Reviews (page 6 of 16)
They may have birthed a generation of guitar bros at house parties (me included) but man did they have a banger of an album here. The hits are obviously the standouts, and the other songs are okay. Great addition to the list.
I was pretty excited to get this album today since I was only aware of the hits… and man those songs are massive! The rest of the album doesn’t live up to the hype but overall it was an enjoyable listen. But I dare someone to name a catchier guitar lick than the one that closes “Don’t Look Back In Anger” holy shit that’s good.
Love it!! I liked most on the album besides the first couple of tracks maybe, didn’t caught my attention too much. The rest of the album instead was pure vibes, enjoyed it a lot
4.09/5 Stars Top Songs: Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger, Hello
No wonder they thought they were The Beatles. If I wrote songs these good, I'd think I was John Lennon, too.
In a mood, but kind of annoying to me honestly. Glad dudes have this as their outlet though. Maybe I'm just mad this was never acoustically sung at me. Don't Look Back in Anger is okay. DNF.
Roll with it started to hurt my ears a little but overall it was good. I can hear the criticism of them going to pop and mainstream. I will also say I think overall they are slightly overrated and I think their massive feud helped turn them into something bigger than they would have been without it. But there are some hits on this that have a great alt pop rock sound that make you want to dance along and be super mellow at the same time.
Oasis is a band that I'm just kinda meh about but this grew on me. It's pretty good! Wonderwall feels overplayed but it's still a good song. Lots of other good songs too with pretty good songwriting. I don't understand what's up (With The Parenthesis) but Rock On?
This is a great album but Wonderwall is BY FAR the most overrated song of the 90’s. So overrated and overplayed that I don’t even include it in my general 90’s hits playlist. It’s just a really dumb song. The rest of the album is well written and is varied enough to stay interesting over the years. Oasis are not the best band of all time that they think they are. Their first two albums are pretty great but beyond that they have their heads so far up their asses they can see daylight coming into their mouths.
Don't Look Back in Anger is my favorite on this, what an awesome song. And me being a dummy, I didn’t realize until today they use the riff from Imagine. Beyond the hits I already knew, I wasn't 5 wowed at first, but after three listens, there's a lot of great stuff here, and it’s hard not to like every song. She's Electric is probably my favorite "new to me" song. Morning Glory is a good one too, and they all have their own unique charm. There's a messiness to some of their songs that might normally annoy me, but they make it work somehow. Pulp still has my 90s Brit pop heart, but this is a winner too.
Some of my friends back in high school were really into Oasis but I somehow just never got into them. Listening to this album for the first time in nearly a couple of decades and I feel like I appreciate it more. Maybe I've mellowed out more or my musical tastes have just expanded but, regardless, I enjoyed the album, overall, and will listen again.
She’s electric
Una banda conocida, con buenas canciones, pero no es para mi
Not as good as debut but still very good
it is a bit to slow in my opinion
Quite legendary, so many global bangers
It was aight ig…
I'm at album number 1013, and somehow the britpop albums on this list have surpassed 5,000? OK, a joke, but honestly at this point I'm so soured on britpop that I found it difficult to enjoy (What's the Story) Morning Glory? when it's peak! We have a clever album title, legendary songs (which include a classic meme!), catchy hooks, and more genres than just britpop (thank goodness). Unfortunately, a lot of this album comes across as emo teenager, and I find it hard to enjoy whiny vocals as a 36-year-old. My point is that I was very wishy-washy over this album--I think because I expected more from an album that has such a big legacy. I heard some interesting aspects that at least made my listen worthwhile. The vocals and lyrics of "She's Electric" are reminiscent of the Beatles. Specific beats in the aforementioned song and "Hello" sound just like Iggy Pop, particularly his song "The Passenger." "Don't Look Back In Anger"'s instrumental intro reminded me of John Lennon's "Imagine."
There are sooooo many britpop albums on this project, and so many of them don't deserve a spot on here. Well at this point, I can honestly say after getting Oasis' first album (Definitely Maybe) early on in this project, and its follow up, "What's the Story Morning Glory" very late in the project, Oasis is honestly the blueprint and what all of these 90s britpop acts aspired to be. And while others attempted to imitate Oasis, Oasis was already evolving beyond simple britpop. You can hear inklings of grunge and other genres brought back around during the greater 90s alt rock movement. The album itself is paced well and makes for a very steady, lively listen all the way through. I have always found "Champagne Supernova" to be a particularly evocative song, one that has a slow climb to a soaring climax -- it makes for a stellar album closer and serves as a good summary of the excellence of this album. Again, so much britpop could have been left off this project. This is the britpop album that needed to be here. This album says everything that needed to be said.
probably the best britpop album. The hits were amazing and the cuts were all at a high standard. This is a low 9/10
Beatles-meets-grunge. Very good but sometimes lost in itself
*Listened before the project* Wanna say something really offensive to them but I really love champagne supernova, and it is too embarrassing to admit that. btw fuck u Liam Gallagher you are real piece of s**t
One of my best Never Have I Evers is "Never have I ever been a colossal douche enough to learn how to play Wonderwall on guitar and subject other humans to it at parties in an attempt to look sensitive." But seriously, What's The Story Morning Glory is a nice evolution from Oasis's debut album, which was also a pretty solid showing. This album has more depth and isn't afraid to try some different styles. They slow things down a bit while maintaining their energy and it works out well. Standouts on this listen were "Don't Look Back in Anger" "Some Might Say" "Morning Glory" and "Champaign Supernova." And, I mean, sure, "Wonderwall." It's a meme at this point so why not? Overall I like the album, even more than their previous record. It's got some really good jams. I didn't quite grow up with Oasis but I like what I hear when I listen to them. This would have absolutely been on repeat in my teens if I had gotten into it earlier. Very solid 4/5, would listen again.
A classic. I don`t think this album is overrated! I had a pretty bad day and this album actually helped me getting up and walking to school. My favourite songs are hey now, morning glory and of courrrrssssse DON`T LOOK BACK IN ANGER!!! Sorry but this is just a masterpiece. -Lemon
Would say 3.5 stars! Liked it, some of the vibe isn’t for me but ends strong and Wonderwall is a classic!
Best BritPop, Little Indy
Slip inside the eye of your mind Don’t you know you might find A less dull and whiney album?
some classic bangers but as an album not overly fussed, quite samey
Not that much of an Oasis fan but still a good album with some cracking songs
Step down from the walls of sound in the first album and I never need to hear supernova or wonderwall ever again but there’s some bangers on the tracklist
I had a good time listening to the album. Apart from the heavy hitters (Wonderwall, Don't look back in Anger), I didn't know too much about the album. I was pleasently surprised with a few songs, while others didn't really hit the mark. Overall a decent album, not super memorable and a bit dull by the end, especially after the 2nd listen.
This was overdue to listen to
Favorites: roll with it, wonderwall, don’t look back in anger, she’s electric

Hello
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Oasis 🤮
The second star is to admit that the songs are fine. Just really can't stand the voice of Liam Gallagher
If narcissism was an album.
I'm not crying you're crying
In many ways Oasis the perfect mid 90's band. The sound of "Morning Glory" rings out like a harbinger of what is to come for alternative music for the rest of the decade. The album playfully pushes against the music conventions coming from the last years of europop, grunge, and pop hip hop, and offers something both gritty, poppy, approachable. Still full of crunchy guitar, the songs are amended with melodies saccharine to glum and orchestral overtures. So many of the hits are undeniably sing along songs that are nearly predetermined to feature in any bar with a digital juke box serving Harps between the hours of 12:00am and 4:00am. No slouching, the Gallaghers themselves with stories of disfunction and hooliganry just embolden the mythos of some sort of Gen X Beatles: not about love, not about peace, but about getting pissed on lager, head-butting someone, and walking home smoking your last spliff. Almost like an iceberg of Alternative Music, we smash right into Oasis in 95' and out falls from the hull Weezer, Matchbox 20, Eve 6, The Verve, Ben Folds Five, Goo Goo Dolls, New Radicals, etc. etc. It's undeniable the impact that Oasis had, and specifically this album. The singles off this album seemed to have decades of staying power, and still got playtime even years after Oasis had moved on. Despite that this album has some really great songs on it, I am still baffled that this band sold out the Man U stadium for 5 nights, nearly half a million packing themselves into nosebleeds to see Wonderwall.
Bro, what even IS a "Wonderwall"!??
it's fine, like RHCP. just don't see myself listening to oasis on any occasion. favorites: Hello, Wonderwall, It's Better People 2.8 community rating prediction: 3.4
Really liked
it was quite fire shockingly
Vastly overplayed and over covered it's still completely deserving of 5 stars. The music is full of hooks and the lyrics are either genius irony or verbal diahorrea. In both cases catchy. Liams guitar sound is really much more deserving of comment and what a great live band they were; with a nice live sound in the studio.
After the initial buzz of excitement for their first album and the release and catchy, fun & often euphoric nature of this hugely successful follow up, they became ubiquitous & overexposure led to cooling towards WtSMG. 30 odd years on and being tasked to listen again here and detached from the Britpop wars of the time, this is just a great sing-along rush of an album that has surprisingly few low points and a few highs. I find myself really enjoying the Richard Ashcroft tribute Cast No Shadow, She's Electric and Some Might Say. But then there are the bigger songs and the closing epic Champagne Supernova so you really have quite a complete work here and despite really NOT being an Oasis fan and going nowhere near their recent reform tour (not even tempted), f*ck it this is a 4.5 star album so here leans towards a...
Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger
Kind of a guilty pleasure album. Still bangs. 4/5
didn’t listen
MY CUP OF TEAAAAAAAA YOU'RE MY WONDERWALLLLLLLLL The first song is called Hello cause they literally greeting me and prepping me for the divineness in my ears Dont Look Back in Anger is most underrated song They put the Swamp Songs on the album just for shits and giggles Every song except the swamps have been added. But I like the beginning and end more than the middle of the album 9/10
Added the whole entire thing to my playlist. Love Oasis down <3. Definitely want to explore more music like this. Great listening experience
I really am not into Oasis I found out.
Classic album
Zweifelsohne sind da einige der besten Britpop-Hymnen ever drauf, aber es halt auch Skip-Songs und teils schon richtige Längen. Mehr als drei Sterne sind für mich auf Albumlänge leider nicht drin. PS: Blur > Oasis
Zeitlose Hymnen, natürlich 5 Sterne. Biblical.
Ist kein perfektes Album. Der Opener haut mich nie so wirklich aus den Socken mit seinem zusammengeklauten Outro, "She's Electric" ist auch super unscheinbar und die Sinnhaftigkeit der beiden Interludes verstehe ich nicht. Aber die Platte wird durch die restlichen Songs auf ein unfassbar hohes Niveau gehoben. Die Ansammlung so vieler zeitlosen Hymnen ist schon beeindruckend. Was hier noch möglich gewesen wäre, wenn man die ausgezeichneten B-Seiten noch irgendwie in die Tracklist integriert hätte... Dennoch eine sehr gute 4,5.
Eigentlich müsste ich dem Album einen Stern abziehen, weil mich Wonderwall einfach so nervt. Aber dafür ist das ganze Ding schon ein ziemliches Brett!
Funktioniert als Album erstaunlich schlecht. Ja klar, Hit gefüttert ist es ja, aber die Interludes die hart abbrechen und neben den Hits dann noch „Füller“ die das ganze nicht zwingend aufwerten, geben dem Gesamtwerk einen faden Beigeschmack. +2 Sterne für die Hitdichte.
Ohne historische Vorbelastung wäre das ohne Zweifel ein Fünf-Sterne-Album. Aufgrund meiner Jugendtraumata, ausgelöst durch die Heerscharen an "Leuten mit Gitarre" bei Lagerfeuern (bei denen ich einfach mal den Moment und die Ruhe genießen wollte), und die eigentlich nur Wonderwall und Westerland spielen konnten, es darf auch unzählige Male getan haben, also dafür, dass Oasis einen so ultra nervigen Song produziert haben, muss ich direkt mal zwei Sterne abziehen. Zwei weitere Sterne ziehe ich ab, weil hier wahrscheinlich jeder andere Dulli vier oder fünf Sterne geben wird und ich will einfach nicht dauernd diese Band in der Statistik oben sehen...
Mehli was bitte für Skip Songs? Und komm mir jetzt nicht mit den zwei kurzen Interludes. Hab wenigstens die Eier und gib zu, dass du Punkte abziehst weil dich Wonderwall nervt. Blur zwar größer Oasis, aber an diesem Album ist alles absolut und 100%ig groß
Obviously iconic. With an iconic album closer
Favorite Track: Don't Look Back In Anger
So far Roll with it is my favorite, also don’t look back in anger, also hey now, also she’s electric, also morning glory, lastly champagne supernova. Solid album. Rating: 8.5/10. Need more listens.
No need to write a review. It has been reviewed to death. Maybe more than death. Death consistently gets a low score. This album always gets a near fucking perfect score. Is it perfect? No. Is it derivative? Certainly, they just ripped off the Beatles. Does anyone care. Not a fucking bit. Is it listenable, entertaining, and you can listen all the way through? Exactly. 4.5/5
I love Oasis. I think they are much better than blur.
Sweet
Bruv-core
look if you can't go full anglophile and imagine singing don't look back in anger absolutely pissed at the pub with the lads and then going back to your loft on the chube with wonderwall playing in your head, you just hate life plain and simple
good music to have in the background, didn’t keep me very engaged though
Maybe three songs that could've been left out, other than that an impeccable album.
Whiney, sulking mostly bad. I’m reminded of my boyfriend in 9th or 10th grade singing me Wonderwall and me breaking up with him because the sentiment was not shared. All that said, Champagne Supernova is a phenomenal song.
2.0 not offensive but not anything else ether
pretty solid. Good first day!
Quite liked it! Pretty light, some good songs, knew the major ones. What makes me not sure is that they all sounds a bit samey? But it was a fun listen
This is a fine album. I had very low expectations due to how annoyed I end up being about Wonderwall, but the songs are pretty good over all. I would give it a 3.5. Still deciding if I'm rounding up or down.
i really dislike this genre but this really worked for me randomly
Good in parts
Decided to approach this in a purely logical, unemotional fashion. Hello - 2/10 Roll with it - 4/10 - Chorusey bit is quite strong but the 'roll with it section' drives me crazy Wonderwall - 1/10 - maybe the most confusing song in popular music history. Confusing like, what on earth do people see in it. Don't look back in anger - 8/10 - definitely very amazing, but it's hard to enjoy a song you've heard so many times Hey now - 3/10 - again, there's one good section which it's nice to have repeated, but the rest is extremely dull Swamp song 3/10 - feels unoasisy to have an instrumental interlude in the middle of the album, but it doesn't offer much does it Some might say 7/10 - good track Cast no shadow 7/10 - good track She's electric 6/10 - good track, but the crass lyrics clash horribly with the extremely family friendly sound. Which kinda summaries Oasis doesn't it? Morning glory 3/10 - lad rock Swamp song 2 2/10 - really losing interest at this point Champagne supernova 6/10 - too long 52/120 = 2 stars
mid 5 for a short period between late 1994 and early 1995 noel gallagher was blessed by the music gods. what he did to deserve this we can never know. their blessings lasted just long enough for him to write a single album with nothing but timeless pop bangers. then that was it. this album is the oasis best of. every track is a deserved classic. despite the amount of "wee in a plastic pint glass and throw it" that went on at oasis concerts, theres not a soggy moment on here. im marking it down to a mid 5 simply because it doesnt chime with me on that personal level, and i count that in these reviews. i cant bring myself to put it along side revolver, wish you were here and ziggy, but im astonished to say it probably deserves to be there, it is that good. theres a lad i play football with from stockport who skills me up each week over and over and over again. ive seen the pictures of him at oasis sobbing his eyes out, i couldnt help but be moved. you can only say fair play to both.
Never gonna give this anything less than 5 stars, simple as
Sunny winter morning. I actually didn’t realize so many notable songs came from this album. Upbeat vibes all around. Champagne supernova supremacy. Feeling inspired to listen to more oasis. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is cuz I love it but I’m not like in love w it
Joa, ich mag die Stimme nicht. Quäle mich jetzt durch das Album. Qualitäten sind sicher da ... aber .... frage mich was für eine Wertung ich geben soll. Also das sind alles subjektive Wertung wie es mir gefällt und wie viel Bock ich auf die Alben habe, nicht wie gut und einflussreich sie sind.
Just a great album one of oasis’s best
I mean its a classic.
Excellent album with quite a few bangers on it. Never get tired of listening to Wanderwall.
just started this so was up a little later to hear (whats the story) morning glory? by Oasis, I knew about the band and had heard of them, never really heard them.. for me this is an okey album, maybe i would like it more if i listened to it 3 or four times, right now im lissening to cast no shadow.. ye ye, i havent listened to the hole album yet, but im bad at listening to music without doing anything u know. this song had a great begining and message, okey now im hearing "shes electric" bro thats may be my favourite.. okey in general a good album i liket it, kinda boring not my taste but would like it in a keezy movie or somthing
Mega dobrý: Wonderwall Don't look back in anger Hey now Some might say
Oasis are alright, they have maybe two good songs from this album, but I can't really say that they don't have a very generic sound sometimes. Overall, it's alright having this in the background.
You can have your standards, I’m a cheap date.
sympathieke plundering van the beatles... maar na tijdje begint de stem serieus tegen te steken
3.5
The title track is amazing, although singles overplayed, this album is great. I think it was too “old” for me when it came out, I was 14 and thought it was too lame and mainstream. For all the britpop in this list of albums this has to be king.
Songs: "Hello" 7/10, "Roll With It" 7.5/10, "Wonderwall" 10/10 legit, "Don't Look Back in Anger" 8/10, "Hey Now!" 7.5/10, "Some Might Say" 8/10, "Cast No Shadow" 7/10, "She's Electric" 7.5/10, "Morning Glory" 6.5/10, "Champagne Supernova" 8/10. Thoughts: Singer sounds far away from the mic in the album. Good British voice. Sick guitar and drums. Wonderwall is such a banger despite what anyone might say. Real catchy hooks. Upbeat Ratings: 8/10. Really like. Some of the songs blend together, but I would buy this record.
Haven’t listened to it in a long time. Lots of bangers, lovely vibe
Every song on this album is better than wonderwall or champagne supernova.
They’re really good at writing the first half of a song. All-time heaters interspersed with grating repetition that long overstays its welcome. Overall positive on this one but I got visibly upset as the lack of lyrical variety in some of the tracks were almost comically obvious.
apart from 3 songs its actually pretty mid
Classic British album
how many times have I heard this album and the songs still sound all the same?
For pure nostalgia this is a 5 for me. It gets a bit washed out with too much sounds in the middle but man. Wonderwall? Champagne Supernova? 5 on those alone
Acknowledging the "white guy puts capo on 2nd fret is the signal to leave the party" legacy that "(Anyways, Here's) Wonderwall" has, this is an incredible album. If this album only had "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Champagne Supernova" with the rest of the runtime eaten by mindless filler tracks, it'd still be a 4. But this album is so much deeper than the big singles that get sung at football games. "Morning Glory", "She's Electric", "Cast No Shadow", "Roll With It", and the rest of the album are very strong, well produced, and flawlessly performed. Yes, the Gallagher brothers are divisive and maybe some people don't like the vocals, but man. Terrific album. Not a weak track on here.
I don't quite get the lyrics but they're such earworms Tracks to Track: Don't Look Back in Anger, She's Electric, Hello
This was a super popular album the year I graduated high school. You would think it would be very memorable and a few songs are but mostly what I remember is the Gallagher brothers being next level jerks to each other and their fans. I think fame they received from their first few albums destroyed their minds at a fairly young age and they were forever incapable of operating in normal society. Listening to the music now it actually seems pretty lame. It's crazy how little staying power it had considering how popular it was.
Enjoyed it. Didn't love it.
An absolute classic !
A handful of radio hits from the mid 90s sandwiched between forgettable rock riffs. I see why this was popular at that point in time and why Oasis won the battle at this point in the BritPop wars vs. Blur, but at the same time the unoriginal tunes reminds me of Blur’s first album, which is to say, this album feels like it came out in 1990, not 1995, which makes most of the non-single tracks feel stale even 30 years later. Yes, the singles are iconic, yet, cliche for the most part. The one song that saved this album from 2 stars is Don’t Look Back in Anger. Anyways, here’s Wonderwall.
Surprisingly dated sounding in 2025, but 3 stars for “wonderwall”
"I mean, hey, it's the Wonderwall album." That's the only thought I had when I was looking through the track list for this album. To my surprise, this album was far more than it's hit single. It didn't even come close to being my favorite track by the end. I think this album, in its entirety, deserves more love and recognition than it gets. The vocals and lyricism are great, and don't even get me started on that guitar. I could listen to it for hours. I was pleasantly surprised by just how fantastic this was.
Every feeling I have about Oasis is colored by nostalgia. But as an American who only had a few records at the time "Wonderwall" dominated the airwaves, it's nostalgia for the singles, not the albums. Nevertheless, every few months, I'll get in a mood and put on "Oasis Essentials" or "I Miss Britpop" from Apple, the same way I'll sometimes do with U2 or R.E.M. I think this is my first time actually listening to the album all the way through. Since I got this one over the weekend, I actually decided to do the first three albums for context. "Definitely, Maybe" and "Be Here Now" felt like I was still listening to the playlist -- good stuff, but eventually it all drifted together into "Yup, that's what Oasis sounds like." But WTSMG gave me a distinctly warm feeling that I think the nostalgia must have been all about in the first place. My preferred track has always been "Champagne Supernova" over "Wonderwall," and I'm glad it comes at the end. in context, it feels more like a concluding statement to a collection of songs that I see now were nostalgic in their own way for the world the Beatles promised us but never arrived. That emotional connection rather than any kind of rock virtuosity is why it's a five for me. "How many special people change..."
This is far better than their first album. Just about every song is good and it houses a truly amazing number in “Don’t Look Back In Anger”
I’ve always felt oasis are a bit bland and overrated but there’s definitely some good tracks in here: “don’t look back in anger” and “wonderwall” being my faves.
I've never listened to the whole album in order before. The unfamiliar songs were…forgettable. It is a strong album for what was then a young band.
Epic. Soundtrack of the 90’s starts with this. Sadly, the b-sides are just as good, if not better, than what is on the actual record.
I unapologetically love this album. I loved it when it first came out and I love it now. I own it on vinyl and I can sing every song. I don’t look too deeply into why I like it so much. It’s fun to listen to, it’s catchy, and I love Liam’s voice. Admittedly, this is the only album I really know by them, but it’s the only one I need.
It’s good music. Sincerely. I just don’t understand the cult following. I personally think they are overrated but again I enjoy the music quite a bit. An album with strong vocals supported by great rock beats on tracks like Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, and Don’t Look Back in Anger. The off tracks still keep your attention and it’s worthy of being a regular attendee in your musical lineup.
The British sure love their Oasis. I however, am not British. I mean, before we take their word on this, let’s look at some other things that the British think are really great - Colonialism, beans on toast, saying no to fluoride, corn as a pizza topping …. So, I think we’re going to have to form our own opinion here. And it’s fine. It has well known songs and some mega-hits. But the rest is bland, dad rock. It’s trying way too hard to be the Beatles and, while it comes close in places, which is notable, the rest is hollow and performative, trite and veinglorious. Gallagher’s lyrics are neither deep nor moving. They are like a purchase made at a drive thru - fine for the moment but not really going last much longer than the present. (I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road/ Just as the sky turned black./ I took a walk with my fame down memory lane./ I never did find my way back./) Um, say what, bro? WTF is that drivel? The instrumentals are strong and the sonic experiments create interesting hooks and grooves that work well and stick with you. It’s a good pop rock record with some great songs but not much else.
This album is like a Saltine. Good but pretty plain and uninspired. They need something. Dab of jam, slice of cheese, maybe some chicken soup to dunk them in....saltines need something extra to add character. That's how I feel about Oasis, good but they are missing character, this is good Brit-Pop but it just feels empty. And why on earth is Champaine Supernova over seven minutes long?!?! Not my favorite, I'll grab a box of buttery Ritz instead.
6.5/10
Album 972 of 1089 Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory (1995) Rating : 5 / 5 Albums like this are exactly why I’ve stuck with this long listening project. Not because I expected this specific one to blow me away, but because every now and then something incredible slips through the cracks of your life… and suddenly you’re sitting there wondering how in the world you missed thirty years of greatness. I know “Wonderwall” - everybody knows “Wonderwall” - and I’ve always thought it was a near-perfect song. But the rest of this album? Brand new territory for me, and it hit like a freight train. Six songs made it to my “like” list immediately, and honestly, there’s room for more. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” feels flat-out anthemic. “Champagne Supernova” just floats and swells in the best way. Even the deeper cuts have that unmistakable lift - that sense of big, emotional, open-hearted rock done right. I think back to the mid-90s and realize I was listening to a whole lot of sports talk radio instead of albums like this, and I want to go back and tell that version of me to turn off the AM dial and pick up a CD. But coming to it fresh has its own kind of magic, too. I’m aware of the Gallagher brothers’ drama, but thankfully I never absorbed the noise around this band, the hype, or the backlash. I just got to hear the music — and the music is outstanding. I’m not calling it the greatest album ever, but I am calling it one of the most instantly rewarding, beautifully written, rock-solid records I’ve heard in this entire project. A true standout. Better late than never.
Wonderwall is, of course, a 5/5 song. The rest of the album is pretty classic indie britpop, although that's probably obvious at this point. I never really got into Oasis, which is strange because it's certainly music I'd enjoy. However, the album itself just felt like it was missing something, and that's why it's only 4/4. Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova are my favourites from this album.
don't look back in anger is one of the greatest songs of all time
Wow.This got me time travelling back in 1995 in my bedroom,only 16 yo,singing at the top of my lungs the whole album by heart,and i had it on cassette,yes,a cassette.It was the only Britpop album that got me good.I will hear it again with my more experienced ears to see if it will make any difference or change but i don't think it will.The turn in a more baladry structure (although there are loud songs here as well) with big choruses and string instrumentation really struck a chord not only in me,but in the whole universe,and fairly there was such a hype back then.And i don't give a damn about the Gallagher Bros egos.This was a perfect album,from start to finish. Most favourites: Roll With It.''I think i've got a feeling,i've lost inside''. Wonderwall.No matter how hard they try to ''rick-roll'' you with it nowadays,it still remains a masterpiece and an emblematic song of the 90's along with Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Don't Look Back In Anger.Noel's singing was always better,well most of the times.He just didn't had this attitude. Hey Now!I really love the lead guitar here. Cast No Shadow.This wasn't a favourite of mine back then,but my 46yo self find it great now.''As they took his soul,they stole his pride''. Champagne Supernova.Strangely this was a favourite back then,and strangely still is. Make sure if you listen this on youtube to hear it from Oasis (What's The Story) Morning Glory? [25th Anniversary Album Playback] where there are visuals for the non video tracks. Nostalgia for the good o'l me,for the good o'l times. 5/5
Not a huge Oasis fan, but 3 stars for Don't Look Back in Anger
Abit too commercial perhaps, but the songs here are just too good for anything but a 5
Not a huge fan, don’t care for the live/demo versions
скучно, душно, не интересно
- I’ve listened to this album uncountable times throughout the years. - Yeah, the Gallaghers kind of suck, but more in a “they’re wankers” way than the moral imperative ways that make me not listen to an artist (at least as far as I know, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!). That said, if they had just formed in 2025, I probably would not have listened to them because of the way they act (and Liam’s recent racist post), but it was the 90s when I was introduced to them. - The album still holds up. I like Liam’s voice (Noel’s is fine, but can’t compete), Noel’s songwriting and chord choices (I don’t skip any songs on here, which is the rarest of the rare), the musicianship is solid, and the melodies are great. The lyrics can be dumb at times, but they’re infinitely singable, so they get a pass.
A couple songs here take me back. Though I don’t love this band overall.
one of their best albums
I really enjoy this album even, after removing the radio hits from consideration. Liam Gallagher's voice is so perfect in its own way. It's the perfect blend of Manchester dialect, cigs and attitude that blends it into something beautiful that couldn't fit the Oasis's sound any better. Some might say Wonderwall is because of radio fatigue, but I don't think there's a single skip on the album. They may have tried a little too hard to be the Beatles of the 21st Century, as a result may have flown a little too close to the sun, but Oasis has some serious chops. Find me a jump suit and a bucket hat to rock ASAP. Top tracks: Some Might Say, She's Electric, Don't Look Back in Anger (s/o Noel), Champagne Supernova
I haven't listened to this album in years, even with all the hype around their reuniting and touring again. I gotta say, those wankers were really onto something. Just a well-made album from start to end. Some great hooks and melodies throughout. Morning Glory still gets a ton of hype to this day and most of it's deserving. Champagne Supernova is goated. And for the record, I'm #TeamLiam Favorite Tracks: Roll With It, Don't Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova
Of the major BritPop acts, Oasis is pretty solidly my least preferred but sometimes the Gallaghers latch onto undeniable hooks. The pop craftsmanship here is real. Even if you've grown bored with Wonderwall, there's still like six other serious hits on this including Champagne Supernova which I've yet to grow bored of. My main grievance with Oasis has held firm over the years which is great hooks but if the Gallaghers write a song under four minutes, thirty seconds, they break out in hives. Their peers were very good at flash in the pan songs interspersed with longer tracks. Oasis songs are all crazy long and their hooks can't all survive the length (like Roll With It which has a great chorus but exhausts me the further it strays) Favorite Tracks: Hello, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova
anyway, here's Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova and Don't Look Back In Anger 5/5
Pretty great album.
Ok. I’ll admit it. This isn’t bad.
I don't get why Oasis is considered great, it's mediocre and boring in my ears
Some catchy and poppy songs and the rest is a bit bland. Wonderwall really is a terrible song
The album that showed North Americans what the fuss was all about. A killer record.
A classic, can't be denied. Their best album in my opinion.
I don't know why it tickles me that Oasis is considered a lad band, or in American words, a bro-ass band and that there was a huge cultural fight about them or Blur. Still think this album is fantastic though.
One of the defining albums of my teenage years, I can’t not give it 5 stars. It holds up well after 30 years.
Wonderwall is so overplayed, I rolled my eyes when this album came up. But, it was really good.
Ok so this album has the same problems as the last oasis album I reviewed for this list (definitely maybe). It’s just so sonically homogeneous and alittle boring. The hits really hold the whole thing together. They are fairly well spaced but sadly there’s only like 4 on the whole album which is literally only 25%. For the album to only be memorable or note worthy a quarter of the time is not good. Honestly I’m starting to think Oasis is possibly one of the most overrated bands, at least of my generation.
Here we are. Final album from Oasis. In a continuing trend for this list the randomiser is dredging up ever-bigger blasts from the past. I listened to Definitely Maybe over 300 albums ago, which is easily the biggest album gap to date. Unlike Definitely Maybe, I've listened to What's the Story before. It helped me to very quickly identify that britpop wasn't for me, though Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger are both pretty decent. I find it entertaining that this album is simultaneously regarded as one of the greatest albums and the single most overrated album by the British public. That's a very characteristically British thing to do, especially when it comes to one of the most avowedly patriotic music genres on the planet. Anyways, I'm keen to give this album another shake. I have a slightly improved opinion of this album now that I've heard it for the third time. The washed-out style isn't as stale as I remember it being, and there are some pretty decent vocal melodies spread across all of the tracks. Admittedly, the album has a limited appeal to me beyond those heavy-hitter tracks, but it's offerings are enough to hold my attention for most of the runtime. "Wonderwall" is a stand-out tune, obviously. There's a pitch-shifted version of this song that I used to listen to when I was going through my mid-teen cringe phase (https://preservetube.com/watch?v=egs941JLQY4). I used to prefer it over the original because I liked the vocal style more. God, I'm so embarassing. Anyways, great track. The vocal style is pretty effective, and I really like how the strings intersect with the earnest-sounding guitars. It's very difficult to capture a feeling of a longing within music, but this song does it very well. Not to downplay Wonderwall, but "Don't Look Back In Anger" completely blows it out of the water. While I'm generally disaffected by the britpop vocal style, it works fantastically here. I really like how it's constantly building while simultaneously being gratifying all the way through. Few songs can tiptoe that line properly. "Champagne Supernova" is a good closer. I like the vulnerable vocals, and the acoustic guitar is yet another good pick. It's been too long since I last rolled a huge, significant, trailblazing album. Feels good to roll another. I won't check the book for reasons why this is in here - I already know it's a big deal. I cosign this inclusion.
Noel was given the gift of a catchy tune and uses it to the fullest extent here and the lazy-cool lyrics instead of sounding cringy are somehow stadium worthy. It's a great album to listen to which has a kind of effortless simplicity that anyone has to reckon with.
Beautiful album one of my favorite 👌🏼
The hits are undeniable hits, but with this listen, it really stood out to me how blatantly they're ripping off the Beatles. I mean I always knew it, but if you squint your ears on a some of these songs, you won't be able to tell the difference.
A stone cold classic. It has so much going for it: songwriting chops, a big, ballsy sound, a variety of styles, and best of all, shedloads of genuine attitude.
An all time classic
Some might say it's got all their best songs on it. Some might say it's unmemorable. I listen to it every few years and agree on both, because to me Oasis is just meh.
Impressive that all of these big songs are on one album. I'm just not a big fan
4 radio bangers on one album???
Classic! Not good enough imo to warrant a 5.
It's shocking how badly this album has aged. Very banal dad rock with no dynamism or power. Almost as bad as Status Quo's boogie sound. Take the song She's Electric, for example.
Despite the Lennon-esque opening bars to Don’t Look Back in Anger, it turns out that Oasis are Slade. This is chugging, turgid stadium rock with the occasional swirling guitar. It has neither bite nor balls, and is one of the few Britpop albums that isn’t even as good as Definitely Maybe. The should have called this one Definitely Average.
wasnt too bad but having said that wasnt too good either. Guitar needed tuning and guitarist needed some lessons.
Might have been just a little too young at the time to appreciate this. I didn't like Oasis, so this was my first time listening to an album of theirs. I was surprised - and impressed -that I wasn't just aware of the songs, but knew them well - lyrics and all. This album obviously had a lot more impact than I remember. Anthemic. Wonderwall is a bit pants and overplayed though, init? I was also impressed at how such a shit singer doesn't become annoying enough to make you turn it off before 50 minutes is up. I actually enjoyed it. I honestly thought Don't Look Back in Anger was the best song on the album though. Noel is definitely the talented one. Good listen, and a lesson for me not to be so dismissive in future!

I'm a Definitely Maybe apologist, and I've heard Wonderwall enough times to last a lifetime, but I do appreciate the evolution and maturation that you can see Oasis went through in the writing/recording of this album
No tämähän on tälläinen hittilevy brittipopin osalta. Ihan kelpoa musaa mutta debyytti on parempi. 3/5
Onhan tämä pätevä poprock-levy. 3/5
Not for me
Really enjoyed this one, some of the songs were a bit long for my taste but I understand that’s the vibe. However it made me zone out a little. Don’t look back in anger will always be amazing
Kiedyś dałbym im max 2. No ale nostalgia dodała im 2 kolejne. Co z kolei automatycznie powoduje że cały Blur na 6? 😃
What a beautiful album. I was guilty of only listening to a couple songs off this record, but now that I listened to the whole thing, I found some awesome gems in there! Glad the brothers patched it up!
AWFUL VOICES. makes me hate it. Great songs... when Noel isn't singing them
Good listening
It’s a classic, of course. Don’t look back in anger is a perfect song, the reincarnation of Hey Jude. Guitar solo in champagne super nova is an all time favourite. However, this record will always remind me of a French trip in grade 7 when the mean girls started being mean to me so it’s a circumstantial 4.
I did not listen to Oasis in my teens because it was decidedly uncool to be an Oasis guy in those days in my area. I legit think some folks thought the band's name was "gay" and therefore, unworthy of attention. Anyway, gay or not, 5/5. Definitely not a "you had to be there" record.
Utterly average pub rock. Not terrible but inexplicable why they are so revered.
This album brings me back to my youth but it is still quite annoying, starting from the famous singles: as many have already noticed Liam Gallagher's singing is a constant whining howl... In comparison Oasis' first album (that I had never bothered to listen to before today) sounds much more enjoyable...
I had some preconceived notions of oasis going into this but they defeated my prejudice and won me over
Fine. I never need to hear wonderwall again, it's a boring song. I like Champagne Supernova. Most of this I wouldn't listen to again
It's honestly incredible how long I managed to avoid this album considering the recent surge in oasis hype. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, maybe something gentler? Wasn't necessarily pleased to find this pouty, noisy boyfest. Consider your yum yucked
I love Oasis, but I still prefer their first record. Also, I don't think I can handle another listen to "Wonderwall."
Still holds up pretty well.
Still a potent blast of Britpop.
I hate that I really enjoy this album ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now this is an album you must hear before you die. An album that produced six singles and sold around 18 million albums. It was the soundtrack for that period in time. You couldn’t go anywhere and not hear an Oasis song on the radio, on MTV, in a store, or in a passing vehicle. You couldn’t go anywhere and not hear how much it seemed the Gallagher brothers, Liam, the lead singer, and Noel, the guitarist/songwriter, hated each other. I’m not sure what the deal was with the Gallagher brothers. Was Liam a little upset that he was essentially regurgitating his brother's words, and he was just looked at as a typical a-hole lead singer? Was Noel upset that his brother, as the frontman, was getting all the attention? All the magazine covers? Did Noel's writing and singing Don’t Look Back in Anger push Liam to the breaking point? Make Liam feel like maybe he wasn’t as important to the band anymore? Were they both just drunk idiots? Whatever the case, their feuding produced great music. It happens like that sometimes. I remember reading that early on in the Who Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend were fighting all the time. Their band was like Oasis, Daltrey the face and voice of the Who, and Townsend the songwriter supplying Daltrey with what to say. Daltrey said he had to realize he was Pete’s voice, and he had to stop fighting Pete and just be the musical instrument for Townsend to put his lyrics out to the masses. Or something like that. I guess maybe Liam never could do that. Or who cares? (What’s the Story) Morning Glory is a beautiful album, and I could gush about how it truly brings that moment in time flooding back to my memory. The carefree days as a teeneager with no worries or cares who just gets to hang out, do nothing, and listen to music all day. I didn’t buy this CD when it came out. Hell, you could hear most of it on the radio. I was still a metalhead, but you couldn’t escape this album. As I got older and music got….um, free-er, I played one of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games, and one of the songs on it was Don’t Look Back in Anger and I was blown away. I truly think it’s one of the best songs from the '90s, maybe of all time. It just really hits me everytime I hear it. Plus, Noel’s singing and guitar work are incredible. I’ve written a bunch of nothing, so I’ll end with this. If you want to hear what the world was listening to in late 1995 through 1996, it’s this album. It’s brilliant and though some may think it’s over-rated, when a song or album has been woven into your memories as a certain period of time, it’s a classic. (What’s the Story)Morning Glory certainly does that for me.
Song many great songs on this album. I know Wonderwall is a meme but it really is a great album
The ultimate 'lager rock' album—brash, bold, and unapologetically British. While Wonderwall has long overstayed its welcome in public consciousness (arguably one of the most overrated songs of the era), the album still packs a punch. Roll With It is undeniably catchy, and Don't Look Back in Anger remains a belting anthem, especially with Noel Gallagher on vocals—he really should have sung more of the record. It’s very much of its time, soaked in mid-90s swagger and lad culture, but its impact on British music and pop culture is undeniable. Whether you love it or loathe it, it’s hard to ignore.
Beleza que Wonderwall é um clássico, mas acho que o álbum não consegue ir além dele. Mas gostei de Don't Look In Anger, She's Electric.
couple of solid songs and the rest feels very same-y
Rightfully the seminal work of Brit pop.
“Wonderwall” — not sure I ever need to listen to that track again. It’s not the record’s fault, but it’s just been overdone. It feels like the album itself was born out of the commercialization of the ’90s. But maybe that’s part of its point - the themes seem to touch on fame, confidence, and that larger-than-life attitude that defined the decade. The record sounds remarkably well-produced for something nearly 30 years old. At the same time, it feels too familiar - too close to the sound of late-’90s and early-2000s rock. But maybe that’s because this album created that sound. It had so much influence that it now feels like everything else. In a way, it’s the musical embodiment of British cockiness. Musically, it feels a bit generic to me, though that might just be because of how much it’s been imitated. Oasis in the ’90s were probably what Linkin Park or Coldplay were in the 2000s - everywhere. The songs have been used so much that it’s hard to hear them fresh anymore. Still, that’s not the record’s fault. It’s probably worth a 4/5 in terms of quality and influence, but for me, it doesn’t convince me to listen to more Oasis, so it's a 3.
oh this is the wonderwall album huh deep rich warm sound. relaxing and pleasant and often throws in interesting musical choices (helicopter, waves, other sounds i cannot immediately recognize) that keep me guessing and wanting more. feels crowdpleasing in a way that isn't sacrificing artistic intent. a dub favorite song: the only one I'll really remember is Wonderwall but Champagne Supernova recency bias is doing some things
While I'm certainly not a fan of Oasis, their music brings me back to a time when I actively hated their music. In retrospect, it's not terrible.
Solid album. The album opens with hit after hit and a big dose of nostalgia. Despite being 30 years old, it holds up incredibly well and made me understand why there's so much excitement around their world tour. I really enjoyed this album and instantly went back for another listen. Stand out tracks: Roll with it, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some May Say & Champagne Supernova!
schon schön, ja
3 or 4, let's say 4
I fucking hate britpop, it‘s a deep hate, a discriminating hate, but there are some exceptions. Pulp‘s Different Class is a masterpiece, and that‘s about it, not a long list, is it? And somehow Rob had the gall to put so many britpop albums on this list, at least we have 7 Costello albums to listen to. The vocals are whiny, the lyrics aren‘t anything to write home about and the band is just generally not that good musically, so you know, basically the usual ordeal for this god forsaken genre called britpop. On top of that, I absolutely DESPISE the discourse around Oasis; you can‘t make just two apparently good albums and be hailed as the second coming of The Beatles (or Bach for that matter), it just doesn‘t work like that. And the whole reunion tour is a farce, just a despicable cash grab. To my surprise it’s somehow en vogue to ironically like Oasis and dress up as one of the lads of bygone days. Ultimately I‘m the actual farce in this equation, because I do actually enjoy this album. To paraphrase a review I read on here: „this is the epitome of lager rock“, and honestly? The world needs its lager rock, but in small doses and preferably prescribed by your health care provider, and that‘s basically the gist of why I‘m not condemning this album to the void of forgetting. 4/5
Lol didn't think i was gonna rate it this high but sounds good
People describing this as "lager rock" as if that's a bad thing
Generational hits intermixed with dramatic sitcom filler music. I just want to know how Liam Gallagher is able to make his voice sound like that! Anyway, here's Wonderwall...
Whiny jangles (and also Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova)
So, I don’t think I’ll ever understand the success of Oasis and how they’re considered such a legendary band. Liam Gallagher literally just whines in every single song, and it’s the most annoying thing ever. That said, if it wasn’t for Liam Gallagher, I’ll admit that the music aspect of Oasis really isn’t that bad.
Adverts have slightly ruined a few Oasis songs. I wonder how much advertisers pay Oasis? This album has many famous songs, like the unfortunately overrated "Wonderwall". The fake-out at the beginning of "Hello" was amusing. Another week has finished. 4 stars for "(What's the Story) Morning Glory".
I've only heard the radio songs from Oasis and now it's kind of clear why. The other songs on this album are pretty forgettable. I accept that Wonderwall is good, but I've heard it more than enough times in my life and am fine never hearing it again. Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova are better than I remember but not so good that I want to listen to them more.
One of the all time greats. Who does not like this album?
A very solid album.
Before listening, I realized that I had never heard Wonderwall before. I was so disappointed when I listened to it. It's not an interesting song at all... why is it so popular? Why is this album popular? It's BORING!
Jeg har ikke egentlig hatt noe imot Oasis, de har bare fremstått som overhypa og med litt basic låtskriving. Ikke noe har forandret seg der, men når jeg faktisk setter meg ned og hører på skiva, er det texturer i nesten hver låt som taler imot at Oasis er et band for massene. Det er på mange måter UKs svar på Nirvana -- to band som ble altfor store på 90-tallet, begge med røtter i undergrunnsrock. Og på et mer personlig niveau: begge mangler en eller annen faktor som tilsynelatende burde være tilstede, men som jeg ikke klarer å finne. Oasis har det i seg, noe de beviser på den lengste låta på skiva: Champagne Supernova. Resten av skiva synes jeg vakler mellom så kult som de tror det er og halvkjipe McCartney-hooks.
Dette er et album hvor omtrent alle låtene kunne endret livet ditt i riktig kontekst. Bare med unntak av Swamp Song 1 og 2 Men plata holder seg godt. Jeg har til og med kommet over det at "Wonderwall" er overspilt, og jeg tror jeg bare har falske minner av at jeg har hørt den på nach fordi det er så vanlig å forbinde den med nach. "Champagne Supernova" er uansett en mye bedre nachlåt. Jeg hørte mye på samlealbumet Stop the clocks da jeg gikk på ungdomsskolen og den låta kunne jeg skru av lyset og ligge i senga med fjernkontrollen til CD-spilleren for å være klar til å starte den på nytt i det den var i ferd med å bli ferdig. "Cast No Shadow" er også flott, bare for å ikke la den komme i skyggen av de to andre låtene. Så har man gitarsoundet til Noel som er helmaks. Selv om de kanskje ikke deler filosofien til shoegazerne så er shoegazegitarene her interessante å høre i en anthem-kontekst slik som tittelsporet. Det er noe med scwhongen her også, en slags coolness som Liam leder an på. Bangeren "Some Might Say" og vibelåta "Hey now!". Så er jo Oasis kjent for å stjele fra sine helter, og man hører sikkert pianoriffet til "Imagine" på "Don't Look Back In Anger" blant annet, men som The Smiths ville de også slippe album med diverse non-album. Og The Masterplan har blant annet "Acquiesce", "Talk Tonight" og "The Masterplan" som jeg mener hører til plata her. Det er nesten en tragedie at de ikke er med, men så er jo The Masterplan et godt album også.
Nå er det pån igjen, nok en gang. Nytt album. Nytt album med en av de største artistene noensinne. Nå er det pån igjen med et nytt album av en av de største artistene noensinne som atpåtill har et dårlig rykte . Jeg husker hvordan det gikk sist, sist gang vi hadde en av de største artistene, som atpåtil har et dårlig rykte på denne lista. Sist gang var det selvfølgelig U2. Det var U2 som var den store artisten med det dårlige ryktet, og nå er det Oasis for tur. Nå skal jeg høre på Oasis, selvom det har et dårlig rykte. Jeg kjenner at jeg faktisk gleder meg litt. Jeg gleda meg sist gang også, og da ble jeg grundig lurt. Jeg trodde kanskje at U2 skulle bli det nye bandet mitt, men så feil kan man ta, og så grundig lurt kan man bli. Det er lett å bli lurt av slike store band. Når millioner av mennesker elsker noe, er det lett å bli lurt til å tro at man kan elske det samme. Når millioner av mennesker elsker noe, er det lett å begynne å tvile på seg selv, eller, tvile på seg selv blir litt feil å si, siden man kommer aldri dit i det hele tatt, for hvis man skal tvile på seg selv, så må man også ta stilling til noe, som må man så begynne å tvile på standpunktet man tok, men når det er så store band, som så mange millioner mennesker elsker, så kommer man aldri dit at man tar stilling, da er det veldig lett å bare bestemme seg på forhånd, uten å tenke over det i det hele tatt, man bare bestemmer seg på forhånd at dette bandet skal jeg elske, på samme måte som alle de millioner, av menneskene elsker det, og det må jeg bare gjøre, for det hadde vært rart, ja, det hadde vært regelrett urimelig om jeg vet bedre enn millionene, men jeg har vist allerede at jeg har blitt lurt før, jeg har tidligere blitt lurt av et band som har blitt elsket av millioner, jeg har tidligere blitt lurt av U2, for U2 er et band som er elsket av millioner, akkuratt som Oasis, og det er ikke bare der likhetene mellom U2 og Oasis er, i tillegg til at begge bandene er elske av millioner, lider også begge bandende, rart nok, av et nokså dårlig rykte, og jeg tror det er derfor denne tvilen begynner inni meg, for jeg hørte nylig på et Neil Young album for aller første gang, og Neil Young er også en person som er elsket av millioner, men i motsetning til U2 og Oasis, så har ikke Neil Young dette dårlige ryktet U2 og Oasis har, så da falt det meg overhode ikke inn at å tvile var noe man skulle gjøre, for jeg har da vitterlig aldri hørt noen tvile på albumene til Neil Young, joda, noen tviler på den rare stemmen hans, og noen tviler nok på den litt naive låtskrivinga hans, men jeg har da vitterlig aldri hørt om at Neil Young skal ha like dårlig rykte som U2 og Oasis, nei det har jeg aldri hørt om, så da må det være noe med dette dårlige ryktet til Oasis som gjør at jeg begynner å tvile, tvile på at det er så bra som millioner av mennesker vil ha det til, tvile på at Neil Ghallager er kul, tvile på at musikken er tøff, den er rocka, det tviler jeg ikke på, men jeg skal være ærlig å si at jeg tviler på at den er tøff, for å være rocka og tøff, det er ikke det samme, det er mange som tror at det er det samme, men det er det ikke, det er virkelig ikke det samme, det er ikke det samme i det hele tatt, for det er mange som er rocka uten å være tøffe, og det er mange som er tøffe uten å være rocka, sånn er det bare, det er bare sånn det er, jeg vet det er mange som ikke vil at det skal være sånn, Yngvar Ugland er enn sånn person, en sånn person som tror at bare fordi man er rocka, så er man tøff, men uansett hvor rocka Yngvar Ugland er, så kommer han aldri til å være tøff, sånn er det bare, det må han bare finne seg i, han fyren der kan aldri bli tøff, ikke slik Oasis er tøffe, hvis de er tøffe da, for de er ihvertfall rocka, men om de er tøffe har jeg ikke bestemt meg for helt enda, og jeg håper egentlig litt at de ikke er det, for akkuratt som med at det er lett å bli lurt når millioner av mennesker elsker noe, så er det også veldig lett å bli lurt av tøffe ting, for da tror man at ting er kulere enn det det egentlig er, bare fordi det er tøft, hvis det hadde vist seg at Oasis ikke var tøffe, bare rocka, så kunne jeg kanskje tatt en mer solid avgjørelse, da kunne jeg tatt en solid avjgørelse på om jeg liker Oasis eller ikke, da kunne jeg tatt en avgjørelse uten å tvile så mye på meg selv, noe som jeg ikke fikk gjort med U2, ikke fordi de var for tøffe, de hadde nesten motsatt problem, de er så sinnsykt lite tøffe at det er vanskelig å ta en solid avgjørelse, jeg var så smertelig klar over hvor ekstremt lite tøffe U2 er, at det nok farget avgjørelsen min noe, men med Oasis vet jeg ikke helt, jeg vet som sagt at de er rocka, man skal ikke langt inn i albumet for å finne ut av det, men om de er tøffe er litt vanskeligere å si, vokalen dems er ofte lite tøff, det er ihvertfall sikkert, men Neil Young sin vokal er jo også veldig skjelden tøff, men han er en tøff fyr åkkesom, så det er kanskje ikke godt nok grunnlag for å si om de er tøffe, og hvis jeg ikke kan si om de er tøffe, så tyder vel det egentlig på at tøffhet ikke er så viktig i avgjørelsen min, og vil ikke det si at vi kanskje har kommet frem til et lite gjennombrudd her, gjør ikke dette det mulig for meg å ta en nogenlunde solid avgjørelse på om dette er bra, joda, jeg kan bli lurt av at millioner av mennesker elsker dette bandet, og joda, jeg kan bli lurt av det dårlige ryktet de paradoksalt nok har, men jeg er ganske sikker på at jeg ikke kommer til å bli lurt av tøffheten dems, verken mot den en eller andre siden, og det er da noe som er vært å ta med seg, jeg har en sjangs til å ta et solid valg, et solid valg mellom å føye meg blant rekkene til de millionene som elsker dette bandet, eller stille meg blandt alle de som tviler, alle de som tviler, på tross av millioner som ikke gjør det, og jeg lurer egentlig på hvordan det går ann, hvordan kan man tvile når millioner av mennesker ikke gjør det, hva får folk til å tvile, når de egentlig ikke har noe grunn til det, jeg vil faktisk gå så langt og si at de har minus grunn til å tvile, hvis det er noe som heter minus grunn da, for millioner av mennesker må vel bety noe, det må vel bety mer enn de som tviler, det må vel bety mer å elske enn å tvile, ihvertfall når millioner av mennesker elsker, men det må være en grunn til at de som tviler tviler, man kan ikke bare motsette seg millioner av mennesker for moro skyld, nei det blir jeg ikke med på, nei ærlig talt, hvem tror du at du er hvis du tviler på millioner av mennesker, bare fordi at de millionene av menneskene elsker noe, hvem er du som tror at du kan tvile bare for å tvile, nei, sånne folk har jeg ikke lyst til å assosieres med, jeg vil ikke være som dem, ærlig talt, hvem gjør sånt, hvem gjør sånt og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler og tviler, hvem gjør sånt, nei sånn vil ikke jeg være, jeg er mer interresert i å være med de som elsker, de har ihvertfall en grunn til å elske, jeg tror ikke på at de som tviler har en grunn til det, det nekter jeg å tro, men vent litt, tar jeg virkelig et solid valg nå, velger jeg basert på solide opplevelser av albumet, eller har jeg allerede tatt en avgjørelse basert på om jeg vil være blant de som elsker, eller de som tviler. Jeg vet ikke om dette er en solid avgjørelse, men jeg likte albumet ganske godt.
Good! Well executed anthem/ arena rock
wonderwall is mid
Surprised! I really liked it. I thought I'd find the voice to whiny after a while, but no. Great songs, great vibes, really, really good.
No difficult second album syndrome here. Is it better than Definitely Maybe? Maybe. The first album was bright, brash, and arguably had more tunes. This is more grown up, considered, but still rocks like a cradle in a strong breeze. And has a lot of tunes. Take your five stars, gents.
It’s damn near a perfect, no skip album. It’s really too bad two assholes made such wonderful music.
Awesome classic. Great hits, but also great supporting songs.
Catchy tunes and solid songwriting. While it’s a great piece of musical history, it’s definitely overplayed. I've reached my limit with Wonderwall years ago.
Better and more consistent than I expected, having only really ever heard the hits. Not one I'm racing back to listen to though. Fav tracks: Hello, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory Saved a song: N RYM: N
DID I MENTION I SAW THEM LIVE
An absolute colossus of an album. Every single track will continue to get radio play until they bury the last member of Generation X.
I understand why people like this, but it's just not interesting to me. I can only handle one or two songs in a row before I get bored.
Banger after banger. I like Britpop and Oasis so maybe there is bias, I however enjoyed the album as a whole and there weren't many tracks that were filler.
I'm just a basic Britpop bitch
Five Star Album. All bangers. You just got to roll with it.
I've been dreading this. 779 albums it took to get here, but get here we did. Not sure which i dislike more, the band, or the fans. The band have some decent tunes though. I'm sure there are some nice fans too, but i've yet to meet one.
I guess it's cool to hate Oasis but this album is sick. It got a ton of hits and the deep cuts I've never heard before sound just as good to me. Fun angsty lyrics and upbeat fun melodies with clear Beatles influence with a more modern sound. Any one that hates this is probably I little stuck up and not very fun at parties.
O segundo disco do Oasis que pego na lista, e felizmente, foi na ordem cronológica. Em minha review anterior eu deliberei à respeito dos meus sentimentos sobre a banda e seu trabalho, até mesmo falei dos meus pensamentos a respeito do embate britpopiano de Blur x Oasis (prefiro os singles do Oasis e os álbuns do Blur). Então estou sendo cauteloso para não me repetir demais aqui. Eu prefiro esse álbum, comparado ao primeiro deles, Definitely Maybe. Acho Morning Glory um disco mais refinado, com menos espaço perdido, e com uma amplitude mais vasta. Os elementos orquestrais complementam bem a produção opressora estilo “parede de som” que a banda é famosa por performar. E acredito que nenhuma canção aqui poderia ser retirada da lista, acho todas fortíssimas, memoráveis, cantaveis e icônicas do período. O disco nunca perde vapor, se inicia fortemente e se encerra mais fortemente ainda. Champagne Supernova deve ser um dos melhores closers da história do Rock. Mas a todo modo, Oasis continua sendo Oasis, e acredito que essa banda é melhor aproveitada em curtas doses. É difícil aguentar 50 minutos seguidos de Gallagher berrando letras Lennonianas no seu ouvido enquanto dezenas de overdubs de guitarras estouram seu tímpano. Parece que estou apontando uma falha no estilo deles, mas não estou! Eu adoro a estética sonora que eles constroem, mas como eu disse, prefiro curtir ela em microdoses. Por isso que em minha review anterior eu mencionei que prefiro Oasis quando o assunto é singles, e Blur quando o assunto é álbuns inteiros, os deles causam menos enxaqueca e te deixam respirar melhor. Mas a dor de cabeça têm cura. Toma um remédio e pronto. E por mais derivativa que seja a música de Oasis no final das contas, seu poder é inigualável, ela te move, e o mais importante de tudo pra mim, ela te marca. São canções verdadeiramente inesquecíveis. 5/5
Was so tempted to give this 4 stars because of wonderwall. lol.
The Gallagers are not my favorite, especially with Liam's voice. However, something about this album hit today. I think the overall melancholy vibe really fit with the atmosphere I'm feeling. Plus, there are no duds on this album. Favorite Songs: Hey Now!, Champagne Supernova
High 4 and play wonderwall
So back
Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger on here. Their by far biggest hits. The rest is also pretty solid
Not a beck fan
Nobody can really slate a band that has sold millions of records and are liked by so many. They must have done something right. For what it is, it’s a well crafted album. I’ve never liked Oasis though, and listening to this hasn’t changed that.
Nice to listen to again, has been a while!
Did not care for this.
dude are you kidding goated album, no notes, perfection if you think wonderwall is overrated and isn't the PERFECT pop song, you are factually incorrect only real fans know that the B-sides are as good or even better than the official tracklist I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Noel Gallagher
Wonderwall! it's been fun to hear the entire album with these songs I'm familiar with
Where did the wonderwall meme come from ?
A classic. Even though wonderwall is a meme, the album is solid.
A nice album, I really like the voice of the lead singer and the also the atmosphere is amazing Fav songs - Roll with It, Don't Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say 4/5
What a sound. Guitar ranges from incredibly powerful to sincere and sweet. Each song has a passion to it. Highly recomend
Look this isn't which music is the best, and which is the worst. It's which I enjoy most, and which do I enjoy the least, and I enjoy this album front to back. Pure nostalgia, '90s good times. Love it. Five stars.
Nice, not really memorable but nice rock
Rating: 3.9 I have an extensive history with The Best Oasis Album. My dad bought it when I was a tween, along with PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me. I nearly fell asleep in the car for PJ, but despite my lack of knowledge of what had been a radio hit in the years prior to my birth, this one was more accessible to me from the start. Infinitely sing-alongable stuff. Almost makes me forget that they are the most Br*tish band of all time which docks a few points.
It's still absolutely bewildering to me that this became huge, and bands like Sugar didn't. It's not bad, it's just all right.
Absolutely monster hits, but wow outside of that I didn't care for anything about this record. I couldn't even tell you anything about it if it didn't involve "Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back In Anger", and "Champagne Supernova"
Ne možeš kontra ovakve kolekcije hitova
So...this is why everyone loves Oasis. I LOVE this album, my favorite on the list so far. I can't even decide my favorite track because they are ALL amazing
A 5 star album that became a big part of my life and helped me get through my mid twenties. There are so many happy memories associated with some of these songs, from listening to a group of primary school leavers rewriting one of the songs to sing how they had got through school with the help of a "Mitreball" to the songs blaring out through coach speakers on a football road trip through Germany. For album highlights, close your eyes and stick a pin in the track listing's.
I surprised myself by really enjoying it! Never listened to much Oasis but should clearly remedy that.
I must be in a good mood this morning
100/100
A pretty solid album, the hits were great! I think k liked most of the acoustic versions on the deluxe edition of the album a lot too. I’d say 4 stars just because of the singles, but it’s between 3 and 4
When I bought this album on CD when it first came out I remember I listen to it a few times ripped the three songs I liked and gave it to my sister. Many years later I feel the same about this album a few great songs but otherwise not worth keeping around.
nooooot in the mood for hard rock fuckkk
It’s not often that a website says, “So, anyways, here’s Wonderwall”. This album is a wonderful listen. Perfectly depicting 90s ennui through poetic lyrics and very catchy tunes. If only the brothers had been able to get it off their own way, who knows what they would have accomplished.
One of the greatest records of the 90s. Timeless classic alt rock band.
What a year for music 1995 was. Radiohead made their mark as the next great alt-rock band with The Bends, Alanis Morissette captured the angst of the era with Jagged Little Pill, and then there was (What's The Story) Morning Glory. I'm not a big enough Oasis fan to justify spending several hundred dollars to see a reunion show, but there's no denying the greatness here. A bunch of midtempo rock and roll ballads that you can belt out after a few pints with friends or alone in your room, and haven't lost their appeal 30 years later. Favorites are Hello, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova, but really anything on here rules. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
It’s a decent album it has some pretty good hits that feel very nostalgic and like British. But I still think they’re very overrated and aren’t as amazing as everyone says.
all your dreams are made when your chained to the mirror and the razor blade today's the day when all the world will see
Die Stimme ist nach wie vor nölig und ich fühle es nicht.
These songs were made to be performed in arenas. Massive production, amazing melodies. This record had a grip on the world those who weren't around at the time will never understand. There are some absolute bangers on here, but it's just not my personal favourite sound profile in the world. Much respect to Oasis, but this gets a 3/5 from me.
30 years later it still gets me. A classic of it's time.
wonderwalling
This record has all the tracks I know from Oasis. It's amazing. Every track in here slaps. There were no misses here. Favourite Track(s): Don't Look Back in Anger, She's Electric, Wonderwall Least Favourite Track(s): Roll With It, Hello
7.8
no skips
Once was my favorite album on earth
Alternative group out of the late 90’s-00’s. Ok music.
another one I have on cd I guess I'll relisten again when I get the time
ha
Very well recorded and produced album. Good to test acoustics and sound signature, there is enough variety and dynamic range to test any frequency needed. This album really highlights why Oasis became the band that they are today.
I just realized that Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova are three separate songs. They're not all the same thing! Or are they? Clearly, I am not a big Oasis fan. Actually listening to this from start to finish didn't change my perception of them. It's meh. Very same-same. Not terrible. Kind of whiney. Not interesting enough to rise above 3 stars.
# Playlist Track - Wonderwall # Notes - Wonderwall must be one of the most over-played songs in the history of over played songs. But it is pretty good. And it was a significant part of my teenage years. - This is a pretty good album. Carries some nostalgia, but I reckon it aged well and I would recommend it even for those way younger than me.
The music of my generation.
Not my favorite Oasis album but still very good. It definitely flows together great and is great pop songwriting. I kind of wish it was less of a wall of sound but I guess that's what they're going for with the whole '60s/Stone Roses influence?
Complicated feelings on this one. In the 90s I was very much Team Blur. I didn't appreciate Oasis or what they were putting out. Listening to this 30 years on and with my son going to see them live and wearing their t shirts, I feel I need to reappraise. I still don't like Liam's whiny vocal style. But this is a really solid album. So many tracks were released as singles. So many have gone on to become iconic. Gotta hand it to them, I prefer this to The Great Escape these days.
classic. 90s. great.
I knew and already liked most of these. Absolutely solid album. Imagine this would be pretty special to hear live.
Hate the voice, first song gives Gary glitter a writing credit. Lyrics are rubbish. Mixed loud as sin. However, It's an incredibly strong collection of anthems, even if I don't like them. There are some songs on here which I don't know that don't irritate me - I guess it's a victim of being overplayed to death
The last place I worked had a strict no Oasis or Sublime rule. I'm listening but I am not happy about it. Two tracks in and we were right to ban Oasis.
Wonderwall sucks
I didn’t want to like this but I rather did
I'm having a hard time talking myself into giving this less than a 4 for the sheer volume of hits. I like how the album was arranged, and while I'm not a huge Oasis fan on the whole, I'm left feeling like I do gotta hand it to them
In my head canon all of the conflict between the Gallagher brothers comes down to one of them wanting that waily harmonica on this album and the other one didn’t. It’s an otherwise no skips album
I grew up on "80's, 90's, and today" radio so embarrassingly, i have a fondness here. I really do love Don't Look Back in Anger tho. 3.5
I really enjoy "Don't Look Back in Anger" but I really don't enjoy "Wonderwall" so they kind of cancel out and bring this to "fine, enjoyable"
Love this album. Proper britpop
Flashback to my university days. Love this album!
A pretty solid album with a couple of standout tracks.
Can't deny this is a great album, even if it's not really what I'm into
74/1089 i quite enjoyed listening through this project and realising that i already know/have heard every other song on it. it helps that the music is good too of course. the album is solid throughout and even with so many hits, no track feels subpar 76/100 faves: Don’t Look Back I. Anger, Hey Now, Swamp Song (both), Morning Glory
Oasis is still fine.
4, but only because it has literally the three best Oasis songs all on this album. Many of the other tracks miss for me and sound like generic 90s stuff.
Okayish album, but I find Oasis too mellow and soft.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall. (Feels like it is the strongest of the first 3 songs, Hello and Roll With it sort of meld into each other) Sometimes I enjoy yell/singing, but so far I feel more irritated with the style than moved by it. I could see how it could be cathartic for someone to sing along to these songs in a crowd, but beyond that? Meh. The highs are high, and the lows are pretty mediocre. The album gets better the deeper you get into it - by the time you hit the eponymous track, it's easier to digest what the album is trying to say. Not sure if it is as timeless as many would say - but it adds to the charm of the album. Feels like it's one of those "you had to be there" albums. The impact is lost on me as the era it existed in is unfamiliar to me. I saw another review describe this as "competent but boring." I have to agree. Production is solid, and is able to conjure up an image of the mid-90s UK rock scene, but just doesn't move me.
Solid album, waste of a band
My favorite album of all time. It’s the best start to finish. If I was stranded on an island with only one album to listen to, it would be this one.
Just listened to this a month or so ago, but went ahead and listened again. A couple of the biggest singles from the 90s on here. 4/5.
God, I wondered when this would crop up. The ongoing appeal of Oasis' stodgy, turgid, plod-rock is mystifying. Some of the tunes can snare you but this just distracts from the fact that none of the lyrics make any sense at all. This is tedious, lowest-common-denominator sludge for piss-hurling thugs. Liam Gallagher bought me a pint once but I've never spent a single penny on Oasis. This puts me up on the deal, and that's the only good thing I can say about them.
Off the cuff remark: is it familiarity that breeds contempt? A begrudging nod to Roll With It before I nodded off.
Yeah, it’s pretty basic at times. A bit generic with lots of pastiche. But, fuck me, it’s a really good album. Really good. So, I'm basic, sure. Hell, I still think Status Quo's Piledriver album from 1972 is well worth a listen. There's something to be said for basic. Especially when it produces an album full of absolute bangers like this does. I don't care if this is Oasis. I don't care about the drama, the fights, the Brit Pop battles, the ticket prices. This is a really fucking good album. My wife seems to know every word of it. Neither of us are Oasis fans. It didn't even cross our minds to get in the queues for tickets. But this is an easy 5 stars.
Although there are a couple standouts on this LP (Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova) I just find most of it a difficult listen. The lyrics as well as the vocals seem forced and without passion. I struggled to like Oasis back in the 90s, and I don't feel the test of time as proven my original reaction to be any different.
Their second album. Rock / Brit Pop / Indie. There were a couple of fucking good sunmers in England in the 90s. 1995 was one of them. Sunshine, East and Central London was my hangout, little bit of Cornwall thrown in. This album was everywhere. Punchy sing a long anthems throughout. From Hello to Don't Look Back In Anger to Cast No Shadow to Champagne Supernova and all in-between. My mates and I, road trips, gigs, pubs, chasing girls, no cares in the world and waking up feeling that anything was possible. Man, I had a great fucking summer that year ! Also where the album cover was photographed there was a pub called The Green Man where we would often meet for beers.
