Reviews (page 6 of 15)
I don't consider myself a huge Oasis fan, but I do love this album. A few tracks on here start to feel corny, but they're saved by a twist on an expected chorus or layers of instrumentation and harmonies. It bounces around between tracks like that, which were maybe attempts at radio hits, and tracks like Champagne and Don't Look Back that seem to come from a more real place. Around the time this album came out, I took a school trip to Austria and the flight back had a BBC radio loop as one of the maybe five channels you could listen to through the player in the armrest. Don't Look Back In Anger was on that playlist, and I believe it hadn't been released as a single in the US yet, and I didn't own the album so I'd never heard it. But I was obsessed with it.
A classic :)
Je connais cet album par cœur et je ne lui trouve pas de faiblesse.
Everyone knows the big tracks off this album but I've never taken the time to listen all the way through before. Can hear why Oasis has such a mass appeal throughout - Even the "deeper cuts" are very catchy.
Time to admit another bias: I've been given a lot of Britpop albums so far, and each time I get another Britpop album, I've just longed for this one. Today was finally my day (the day after my birthday, oddly enough). I absolutely love this album. Every track is just brilliant. This is the perfect album to pop on some headphones for, so that you can hear every little guitar strum and every drum hit. The instrumentation on this album is just so rich, that it's almost beyond words for me to describe. This is exactly what I want in a Britpop album: it sounds like The Beatles in a sense, but it also sounds like something completely removed from them as well (that might be the lamest thing I've ever written, but it was the best I could come up with). Liam's vocals are great, and Noel's vocals on "Don't Look Back in Anger" are superb as well. I wonder what could have been if those two could have managed to not be complete dickbags. I don't think I could pick a favorite track off of this album. It's genuinely a 'no skips' record, and one of my favorite albums from the 90's.
Great album.So many good songs.I’m not a huge oasis fan but can’t deny how good it is.
Ahh, the sounds of my teenage years.
Pretty damn good.
10/10
All my life I have lived in fear of my dad's deep hatred for Oasis ("all their songs just sound the same")... But teenage rebellion always finds a way to take a sledgehammer to your parent's hopes and dreams for you, and while at university I developed a secret, silent taste for Oasis - thanks to this album. I don't know how you can listen to Don't Look Back In Anger and not feel, like, something, anything. Lots of songs I love on this album, some I just like. Overall, great. Forgive me Father.
Venga, un 5 porque hay que tener este vinilo, es un clásico del indie, aunque soy más de Blur.
Bar the opener which is shite and excluding the swamp song 1&2 - this album is perfect
A 5⭐️ album with another 5⭐️ album on the b-sides. The 🐐 Regardless of what Neil McGaughey says, the big wally
This is the album from Oasis that I expected to be on the list of 1001 albums unlike the first one that's also on the list for some reason. (What's The Story) Morning Glory is an excellent album and outshines Oasis debut album. It got some timeless classics like Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger but the whole album is full of hits. Noel Gallagher's excellent writing combined with Liams distinctive singing really makes the record stand out from other bands. Everyone should give this one a listen.
Likely my most listened to and I’m pretty sure favourite album. I started listening to Oasis seriously at the end of high school, but really in university. This was also in 2004, once they had gone through several lineup changes and pop culture had more or less moved past them. I think it’s because I was so into the Beatles in high school that I eventually migrated to Oasis. I had a ton of memories come back today while listening, mostly playing this on my iPod on the city bus back and forth from university. In 2009 before graduating university I went on a month long trip to England and Scotland, mostly on a self administered Britpop tour. I actually had never seen Oasis live up to that point, so my first day landing in Scotland I had a ticket to see them in Edinburgh, with The Enemy, Reverend and the Makers and Kasabian opening for them. That solo trip now seems impossible I did without a smartphone, but I landed in Edinburg, I think walked to my hostel (some student dorms in the summer) and then took a bus not knowing where it was even going and I guess just expecting I would end up at the stadium? Maybe I just followed the crowds of drunk hooligans singing Oasis songs. After the show, I walked back to the hostel, again not knowing where the hell I was going and not recognizing any landmarks. How did I do that?! I had also been up for 36 hours between flight time. I remember trying to use my calling card to dial back to Canada to tell my parent I had arrived, and crying that I couldn’t figure out the card. To be in your 20s in a pre smartphone age. Anyways the show was amazing and they tore the place apart. Later when I was in London I took an afternoon to find the street this album shot was taken. Surprisingly not a lot of fanfare-there was one record store that had the Morning Glory record in their window. But compared to the current Abbey Road there’s nothing. Some Might Say is just perpetually underrated.
To me it is no longer quite as perfect as it was, some 25+ years on, but still an excellent example of 90's brit pop. Great Album
Just because I love this album and it's awesome does it deserve five stars? Doesn't seem to make any sense. You know what I mean?
Absolutely stellar. Both melodic and angry, with plenty of attitude. So many great songs on this album, start to finish.
No question, one of the Beatles best albums. Seriously though, I think I overplayed this album when it came out. I am a little tired of some of the songs here. But to me this is still undoubtedly a fantastic album. Hello and Morning Glory still have great energy. I think all the tracks are quite good at least, albeit maybe a tad too long for some. I don't entirely feel a 5, but I think this album deserves to be in the 5 star club. I endorse this album as one you should listen to before you die.
hey siri play wonderwall
Großartig!
So many good memories from this album. Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Don't Look Back in Anger still in high rotation.
Criss c'est bon! Pratiquement un greatest hits! Rien à redire, c'est juste parfait.
As a teenager I snubbed Oasis. Wonderwall was overplayed, the band didn't deserve all that attention, the music wasn't even that good. I'm glad I re-listened to this album later in life. And I've full come around. I like Definitely Maybe quite a bit, but this album is the best Oasis have released. Yes, Wonderwall is still being overplayed, but I can't really fault the band for writing a song that apparently resonated with so many people. And besides, songs like Hello, Roll With It, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Hey Now!, She’s Electric and Champagne Supernova are just amazing. Happy to have (re-)discovered it and have finally given it the time it deserved
The Gallagher brothers are absolute wankers but they sure could belt out some tunes.
Även de dåliga låtarna är bra
Este es un clasico.
Et av nittitallets bedte albumer.
this album is gonna be a great crazy ride. so many hits from one album. gotta love a whiny voice. this is definitely more of a sound that I like and want to hear. don't look back in anger is so good i just want to belt it out. all of these songs are so anthemic. guitar hero represent. i think every song on here is good. champagne supernova is maybe my fav. it's been my fav for a long time i think. everything on this is grand and cool. bands wish they could achieve this effortlessly cool sound.
One of albums I grew up on.
Being a British kid born in the late 90s to young parents, I certainly knew quite well of Oasis, and recognised most of the songs on this album. However there were a few songs on here that I didn't know so well. There may be some nostalgia speaking for me here, but I loved this album and every song, even the more overplayed (and potentially overrated) tracks like Wonderwall. Additionally, I personally believe that Champagne Supernova is one of the most beautiful rock songs ever made. Favourite: Champagne Supernova
One of my favorite albums. I'll acknowledge my bias as a child of the 90s and admit that it may not be as great as I think it is. There's a fair bit of nostalgia creeping in. Still - I've listened to this album hundreds of times and I still love every song on it. I let out an audible "Yes!" when I saw it pop up on my list. Objectively, I think it holds up as one of the best albums of the 90s. It epitomizes what that decade was.
Do anyway, here's....
Я не фанат, но влияние этого альбома отрицать незя 🧐
Venga, un 5 porque hay que tener este vinilo, es un clásico del indie, aunque soy más de Blur.
En aquell moment eren intocables. Després del disc debut, tan cacarejat des d'abans d'editar-se, i que va complir amb totes les expectatives, i el single 'Whatever', una altra victòria, es treuen de la màniga un disc que encara és millor que el predecessor. Que l'altre tenia un himne com 'Live Forever'? Aquí n'hi ha dos, 'Wonderwall' i 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. Que l'altre combinava les melodies beatlenianes amb un rock corrossiu a 'Cigarettes and Alcohol', 'Rock and Roll Star' o 'Supersonic'? Aquí la inspiració creativa arriba a cotes més altes amb 'Some Might Say', 'She's Electric' o 'Champagne Supernova'. El que no esperàvem ningú és que a partir d'aleshores la caiguda fos tan en picat... però sempre ens quedarà el disc per disfrutar-lo com es mereix
- so this algorithm gave me Blur, Suede and Oasis... which obviously makes me to compare them. And that is not good news for Suede and Blur - I must say as much as I don't like Oasis as a band (pure judgement of characters) I need to judge them by their craft and talent, which is obviously superb. - Wonderwall, for some people overrated or overplayed, for me one of the unskippable ones, even covers, samples and jazz reeditions and shitty Superstar versions are good
Still writing, First day Of Ramadhan
I spent many nights laying on my best friend's floor gossiping about our transition to high school and summer camp changes while listening to this album. Once your adolescent heart has seen a boy with hockey hair play Wonderwall on an acoustic guitar by a campfire, what's left? I started listing favourites and realized it's 9/12, so it's easier to say swamp songs and cast no shadow resonate the least with me.
Such a shame that they went to shit after this. Amazing album
Oasis merda ma questi sono tutti singoli dal primo all'ultimo
Discazo de pop/rock inglés espectacular. Canciones variadas, en ocasiones guitarreras y con ritmo. Toda una colección de canciones buenas y bien elaboradas
En mí opinión el mejor disco de Oasis y uno de los mejores de género al que pertenece esta obra. Ninguna canción relleno, melodías icónicas e inolvidables, gran disco.
debo situarme en el lado del mal esta vez
Amazing
BLUR SON UNOS TERRIBLES PUTOS Y SUS MUSICOS UNOS TERRIBLES CORNUDOS NO TE ACORDÁS CUANDO OASIS LES LLENABA EL CULO DE LECHE. Perdon, éste disco es uno de mis favoritos de toda la historia. No hay un tema que no cierre, un cambio radical que no tenga sentido, nada. Pensar que Wonderwall la habian escrito pensando "la tiene que cantar Ryan Adams" y dandosela a Liam le da un sentido totalmente distinto. Lo escucho por lo menos una vez por semana. No voy a hablar del aspecto tecnico porque es de esos discos que te tocan el alma no por "Lo bien" que suenan sino por lo que te dicen.
Si buscás la definición de britpop aparece este album. 5/5
Klassiker, einfach gut.
Levylle, millä on Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger ja Champagne Supernova, ei voi oikein muuta antaa kuin 5. Mutta hyvä levy muutenkin ja en taida olla aiemmin kokonaan levyä kuunnellut.
Lähdetään siitä, että The Verve pesee Oasiksen, mutta onhan tämä timanttinen lätty.
Wat een klasse album! Geen slecht nummer.
Deels vanuit sentiment (grijs gedraaid!), maar ook - nu ik de plaat weer een keer integraal luister - omdat het echt allemaal geweldige nummers zijn. Enorm van genoten!😊
Onhan tää kova. Ei yhtään huonoa kappaletta levyllä!
I've listened to this album in the past.
Hace años, durante la carrera, alguien me comentó "no puede ser que no conozcas a Oasis" y me pasó un CD con (quizá) toda su discografía hasta ese momento. El rock en inglés era un género con el que no estaba familiarizado en lo absoluto, pero me quedé con canciones como Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall y Morning Glory. Por muchos años pensé que los MP3 que me pasaron habían sido grabados con "baja calidad", especialmente con Morning Glory, hasta que tuve un internet decente y pude descargar varias versiones de las canciones, y entonces me di cuenta de que el mastering se hizo así a propósito(!!!!) Sé que es parte fundamental de la estética del disco, al punto que arrancó todo un género musical, pero en lo personal creo que en algunas canciones se les pasó la mano. Dicho esto... el disco* es genial. De hecho, me parece el mejor disco de Oasis (el segundo sería Don't Believe the Truth) con canciones épicas, vocales inconfundibles y excelentes arreglos. Las letras podrían no ser muy profundas, pero tienen algo que las hace "relatable", además de que los coros son más conocidos que Everlong ( jejeje ). Calificaría el disco con 4.5 por lo el tema de la hipersaturación del sonido, pero a quién voy a engañar... * Este review sólo considera las 12 canciones del disco original, y no todas las extra que vienen en el álbum de Spotify, pero la versión b-sides de Champagne Supernova es una CHU-LA-DA. Sería interesante que remasterizaran todo el disco con este mismo estilo; quedaría algo tipo "Let it be... naked".
Tough one... #relisten
Just a really solid album.
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
none of u know how special this album was to me in 2023
Feel Good.
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
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 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.
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
Buenazo. No me acordaba de lo bueno que es menos los hits. 4/5
3.5
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
The lads are mad fer it! Sunshyiiiiiiiiiiiine
Biblical
A solid and nostalgic album. There are some commercial hits here and memorable moments. Very good listening experience.
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
Better songs on here than Wonderwall. Morning Glory should've gotten more popular.
appreciated it. hella british
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
iconic songs, i think i remember my dad playing this when he was younger. really good listen
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.
Great album. 4.1
A few amazing songs, the rest were ok
Already listened to this albums iconic album really of course though it’s freaking oasis
Brings me back to a tortured adolesence
Turns out oasis is good wonderwall is just the worst damn song on this album
Solid album!
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
C'mon ENGLAND
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
Isch en banger aber ha gmeint wird tuffer. Ha denkt es save call 5i aber teils scho fast basic pop-punk songs.
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.
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.
Probably the only Britpop album worth listening to on this entire list
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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
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.
UR MY WONDERWAAAAAALLLLL!!!
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.
Was long saved a lot of songs that sounded good, loved the vibes, especially Wonderwall its popular for a reason recommended.
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
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
FREUMII ich hans album nonie am stuck glost hello findi en coole ahfang vom album und fühert eim guet ih in die happiness vo dem album iwie? sicher au will ichs gad glese han, aber s album würkt uf mich würkli wiene wand wonderwall isch halt en riiiese banger, wenn au overplayed ich finds so cool, dass s schlagzüg ein zwei täkt spöter innechunnt als mer denke wür champagne supernova isch en coole schluss vom album hmm es isch sicher es guets album aber iwie hend mich vill lieder nöd so abgholt. die glücklich atmosphäre isch aber würkli cool und natürliiich hets es paar banger
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!
overplayed yet overhated
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
Wonderwall, morning glory peak
yes
I think this album is good but Oasis really did inspire a lot of bands to embrace bloat. I wish more of these tracks were crisp and ended like a minute sooner.
Their 1st album reminded me of a time in high-school when you go see your friend's band compete in the local radio station's Battle of the Bands and they give it their all and rock the shit out of everyone. The second album looses that momentum as they try to be more . . . mature? Don't get me wrong, its a good album with quite a few radio friendly hits and while I did enjoy it, I also wondered WTF happened.
gritty, I love it plus it has wonderwall and I'm sure everybody has heard that one before, simplistic lyrics don't always have to mean nothing y'know and I think that is what is done well here, one song can mean multiple things depending on where you are in your life, beautiful album not perfect but not every good thing needs to be.
One of the albums I’m excited to listen to on this list. I really only know Oasis from all their hits, so haven’t explored an Oasis album in its entirety. This album seems to have a handful of their most popular songs. The sound is very English rock. Sure, it’s 90s Britpop, but its influence is clearly 60s/70s rock. It’s all very catchy and entertaining. Gotta admit the first few songs feel somewhat forgettable and then Wonderwall comes on and you hear that acoustic guitar intro and it completely sucks you in. Sometimes a hit is a hit and that’s it. Talk about a timeless song, even after years of overplaying. That and Don’t Look Back in Anger back to back really gets the album kicked into gear. Some Might Say is a nice song. Very guitar heavy. Feels like something from another era. As a whole a lot of it is so classic rock influenced that it feels older than 90s. I think this is a very fun album with some real good hits. Probably a solid 4.
banger album *hello *wonderwall *don't look back in anger *hey now *she's electric
WIll LISTEN TO WHEN I EAT remember that
Iconic from Oasis
"Play Wonderwall!!"
Derivative but they do it well
Not many complaints
No comment on the Gallagher brothers as people, but they figured out with this one how to make simple songs beautifully complicated, or maybe it’s the reverse? So good I listened to it twice.
Trop fort!!! 8/10
Can't quite put my finger on why I liked so much more than anticipated but I did. Was definitely . listening to, will again.
A pop rock high point
Some genuinely great songs. My favorite is Champaign Supernova. I think it has moments where it gets a little boring. The songs without great hooks kind of have nothing else going on. Thats long been my issue with Oasis, to me it feels a little shallow, but in moments they shine bright.
Very, very good.
A watershed album for Oasis and Brit-rock that still holds up 30 years later.
Obviously it’s good. It’s Oasis. Not to say that Oasis is inherently good, but more to say that I inherently like a lot of their stuff. I have a couple of friends who don’t really like Oasis, two in specific come to mind, one who gave both their albums a score below 3 and hates everything they did, and one friend who thinks that “Wonderwall” is the worst song ever made but adores “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” I would advise neither of them to know my opinion on the band, because I love both those songs. See, what makes “Wonderwall” such a controversial song is its saccharine levels of sentimentality, and its popularity among the class of intellectuals that many who seriously interact with music consider themselves above. Of course, “Don’t Look Back In Anger”is universally adored, but that’s just because it’s a pretty much perfect song all around. The thing about “Wonderwall,” though, is it’s one of the first times Oasis as a band really shows some sort of sentimentality. That’s actually the big change that this album employs from the debut, a sense of sentimentality and introspection. Of course the aforementioned songs are huge contributors to this, but “Cast No Shadow,” “Some Might Say,” and the fantastic “Champagne Supernova” also contribute to this sense of sentimentality. Now, it doesn’t really interact too much with the more hard rocking songs in the album, which kind of makes the album almost feel disjointed at times, but that doesn’t take away from the album’s moments of true glory (Morning Glory, even…), and as it stands, this is an incredible album, and arguably Oasis’s peak. 9.0/10
A very good listen. Fav tracks: “Champagne supernova” and “Wonderwall”. Solid 4
I heard most of this album in parts over the years, but never gave it a full sit-through. I liked it more than I thought I would. Wonderwall is overplayed to hell and back, but somehow I never get tired of it.
I can’t say I still fully understand Oasis’ popularity in the UK but this made me get it a little more
a classic in my books
relentless guitars
Ditch the stories about the Brothers Gallagher fighting and performing while maniacally high on meth and just give it a listen. Oasis are a simpler, scrappier band than their classical rivals, Blur, but they suffer from some of the same issues that plague their southern cousins. Both hold pretensions of being the inheritors of The Beatles (nobody could try for The Stones?) and neither comes remotely close. Oasis also have some problems that are opposite to Blur: while Damon Albarn's implacable sneer makes everything he touches feel lifeless and insincere, Oasis are beset by an over-rehearsed sincerity that also makes them feel a bit fake. I'll take the faking of sincerity over dispensing with it entirely any day. It's a rock and roll record. It has pretty melodies, vague lyrics about relationships and you could dance to some of the uptempo numbers. 'Wonderwall' has fallen victim to its own saccharine success (it doesn't deserve the generational revulsion that underpins its meme status) but 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' are also highly snackable pop delights. They also are entirely nonsensical. One's very clearly a love song and that's lovely (and has been a mainstay/persistent infection of open mics since the album broke) and the other is... vague. But they're both entirely singable and Noel Gallagher's gift for melody shines through. A belated side note, but the non-Gallagher musicians in Oasis are all supremely capable here (Alan White on drums and Paul McGuigan on bass form an especially capable rhythm section). Entirely musical, highly singable, very enjoyable and wholly a sunny rock record (rare, these days), the ornament hides just how wonderfully simple the composition and songwriting is on this album. However, the knock against it is that if you listen closely to Gallagher's lyrics, you may find they're a bit on the vapid side, at times. Sometimes that vagueness is poetic and broadens lyrical appeal. Sometimes you get 'Champagne Supernova', which I adamantly don't believe contains any conceivable meaning, despite feeling anthemic when you hear it (a gift, to be sure!). Aside: Gallagher himself has described 'Champagne Supernova' as psychedelic. In other spaces, I've praised word salad-style lyrics (Jon Anderson). It's a bit unfair to judge poetry based on whether it has an easily-accessible meaning to me, personally. My knee-jerk responsibility is that I don't think that Noel Gallagher thinks the song is really about anything in particular, either (borne out, somewhat, in interviews much later). It's questionable whether either is a valid point. Does music require meaning other than that with which we imbue it? I certainly think that it's an asset for music to have something it's trying to express. 'Supernova' certainly expresses a feeling, at least -- dreamy, a little bit wistful, maybe somewhat hopeful. It's fun to take potshots at the linguistic stew that is the chorus but, honestly, it's very fun to sing and it does tend to elicit emotional reactions in listeners, even after you ask them what they think the song is about (in my experience, anyway). It ain't Bob Dylan, but who is? Just Zimmerman, himself. Retrospective reviews tend to give this 5 stars for most reviewers. They're no Manic Street Preachers but they did write way hookier songs. In the end, the Gallaghers avoid the trap of sounding dead inside like Blur by sounding, instead, like they're utterly fervent about what they're on about but occasionally too drunk to make any sense. Best I can do is a 4/5. Really worth a listen, though.
Just enough good songs on here for it not to be bad
Pretty good
Somwtimes to overstimulated but great if you want to feel like in a highschool movie
It wasn’t bad. Great rock music that made me nostalgic for simpler times. Liam Gallagher’s voice started to get irritating near the end of the album.
8/10 - signature Oasis sound, some classics here, also not forcefully dragged out which is always appreciated
I couldn't believe my eyes when my first album was the Wonderwall one 😌 but it slaps I gotta say anyway, I accidentally started this on June 1st !! wow so satisfying
Love when 2 dudes hate each other
Great album
some generational songs on this. cool to think if some of these songs were played in almost any room every single person would sing along LB x
Als die Brüder Liam und Noel Gallagher mit ihren Mitstreitern aus Manchester zwischen Februar und Juni 1995 in den Rockfield Studios in Wales ihr zweites Album aufnahmen, wussten wohl wenige, dass hier etwas Unwiderrufliches entstand. Produziert von Owen Morris und Noel Gallagher, erschien das Album am 2. Oktober 1995 auf Creation Records – und übertraf im kommerziellen Sinne jeden Maßstab, den die Band selbst gesetzt hatte. Der Sound ist breiter, runder, zugänglicher als das Debüt, ohne dabei an Energie zu verlieren: Streicher, akustische Gitarren und ein wuchtiger Rhythmusunterbau fügen sich zu einem Klangbild, das sich sofort wie Klassikerware anfühlt. Der Kern des Albums ist eine Handvoll Songs, die – jeder für sich – ganze Generationen geprägt haben. „Wonderwall" mit seiner beiläufigen Zärtlichkeit, „Don't Look Back in Anger" mit dem triumphalen Pianointro, „Champagne Supernova" als träumerischer Sieben-Minuten-Bogen, „Some Might Say" als pochender Opener-Single – das Songwriting Noel Gallaghers erreicht hier seinen konzentriertesten Ausdruck. Die Einflüsse der Beatles sind nirgends versteckt, werden aber mit einer Dreistigkeit aufgegriffen, die selbst nach Jahrzehnten imponiert statt zu ermüden. Was (What's The Story) Morning Glory? von zahllosen Britpop-Zeitgenossen unterscheidet, ist die Kombination aus emotionaler Unmittelbarkeit und handwerklicher Konsequenz. Liam Gallaghers Stimme – nasaliert, hochmütig, eigentümlich verletzlich – trägt die Melodien mit einer Präzision, die man ihr oft nicht zugestand. Das Album steht nicht für den Höhepunkt einer Bewegung, sondern verkörpert ihn. Ein Werk, das man nicht einschätzen muss – man hört es, und man erinnert sich.
Okay
The origins of wonderwall lol
i mean like, look, the songs are overplayed but i cant help it if they're catchy
> the Beatles Final 10 being all bangers continues somehow. This might be the best streak I've ever had during these 1089 albums
Dont look back in anger is good
정말 부드럽다 부드러워 깡패들로 알고 있었는데 이 사람들 되게 부드러운 락을 하잖아? 돈룩백인앵거가 좋긴 좋네ㅎ
Better.
It's about as good as the first one
gut, gute laune, kannte einiges, is nit 100% meins aber würd des meiste auch nicht skippen, is so rock/alternative rock würd i sagen
As much as it pains me to admit it: This is not only a classic, but undeniably a great album: lots of songs that are instantly recognizable, perfect production and arrangement.
Pretty good album. Not sure if it’s for me, but there was a number of bangers!! Obviously wonderwall is fire, i really liked the sound of the album. I don't listen to rock much and I really enjoyed this one!!
I'll search for detailed information about this iconic album to provide you with a thorough review. Here's an in-depth review of Oasis's landmark 1995 album, **(What's The Story) Morning Glory?** --- ## Overview Released on October 2, 1995, *(What's The Story) Morning Glory?* is Oasis's second studio album and arguably the defining record of the Britpop era. Produced by **Owen Morris** and **Noel Gallagher**, it transformed Oasis from a promising indie act into global rock superstars, selling over 20 million copies worldwide and spending 10 weeks at #1 on the UK Albums Chart. It became the best-selling album of the 1990s in the UK and broke the band in America, reaching #4 on the Billboard 200. --- ## Lyrics Noel Gallagher's lyricism on *Morning Glory* represents a shift from the aspirational hedonism of *Definitely Maybe* toward something more introspective and emotionally raw. The album captures the psychological weight of sudden fame, substance excess, and working-class identity in a rapidly changing Britain. **Key lyrical moments:** - **"Wonderwall"** — Written about Noel's then-girlfriend Meg Matthews, the lyrics explore vulnerability and the search for emotional rescue: *"And all the roads we have to walk are winding / And all the lights that lead us there are blinding"* - **"Don't Look Back in Anger"** — Opens with piano chords reminiscent of John Lennon's "Imagine" and tells a story of defiance and regret through the character of Sally: *"So Sally can wait / She knows it's too late as she's walking on by"* - **"Morning Glory"** — A cynical, unflinching look at cocaine addiction: *"All your dreams are made / When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade"* - **"Champagne Supernova"** — The album's psychedelic epic, with famously surreal imagery: *"Slowly walking down the hall / Faster than a cannonball"* Noel later admitted that much of the album was written while "out of it," and the lyrics reflect that dreamlike, sometimes incoherent quality. As one critic noted, the details matter less than the feel, attitude, and experience. However, critics at the time were divided. *Q Magazine*'s David Cavanagh dismissed the lyrics as banal: *"They scan; they fill a hole; end of story. They say nothing much about anything."* --- ## Music & Composition Musically, *Morning Glory* marked a significant departure from the raw, swaggering rock of *Definitely Maybe*. Noel Gallagher's compositions became more focused on **balladry, huge choruses, and string arrangements**. **The sound palette includes:** - **Acoustic-driven anthems** ("Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger") - **Hard rock with layered guitars** ("Some Might Say," "Morning Glory") - **Orchestral embellishments** — String sections that "classily dress up the songs like ribbons on a trophy" - **Psychedelic epics** ("Champagne Supernova") The album is heavily influenced by The Beatles (particularly in "She's Electric," which echoes "With a Little Help from My Friends"), R.E.M., Gary Glitter, and John Lennon. Musicologist Allan F. Moore compared "She's Electric" to The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four," noting both songs' cross-generational appeal. **Liam Gallagher's vocals** are central to the album's power. His Mancunian accent and "over-personalized" delivery on tracks like "Wonderwall" created *"a beautiful sense of sentimentality that bespeaks the despondency of a generation."* --- ## Production Produced by **Owen Morris** and Noel Gallagher, *Morning Glory* is famous (or infamous) for its **"brickwall" mastering technique** — a loud, compressed, maximalist sound that became a hallmark of the era. **Production characteristics:** - **Wall of sound approach**: Dense layers of guitars, vocals, and strings create an overwhelming sonic experience - **Live energy**: The production retains a raw, live-band feel, particularly on tracks like "Some Might Say" - **Controversial mixing**: Some critics argue the brickwall mastering was overdone compared to *Definitely Maybe*, making the album sound exhausting rather than exhilarating Noel Gallagher himself has expressed dissatisfaction with the production values, and critics like Andy Gill of *The Independent* found tracks like "Roll with It" to be "drab and chummy." The album was also the first to feature drummer **Alan White** (replacing Tony McCarroll, though McCarroll still plays on "Some Might Say"). --- ## Themes **1. Fame and Its Consequences** Noel Gallagher described the album as being *"about actually being a pop star in a band"* — the disorientation, excess, and isolation that comes with sudden global success. **2. Working-Class Identity and Escapism** The album channels the aspirations and frustrations of British working-class youth, filtered through the lens of Britpop's "Cool Britannia" optimism. It projects a glamorous image of Englishness that resonated globally. **3. Substance Use and Excess** Drugs are a recurring theme — from the explicit cocaine references in "Morning Glory" to the hazy, stimulant-fueled atmosphere of "Champagne Supernova." This would ultimately contribute to the band's creative decline on the follow-up *Be Here Now*. **4. Brotherhood and Tension** The volatile relationship between Liam and Noel Gallagher becomes a thematic undercurrent. *Rolling Stone* noted that *"tension and instability have been inherent traits of great rock teams... for Oasis, the addition of shared genes gives their songs extra impact and dimension."* **5. Nostalgia and Melancholy** Tracks like "Cast No Shadow" (dedicated to Richard Ashcroft of The Verve) and "Don't Look Back in Anger" explore regret, lost time, and the weight of expectation. --- ## Influence & Legacy *Morning Glory* is one of the most influential British albums ever made: - **Cultural phenomenon**: It became the soundtrack to "Cool Britannia," helping define 1990s British identity alongside Tony Blair's New Labour, *Loaded* magazine, and the Union Jack dress - **American breakthrough**: It achieved what other Britpop bands couldn't — genuine US success, reaching #4 on the Billboard 200 and inspiring a wave of Anglophile rock - **Stadium rock template**: The album essentially invented the modern stadium singalong formula, with tracks designed for mass communal participation - **Generational impact**: It influenced countless guitar bands that followed, from Coldplay to Arctic Monkeys However, its legacy is contested. Some argue it contributed to the over-hyping of *Be Here Now*, which critics initially praised to avoid repeating their *Morning Glory* "mistake" of underrating Oasis. Noel Gallagher himself has called it overrated, admitting *"some of the songs are not as great as people think they are"* and dismissing "Roll with It" as "shit." --- ## Pros | Strength | Details | |----------|---------| | **Timeless anthems** | "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," and "Champagne Supernova" are genuine classics that have transcended their era | | **Massive choruses** | Noel Gallagher's gift for hooks is unmatched — every track is built for singalongs | | **Liam's vocals** | His delivery gives emotional weight to even the simplest lyrics; his voice is the album's defining instrument | | **Cultural significance** | It captured and helped create a moment in British history; it's as much a cultural document as a musical one | | **American breakthrough** | It proved British guitar rock could conquer the US in the post-grunge era | | **String arrangements** | The orchestral elements elevate the songs beyond standard rock fare | --- ## Cons | Weakness | Details | |----------|---------| | **Filler tracks** | "Hey Now!," "Hello," and "She's Electric" are widely considered weak compared to the classics; many fans wish B-sides like "Acquiesce" and "The Masterplan" had been included instead | | **"Roll with It"** | Even Noel Gallagher admits this track is subpar; its selection as the lead single cost Oasis the "Battle of Britpop" against Blur | | **Overbearing production** | The brickwall mastering can feel exhausting; some tracks suffer from a lack of dynamic range | | **Lyrical shallowness** | Critics argue many lyrics are banal or nonsensical, relying on attitude over substance | | **Lack of experimentation** | The album plays it safe stylistically; there's little sonic risk-taking | | **"Hello" controversy** | The opener's chorus borrows from Gary Glitter, retrospectively tainting the track | | **The Swamp Song excerpts** | The two untitled interludes feel like padding rather than essential album components | --- ## Verdict *(What's The Story) Morning Glory?* is a flawed masterpiece. It's uneven — front-loaded with classics and weighed down by filler — but the highs are so stratospheric that they justify the album's legendary status. It captures a band at the absolute peak of their cultural power, translating working-class Mancunian swagger into universal anthems that still fill stadiums nearly 30 years later. Is it overrated? Perhaps. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But as one critic put it, complaining about its flaws is *"a bit like complaining that the glovebox in your Rolls-Royce is too small."* The album's greatness lies not in its precision but in its attitude, its ambition, and its unshakeable belief in the power of a massive chorus. It remains an essential document of British rock — and a reminder that sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. **Essential tracks:** "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Champagne Supernova," "Some Might Say," "Morning Glory" **Skip:** "Hey Now!," "The Swamp Song" excerpts **Rating:** ★★★★☆ (4/5) — A landmark album with genuine flaws, but one whose classic tracks have earned it a permanent place in rock history.
Big nostalgia hit for me. Might objectively be three stars, but it's a four in my heart.
Going to go with a 4. I don't think I've ever listened to this album in full. Could've been a 5 but a lot of the stuff has been overplayed which dilutes song into less than they are
1. "Roll With It" 2. "Wonderwall" 3. "Don't Look Back in Anger"
Not my favourite album, but it had some nice classic tunes on it.
DISCASO
Ovo bi bila petica da su ispunjena još ova tri uslova: 1. da ja nisam u duši više Blur/Suede/Pulp nego Oasis; 2. da ijedan Gallagher brat ima išta nalik na sposobnosti pjevanja; 3. da sam čula Wonderwall i Don't Look Back 100000 puta manje u životu. Odličan album.
We'll would you look at that? The album holds up far beyond Wonderwall. I understand why this is a classic that I'm always seeing at record shows. 8/10
i like it
Mike- 9/10 Josie- 8.50
Oasis: we love us some epistrophe and damn are we good at using it I don’t know guys Oasis kind of makes me want to chain smoke and have unprotected sex the same way listening to Arctic Monkeys does Are there Oasis songs in Trainspotting????? I kinda feel like there should be
Hadn't listened to Champagne Supernova in like 20 billion years, this was a nice start to Jueves
I don't truly have the authority to declare this but Oasis are honorary lesbians for this one. Favourite song: Don't Look Back In Anger
Good album. Just don't like Oasis.
As much as I dislike the singer it is a very good album
One of my favorite albums to listen to
Mola el rollo del álbum, me esperaba menos canciones bailables y eso me ha gustado. Además de los banger, como wonderwall que fue la primera canción que me aprendí con la guitarra o dont look back in anger. En general guay y sorprendido asi que bien. Mee ha gustado mas que el de U2, sin escucharlo entero ese. 7,5
the only thing that bothers me in this album is consistencies. You have some of the bands most amazing/important songs on this record but some of the most forgettable. Nothing will ever beat definitely maybe but this one might some day definitely maybe.
Notables: - Don't Look Back In Anger - She's Electric - Champagne Supernova
how i met your mother vibes kinda like it
i feel like every movie and tv show from 1998 to 2006 used one of these songs in their soundtrack. I called this derivative because it felt like a formulaic album for music of this era but I guess it's famous bc it's the first? Or at least the most mainstream? Feels like accessible 90's rock. Anyways, it's good and I can't argue with it - just in hindsight it's overrated.
this was interesting in that the hits are great as you remember but none of the other songs are really memorable to me
The hits on this album are just so strong that it's hard to justify anything less than 4 stars, even if some of "the rest" is a little uneven. No use writing more about the three ubiquitous mega-smash songs than has already been written. Cast No Shadow has always been another favorite, and Morning Glory goes pretty hard. Probably the pinnacle of Britpop?
Nostalgic and full of memories. Good album.
Hello - 8/10 good first song Roll With It - 7.5/10 cool guitar Wonder Wall - 9/10 classic Don’t Look Back In Anger - 8/10 GUITAR Hey Now - 7/10 The Swamp Song V1 - 8/10 (segue) Some Might Say - 10/10 SO GOOD Cast No Shadow - 10/10 WOW She’s Electric - 8/10 Mourning Glory - 7/10 The Swamp Song V2 - 7/10 (segue) Champagne Supernova - 7/10 Overall 7.8/10 I really like, nothing crazy, it’s just a good solid rock album, would be good for being outside/driving around in the summer, and I liked the guitar instrumentals.
4 stars just for champagne supernova
This aged pretty well. It's packed with tunes that have an internal energy and irresistible melodies. I often feel like I have less idea what they're on about then R.E.M. (can anyone explain the staging of the speaker and Sally in "Don't Look Back in Anger"?), and I'm not confident there's much there anyway, but it's fun to listen to.
This is what made them. And being such a huge band you can only assume that the album will be top notch. It’s not perfect and it’s not their best album but in its time, it was a perfectly released change in what the system was throwing us at the time. What that is, I don’t recall but I know it was different and worth it. Choice cut: Champagne Supernova
puros temones, una banda que ya conocía y me encanta su sonido muy buen álbum
First notes of “Hello” instantly take me back to my senior year of high school
Know this album we'll.
Classic, has unusual chords and unusual song structures while remaining approachable. Champagne Supernova is so good! There are one or two songs that feel less solid.
Obviously love Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.
if you press the skip button when "Wonderwall" comes on, it's a much more pleasant experience imo. i never gave oasis a fair shot because of that stupid ass fucking song. since i chose to give them an honest chance this morning, i found myself really drawn to this sound and then began to wonder whether or not i had spent my teens missing out on a band i would really like if i got past my own pretention about wonderwall
I found this to be a bit less impressive than their debut. It's got some iconic barnstormer songs on it though. It has a grandiose scale to it that songs like Champagne Supernova really manage to showcase well. It does have the classic Oasis flaws. Production is way too loud and some of the songs just go on and on and on and the entire album kind of feels pompous. But still, I enjoy it for what it is.
Often terrible but still an irresistible juggernaut.
I love this album. I was tempted to give it a 5 but I like to save 5s for absolute perfection and this one isn't quite there.
Monkeys with typewriters come to mind. They are still morons, but there are a few absolutely banging singalongs here. I always remind my kids that every family is a cult, and ours is (among other things) the cult of Britpop--one of us is devoted to Pulp, one to Blur, mine is Supergrass, and one has an Oasis shirt with golden retrievers on it.
Good album. overplayed.
I’ll say it and stand by it: “Don’t Look Back In Anger” is better than “Imagine.”
Solid album. It’s aged well. Too bad the brothers are head cases.
I do like this album and consider it the best of Oasis.. or possibly the one that stood the test of time and still listenable today. It may be because I’m old enough to remember it as a new release and can picture where I was when whats the story hit the triple j airwaves in Oz .. or to wonder why wonderwall was SUCH a big hit! I love the slow build up to the intro in what’s the story and that plaintiff guitar calling in the morning while they muse on the trials of a lad finding out what becoming a man is all about: ‘all your dreams are made while you’re chained to the mirror and the razor blade’. (Clearly never heard of electric shavers). I prefer the lesser played singles like champagne supernova and don’t look back and I will listen to roll with it but there are a couple of forgettables, such as she’s electric and some might say. I do like the raw distortion and guitar wall of sound across most tracks. Clearly not going for a super polished studio recording which is at least authentic for these lads.
Still can't believe Morning Glory wasn't the opening track. I like to believe that a fight over this was a big part of the brothers falling out.
Day 25 (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis I remember hearing “Wonderwall” for the first time sometime in the late 90s when I was around 6 years old. It just sounded different. Even after hearing it probably over a thousand times, it’s still somehow insanely iconic. I honestly don’t even know why. It just works. I’ve heard this album before, but it’s been a long time. I’m not a massive Oasis fan, but I definitely like them. And honestly, this album is close to no-skips for me. “Wonderwall” into “Don’t Look Back in Anger” is such a ridiculous back-to-back combo. There really aren’t many albums with two songs that legendary sitting next to each other. The middle part of the album is maybe the weakest section for me, but even then it’s still good. Overall this is just legendary Britpop. Big melodies, attitude, catchy choruses. You can hear why this album became so massive. This is a strong 4 for me, but I can already tell I’ll revisit it a few times in the next weeks and there’s definitely a chance it becomes a 5. Wine pairing? Forget wine. This calls for cheap English lager. Carling feels correct somehow. Food pairing? Proper Manchester pub food. Steak and ale pie with chips feels perfect for this album. Vinyl? Don’t own it, but definitely want it. Favourite song? “Don’t Look Back in Anger”. First listen? No. Overall 4 out of 5.
meerdere bangers. prima album
I love this album. Sure the hits are great but the whole thing is strong. Don’t Look Back in Anger and Cast No Shadow are my personal faves
I dont actually give a rats this is mint
4.5/5
I never thought I would enjoy Oasis this much as I did with this album. Itvis not only Wonderwall but all the songs are great:good melodies and lyrics even with Liam's idiosyncrasies. I can understand why this is popular in mid 90s and it is still resonates,now with a little bit of nostalgia with the unplugged technology times. This place is well deserved and Oasis should not be forgetvin this era. Sound and attitude defining. 4/5
I really enjoyed this album. I know it was made as a kind of stadium rock, radio-friendly album, but that's fine by me. Lyrically it isn't the most inspired thing in the world, but that's my only real knock against it. I'd listen to this album again for sure.
Album sounds like better times. Some bum tracks, but plenty of bangers.
Classic!
I cannot stand this album
Really liked it. Can’t give it more than an 8/10 because my friend hates oasis
Not the biggest fan of Oasis, but this is probably their best album. Heard it quite a bit back when it came out - lots of fans at my store. Listening to it again, it's pretty good. Still not going to buy a copy, but it's not bad. 3 1/2 stars.
4.5
I mean this is all the oasis bangers. They grate on me a bit sometimes, but maybe that’s because being from the north of England these are the kinds of songs you know the words to before you’re onto solid food. But I can’t deny that there are times ahead of me when I’ll be singing at least one of these songs loudly at some summer party.
The Beatles did it first but better.
I really like this album. Guitar is excellent, and I love Liam Gallagher's voice. Favorite Oasis album of mine, and Don't Look Back in Anger is my favorite Oasis song. However, I can't stand Wonderwall.
favs: hello, roll with it, hey now, champagne supernova
This is the rare Britpop album that actually had enough impact to merit inclusion. I mean, it's the one with "Wonderwall" on it. The actual album is very loud yet poppy rock music. Many songs, especially the big hits, are incredibly reminiscent of the Beatles(not inherently a bad thing). The vocals and lyrics are okay, but they're not anything phenomenal. The album's real strength comes with its hookiness and distinctly retro sounds. Although it is a good album, I do believe that it is massively overrated(and everyone knows Wonderwall is massively overplayed). It's not the 5-star all timer that the vast majority of reviewers think it is, but it is a pretty solid 3.5-4 star pop album from 1995.
I mean it’s good. It has hits. But I just don’t fully vibe with oasis. 7/10
I got wonderwalled and after that it was like getting weezered till champagne supernova
Enjoyed the flip out of this when I was at university. Classic britpop
enjoyed it more than i expected
Solid with hits.high 4
In the least pejorative way possible, What’s the Story (Morning Glory?) sounds like it’s been fine-tuned for karaoke. It’s catchy, cathartic, and a little cheesy. I can only imagine how deafening the crowds must have been at the reunion gigs. Oasis’ 2025 tour setlist featured 6 songs from their debut; 8 from Morning Glory; 2 from Be Here Now; 1 from Heathen Chemistry; and more surprisingly while three of their latter-day LPs were in no way represented, 5 songs from their b-sides album The Masterplan. It suggests then that for fans of Oasis, Morning Glory represents the zenith, so good that the b-sides are getting their time in the sun thirty years later. Received wisdom while I was growing up was that Definitely Maybe was Oasis’ best album by quite some margin. Certainly that’s what the Gallagher brothers repeated post-break up. While it might be the “cooler” choice I agree with fans that the follow up is the superior record. Not only is it tighter, with a greater number of iconic songs, it feels like the culmination of the whole Brit-pop project.
Es un álbum accesible, cómodo, emocional. Rock + pop+ Beatles vibes . No te desafía , te abraza.
Banger on top of banger on top of banger… unfortunately I really dislike the Gallagher brothers… but the album is a very quality 4.4.
Only knew Wonderwall going into this. No real nostalgia for this album, but I think it holds up! Really enjoyable listen. 8/10 Most Excellent
It was very nostalgic, I was born in 94, I will always love listening to a whole 90s album. The album itself has alot of hits and its a great sounds no skips
Damn you oasis, as much as I don't like you guys...this is a good album. I think this is probably peak oasis. Yes it's loud, obnoxious, and annoying, but that's typical for them. This is a perfect blend of everything that oasis is good at and all the songs are enjoyable and really work well together in this album. Point off for it being oasis, sorry not sorry, it's just cause they're aresholes Fav track: Don't look back in anger
One of the most frustrating albums I can think of. Frequent moments of brilliance, nuggets of great songwriting and fantastic layering overshadowed by Liam Gallagher's often awful whining, which is of the variety that makes committing arson seem appealing. I'm still going to have to score this 4/5 for the core instrumentation and the melodies in and of themselves, despite them desperately crying out for a more capable vocalist.
Shocking 4 from me. I used to think their hits were way too long but I don't mind them these days and the other tracks on this record slap hard. Generally for me to give something a 4 or higher it means that most every track caught my interest, something that never happened before with Morning Glory for me. Britpop finally makes sense to me 30 years later so that helps too. Enjoyed this album more than I ever have before.
A weird album, and one clearly made for the 90s Britpop-crazed masses. But there isn’t a single miss (except The Swamp Song v2, and arguably Wonderwall). Plenty of groove to go around, and a nice “full” texture that works well for playing on roadtrips. The opener, Hello, makes for an intense intro – though I could also see it closing out the album too. Loud, more-blurry-than-brash guitars take the centre stage alongside vocals that can only be described as "over-enunciated". Why does he sound like that? (This aptly describes most of the songs here, by the way.) The Vib-VIIb-I chord progression spells a tale as old as time, yet it’s still pretty darn effective at building up tension that releases throughout the remainder of the record. Then we encounter Roll With It, more of a rocking, bluesy number. Loud towards the end with a heavy-metal-type ending. Cool. …And after aallllllllll. You're my wonderwaallllllllll. I have no idea why this song in particular blew up when most other tracks on WTSMG rock so much harder. And adding an acoustic guitar cello doesn’t make your song a classy joint (though it puts up a pretty convincing act). Pretty sure it’s one of those songs where advertisement made it so omnipresent that everyone started hearing it everywhere and convincing themselves (and each other) than it’s much better than it really is. The lyrics are pretty terrible too. I only give this song a “like” because, given how enormous it is in popular culture, it would feel strange not to. (Later on the album, Cast No Shadow – a tune with a similar tempo, melody, and energy – outshines Wonderwall in every possible way.) But the next song, Don’t Look Back In Anger… I can get behind this one. A few cool chord choices here and there are guaranteed to grab your attention, and the singing is the strongest it’s been so far. In comparison to all the previous tracks, Hey Now! fades a little into the background – though it’s still pretty decent. The highlight would have to be that semi-gazey guitar instrumental in the middle. The first version of The Swamp Song deserves to be significantly longer. The grooviest Oasis gets on the record. (The second version, not so much.) Some Might Say… rambunctious, rocky, catchy as high heck. Maybe a little too “happy-sounding” for my taste, but a great track regardless. I love when strong bands make use of vocal harmonies, and Oasis does that here and also heavily in She’s Electric (which also makes use of the aforementioned chord progression. Those chords never miss). The song’s end kind of sounds like the end of With A Little Help From My Friends. The singer readopts that bizarre and exceptionally annoying Wonderwallian accent in Champagne Supernova – but the overwhelming, blurry, blissful Britpoppiness cannot be understated. The song is fantastic if you ignore Gallagher’s vocal. Parts of it remind me, strangely, of Sympathy For The Devil (the best Rolling Stones song), particularly the lead guitar. 4/5 Key tracks: Don’t Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, She’s Electric
Um dos meus xodós. Não sei se é tão bom quanto eu acho
I mean damn, "Wonderwall" is actually a damn good song huh. With this project I've worried that everything has been "whatever I guess it's fine", so maybe the problem was me. But this one resonated! I can see why this is a classic.
The Netflix show Everything Sucks is as close as I’ve ever seen to a perfect depiction of being a high school kid in 1995. Especially the scene where they get this CD in the mail and listen to it for the very first time.
I liked it. I'd put it on again. Low-ish 4.
Muito bom
muy, muy bueno
Whatever here's wonderwall
oasis, n. - British English /əʊˈeɪsɪs/ oh-AY-siss Originally: A fertile place in the desert Contemporary: One band with two brothers and one musical talent with one eyebrow Man muss nur dieses Album hören! Es war davor nicht besser und wurde auch danach nur schlechter. Wenn die Arroganz und Ekelhaftigkeit steigt und das Talent ausschließlich bei einer Person liegt und dann noch stagniert oder abbaut bekommt man Oasis der Mid 90s (zwischen 4-5 Sterne - Entscheidung zu 4 um endgültig Blur mit Parklife zu den Britpop Gewinnern zu erklären) Final note: Don't look back in Anger > Wonderwall Dennoch feines Album!
classic brit pop
These wankers have some ears for this music thang.
Great album. Oasis have such a unique sound that all the songs almost sound the same but it’s not really an issue if you like it
4.5. The ending of champagne supernova makes me want to give it a 5
The closest a britpop album ever got to me in my life. One everyone knows. And despite or because of Wonderwall, Noel’s whiny vocals nothing overstays its charm and who else has Champagne Supernova or Don’t Look Back in Anger?
Solid 90s
I always knew about this album, my students in San Francisco introduced to it, and its two big hits were perennially on radio when radio mattered. But I never really gave it a seriously listen... until now. It's a fantastic album, a signature watermark of the 90s Birtpop scene that was overrunning America at the time. From the opening track "Hello" with its balance of volatility and a great hook to the final magisterial song on the collection, (What's the Story) Morning Glory really holds together well. Most of the tracks bear a Beatles' influence in their melodic compositions and Noel Gallagher's nasally singing that evokes Lennon, but I also feel some of the Psychedelic Furs in there, along with late-period Paul Weller. "Wonderwall", of course is a classic, great lyrics, great tight musicianship. I feel the drum track is key in this entire song. In "Roll With It" the open chord strumming of the guitar gives a song a looseness that runs rampant over the track, and along with "Hey Now", feels like a track built for the live shows, where they really rock out. "Don't Look Back In Anger" hearkens to the good old English rage in Osborne's play, and also contains the best lyric: "Please don't put your life In the hands of a rock'n'roll band Who'll throw it all away." Damn, it's like yes, Sally, you can screw us, but don't get attached cause we're already leaving, groupie! The beauty of "Cast No Shadow" is accented with orchestration and wanting background vocals and also come with this kicker: "As he faced the sun/He cast no shadow." The hollowness of daily life was never more succinctly put. There's grunge on this album, but also straight-up beautiful balladry. And then there's a final crowning track. "Champagne Supernova" is a supremely special song. It starts out slow and measured and then gradually crescendoes to this epic psychedelic peak that strains to keep the hot emotions in check. The lyrics are eminently quotable, and I hear people of ages singing along whenever this track plays. 30 years later, it still resonates with such power and confidence.
Heerlie
Mes préférées : she’s electric et morning glory. L’album est cool presque aucun skip. Les voix sont belles et variées. Les instrus sont être de jolies balades et du rock plus classique
Oasis is all about attitude. If you’re not in that type of mood it can drag. This is a good album. I would say even a great album. But yeah I kind of get bored by the repetitiveness within the tracks. If your not in that mood, it won’t hit. Oasis is one of those bands that fill an itch when you need it. Overall, this is a solid 4/5. Definitely maybe is the better record for me and what started it all. But I’d say Morning Glory has the higher highs.
Was never really an Oasis fan but I guess we'll see. Not bad, I think I maybe kinda like Oasis. Pretty basic rock but also catchy. This is a pretty decent album, maybe I'm just older and less judgy but this album is pretty good.
its a big one
I've always liked the popular tracks, but listening to the album as a whole is showing me a depth to their music I hadn't realized was there.
Random thoughts: * I feel like so much of Oasis is wrapped up in what you think about how they appropriated the Beatles. Obviously a bit complicated for this Beatles fanboy. * This is the peak Oasis and the best album by far with their biggest hits. * This is so 90s. Wonderwall and Champagne Super Nova were songs I remember being huge hits. * I don't remember "Don't Look Back In Anger" being a hit in the 90s. I feel like it gained a second life through live performances or just had a slower burn than those other hits. It might be the best song on this album or at least gives Wonderwall a run for its money. * Anyway, this is a 90s classic that everyone owned. It's not up there with the Beatles but it was the definitive album of 90s Britpop.
Genial
Muy buen algun con canciones iconicas su sonido es la definicion de brit pop
4/5
Certainly their best effort (by some margin)
water in a dessert
If 26 out of the 40 songs you throw at me in a 2-hour and 20 minutes album sound exactly the same I am bitting your carotid off. That being said, it was an incredible album that made me like Oasis.
Estilo de musica similar al mío, capaz algunos cambios medio bruscos
oh! i've heard some of these before and never knew it was this band. it has that kind of older brit rock/pop sound, which, to be clear, i like. feels like this album would be great to listen to on a long journey of some sort where you have a lot of time to look out the window as things pass you by, ideally you are not the one driving. "some might say" is quite good imo. "champagne supernova" is also a good chill song. ~~~ anyway here's wonderwall ~~~
one of the two goods albums produced by this lot. I considered giving it a thee but it's legacy is pretty significant so that upped it to a 4
Anyways... here's my review I was quite pleased when I discovered that this album had a lot more to offer than just Wonderwall. While it is certainly a product of its time with its angsty alt-rock attitude, I still got a lot of enjoyment out of listening to it. I found both the instrumentation and the lyrics to be catchy and engaging without coming across as cheap or corny. Truthfully while listening to this I felt like a main character in a 90s/00s sitcom who keeps experiencing small misfortunes but remains implacable in their desire to enjoy living life in their own way, and I have to respect the album for making me feel that way.
I had no idea there was more to Oasis than Wonderwall! What a pleasant surprise
Good, nothing life changing but nice.
The Beatles, but what if they were soaked in 90s grunge and cinematic orchestral?
Przeslucham 3 piosenki 😭 not bad tho i will come back
I liked this way more than I thought I would.
love em or hate em, this has some fkn bangers on it
such a classic
90’s nostalgia at its must. Appart from the massive radio hits a few fillers without interest a a couple of hidden gems (at least for me - a Blur fan…) D’hésitation Electric and Mornig Glory !
Look, all you British Gen X’ers on this site. I’m truly sorry BritPop did a number on your psyche and apparently truly hurt you, I really am. That sucks, but not my problem. This album rocks and was the perfect album at the right time. Leave your hangup at the door, pick up an acoustic guitar in 7th grade and play wonderwall for your crush.
Можно попытаться послушать этот альбом в отрыве от того что уже знаю про оазис. Этот бритпоп более насыщенный и яркий, чем то что слышал до этого. Он точно на бритпопной координате будет являться жирной точкой. В таком случае для индустрии этот альбом звучит интересно, качественно и хорошо. Вокал не надоедает Есть хиты Переслушал бы 3.7
Do I adore it now? No. Was this a huge part of the 90s? Sure was. Every song is quite memorable. Showing respect with the rating.
anyways, here's wonderwall
Didn’t listen to this back in the day, other than the singles. I’m pleasantly surprised! It sounds great and the singles feel like old friends.
I've listened to this dozens of times at this point. "Wonderwall" is a meme, but it's a good song. Nothing bad to say about this album, but it's so big, I can't really think of anything original to say other than that I unironically like it.
Album très sympa, de chouettes musiques comme Wonderwall ou She's Electric ou encore 4/5
Конечно, сложно слушать объективно такую популярную музыку. И вопрос почему ничего не оставило на мне впечатления, кроме вандервол и Донт лук бэк Ин энгер . От последней мурашки
Ale today it's gonna be the day an tomorrow will be day too. Or whatever Oasis said. I like this album. Of course Wonderwall is Wonderwall but don't look back in anger is masterpiece and I love it. Rest of this album is pretty good and a lot enjoyable for me.
Don't Look Back in Anger makes me cry and I don't know why and it's been like this for a bit and it's a little concerning. One of the first albums I ever bought. Haters be damned.
Very enjoyable
I love Britpop!!! Geef me zeikerige stemmen!!! Ja genieton!
Champagne Supernova is a masterpiece. This is what peak psychadelics use sounds like! For me, this song is to Oasis what Bohemian Rhapsody is to Queen. The absolute hight of their careers, if not Britpop as a whole. Don't Look Back in Anger is another gem. The song is a staple in pubs and karaoke bars alike, with a chorus that rivals the likes of Sweet Caroline and Angels. And yet I can't help but feel like it deserves more than that? The other tracks on the album are great as well, but the sheer brilliance of the above mentioned songs overshines them a bit. That being said, I have gained a new appreciation for She's Electric! Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
I can see why this band had the men of this generation in a vice grip. These are meat and potatoes anthems for the working class. They're loud, brass and the Gallagher brothers bring buckets of attitude to the table. Even the non-single tracks here have massive potential to be chart-toppers. 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' stand out due to slower pace and the strings that make the songs soar. You can hear their Beatles influence the strongest on the chorus of 'She's Electric'. They may be lacking the intelligence that you will find in music of the other Britpop bands like Pulp and Suede, but these songs are are much more digestible to the masses. That being said, I could do without ever hearing 'Wonderwall' ever again due to how overplayed it is and 'Roll With It' was certainly a choice to be selected as the single for them to go into a chart war with Blur. It's a very generic Oasis song and I would have picked almost any other song on the record. Whilst I ultimately think that Oasis are overrated and that they never followed up on the success of this album, I can admit that this record (along with the debut and accompanying b-sides) are a great time and they take me right back to my childhood.
Full of classics, no skip album. But on re-listening to the whole album, hard to listen to objectively due to hype and nostalgia.
I can't give this less than four, even though I didn't actually want to hear it again before I died. It was sooo good at the time. It's still good. In fact, annoyingly, I must concede it's a bona fide "no skips". But, god, those songs and that northern swagger make me grit my teeth these days.
A 90’s classic. Oasis were on top of the world. Contains 3 all timers in Wonderwall, Don’t look back in anger and Champagne Supernova. The middle of the album- Hey Now to She’s electric- drags a little. I’ll always be nostalgic for this one.
British people
Its just so 90s...and so British. Oasis is one of those bands where listening to the album is meh but seeing them live would probably be really fun.
