s see how we go… Post listen: Never listened cover to cover. Really is a great album. A lot more weight to it when listened in full. The ballads being around the middle surprised me, and they felt more heartfelt than I ever remembered them when in full context. Wall to wall memorable, gotta say it’s no wonder it’s seen so influential.
Very fun and enjoyable
I haven't heard of this artist before, listening to the album though I liked a lot of their songs, and even saved a few more after finishing the album. I'll definitely be looking up this artist again!
4.5
One of THE albums of the 90's, love this album so much!
It gets a 4 out of me and I still don't want to listen to it. That's the magic of Oasis.
Solid.
Just pure class on this one, every song an absolute classic
This is an album that really needs historical context as it was peak Britpop. It hit that mid 90s zeitgeist. Indeed my own affection for this album purely defined by where I was and what I was doing in 1995. But revisiting this album in 2026 did it no favors. This is mid-tier Britpop at best. Completely overrated slop from twin douchebags. Plus for something that's supposed to be a kind of modern arena rock, it's week. The guitars sound thin and the overall production feels treble-y. Do these guys hate bass? My nostalgia is the only thing keeping me from giving it 2 stars. Or 1.
I got this album for my brother who I do not speak to for Christmas, because I think I'm real funny. Some little sibling-isms never go away. Besides that Britpop is a rough subgenere for me because I am an American asshole and think it all sort of sounds the same. It really has to knock my threadbare socks off in order to break through the sludge. I however, am a sucker for Wonderwall. I would sacrifice my newborn to hear Don't Look Back in Anger live. (What's the Story) Morning Glory has not knocked off my socks entirely, like they're still kind of on, but I can't help but agree that this album is, in a way, gigantic. It's loud it's rough, and this way be biased by my knowledge of Noel and Liam's forever beef, but it seems heavy with unspoken tension. It makes me want a cigarette real bad, which is a compliment in this case. 8.5/10
Sunsheeiiiiiine
some good hits, not for me long run
Du pop rock britannique des années 90 dans toute sa splendeur. Pas vraiment mon truc, mais c’est plutôt bien et il y a vraiment des passages qui m’ont vraiment beaucoup plu, mais sur un album entier, c’est pas trop mon truc.
So many classics.
Might've heard a tune or two from this album already. Just here or there. Very British sounding. Enjoyable, nothing too special. Wonderwall lowkey mid as fuck but still fun. Wait lotsa hits from here. Damn. This is fun. Yeah good but kinda unremarkable outside of the hits. Me when I cast no shadow. Favourite: Champagne Supernova Least favourite: Swamp Songs
A seminal 90's album and better than their debut album. I know there is a backlash against Oasis because the lyrics aren't the best in the world and the Gallagher brothers are always acting like the Gallagher brothers. This is the album that mixes the band's affinity for massive choruses and more gritty guitar rock. Their debut was more of the guitar rock and Be Here Now was just massive choruses 8 minutes at a time. This is the perfect mix. My friend gave me this CD (because she had two) in 1996 and it mostly just sat with CD collection, not getting listened to and gathering dust. Then in 2003 I went to see one of my favorite college bands and they drunkenly played a cover of Roll With It. For some reason, this prompted me to put the CD in my player and I realized what I had been sitting on for seven years. There is not a bad song on here, and as always, I could use the absence of short instrumentals they don't detract from the album overall. Don't Look Back in Anger has always been my favorite track on here with She's Electric being second. Hate the Gallagher brothers, love Blur more than you love Oasis (depending on the day, I would agree) but it's hard to not listen to (What's the Story) Morning Glory and not feel like you hearing an album that made a massive footprint on music.
fun, hummable, catchy songs. not terribly deep or contemplative.
I hated this album, but had never actually listened to it. Now, let me explain: Wonderwall. It was everywhere. And sadly, most cover bands/singers picked it up and put it in their repertoire in the early-mid 00s in New Zealand. I couldn't have told you another song. Then, I joined a band with a guy who was obsessed with the band. I bought the first two albums. Enjoyed them. I did. While there are some great songs, 'Champagne Supernova', 'Dont look back in Anger', and 'Whats the Story...' There is still a lot of stuff that is a bit average. Positive, yes. Catchy, yes. But can you have an album that has a song called 'Hello' and 'Hey Now'... Look, I'd go to the concert, I'd sing a long, but in my heart it's not 5 stars. 4 stars (a high 4!)
This album is like a Sunday session after big nights on Friday and Saturday. You’ve woken up hungover but you and your friends are keen to enjoy the weekend to the fullest, and the weather is nice. You park up in a garden bar and chew through the first two pints. Now you’re on to your third, and the hangover seems to be gone and the mood is high.
Classic album with nearly every tune being a banger. You forget neally all of their greatest hits come from this one album. Would happily listen again any time
Another solid album from Oasis, which shows that they deserved their notoriety and relevance for their time. "Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back in Anger", and "Champagne Supernova" continue to be the legendary songs that still are part of the cultural zeitgeist, but I also enjoyed "Some Might Say" and "Cast No Shadow"
It's pretty amazing that I've heard some of these songs roughly a quadrillion times and still enjoy them (I'm looking at you Wonderwall). This coming on the heels of Coldplay is a little enlightening. They are sort of a similar sub-genre, but Oasis is so much more enjoyable. I don't think there was a single song on this album that I didn't enjoy. It's never going to be my favorite album, but its incredibly solid all the way through with pretty high highs.

GOING IN: Not fussed really LISTENED WHILE: getting ready for work FAMILIARITY: Know a few songs SKIP RATE: Skipped the odd one REPLAY VALUE: Once was plenty DISCOVERY CURVE: Warmed up nicely ALBUM ARC: Pretty even, consistent VERDICT: Better than expected BODY'S VERDICT: Decent head wobble FAVOURITE TRACK: My Rating: 3 I've always detested these guys, but they sure know how to make an earworm tune. Stuck in my head all day. Bastards.
03/02/2026 Its a good album, but not worthy of 5 stars because it is quite samey and I've heard them all played before! Spotify listeners: 27.6 million
Well this is an album I know very well and listened to extensively in the 90s. Put it on, hadn't heard it for a good number of years but the old magic returned. Got fed up listening to the Oasis hysteria from the last year or two but the music speaks for itself. Cast no shadow, what a tune. I was thinking I was going to be harsh with this review but would be unfair and not doing this album justice. Rightly considered one os the albums os the 1990s. Class
Good songs, but not quite a five for me
I came in with Live Forever and then only knew about these guys as a pair of idiots. But this became my go-to study album in the fall of 1996 and eventually something all of my indie rock/hardcore crew would whisper to each other about enjoying, much as with Pinkerton. It mostly holds up for me, despite the abysmal lyrics and backwards-extending-fallout from Be Here Now and the subsequent decades of lacklustre bullshit. What holds up for me? The guitars! It’s such a gigantic sound, as novel as anything Kevin Shields accomplished. I’ll still always be a Blur head but I won’t turn Morning Glory down.
Highly overrated and feels boring
As near to a perfect album as you can get. Starts strong, ends strong. No skips at all. Perfect day of music.
A record and a band that's grown on me over the last 30 years. Would have been a 2 in 1996.
You can say it's overplayed, you can say it's overrated, but it's such a good album - and it did not get old!
Amazing album we already know this
INCREDIBLE. Not just the hits like Wonderwall and Don’t look back in anger but the deep cuts, like Hello, She’s electric and cast no shadow. Champagne Supernova is a fantastic closer. They second Why, why, why? before the guitar solo does something to me deep within my soul. 5 stars 10/10. A+
Undeniably has some bangers but can get a bit samey.
1. très cool intro 2. très très bon, lyrics, sonorité : OUI! 3. classique … 4. Un poil long mais bon tt de même 5. ok 6. / 7. Un peu plus hard, cool sans être exceptionnel 8. plus chill, cool 9. très sympa 10. catchy !! 11. / 12. bon dernier son Dans l’ensemble bon, aucun son vraiment en dessous 3/5
Kordan klarte æ å aldri helt havne i britpopbobla da æ va i målgruppa og cirka riktig alder og alt det der? Kæm vet, men det e jo litt morsomt å høre på så mye av det her for første gang nu.
No thanks. This band is for someone who is not me.
If 4.5 was an option this would be it.
Had to dig out my old Compact Disc copy. Just a great album. Pure 90’s Gold.
Finally some good britpop.....pretty solid all around, radio hits still hold up after all these years. 4.5
A couple of solid songs here, the rest sound like the rest. This album makes a lot of Top 100 album lists, but not mine.
Wall-to-wall huge hitters. This has got so many of the classic Oasis bangers on it, and although I prefer Definitely Maybe, this is still awesome. Yeah Wonderwall is a bit of a meme now but still a great song.
So anyway, here's Wonderwall.
Never heard of this album, except for Wonderwall. Favorites: - Wonderwall - Cast No Shadow - Morning Glory - Champagne Supernova Thoughts: Definitely a mood specific album. It's a little too rock for me sometimes, but I liked Cast No Shadow and Wonderwall a lot.
I miss when albums would define entire generations
There are a couple of enormous songs on this album - I think 'Cast No Shadow' is an all-timer. 'DLBIA' is quality', 'Morning Glory' and 'Champagne Supernova have both grown on me too'. Considering the cultural impact this album had, I think a 4 is fair
В целом я довольна альбом, он конечно не сильно поразил меня, но пару песен в свой основной плейлист я добавила
I have long disliked Oasis. So this was tough to get through. Wonderwall was an automatic skip after hearing it millions of times. I give it an extra star because I kinda like Don’t look back in anger.
Super cool, que des sons kiffant
Putain de banger
Ouais bah c’est trop bien hein fuck les gallagher mais c’est quand même super
Seems like a fun band to have seen live, but a bit of a tiresome album.
The fivesome certainly delivers with its moody britpop that it has become ubiquitously known for. It somewhat stands up to the test of time (30 years later at the time of this writing) but it's a bit too dreamy for this listener. It seems this is the bands most critically acclaimed album. I'll leave this one with a 3.5 rounded down. There were moments of "Huh, this is pretty good." during the more rocking tracks like Hey Now! and Morning Glory but mainly I'm left, yet again, simply "whelmed". Musings not attached to the review: Upon release it was quite impactful. So impactful that it has become "Retail-Core", the dreaded genre that I think all bands and music acts hope to never be....In a way, one becomes retail-core by their ubiquitous popularity. So therefore, in a way, being categorized as retail-core means the band has become the pinnacle of success....
Wow this one really brings me back. I cannot believe that this album is 30 years old... oof. All-around pretty great record.
How could anyone not love this
God knows how many times I’ve listened to this album, and now it takes me back to summer 2025. It can only be a 5/5 for me
Absurdo. Parece um Greatest Hits.
La cote 1 doit servir à dénoncer les albums à éviter avant de mourir. L'album d'Oasis est comme une vidéo perturbante sur internet qu'on préférerait ne pas avoir regardée: il faut vivre avec les séquelles.
Ça sonne le cul quand même hein? Oasis c'est aussi bon qu'une beurrée margarine et miracle whip sur tranche de pain blanc pom.
Perfection.
Das beste Album der Band. Eigentlich nur Hits mit geilem Sound, tollen Melodien und fantastischen Vocals. Es gibt wuchtigere Songs wie den Titeltrack, zarte Stücke wie das wundervolle "Cast No Shadow" und psychedelische Meisterwerke wie den großartigen Closer. Hier stimmt alles.
This is #day538 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… this is my favorite Oasis album, and also the first one I ever heard from them, which must have been about 20 years ago. Time flies... Maybe that's part of why it's my favorite. Anyway, it's an all killer, no filler. This is a 5 out of 5. Looking forward to #day539.
Look. I'm a 42 year old white man who's personality type is 'a person who loves Manchester'. It's safe to say that What's The Story holds a certain appeal. Like, it's basically the most symbolic album of my young teens. I got it on tape from the library shortly after it came out, and have vivid memories of playing it on a grey boombox we used to have plugged in in our bathroom. Cast No Shadow was the first song I ever learned on the guitar. The chart battle with Blur was probably the first pop culture thing I was invested in. This matters, is what I'm saying. But is it good? Annoyingly, given my complex current-day feelings on the Oasis Industry, it is, yeah. It's absolutely mega. Every song - somehow including both instrumentals - is a total banger. On this listen I really appreciated some of the lesser songs, like Hey Now or Some Might Say, but really, it's the huge hits that propel this into the stratosphere. I was also really taken by some of the things that you don't always associate with Tory Noel and Liam the Wally - the production is stellar, with every element really distinguishable, and there's a real sense of heaviness to it with the flange on the guitar (possibly the wrong term) that reaches a peak in the title track. It's weird, looking back, that they were compared to Blur so much, other than for the fact they were around at the same time, as the sound is totally different. Anyways, it's a yes from me; an unsurprising five for personal meaning and a slightly surprising five for the actual enjoyment on this listen.
Classic
I've gone back and forth on Oasis, not if they're good or not, but if I 'get it'. When I listen to this album, I come away saying I do get it. It might not be for me (although currently it is), but it's easy to understand their importance and meteoric rise to superstardom after this record.
Liam is THE best poet of our time and no i'm not talking about any lyrics on this album or any other. Actually imo his talent is wasted as a musician because have you read any of his tweets? like that's shakespeare
The fact that Oasis are still so beloved despite releasing nothing but shite for their final FIVE albums is testament to how beloved and fantastic their first two are. Huge, dumb, loveable choons and lightning in a bottle chemistry and charisma and chutzpah to pull them off
Wall to wall 90s anthems. It's nowhere near as good as Definitely Maybe, but it still hits the spot. It continued downhill from here - there's a reason that 20 out of the 23 songs on their tour setlist are from the era of those two albums.
Unforgettable
This album is absolutely fantastic, which is annoying because it vindicates the most annoying group of people in the world, Oasis fans
They'll never make me like you, Oasis.
grueling and physically painful. i feel drained. i do not know how to describe this in any way other than in varying degrees of agony. quintessential god-awful britprop is what this is. i don't even know where to begin. the singing? does this even qualify for such a word? it's somewhere between screeching and whining where he arbitrarily decides which vowel he is going to hold for far too long with inane lyrics that are entirely meaningless. the instrumentation is white noise. this is a national prank from britain, yes? surely it must be. i simply refuse to believe that this a real album that people think is listenable, let alone great.
My parents really liked Oasis, I really hate Oasis. I hate Liam's incredibly whiny voice, I hate the god awful production that is designed solely to be played on crap radios, I hate the overblown sound of every song, I hate the nonesense ass lyrics and I especially hate the fact that living in the North of England means that there's this nonesense tribalism expectation to enjoy this shit music. Don't Look Back in Anger is the only Oasis song I ever have managed to even slightly like (random fact, the name is a reference to a Bowie song off Lodger) and that's because I can slightly stand Noel's singing sometimes. I had to listen to this album so much growing up and I do not get why people like this crap. Blur won the Top of the Pops with Country House, and Oasis wins "my least favorite band" award. I know that Oasis is beloved and if you like them, that's great! I would rather listen to a Modern Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Maroon Five collab album then listen to god damn Oasis.
Todo muy bien.
4.5/5 All the hits here are magic
peak britpop. wonderwall overrated and overplayed, champagne supernova a rightful classic
I don't know what to say about this album. The songs I'm most familiar with, "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" are fantastic. The others sorted faded into the background. I listened to the entire album twice and it didn't make a difference. So, in it's entirety the album is okay with spots of greatness.
good reminder that Oasis have made excellent music outside of Wonderwall
It was decent at the time.
One of my favorite albums of all time. I love oasis so much.
One of my personal favorites. Legends!! (I said maybeeeee)
love oasis!!
todo lo que había que hacer con la música está acá
Two great songs (wonderwall, anger) are to few to make this record really great. I also don’t like the guitar wall of sound.
Best - don’t look back in anger Worst - cast no shadow
10/10 cohesive, no misses, great sounding for its time
Just pretty damn good.
‘Wonderwall’ has a bit of a bad reputation for being overplayed but several big Oasis hits on this album made for a great listen. Nostalgia plays a part but I really like(d) listening again. 4.5/5
3.5
4.0
I'd never listened to an Oasis album before, and was pleasantly surprised to find the music different from all the thuggish tabloid exploits I knew them for.
Such a classic album. Everyone knows at least one song off this album, it is so amazing. I will say one critique I already have of Oasis is that some of their songs sound identical. Right off the bat, track 1 is ridiculously similar, if not identical to "Wonderwall." This is one of the few popular albums where I was actually able to find the original instead of having to listen to the deluxe version. I like track 2 a lot, this is one of the songs I have not heard before, at least not in full. I think I have probably heard at least one part of every song on this album. This is such an impressive album to have put out in 1995. The production is just so good. Track 3 is one of their most popular songs for a reason. It is very good, such a crisp sound. Track 4 is a song I have listened to so much I have truly worn it out. It is such a good song though. Track 5 is really good as well. I fear this might be another five star album. Track 6 is a very short transitional song, but it absolutely rocks I cannot lie. I hope version 2 has lyrics. Track 7 is another one I have never heard, I do like it though. Same for track 8. Track 9 is another classic song off this album, it is very good. Honestly, five stars, such a good album.
"Don't Look Back In Anger" is my favorite on this album. "Wonderwall" is the worst, of course. I cannot believe I haven’t escaped the fate of having a guy mediocrely sing that song to me on guitar even in fucking Romania. You are not safe anywhere from a mid white guy with curly hair, a guitar, and a hell of a lot of audacity. I fucking hate britpop. What’s all the fuss with these guys? I’m not British, thank all the gods, so I don’t get it. It’s just so bland. Gallagher whatever his name is, I couldn’t be bothered to look it up, has such an annoying voice. God do I hate it. Almost four stars as an overall rating for what exactly? Why? Nostalgia? This stuff wasn’t popular in my country, so I genuinely have no idea why people like it so much. Until recently I thought Oasis was a one hit wonder type of band. I’ve only ever heard Wonderwall, each time against my will. As I was saying, it’s not a popular band in Eastern Europe, I guess. I’m halfway through the album and didn’t even notice. Everything just blends together into an endless nothingness. This feels like it has no substance. Nothing interesting. Nothing noteworthy. I honestly can’t wrap my head around why and how this is such a big thing. I’m genuinely puzzled. It's far from the worst thing I've heard in my life, but it's just so average? Seeing that it is so praised in the reviews I though it was gonna be something groundbreaking.
Even if I was never a big fan of Oasis, I have to admit this album is great. Banger after banger.
Perfect album. I don't even need to re-listen here because I play it all the time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detta albumet hade en stor betydelse i min ungdom, även om debuten förmodligen betydde ännu mer för hur jag jag började söka efter ny musik. Tycker inte detta albumet är lika fantastiskt längre, har trots allt spelats många gånger så suget att lyssna på det är inte så starkt. Det är trots allt ett album fullt med riktigt starka låtar.
Not as intolerable as their hits but I just didn't really enjoy it.
Not my style, personally, but there were some really good songs in this one. Overall pretty good!
The quintessential Brit pop album that set the wheels in motion for so many to come. All hits and bangers. Only issue is the album can feel like a random clumping of, albeit it some of the best songs ever written, and not very cohesive as an album. But still doesn’t detract from what makes up the album.
Uiteindelijk trek ik die stem niet. Kende wel verrassend veel nummers. Blijft een beetje jongetjes die stoer rockbandje spelen. Ik geloof ze niet
Huge improvement over their debut. It helped to have them back to back for my listening education. Finally finding a sound that stands out. Some great hits. And the songs I wasn’t familiar with all still have a charm. Wonderwall Don’t Look Back in Anger She’s Electric Morning Glory Champagne Supernova
Ah, this one takes me back! Solid album, the first time I've given out a 5 star rating. So many mega hits on this album (Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Morning Glory), even the songs that didn't hit the charts are great. It was fun giving it a re-listen and transport back to my college days. (5)
It goes without saying that Oasis is one of the most controversial and premier rock bands of all time. They are back and this outstanding album is a perfect illustration of why there popularity never abates.
I previously said I thought this one was better than Definitely Maybe since it was already on here. And I think that's right now that I listened to this again. It's not a lot better. But a little better at least. Still giving it the same star rating since its not a full star better.
Voice is a tad annoying Classic DLBIA Hey Now! Bit repetitive Wish they expanded on The Swamp Song V1 Songs drag a little bit She's Electric - tf are these lyrics Quite like Morning Glory - nice solo Solid, catchy, and consistent but a got a little repetitive and dragged on at parts 7.8/10
Classic Album Probably Oasis’ best work Best song - Cast No Shadow
Moody bitches
Appallingly boring in scope, lyricism and musicality. I’m trying to give it a fair listen but I just want to listen to anything else
Any album that contains 3 mega hits deserves to be on this list. Even if the rest of the album is average at best.
Solid
I live in the UK and hear Oasis all the time. No thanks.
Great Album.
Great album, absolutely classic
Fine, I know the hits and that was fun. However, I don't think I would go back to the rest of it. Not bad just not overly impressive either.
The history.
Three good songs and 9 fillers that all sound the exact same.
A lot of anthemic and heavily played songs on this album. It's hard to distinguish for me whether I do really love it or it's just so omnipresent in culture to the point that I can sing along. I enjoyed it immensely today and I reviewed Definitely Maybe last week, and preferred Morning Glory overall I think. Don't Look Back in Anger will always get me.
Did nothing for me, but nice regardless
It was all right. A lot more rock sounding than I expected.
Morning glory is better than wonderwall
I feel a lot younger when i listen to this Album.
It seems like I should like this more than I do, but I Oasis isn’t my favourite. Very nasal? Don’t Look Back in Anger is a great song though.
Really solid album, so many hits, great melodies. Somehow I always feel like I should like oasis more than I actually do though. Solid album, but don’t feel like going back and listening again.
Maybe could be a 4.
I like it most when it's ripping off the Beatles. Honestly they are pretty good at imitating that songwriting style and it's kind of effective. I don't appreciate the layer of 90s indie and swagger that seem to apply over everything. Guitars are just a little bit too "rock star" to serve the songs for my tastes
(Wonder)wall to (Wonder)wall britpop classics. It holds up fantastically. Just a wonder(wall)ful album.
Great album. Love the guitars. They have mastered them. Iconic album ofcourse. Fucking legends
I am beginning to understand why people like oasis
El disco más importante de mi adolescencia. No puedo ser objetivo. Es un momento de inspiración que nunca volvieron a alcanzar.
A classic of my youth.
Listens: Many Standout Tracks: She's Electric, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova Perhaps it's nostalgia for me - my mom bought this album on cassette tape and we would listen to it in the car while doing errands - but I quite enjoy this album. This album and Third Eye Blind are some of the first bits of music I actually remember consciously knowing about and understanding (not necessarily lyrically, but just as music that exists somewhere outside of the radio). Oasis albums are pretty hit or miss for me, but this album, and Dig Out Your Soul (which I doubt is on the List) get periodic listens a couple of times a year. I am happy to see (What's The Story) Morning Glory here. I know Wonderwall gets a TON of hate - its seemingly "mandatory" learning for anyone who is interested in "showing off their guitar skills". Oh, you have your acoustic guitar out, dude, play Wonderwall!
I avoided this review for a long time. Oasis nearly perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with Britpop. It's boring, exceptionally unoriginal, devoid of memorable musical talent, and sounds just like about 100 other British bands. Oasis answers the question: what if the Beatles made more songs and let Ringo them? Not what if they made better songs or continued their evolution post Let It Be or reunited in 1980. Just what if they made more songs with their worst singer? That's Oasis. Coldplay with worse singing and better songwriting. Influence 4 (and I'll never understand it). Quality 3. Hits 5. Intangibles 3 (honestly, this and A Rush of Blood to the Head should be on this list - but none of the other 50 or so Britpop trash piles that are). I so want to bomb this album, but it IS a big deal 1.
Oasis elevou o conceito de "bandinha". Disco cansativo, especialmente pelo excesso e guitarras com eco que preenchem todos os espaços e pelo vocal estressante, além de um baterista medíocre.
some great songs here
Smashes all that American keach.
cada música aqui é tão característica, posso ouvir em qualquer lugar e saber de onde vem, mas isso acaba soando repetitivo demais. eu não gosto da voz do liam, mas don’t look back in anger me impede de dar uma nota menor.
Overrated album, but it good actually😂 ชอบ don’t look back in anger กับเพลงท้ายๆอัลบั้มเหมือนเดิม (some might say, cast no shadow, she’s electric⭐️, champagne supernova⭐️)
I was honestly really excited to listen to this because Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova have absolutely stood the test of time for me I’ve basically been casually listening to them for almost 25 years at this point. But as a full album this leaned more straight up Brit rock than my personal taste, and I could really hear the heavy Beatles influence throughout, which I think is why the rest didn’t totally land for me. I also swear Oasis knew they struck gold with Wonderwall because a few other tracks have that same dreamy string vibe and I kept thinking, “wait… is this Wonderwall?” Overall, this felt more like a greatest hits listen than an album I’d return to front to back. My standouts: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Talk Tonight
oasis mi rifiuto di ascoltarli :skull:
An album with 2 great songs (Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger), but there are some mid filler tracks. I would rate it at 3.5 stars, but there's not that option
Pretty standard rock/pop album. It's decent. Nothing really stands out except Champagne Supernova. What a fantastic song, and the perfect choice for a closing track. 3/5
Surprisingly Oasis was one of the popular mid-90s alternative bands I didn't really get into. Perhaps their radio presence on near constant rotation was enough to slake my curiosity. Listening now to this album I see I didn't really miss much. The radio singles are familiar (was surprised that a 7:20 Champagne Supernova became a radio hit). None of the non-singles really caught me and overall met but didn't exceed what I expected an album of Oasis songs to sound like.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall... I don't hate it. I don't particularly like it either. The best I can do is - I don't mind, but I highly doubt I'll put it on again. And please, don't make me listen the 4CD remastered 2h 45min version of it.
Well, I liked it better than Definitely Maybe, but it still kinda reminds me of my least favorite Beatles tunes. Still not a fan of Liam Gallagher's voice, still think the guitars are too shrill and brittle, still feel like the entire mix was put through a high pass filter to kill the bass, still feel like most of the songs are several choruses too long. Favorite tracks are probably "Morning Glory" and "Champagne Supernova", because they at least do something a little interesting and different from the rest of the album.
Too loud but some songs were okay.
3.5
I like the hits, particularly with or without you
By themselves, “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” get you to four stars. And nothing else on the album jeopardizes that. A load of fun!
Favourite Track: She's Electric Lots of tracks that have been played to death
I fucking love this album
Good album, anyway here's wonderwall
This album occupies an interesting space in pop discourse: is it a masterpiece, or one of the most overrated records of all time? In reality, it’s probably a bit of both (or maybe a bit of neither?). I like it a lot. I’d only heard “Champagne Supernova” and, of course, “Wonderwall” before, and as a huge fan of Pulp, I wasn’t willing to have Oasis take the number one place in my Britpop Hall of Fame—but the album exceeded my expectations, despite (or because of?) its imperfections. So where does that place it in the overrated-to-masterpiece spectrum? I think the answer is this: it’s a spectrum that doesn’t work, a false dichotomy. The album can be both. I vacillated between giving it a 4 or 5, but when I think of the other albums I’ve given 5 to, this one just doesn’t hold up in the same way.
I am supposed to not enjoy this type of music but like it was kinda alright in the grand scheme of things. Early 2000s music I physically reject most of the time but I felt music actually enjoying this in parts. Likely wouldn’t return to this but it was fun!
Some of these songs are still inescapable thirty years later and I might be downrating it a bit because they are so overplayed. On the other hand, I was quite lukewarm about them at the time as well.
Rating: 8/10 Favourite: don’t look back in anger
Erster Eindruck: kannte ich schon lowkey, also keine Überraschung Lieblingssong: "Don't look back in anger"/ "Hey Now!" (Lieblingszeile): "So I start a revolution from my bed" "please don't put your life in the hands of a rock n' roll band" Overall Rating: 9/10 Anmerkungen: Gab echt mehrere Songs die mir ganz gut gefallen haben, mehr hab ich lowkey nicht zu sagen
Certi bangers
First 5* for me, just lots of absolute bangers
Apparently I've never listened to the whole album, just the top songs. Really liked the opening song "Hello". Album in total became a little repetitive of a sound, but was still good.
not real my vibes personally there were good rock aspects but it didn’t grab me in
Hello - 4/5 Roll With It - 4.5/5 Wonderwall - 3.5/5 Don't Look Back In Anger - 5/5 Hey Now - 3.5/5 The Swamp Song - Version 1 - 3/5 Some Might Say - 3/5 Cast No Shadow - 3/5 She's Electric - 4/5 Morning Glory - 4.5/5 The Swamp Song - Version 2 - 2.5/5 Champagne Supernova - 3.5/5
A 90s UK phenomenon, that still resonates today 5/5
Wonderwall, I've already heard this one at many places, but now I finally discovered its name. The rest of the album didn't appreciate me that much, bc I don't like rock/metal that much
A Brit pop classic. I’m sure it was groundbreaking at the time, but hard to find much of note now
wow first five yet, very exciting. but how could you give anything less than a five for an album where you downloaded nine out of the twelve songs? so little to dislike about this album even the three i didn’t download are completely fine. britpop does it again (or did it then i guess?) hardest part is choosing a favorite song but i think it’s probably don’t look back in anger. shoutout to these brothers who have an ego for sure but i guess for a reason.
I’ve always loved oasis, my mum listened to them all the time when I was younger I think the love for them has been passed down. Really gutted I never got to see them live ! Excellent album !
There are for sure some classic moments on this album, and some serious hits outside of just the singles too. The opener “Hello” rips and starts the album off strong. What follows is a bunch of fun, jammy rock songs that only moderately show their obvious Beatles influence. Is it a perfect album, though? Absolutely not. I really can’t stand “Wonderwall” anymore, and I find “Some Might Say” pretty annoying honestly. It all culminates with “Champagne Supernova”, thought, I think is still the strongest song by far, so at least things end on a high note.
I've become more critical of Oasis as a band and the Gallagher brothers as complete dickheads the older I've gotten but this 'classic' (*retches in Gen X*) was released the year I turned 16 and no amount of realisation of mediocrity can trump pure skin-blistering nostalgia so this gets a 4.5. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 is because I preferred 'Definitely Maybe' and it would be unfair to put this album, as much as it had me dancing round the kitchen like I was back at Kaleidescope or Popscene again, on a level footing with that one.
I mean, an unreal album, really. Such a quintessential oasis sound, with a couple of well known bangers. Brit-pop at its finest. How can you not pick wonderwall as your top pick? You can, you pick Champagne Supernova. 4.5/5 album, brilliant.
Another Monster Album. These lads had it all, so close to the peak. Too bad about the sibling angst. Could been contenders. They've had success apart, and still sell out stadiums when reunited, barking out old anthems with aging gusto. The lyrics are good, the music great. The vocals are pure nasal, blowing long and loud. Kills that perfect score.
Mindless drivel and shallow hedonism have never sounded quite as grand and satisfying as this. Standout Tracks: Hello, (anyway, here's) Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Hey Now!, She's Electric, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova Score: S
Arguably the peak of Britpop, full of big, anthemic choruses and highly successful singles. It's not my favorite Oasis album but its for sure very good. However, the mastering is terrible. The whole "wall of sound" of it all really leaves a lot to be desired.
really good, multiple new sings found
I! LOVE! OASIS!
I can appreciate this being a banger of an album hit it lacks something, maybe it’s because Noel Gallagher is a City Fan.
Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Hey Now!
This isnt exactly my type of music, to me it feels a bit more like sound and less clear melodies. I think the lyrics were ok but i guess im just not the biggest fan of men’s voices when singing usually. I don’t know if i have a favorite song, they were all sort of equal Im gonna rate it a 3 but it might be more like a 3.5
Weird I get an Oasis album a couple of days after a Blur album. It was alright, I don't think Britpop is really my genre
For the past two years or so I've been a big kick of listening to live albums of bands I like, particularly from the 90s. The ones that have gotten the most spins, if I had to reckon, are R.E.M. (my favorite band of all time), Soundgarden, and Oasis. I didn't spring for the bajillion-dollar Gallagher Brothers Pay For Their Divorces Tour, but I kinda wish I had. Those live recordings sort of lay bare how weird a term Britpop is. Oasis is not a pop group, they are a capital-R Rock Band. I like the live versions of their various hits and deep tracks because they let loose more, pick up the tempo, and allow both brothers to shine. Liam's voice takes on more of a fry from years of smoking and drinking, Noel really lets it rip on the outros. Don't get me wrong, this record sounds great, but it's too sleek, too produced, almost too pop. But that's a comparative quibble. This is absolutely a worthy entrant on the list. Even the weakest tracks ("Hey Now!" "Cast No Shadow" "She's Electric") are quite good, and everything else is S-Tier stuff. 4 stars, but 5 out of 5 pints of room-temperature lager.
Maybe...you're gonna be the one that saves me...
listened and loved so many times before this generated
Very Louis Tomlinson vibes or more like lou is a lot Oasis vibe Rating: 7/10
Boring, predictable, easy to fall asleep to.
Sooooooooo Sally can wait
I really dislike Oasis, but love this album. Bit tired of Wonderwall (not their fault, but every person who spent 3 minutes learning it on guitar and decides they could busk their way to salvation) but otherwise just a great album. Such a shame Liam Gallagher is... well just is. How he hasn't suffocated yet with his head up his ass is a crime against humanity.
a few amazing choruses but way too moany
YUPPPPP, love me some Oasis album
ok. un clasico, de aca es la cancion qu suena en la propaganda de rqp
the best
Never was a fan of Oasis.
does it mean i'm old if I call this a classic? god damnit...
I like this but prefer Definitely Maybe.
Bangers
Bangers
It has some truly great songs, but the rest is just ok
Five stars, begrudgingly. Everything after this was a pastiche of themselves.
Some rockers but sounds tired
ok i lowkey hate oasis, both their music and the people in it, i just find it soooo derivative of the beatles, but this wasnt horrible! i enjoyed a couple of songs. - 7/10
my zoomer ass's first time listening to this and you know what not bad !! my fav is "roll with it"
Overall Rating - 3.83/5 (7.67/10). Excellent album. Straddles the line between Alternative and Traditional rock, excellent musicianship, solid lyrics, good composition.
What a fouking wonderful start of the year, I hit the wall immediately. Wonder why all are prepared to give Oasis such high review. I hope this experience slides away, so I don’t need to look back in anger on this review challenge. As I see it: the 1995 record everyone tells you is untouchable. Canon. Sacred. A communal sing-along where you’re expected to raise your pint, and accept that this is as good as it gets. But from the first minutes, I’m already waiting for it to be over, wondering when the revelation is supposed to arrive. The problem isn’t that it’s loud or confident. It’s that it’s written in stone, a Thesis. Every song walks in like it already knows it’s right. Don’t Look Back in Anger tells me not to question it. Wonderwall assumes I’ll be there at the fire site when it matters. Some Might Say shrugs off doubt as if uncertainty itself were a character flaw. And by the time Champagne Supernova floats by, I realise it's not the Champagne I wanted to pop for 2026. This album mistakes repetition for unity and simplicity for universality. These are karaoke anthems before they’re songs,engineered for mass agreement, not discovery. Everything is pushed toward the same litter box: big chorus, open vowels, arms-around-shoulders emotion, pints spilling around. It’s music that doesn’t want to argue with you, but it absolutely expects you to agree. And maybe that’s why it grates. The mainstream love around this record feels more like enforcement. If one don’t feel it, the fault must be yours. You’re told this is the sound of a generation, but generations are rarely this tidy. Life is messier than these songs allow. There’s no real tension here, no risk. So no, this wasn’t the Champagne Supernova I hoped for as my first review of 2026. It didn’t explode, didn’t transport, didn’t even surprise. I understand why people love it. I just don’t believe it deserves the pedestal. And if this review sounds like resistance rather than revelation, that’s because sometimes the most honest response to a cultural monument is simply to say: I was there, I listened And I felt nothing!
My favorite album
Favorite Track: Champagne Supernova
Turns out I knew more of these songs than I thought based on the titles. Going into this I expected it to be mostly acoustic for some reason- by virtue of just hearing Wonderwall everywhere I guess. But even Wonderwall is more upbeat than I thought, it felt full, that's how you do an acoustic ballad. Highlights: Don't Look Back in Anger Hey Now! She's Electric Wonderwall Champagne Supernova
Wasn't a massive fan, didn't feel like interesting happened and nothing stood out for me. It was enjoyable at least.
I am famously an Oasis hater. They make music for college aged men to learn on guitar to try to impress a girl at a party. Wonderwall is the stupidest song. She’s Electric also has extremely dumb lyrics. Champagne Supernova is excessively long and just repeats “while we were getting high” over and over. Such an overrated band
As for this genre I like Blur more than Oasis but still was a nice album. I particularly liked Roll With It and the title track the best.
An incredible album that I should have been into in the 90s but was not
Already a big fan of Oasis. I had only ever heard Wonderwall and Supernova. The rest of the songs felt like walking through a familiar feeling. Felt like home.
fairly good britpop record 3.5/5 not very memorable but not bad
Hello 2026, hello album #200, and hello to the first 5 star of the year!! This is a VERY promising start to the new year. Another album that came out the year I was born and another one I’ve been dying to roll since the beginning of my journey on this website. Regardless of what anyone thinks of it, this is the album with “Wonderwall”, an absolutely iconic song which also happens to be a God Tier meme, something with unlimited staying power in the cultural zeitgeist that has managed to keep being great for a very long time now, regardless of whatever is considered popular at the time. And you know what?? It's not even my favorite song on the album!! That honor goes to the titular "Morning Glory". I'm so glad these guys got back together, the fact that they were feuding for so many years just made me sad. Both Gallagher's may be abrasive, generally angry cock nobs, but god damn do they know how to come together and jam. Every single song on this album is incredible. Not one song I would skip or consider filler. The guitar work? Superb. The vocals? Godly. Everything else? It's like you're listening to something you just know is special, from the first chord on the album. The creative use of vocal compression, subtle use of distortion, reverb, hella whammy bars, and just every aspect of this album makes it one of my faves I've heard so far. Favorite songs on the album are the previously mentioned "Morning Glory", "Wonderwall", and "Champagne Supernova". I listened to the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition for this listen through. That's not something I generally do, but for this album it was a welcome addition with the Unplugged versions of almost half of the songs on the album. Very cool inclusion to have on the album. This is the first of 2 Oasis albums I've rolled so far. We'll see if the other one is just as good, or dare I say better than this one. That's asking a lot though, because I love this album. I don't listen to Oasis a lot, and I hadn't even heard most of the songs on this album before until today, which is blasphemy in it's own right. I've been missing out on something I already knew was great. Happy 2026, I greatly look forward to the next 100 albums I'll be rolling, especially if they're comparable to this. Is 2026 going to start with a streak of 5 star albums?? More on that tomorrow.
Roll with it makes me want to defenestrate myself
This was my first ever album, on cassette. I knew it from back to front. I listened and wrote down all the lyrics to many of the tracks and I sat in the playground in Year 2, aged 7 or 8, singing these songs with my friend Marc Lobb. Often, we had a little audience of reception pupils (probably wondering what the hell we were attempting to sing, with my garbled interpretation of what I thought the lyrics actually were). This album is engrained deeply into me. Controversial opinion: the second half of the album is far better than the first. Some Might Say and Cast No Shadow are my two favourite tracks. How cool is it that this is my first album? Well my follow ups (as best as I can remember) were two albums from The Corre, two albums from The Lighthouse Family, Now 42, and the creme-de-la-creme, The Vengaboys. Boom (X4)
I love Oasis. I used to wonder why I'm one of their few American fans, but for now I'll just say it's a wonderwall that I take to them as I do. I even used to think, at a subconscious level, I was being difficult and ironic: allow me, the lover of all things un-Oasis, play their first two records at high volumes and cling to their corny lyrics and less-than-basic pop melodies. But that simply isn't how it is. Besides, I can't, as I don't think anybody can, get all that much outta music/(art) ironically - and I've listened to this one and the debut more times than it would take to satisfy an insincere admiration. So I'll just go on digging their swagger, which is at once a throwback to their Liverpool-heroes and something else entirely: futuristic? biblical? serene?
I own this album, but it has been a very long time since i listened to it because unfortunately you couldn't go anywhere in the UK without hearing songs from this album when it first came out, and I have had zero desire to listen to it since. A bit of a weak start with hello and I was never really a big fan of Roll with it. You have to give some merit to Wonderwall and Don't look back in Anger despite them being absolutely played to death. Some might say (sandwiched between a few mediocre songs) is ok, if you ignore that 70s rock intro. I remember quite liking She's Electric at the time, but found it a bit lacking now. The album ends well with Champagne Supernova. Standout track: Bizarrely, probably Some might Say or champagne Supernova. It has been quite interesting listening to this after all these years. It is not remotely at the same level as the debut album (which I gave a 5). In fact, I felt it was rather weak compared to it. it is mostly held together with some really big hits. When I saw I had this, I figured it was going to be an easy 4 and a good trip down memory lane, but I found myself sometimes bored listening to it, and I have very little interest in revisiting the album again, which according to my criteria puts it below a 4. In fact, I was quite disappointed. I feel like the album has not really stood up over time...so 3.5 stars.

Anyway, here’s 2026 (album’s great)
Biliyormuşum ben bu şarkıları aaaaa senin sevmene hiç şaşırmadımheheh And after alllll You're my wonderwalllll
one direction un bana kattığı en güzel şey.
Chill, balanced, relaxing but a tad sad of an album. Love the rhymes, but it's a bit generic. Would enjoy in a social setting! My favorite is Cast No Shadow
Kinda old-sounding Not really much of memorable moments, aongs don't stuck in my head Guitar is majestic omg Long ass songs tho Id say every song us a banger, like no exceptions But overall 8.5/10 Edit: its freaking 12/10, the day was shit, the album is a masterpiece
Não é o meu álbum favorito mas é um bom álbum com uma duas músicas que já estou nas minhas playlists
The first songs utterly shocked me with how beatles-esque it sounds, I legit thought it was John Lennon singing lead on "Hello" for a slight moment. I've always heard about how Oasis incorporates Beatles elements, and I always like 'ehhh, sure.' But listening to this album shows it straight to me with how much they were influenced by that band. All of the songs on the album sound like they could all be singles (except the swamp song songs,) which is crazy I'm not sure if I've heard an album like that before, but now I have if I haven't. The production is quite busy and cloudy which seems a popular characteristic of britpop albums. Highlight Song/s: "Hello", "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Pretty easy listening song
Britpop rock, not my top genres at all, but thought intro to "Hello" was pretty cool. Nice album to listen to in the background-not distracting.
Heard it loads of times before.
Easy listening, second half of the album heated up with some bangers but overall nothing special
One of a kind 🫶🏻
Me compré este CD en un Cash Coverters a 2€. Lo escuché y me aburrí. Lo volví a intentar y me aburrí. Se lo regalé a mi sobrina. ¿Estarán sobrevalorados Oasis? He escuchado cosas de los Gallagher por separado y me parecen mejores que con la banda. No veo aquí mucha imaginación, más bien condescendencia salpicada de rasgados impertinentes de acústica y algunas guitarras eléctricas distorsionadas. Sí, yo siempre fui más de Blur y de Damon Albarn. El riesgo tiene su recompensa. PD: me he vuelto a aburrir esta tercera vez.
Um, tak overall to taki gabrysia music. Nie bardzo mój vibe, ale no rozumiem the hype. Tak ogólnie for me to 6/10
Nostalgic. Nice album. I know most of the songs, I think. Haven't heard it in quite a while. It's pleasant.
A very solid album from Oasis
God britpop. Synes Oasis er fire. Diskuterede engang med en i en pladeshop om, hvorfor det var hun ikke kunne lide Oasis. Hun kunne meget bedre lide pulp og suede fordi det er mere sofistikeret. Det er sgu også fair nok, men hun gatekeepede det godt nok meget synes jeg. Vi endte med at være fine nok venner.
The story is that these guys are annoying as fuck. I absolutely can’t stand the vocals. The songs are boring and go on too long. I hate the singles. What the fuck is a “wonderwall”? Anyway. I suspect I’ve made my point.
It’s Oasis and it’s good
Simply, an album chock full of bangers. If you don’t love this album you have no soul!
Perhaps the most overrated British rock album release of the last 30 years. They only contribute one track that sounds even remotely original ("Wonderwall") and a bunch of terrible knockoffs that are a melange of The Beatles and oddly enough, what sounds like The Allman Brothers band. Even more horrendous than being practically nothing but imitators, they have a terrible vocalist who belts the most Moon, June, simpleton lyrics of a cadre of bands like: The Verve, Suede, Blur. These a few other male dominated brit rock bands of a certain wankery from the 1990s, should have been gathered together and for the sake of the rest of us, fired into the sky into a thermonuclear supernova.
It’s a solid album. But overall, I walked away from it going “yeah, I heard these back in 1996 and I didn’t really need to hear them again.” But I’ll roll with it.
An album I really enjoyed when it came out. A good balance of smooth sounding pop with a rougher rock edge. Obvious Beatles influence. I would be happy to have a copy of this in my record collection.
The anticipation for this album when it was released was huge. It actually stands the test of time well with all time classics, Wonderwall & Don't Look Back in Anger surrounded by a strong supporting cast, and its those strong mid album tracks, Some Might Say, She's Electric & Cast No Shadow that elevate this album.
The hits are great, but too much filler
I've realized that I'm more of a singles dude with these albums. Champagne Supernova and Don't Look Back In Anger are so good, but on my second listen of this album, it's still quite bloated with similar sounding-ballads
After the years, after the memification of Wonderwall, after the cocaine albums that followed, this remains my favourite Oasis album. Opener Hello is probably the most awkward track on here, due to the borrowing of the Gary Glitter song. The wall of sound effect is to the fore here, with the three guitars giving the songs a huge sense of space and scale, and the production is able to capture a band going into the stratosphere. Wonderwall is a cliche nowadays, but there's a reason everyone knows how to play it - Simple, straightforward, and full of emotion. A great song ruined by over exposure. My friend asked me if this is Oasis' best album. I said "Maybe..."
An epic, defining & original sound of the mid 90's 5 singles from the album in the UK top 2 reads more like a "Best Of" than a single album
брит-поп це щось, що хочеться слухати весною. цей альбом це буквально квінтесенція весняного настрою - наче відчуваєш на собі перші теплі промінці і відчуваєш bitter-sweet енергію. дуже надихає. fav songs: Champagne Supernova, Some might say, She's electric
This is a few hit songs and a bunch of weaker deep cuts.
Couple good songs and a couple that all sounded the same.
I would say this is the best album from oasis
Probably a 5 at full volume but my brother was asleep in the other room.
Oh, hello you very enjoyable album. I’ll be listening to this one some more.
Enjoyed this way more than I expected - there were other tracks outside of Wonderwall that held up! Overall, fun britpop
Listening to this for fun is great - it rocks, it jangles, it moves along nicely and has Don't Look Back in Anger. But when you review it critically, it starts to fall apart - it's way too repetitive, the vocals are grating and annoying at times, and the lyrics are really lackluster and sounds like a try hard high schooler wrote them. But I choose to not listen critically and just accept it for what it is, which is a nice listen occasionally
Awesome. The fact that wonderwall is overplayed doesn't take away from the fact that this is just really good '90s rock. I'm very much on board.
I can see why this band is polarizing. The hits are good, but everything else is kind of meh. 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.
I liked it! Pleasantly surprised.
👍
This really is a tale of two albums. Part of the album is pure magic (Womderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova), but the other part is just noise. In retrospect, do I think the pure magic songs are that way because this album defined my freshman year of high school? Things to ponder, but a solid 3.
It's just all right. Not a fan of the aggressive, raw, loud lyrics; is Liam Gallagher unironically considered a good vocalist? Wonderwall is a terrible song.
I have honestly never heard of them before BUT I have had heard their most popular songs from this album out in the world or social media #3 Wonderwall and #4 Don’t Look Back In Anger. The two song the caught more of my attention were #5 Hey now and The swamp song version 1-2 were more of my usual taste when it comes to music. This song lyrics are great #8 Cast No Shadow. If a man could express their feelings in one song I believe it would be this one.
I mean, there are some classics in here
Amazing. But I already knew it was
i knew this one would come. an absolute classic, always a pleasure
Very good , favorit is wonderwall and hello
What a strong start to this journey of mine! This album is phenomenal, and so is Oasis. I’ve listened to the album plenty of times before, so it was nice to have that familiarity. I quite enjoyed the noises approaching my ears, and this carefully crafted work of art was mesmerizing.
Я слушал его много-много раз. Иронично, что моя любовь к брит-попу началась с японской группы The Pillows!. И до сих пор, слушая Oasis, как хрестоматийный пример, я вспоминаю совсем другое, но речь не об этом. К сожалению, с классикой (в области популярной музыки) нередко происходит ужасное: она становится настолько расхожей, что превращается в штамп, и лучшее слово, что подходит для её описания, это слово generic. Неизбежно, в таком случае, усложнение восприятия, но это просто стало такой базой, что проникло повсюду. Иногда даже может затошнить от того, насколько это пресная и скучная хуйня, насколько оно всё заезжено, и тогда приходится себя одёргивать: "пойми, раньше этого просто не существовало". Как не было комедии до Чаплина и Китона, так и не было, для массового слушателя, брит-попа до Oasis. Я не хочу умалять заслуг предыдущего альбома группы, или говорить, что Parklife от Blur хуже (73 вопроса от Vogue только подтверждают, что ничуть не хуже), но это феномен. Да, консьюмеристский, да, породивший волну подражаний и бессмысленных баллад, но кто-то же должен был? Итог: 4 из 5. Мне нравится, пусть и немного, без причины, стыдно.
Really liked this album. Indeed, it's a classic. Many parts feel straight out of a movie and the entire thing flows together very nicely. I give it a 4 out of 5 just because a lot of the album is not something I would listen to regularly; a little bit too "loud," and several verses felt repetitive, but it's definitely unique and worthy of a spot on your list.
GOATED FIRST ALBUM!! Oasis might just be my childhood as a sound. Top 3: 1. Champagne Supernova 2. Don’t Look Back In Anger 3. Wonderwall
This being the first album I've been given feels like some sort of sign. Oasis have been a part of my life for years, and being surrounded by this sort of music growing up has become a part of me. Especially living in manchester, it sort of connects you to the music and reminds me of home. This was the first album I ever owned on CD, inherited from my mum, and I saw them a couple months ago with her. The atmosphere was just insane, 10/10 album, not one bad song on it. Favourite song - Champagne Supernova
This is the album that gave men the confidence to pick up a guitar at a house party when no one asked.
Good album, liked it. Cant really find why though. It was good quality in my opinion but i cant find what the "it" factor is with oasis. Its good music, but nothing stands out to me as thats why i like it. Clasics like wonderwall always hit in a way but still. Overall liked the album
Not great, but decent as I had expected. Too pop-y for my tastes and I don't like the vocals. Some of the instrumentals are pretty good though.
An absolute classic album, and one that holds up to this time. Despite being meer on very hard, one cannot say that wonderwall is actually a bad song. It does pop rock just how it should be. Oasis remains one of the greatest bands of all time for a reason.
Really good album. Knew wonderwall, don't look back in anger, and champagne supernova.
