Reviews (page 7 of 15)
I really wouldn't consider myself an Oasis fan, but it's got to be said that this album is gigantic. The amount of brilliant anthems on this thing, I really enjoyed listening to this all the way through. That being said, the lyrics are really shoddy a lot of the time. Special shout-out to Champagne Supernova as the perfect closing track. Favourites: Don't Look Back In Anger She's Electric Champagne Supernova
Pretty great album.
i really loved this album and i sort of knew i would going into it from only hearing some of oasis’s stuff. anyway i really liked “roll with it” and it immediately stood out to me because it gave me a similar feeling to jimmy eat world- the middle, which is obviously awesome and gave me the feeling like ok yeah everything’s going to be fine especially me being a teen this was a fun song. Another one that stood out was “don’t look back in anger” for obvious reasons and it deserves its popularity. last ones ill mention are “some might say” and “champagne supernova” just liked the feeling it brought me :))) i loved this album and love oasis.
I would rate this album a 4.5. Great tunes, very fun, a few songs sound a bit repetetive but nothing too bad. I LOVE don't look back in anger
...and here it is. Is this where Britpop peaked? Melodic rock ballads galore, the songwriting and composition from Oasis takes large strides here in only their second studio album. Everyone knows the big hits, but the album is tied together with a sort of anthemic theme all throughout, helped along by more of a focus on using string arrangements. With an album and group of this stature though, it tends to veer into "overrated" territory for some. I can kind of see that, I mean I don't think I'd call this album in particular a perfect one. The highs are certainly high, but I felt that there was a tad of what some would consider "filler" here. Still Oasis's best album for sure.
Annoyingly good. Don’t like the people.
It’s difficult to get over how annoying the personalities are, which is interesting, and what actually is a Wonderwall? But, the guitar shreds and many of the best tracks were not the singles/classics, which may just be over saturation rearing its head.
Oikein mukava levy. Wonderwallin viimeisimmästä kuuntelukerrastakin sen verta pitkään ettei se ärsyttäny.
8.5/10
Ich habe von Oasis immer nur "gossip" gelesen, und wenn Wonderwall im Radio lief schnell umgeschaltet. Interessant für mich, einmal das ganze Album zu hören. Tja, "catchy" trifft es für mich ganz gut. Bin heute in Geberlaune.
I enjoyed this more than I remembered enjoying it years ago. I will say the good tracks a good, but the other ones are not so great. Given the state of world affairs lately, slipping into a champagne supernova sounds rather appealing.
Morning Glory, Indeed This album is a proper joy from start to finish. Catchy hooks, riffs that stick with you, and some of the most iconic tracks of the ’90s. It’s fun, loud in all the right ways, and it’s easy to see why it’s still such a celebrated classic. Some songs just hang around in your head long after, and in the best way. Everything feels confident and full of personality, from the big anthems to the quieter moments. It’s the kind of album you can sit back and play all the way through without skipping a track. I’d give it 4 out of 5. Not perfect, but consistently brilliant. A proper classic and a joy to listen to from start to finish.
As stadium rock goes, it's hard to beat this. It's big, it's loud, it's catchy, it's got a ballad or two, it's got just enough grit to keep it "authentic". Is it better than Definitely, Maybe? Definitely not, but Oasis always wanted to go mainstream and this is one of the better mainstream rock records you'll ever get. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
An awesome album packed to the brim with hit after hit. I hope the two brothers don't fall of favour and continue to make genre defining pieces of work! Favourite Track - Morning Glory
I need to stop passing this album at the record store, classic britpop.
can't believe Noah doesn't know wonderwall
7/10 Favorite: Don’t Look Back In Anger
Have listened to it. Don't look back in anger and Champagne Supernova are great.
A refreshing album, really got me to understand Oasis’ impact in music
YES! Certainly I'm not the biggest fan of Oasis, but they were my whole personality on my early 20s, specifically this album. "Wonderwall" is my favorite song of all times (quite basic bitch, don't care) and I have an interesting story about how I found it: I heard it for the first time from Naruto AMV on youtube when I was like 11 maybe, but I didn't knew English then so paying attention to phrases and googleing wasn't a possibility, and it wasn't until I was 15 that my English teacher made us watch a documentary of the life in the UK and they talked about Oasis so I could (finally) know the name of that song. Anyway, I really good album, a lot of nostalgia and good memories <3 Also finishing with Champagne Supernova *chef kiss*.
1995. Anyway, here's Wonderwall! This is a really enjoyable album throughout. Multiple big hits that I recognize that sound corny because of the memes but are actually really pleasant.
Good album. It's useful for anyone who wants to start listening to the band.
Great driving music. Almost atmospheric. Of course “Wonderwall” is their smash hit. Is every song kind of the same?
7/10
Tämä levy löytyy omasta hyllystä. Tämä hittilevy onkin ainoa, minkä bändiltä omistan. Levy on täynnä klassikoita. Tulee kuunneltua silloin tällöin.
hmm, closet Oasis fan all these years....
Great bit of Brit rock, wonder wall and don't look back in anger are both classics, there were some very good parts that I enjoyed in this album,Overall very good.
I had definitely maybe yesterday and was bored but I liked this album is WAYYYYY more. Still dad rock which is just not my favorite genre. Laughed out loud when I saw I was listening to wonderwall today. Favorite song: don’t look back in anger
yeah fire lowkey…. been recently taking trips on the oasis bus, like i get it (they’re no beatles, but they got some bangers) i think this album has my faves of their music i know she’s electric bangs (kinda a zolas shade so that’s always some extra points for me) don’t look back in anger a classic cast no shadow and some might say we’re newer to me but caught my ear
I was fully prepared to come at this album with a 1 or a 2 due to how annoying I find wonderwall and champagne supernova in a vacuum. But I'll be damned if this is one of those cases where everything sounds more palatable in the context of the album. Good instrumental layering, pretty good variety, and while I find the vocals unappealing they weren't a deal breaker. 3.5/5 -> 4/5
ugh... I don't like Oasis *but* how can anyone deny the quality of a band and album that had so many hits, including Wonderwall? Everyone likes to shit on Wonderwall now, but not that many bands have songs that transcend time, reach meme level, become so famous that end up being a caricature of themselves. So, even though I won't add this to my replay list, it deserves 4 stars.
Morning glory is solid rock album, with really good songwriting. Maybe this doesn't sound as fresh as it did in the mid 90's, but it's a damn good britpop record!
Good album, solid oasis record
Normally this would just get a 3, this album is OK. BUT based on impact to the music industry it gets a bump
Amo a los gallagher tal vez de una manera cero pensada pero no me importa porque este album me crió
Really great listen. Awesome flow to the album, heard some songs I really needed to hear. Loved the creative lyrics. Loved "Cast No Shadow" and "She's Electric."
7/10
8/10 – Very Good
Pretty solid album.
Dope
🥇she’s electric 🥈don’t look back in anger 🥉morning glory HM: roll with it, wonderwall, hey now, some might say, champagne supernova
Pre-listen: Eh. These songs are undeniable, timeless songwriting classics really. But not looking forward to listening quite as much as others so far as I’m just so familiar with Oasis at this point. But let’s see how we go… Post listen: Never listened cover to cover. Really is a great album. A lot more weight to it when listened in full. The ballads being around the middle surprised me, and they felt more heartfelt than I ever remembered them when in full context. Wall to wall memorable, gotta say it’s no wonder it’s seen so influential.
Very fun and enjoyable
4.5
It gets a 4 out of me and I still don't want to listen to it. That's the magic of Oasis.
Solid.
I got this album for my brother who I do not speak to for Christmas, because I think I'm real funny. Some little sibling-isms never go away. Besides that Britpop is a rough subgenere for me because I am an American asshole and think it all sort of sounds the same. It really has to knock my threadbare socks off in order to break through the sludge. I however, am a sucker for Wonderwall. I would sacrifice my newborn to hear Don't Look Back in Anger live. (What's the Story) Morning Glory has not knocked off my socks entirely, like they're still kind of on, but I can't help but agree that this album is, in a way, gigantic. It's loud it's rough, and this way be biased by my knowledge of Noel and Liam's forever beef, but it seems heavy with unspoken tension. It makes me want a cigarette real bad, which is a compliment in this case. 8.5/10
fun, hummable, catchy songs. not terribly deep or contemplative.
I hated this album, but had never actually listened to it. Now, let me explain: Wonderwall. It was everywhere. And sadly, most cover bands/singers picked it up and put it in their repertoire in the early-mid 00s in New Zealand. I couldn't have told you another song. Then, I joined a band with a guy who was obsessed with the band. I bought the first two albums. Enjoyed them. I did. While there are some great songs, 'Champagne Supernova', 'Dont look back in Anger', and 'Whats the Story...' There is still a lot of stuff that is a bit average. Positive, yes. Catchy, yes. But can you have an album that has a song called 'Hello' and 'Hey Now'... Look, I'd go to the concert, I'd sing a long, but in my heart it's not 5 stars. 4 stars (a high 4!)
It's pretty amazing that I've heard some of these songs roughly a quadrillion times and still enjoy them (I'm looking at you Wonderwall). This coming on the heels of Coldplay is a little enlightening. They are sort of a similar sub-genre, but Oasis is so much more enjoyable. I don't think there was a single song on this album that I didn't enjoy. It's never going to be my favorite album, but its incredibly solid all the way through with pretty high highs.
03/02/2026 Its a good album, but not worthy of 5 stars because it is quite samey and I've heard them all played before! Spotify listeners: 27.6 million
Good songs, but not quite a five for me
I came in with Live Forever and then only knew about these guys as a pair of idiots. But this became my go-to study album in the fall of 1996 and eventually something all of my indie rock/hardcore crew would whisper to each other about enjoying, much as with Pinkerton. It mostly holds up for me, despite the abysmal lyrics and backwards-extending-fallout from Be Here Now and the subsequent decades of lacklustre bullshit. What holds up for me? The guitars! It’s such a gigantic sound, as novel as anything Kevin Shields accomplished. I’ll still always be a Blur head but I won’t turn Morning Glory down.
A record and a band that's grown on me over the last 30 years. Would have been a 2 in 1996.
You can say it's overplayed, you can say it's overrated, but it's such a good album - and it did not get old!
Amazing album we already know this
Kordan klarte æ å aldri helt havne i britpopbobla da æ va i målgruppa og cirka riktig alder og alt det der? Kæm vet, men det e jo litt morsomt å høre på så mye av det her for første gang nu.
If 4.5 was an option this would be it.
Finally some good britpop.....pretty solid all around, radio hits still hold up after all these years. 4.5
So anyway, here's Wonderwall.
There are a couple of enormous songs on this album - I think 'Cast No Shadow' is an all-timer. 'DLBIA' is quality', 'Morning Glory' and 'Champagne Supernova have both grown on me too'. Considering the cultural impact this album had, I think a 4 is fair
В целом я довольна альбом, он конечно не сильно поразил меня, но пару песен в свой основной плейлист я добавила
Classic
I've gone back and forth on Oasis, not if they're good or not, but if I 'get it'. When I listen to this album, I come away saying I do get it. It might not be for me (although currently it is), but it's easy to understand their importance and meteoric rise to superstardom after this record.
The fact that Oasis are still so beloved despite releasing nothing but shite for their final FIVE albums is testament to how beloved and fantastic their first two are. Huge, dumb, loveable choons and lightning in a bottle chemistry and charisma and chutzpah to pull them off
peak britpop. wonderwall overrated and overplayed, champagne supernova a rightful classic
good reminder that Oasis have made excellent music outside of Wonderwall
love oasis!!
Two great songs (wonderwall, anger) are to few to make this record really great. I also don’t like the guitar wall of sound.
Best - don’t look back in anger Worst - cast no shadow
Just pretty damn good.
4.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detta albumet hade en stor betydelse i min ungdom, även om debuten förmodligen betydde ännu mer för hur jag jag började söka efter ny musik. Tycker inte detta albumet är lika fantastiskt längre, har trots allt spelats många gånger så suget att lyssna på det är inte så starkt. Det är trots allt ett album fullt med riktigt starka låtar.
Huge improvement over their debut. It helped to have them back to back for my listening education. Finally finding a sound that stands out. Some great hits. And the songs I wasn’t familiar with all still have a charm. Wonderwall Don’t Look Back in Anger She’s Electric Morning Glory Champagne Supernova
Voice is a tad annoying Classic DLBIA Hey Now! Bit repetitive Wish they expanded on The Swamp Song V1 Songs drag a little bit She's Electric - tf are these lyrics Quite like Morning Glory - nice solo Solid, catchy, and consistent but a got a little repetitive and dragged on at parts 7.8/10
Any album that contains 3 mega hits deserves to be on this list. Even if the rest of the album is average at best.
I feel a lot younger when i listen to this Album.
Really solid album, so many hits, great melodies. Somehow I always feel like I should like oasis more than I actually do though. Solid album, but don’t feel like going back and listening again.
Maybe could be a 4.
Great album. Love the guitars. They have mastered them. Iconic album ofcourse. Fucking legends
I am beginning to understand why people like oasis
An album with 2 great songs (Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger), but there are some mid filler tracks. I would rate it at 3.5 stars, but there's not that option
By themselves, “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” get you to four stars. And nothing else on the album jeopardizes that. A load of fun!
Favourite Track: She's Electric Lots of tracks that have been played to death
Good album, anyway here's wonderwall
This album occupies an interesting space in pop discourse: is it a masterpiece, or one of the most overrated records of all time? In reality, it’s probably a bit of both (or maybe a bit of neither?). I like it a lot. I’d only heard “Champagne Supernova” and, of course, “Wonderwall” before, and as a huge fan of Pulp, I wasn’t willing to have Oasis take the number one place in my Britpop Hall of Fame—but the album exceeded my expectations, despite (or because of?) its imperfections. So where does that place it in the overrated-to-masterpiece spectrum? I think the answer is this: it’s a spectrum that doesn’t work, a false dichotomy. The album can be both. I vacillated between giving it a 4 or 5, but when I think of the other albums I’ve given 5 to, this one just doesn’t hold up in the same way.
Rating: 8/10 Favourite: don’t look back in anger
Hello - 4/5 Roll With It - 4.5/5 Wonderwall - 3.5/5 Don't Look Back In Anger - 5/5 Hey Now - 3.5/5 The Swamp Song - Version 1 - 3/5 Some Might Say - 3/5 Cast No Shadow - 3/5 She's Electric - 4/5 Morning Glory - 4.5/5 The Swamp Song - Version 2 - 2.5/5 Champagne Supernova - 3.5/5
I've become more critical of Oasis as a band and the Gallagher brothers as complete dickheads the older I've gotten but this 'classic' (*retches in Gen X*) was released the year I turned 16 and no amount of realisation of mediocrity can trump pure skin-blistering nostalgia so this gets a 4.5. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 is because I preferred 'Definitely Maybe' and it would be unfair to put this album, as much as it had me dancing round the kitchen like I was back at Kaleidescope or Popscene again, on a level footing with that one.
Another Monster Album. These lads had it all, so close to the peak. Too bad about the sibling angst. Could been contenders. They've had success apart, and still sell out stadiums when reunited, barking out old anthems with aging gusto. The lyrics are good, the music great. The vocals are pure nasal, blowing long and loud. Kills that perfect score.
Arguably the peak of Britpop, full of big, anthemic choruses and highly successful singles. It's not my favorite Oasis album but its for sure very good. However, the mastering is terrible. The whole "wall of sound" of it all really leaves a lot to be desired.
really good, multiple new sings found
I can appreciate this being a banger of an album hit it lacks something, maybe it’s because Noel Gallagher is a City Fan.
Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Hey Now!
For the past two years or so I've been a big kick of listening to live albums of bands I like, particularly from the 90s. The ones that have gotten the most spins, if I had to reckon, are R.E.M. (my favorite band of all time), Soundgarden, and Oasis. I didn't spring for the bajillion-dollar Gallagher Brothers Pay For Their Divorces Tour, but I kinda wish I had. Those live recordings sort of lay bare how weird a term Britpop is. Oasis is not a pop group, they are a capital-R Rock Band. I like the live versions of their various hits and deep tracks because they let loose more, pick up the tempo, and allow both brothers to shine. Liam's voice takes on more of a fry from years of smoking and drinking, Noel really lets it rip on the outros. Don't get me wrong, this record sounds great, but it's too sleek, too produced, almost too pop. But that's a comparative quibble. This is absolutely a worthy entrant on the list. Even the weakest tracks ("Hey Now!" "Cast No Shadow" "She's Electric") are quite good, and everything else is S-Tier stuff. 4 stars, but 5 out of 5 pints of room-temperature lager.
Sooooooooo Sally can wait
I really dislike Oasis, but love this album. Bit tired of Wonderwall (not their fault, but every person who spent 3 minutes learning it on guitar and decides they could busk their way to salvation) but otherwise just a great album. Such a shame Liam Gallagher is... well just is. How he hasn't suffocated yet with his head up his ass is a crime against humanity.
does it mean i'm old if I call this a classic? god damnit...
I like this but prefer Definitely Maybe.
Bangers
Some rockers but sounds tired
my zoomer ass's first time listening to this and you know what not bad !! my fav is "roll with it"
Overall Rating - 3.83/5 (7.67/10). Excellent album. Straddles the line between Alternative and Traditional rock, excellent musicianship, solid lyrics, good composition.
My favorite album
Favorite Track: Champagne Supernova
Turns out I knew more of these songs than I thought based on the titles. Going into this I expected it to be mostly acoustic for some reason- by virtue of just hearing Wonderwall everywhere I guess. But even Wonderwall is more upbeat than I thought, it felt full, that's how you do an acoustic ballad. Highlights: Don't Look Back in Anger Hey Now! She's Electric Wonderwall Champagne Supernova
As for this genre I like Blur more than Oasis but still was a nice album. I particularly liked Roll With It and the title track the best.
Already a big fan of Oasis. I had only ever heard Wonderwall and Supernova. The rest of the songs felt like walking through a familiar feeling. Felt like home.
Roll with it makes me want to defenestrate myself
The first songs utterly shocked me with how beatles-esque it sounds, I legit thought it was John Lennon singing lead on "Hello" for a slight moment. I've always heard about how Oasis incorporates Beatles elements, and I always like 'ehhh, sure.' But listening to this album shows it straight to me with how much they were influenced by that band. All of the songs on the album sound like they could all be singles (except the swamp song songs,) which is crazy I'm not sure if I've heard an album like that before, but now I have if I haven't. The production is quite busy and cloudy which seems a popular characteristic of britpop albums. Highlight Song/s: "Hello", "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Pretty easy listening song
Nostalgic. Nice album. I know most of the songs, I think. Haven't heard it in quite a while. It's pleasant.
A very solid album from Oasis
God britpop. Synes Oasis er fire. Diskuterede engang med en i en pladeshop om, hvorfor det var hun ikke kunne lide Oasis. Hun kunne meget bedre lide pulp og suede fordi det er mere sofistikeret. Det er sgu også fair nok, men hun gatekeepede det godt nok meget synes jeg. Vi endte med at være fine nok venner.
It’s Oasis and it’s good
An album I really enjoyed when it came out. A good balance of smooth sounding pop with a rougher rock edge. Obvious Beatles influence. I would be happy to have a copy of this in my record collection.
After the years, after the memification of Wonderwall, after the cocaine albums that followed, this remains my favourite Oasis album. Opener Hello is probably the most awkward track on here, due to the borrowing of the Gary Glitter song. The wall of sound effect is to the fore here, with the three guitars giving the songs a huge sense of space and scale, and the production is able to capture a band going into the stratosphere. Wonderwall is a cliche nowadays, but there's a reason everyone knows how to play it - Simple, straightforward, and full of emotion. A great song ruined by over exposure. My friend asked me if this is Oasis' best album. I said "Maybe..."
An epic, defining & original sound of the mid 90's 5 singles from the album in the UK top 2 reads more like a "Best Of" than a single album
брит-поп це щось, що хочеться слухати весною. цей альбом це буквально квінтесенція весняного настрою - наче відчуваєш на собі перші теплі промінці і відчуваєш bitter-sweet енергію. дуже надихає. fav songs: Champagne Supernova, Some might say, She's electric
Probably a 5 at full volume but my brother was asleep in the other room.
Enjoyed this way more than I expected - there were other tracks outside of Wonderwall that held up! Overall, fun britpop
Listening to this for fun is great - it rocks, it jangles, it moves along nicely and has Don't Look Back in Anger. But when you review it critically, it starts to fall apart - it's way too repetitive, the vocals are grating and annoying at times, and the lyrics are really lackluster and sounds like a try hard high schooler wrote them. But I choose to not listen critically and just accept it for what it is, which is a nice listen occasionally
Awesome. The fact that wonderwall is overplayed doesn't take away from the fact that this is just really good '90s rock. I'm very much on board.
I can see why this band is polarizing. The hits are good, but everything else is kind of meh. 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.
I mean, there are some classics in here
Very good , favorit is wonderwall and hello
What a strong start to this journey of mine! This album is phenomenal, and so is Oasis. I’ve listened to the album plenty of times before, so it was nice to have that familiarity. I quite enjoyed the noises approaching my ears, and this carefully crafted work of art was mesmerizing.
Я слушал его много-много раз. Иронично, что моя любовь к брит-попу началась с японской группы The Pillows!. И до сих пор, слушая Oasis, как хрестоматийный пример, я вспоминаю совсем другое, но речь не об этом. К сожалению, с классикой (в области популярной музыки) нередко происходит ужасное: она становится настолько расхожей, что превращается в штамп, и лучшее слово, что подходит для её описания, это слово generic. Неизбежно, в таком случае, усложнение восприятия, но это просто стало такой базой, что проникло повсюду. Иногда даже может затошнить от того, насколько это пресная и скучная хуйня, насколько оно всё заезжено, и тогда приходится себя одёргивать: "пойми, раньше этого просто не существовало". Как не было комедии до Чаплина и Китона, так и не было, для массового слушателя, брит-попа до Oasis. Я не хочу умалять заслуг предыдущего альбома группы, или говорить, что Parklife от Blur хуже (73 вопроса от Vogue только подтверждают, что ничуть не хуже), но это феномен. Да, консьюмеристский, да, породивший волну подражаний и бессмысленных баллад, но кто-то же должен был? Итог: 4 из 5. Мне нравится, пусть и немного, без причины, стыдно.
Really liked this album. Indeed, it's a classic. Many parts feel straight out of a movie and the entire thing flows together very nicely. I give it a 4 out of 5 just because a lot of the album is not something I would listen to regularly; a little bit too "loud," and several verses felt repetitive, but it's definitely unique and worthy of a spot on your list.
GOATED FIRST ALBUM!! Oasis might just be my childhood as a sound. Top 3: 1. Champagne Supernova 2. Don’t Look Back In Anger 3. Wonderwall
This is the album that gave men the confidence to pick up a guitar at a house party when no one asked.
Good album, liked it. Cant really find why though. It was good quality in my opinion but i cant find what the "it" factor is with oasis. Its good music, but nothing stands out to me as thats why i like it. Clasics like wonderwall always hit in a way but still. Overall liked the album
An absolute classic album, and one that holds up to this time. Despite being meer on very hard, one cannot say that wonderwall is actually a bad song. It does pop rock just how it should be. Oasis remains one of the greatest bands of all time for a reason.
Really good album. Knew wonderwall, don't look back in anger, and champagne supernova.
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
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.
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
Not as good as debut but still very good
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

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.
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
Added the whole entire thing to my playlist. Love Oasis down <3. Definitely want to explore more music like this. Great listening experience
Classic album
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
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
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.
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
Excellent album with quite a few bangers on it. Never get tired of listening to Wanderwall.
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
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.
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
Enjoyed it. Didn't love it.
"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.
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”
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.
6.5/10
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.
one of their best albums
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
Pretty great album.
Ok. I’ll admit it. This isn’t bad.
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.
Wonderwall is so overplayed, I rolled my eyes when this album came up. But, it was really good.
Classic! Not good enough imo to warrant a 5.
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
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? 😃
Good listening
I had some preconceived notions of oasis going into this but they defeated my prejudice and won me over
Still holds up pretty well.
Still a potent blast of Britpop.
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.
Rightfully the seminal work of Brit pop.
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
schon schön, ja
3 or 4, let's say 4
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...
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".
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Wonderwall! it's been fun to hear the entire album with these songs I'm familiar with
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
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.
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
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
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.
wonderwalling
7.8
another one I have on cd I guess I'll relisten again when I get the time
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.
# 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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Solid album, waste of a band
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.
Good Brit pop. Not sure why it’s so huge but the songs are generally good
90s Banger 4/5
Great album, not perfect- but so many classics. Faves: wonderwall, don’t look back in anger, champagne supernova
I'm both deeply surprised and happy to know that Wonderwall is not the only good song on this album. The guitars feel really overwhelming in a way that only 90s British ecstasy addicts could do for some reason. That and the vocals make the album uniquely Oasis while still sounding like the stuff that inspired it. Maybe it's the fact that I haven't listened to the radio in a pretty long time, but I think this album was one of the bigger surprises so far from this list. I am now contractually obligated to say "anyways, here's Wonderwall," so anyways, here's Wonderwall.
They're okay. I know people have been losing their minds seeing them tour
WONDERWALL! no but seriously this is a really good album. champagne supernova absolutely FUCKS. 8/10
I thought this was a little boring on first listen but I did go back and end up listening to the album all the way through a second time and really enjoyed it. Some obvious bangers on here and I loved the variety of moods.
Was my favourite Oasis album back in the day, but I don't think it's aged quite as well as the debut. I guess Gary Glitter references will do that. Still, the title track might yet remain my favourite Oasis track.
Super cool. 3. Good 3 tho. Champagne Supernova omg! Maybe 4.
I really do fw these guys. Is that weird? Who else fw these guys?
This second LP from this band is a solid group of songs with a big hit single in Wonderwall. A couple other good cuts too in Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova. I like the lead singers voice.
It was in everyone's car and it's a classic album for me
Waar Blur de 'modern age Kinks' is, is Oasis de 'modern age Beatles'. Veel meer dan op hun debuut zie je dat de songwriting en muzikaliteit van Noel leunt naar Paul McCartney. Het resultaat is een bij vlagen melodieuzer en catchier album dan 'Definitely Maybe'. Maar in ruil daarvoor levert het wel in op karakter, waar het echt de attitude van een 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' of een 'Supersonic' mist. Wat heet, het is eigenlijk best wel een beetje slap hier en daar. Mijn voorkeur gaat dan ook uit naar hun debuutwerk, al kan ik niet ontkennen dat dit ook gewoon een grootse popplaat is. 8/10 Highlights: Roll With It Don't Look Back In Anger Champagne Supernova
Definitely Maybe kreeg lachend 5 sterren. Die plaat heeft de rauwheid en kwaliteit. Morning Glory is wat dat betreft net een tikje minder. Hier is het vooral nostalgie en de iconische status van de band dat naar voren komt. Morning Glory beklom de hoogste treden van de Britse popcultuur. Voor eens en altijd afgerekend met de Battle met Blur werden er echt dikke hits op de mat gelegd. Maar de initiële kritieken waren helemaal niet zo lovend. Dat vind ik altijd wel mooi. Popcultuur versus beoordeling op pure kwaliteit. Het is zo vet om van een band als Oasis te houden. Dat zie je ook nu weer bij hun reünie. Dat effect piekte bij Morning Glory. Maar puur op kwaliteit, waar het hier toch ook gaat, doet deze wat onder voor het debuut. 8/10 Highlights Don't look back in anger Some might say Champagne supernova
Pretty good. The hits are big, and the unknowns are still good. I got into Heathen Chemistry and never listened to this one, but it was good to go back to oasis.
--Hello...good opener. how much you like Oasis is probably dependent on your tolerance for the signature Liam nasal snarl. I like it. for now --Roll With It...generic 60s throwback --Wonderwall...overplayed to death by every dude on a college campus with an acoustic guitar but for a good reason: it's a legitimately great track. the lyrics get a little sentimental, but it's counterbalanced by the Mellotron/cello and Liam's untrained vocals --Don't Look Back in Anger...we get it, guys, you like the Beatles. It's a solid hit. great sing-along chorus. Noel's voice adds a different dimension to the group --Hey Now...plodding and overlong --The Swamp Song (V1)...rock interlude --Some Might Say...song's generic but I like the production --Cast No Shadow...I like this one but I wonder if Liam's voice is too acidic(?) for it. Should it be a Noel track? but then we wouldn't get Noel's great backup vocals. tough choice --She's Electric...totally not a Beatles song --Morning Glory...high quality rocker --The Swamp Song (V2)...interlude --Champagne Supernova...silly and too long but the production is great. I will always respect a band that can get an eight minute song on the radio
Yeah it's fine.
En britpop till, Oasis, med exempelvis Wonderwall och Don't look back in anger. Det här är bra! Det är väldigt mycket Beatles.
Oasis, What's the Story, Morning Glory ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What I'm gonna say ain't been said already? I liked some of their later and lesser-known work because maybe it wasn't so obviously Beatlesque. 'Cause listen if we're gonna go mod, why not listen to The Who or The Jam. Punk? Take your pick of others. For straight sneering rock'n'roll, they're up their with The Rolling Stones. Just maybe not on this record. I wished they'd poured it on with more Morning Glory, more Supersonic, fewer Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova singalongs.
I prefer this album over their first work. More pleasant for ears, maybe more commercial, but it's fine. Still can't fully dive deep into Oasis music, bbut it's ok.
It’s clear why they can sell out stadia 30 years later.
High school days
They have a very consistent guitar-driven sound. Lyrically complex, full of hope, longing, and introspection.
Exactly what I expected from an Oasis album. I would have been obsessed with this in high school
today do day do day day day day day day day day dayyyyyyy
Pre-listening thoughts: fuck me. well. ok. This is one of those albums where I know it's going to be good, whether I like it or not. I hate oasis. But. We will see. Post/during listening thoughts: listen i cannot stand these stupid brothers. More often than not the singing is grating and the song topics feel whiny. But occasionally on this album they really do strike gold. Champagne Supernova may just be one of the greatest album closers of all time. Forever a Blur girl but... damn. 8/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: wonderwall (whatever don’t laugh), don’t look back in anger (more like don’t look back in banger), Cast no shadow, champagne supernova Least fav tracks: swamp songs
svag fyra
Mad for it
- strong opening song, good - same sound throughout. good sound. but samey.
First album ever bought, good times
i’m trying to assess this album in a vacuum and not compare it to blur because i think that’s the only fair way to approach it. you’re welcome, liam. (noel gets nothing from me.) WELLLLL it’s a good record! is it the best in the world? is it the best of 1995? is it particularly groundbreaking in terms of the musical arrangements, lyrical content, overall structure? NO!!!! is ‘champagne supernova’ one of the greatest songs of all time? YES!!!! the best oasis songs have a wonderful anthemic quality to them, which is what i imagine is the driving force of their appeal. to me, this does not indicate great art. but not every pop rock album has to be great art. i think they take a very classical, 1950s/60s-era approach to rock n roll: simple, infectious, great to sing along to, nothing you have to think too hard about. ok i’m putting my blur fan hat back on. it’s frankly ludicrous that they’re compared to blur because blur so obviously blows them out of the water when it comes to artistry, creative innovation, emotional depth, etc. i can see why people might personally prefer oasis, but they are not OBJECTIVELY better by any metric. however, i will concede that this is a better album than *the great escape*. but only barely. and ‘roll with it’ is equally as stupid as ‘country house’. [ariana grande voice] it’s equality. fav tracks: champagne supernova; hey now!; cast no shadow; wonderwall
That was very fun! I noticed the Beatles' influence on their sound much more than in the past, which I enjoyed hearing because I like how the Beatles sound although I can't imagine putting on a whole album of this instead of just listening to the Beatles in that case. I can imagine this being great in a large stadium. I don't think it's anything much deeper than that. It's a bit odd at times to hear such simple and often stupid-sounding, fake-deep lyrics ("All your dreams are made when you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade") paired with this kind of music. But I know that Oasis kind of didn't really care about creating poignant lyrics so they're just meant as a vehicle for the songs' earworminess. On that note, they are great at writing a catchy hook. Actually letting "Wonderwall" play all the way through, rather than rolling my eyes that I have to hear that overplayed song again, made me hear it for what it is: a fun and catchy pop song with actually kind of strange and interesting chord choices at times and an infectious bass line. I didn't really come across any songs that I didn't already like ("Don't Look Back In Anger", "Champagne Supernova", "She's Electric"), except for "Cast No Shadow" (which kind of just sounded like a blur song to me), and "Morning Glory" (the epitome of what I've described this album to be -- probably great on a large scale live but with stupid lyrics). There were also many times that I felt I'd enjoy it more if I liked the vocals more but I can cope. Fav tracks: Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, Cast No Shadow
Hit after hit on the album. Enjoyed it surprisingly more than I expected. Mixed like shit though
Brad would be so happy for me. Hello is a banging track to kick this album off.
Really good vibe, great guitar and vocals.
All the hits plus some extra good ones
Best British music of the 90s, tons of great songs in here. Album never really lags or asks to be skipped. Don't Look Back in Anger is peak
Best Song: Don't Look Back in Anger I had to have listened to this back in my college days but don't really remember. This is a good album, not great, but good. Don't Look Back in Anger is quite possibly the best pop song to come out of the 90s, so this gets a 4/5 for that song alone!
increible mejora con respecto al primer album y quizás el mejor album de Oasis a la fecha.
After years of being lukewarm to this, I actually really appreciated it this time around. Energetic and maximalist with a vision, and none of the chalkboard scratching sound that nearly all britpop sounds like.
it was a good album but all songs sounded like wonderwall. 3.5 stars
I used to dislike oasis with a passion. After watching a documentary about them I started to appreciate it a bit more. Liam still can't sing and the songs by noel are better, but overall the album sounds really good. I do hate wonderwall, it used to be the standard campfire song with an acoustic guitar and I really really hate acoustic guitars around a campfire and people singing along even more shitty than Liam sang it
Ah shit man these things happen i guess. So i dont actually hate oasis as much musically as I pretend to but I've never been able to bring myself to listen to an album. So let's see shall we. Okay a sort of overture in the wonderwall tease... I can appreciate that. I'm anticipating that if im to have favourite oasis songs they'll be deep cuts. I like some might say. Oh that's on here! A shining light to look forward to. I just hate Liam Gallaghers voice i hate it i hate it. Okay shut up listen critically. Roll with it is... better than I remember probably. Idk its a deeply whatever single but it's kind of a perfect track 2. like Let's Get Rollin Boys! By getting roll with it over and done with. Wonderwall always dupes me on the verse im like ah its alright actually innit and then the chorus. Stop making that noise. I'm never gonna try and claim Don't Look Back In Anger is a bad song im not that stubborn. Its good. I sometimes like it. Feels early though???? Should be like track 9. Or 1. Hey Now! The first one I dont know? I thinkkkkkkkk its. shit. Truly just gallagher noises. Hate this. Appreciate the lil noisy interstitial into their best song. Some Might Say is just very good. It fits his grotty voice really well and im not a skilled guitar appreciator but I like what's going on there. Hm idk if its just how the songs are ordered but i'm getting used to his voice a bit. A BIT. like im not desperate to turn it off. Cast No Shadow boring as hell tho. Okay no the voice is back on she's electric. Ah it does bang. Another interstitial wouldn't have hurt its very loud after cast no shadow which is boring as hell. Oh im raising an eyebrow at morning glory this could be interesting...... or not. Ooh its just on the cusp of really doing something. I think that might me how i feel about the whole enterprise. There's a reason they're #1 British bloke band among a fucklot of British bloke bands like they.. aren't shit. They know what they're on with. It's just not quite pretentious enough for me ig. Oh i forgot about champagne supernova. Kind of undeniable as an album closer... it is 90 seconds too long. 60 seconds too long. 30 seconds too long. 10 seconds too long. Okay its perfect. I dont love it. I can't particularly stand it. But it is flawless. I think im being very big and brave here. I just can't rate this objectively. I was expecting yknow.. now that's what I call pub songs and it IS but its greater than the sum of its parts.... if I didn't already know half the songs it would almost definitely have blurred into one in places. But I do and I can tell them apart and it makes for a generally well put together album that could have come out yesterday and still made waves. Id have switched up the track order in a couple of places.. dont look back in anger gets lost somehow. And just get rid of hey now. But uh yeah. I kinda get it. I could be about to do something obscene. Sorry Robbie Williams. Sorry me.
4 sighhhh. i hate to say it's good. faves: roll with it, champagne supernova, she's electric
Very close to a 5 for me, one of my favorite albums!
Debates rage about the best Oasis album but this is right up there with their debut, swapping a more polished, grander production for their initial rawness. I think it works as you get more light and shade here and a pretty good collection of songs with only the odd low spot.
Some interesting songs. Nothing overly inspiring but some good stuff 4.0
This is as good as populist rock can be. The multiple first-rate songs and overall impact suggest why/how these lads got so overrated so fast and have remained so for so long. The songs do suffer a touch for being derivative, albeit quite transparently so. And they remain better than blur. "Champagne Supernova" is borderline self-parodying but somehow remains one of the top songs of the '90s. This is way better than anything Blur ever did.
Good album. Not heard it for years!
83/100. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis is a great Britpop/rock record, packed with some of their biggest and most iconic hits. The standout for me is "Don’t Look Back in Anger," a song that truly defines the album’s impact. While this is undoubtedly a classic, I still prefer their debut, Definitely Maybe, by a significant margin. Nonetheless, a fantastic and era-defining record.
Disco con canciones mitiquisomas. Mucho baladeo, no ha matcheado mi mood del momento. Nota: 7,2/10
8/10 mencanta, el millor album de oasis
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every woman has an ex that ruined Wonderwall for them. Also, Red Wine Supernova > Champaign Supernova.
Best song- Cast No Shadow
A couple fantastic songs that were unavoidable for years, and are to me emblematic of how this style of music can convey feelings. But the rest feel kinda bland.
There's a reason we're still taking about Oasis today, and this album is it. Bangers all over this thing, great sounding album.
Why is this album considered a landmark in British indie rock? Because everyone and their mum was playing it. On my first listen, through my rose-colored Lennon Windsors, I had to stop myself from hitting repeat on Wonderwall. I desperately wanted to love every song, hoping each play would reveal the b-sides’ personalities, but they all turned out to be the same person. The Swamp Songs serve as palette cleansers, and the first half of the album is the most memorable. There’s no doubt that Champagne Supernova reigns supreme among the best album closers. In the end, I’m more fascinated by Britpop’s grudge against grunge — and I've now walked away with a playlist stacked with names like Pulp and Suede.
I feel like I dont really have much to say about it. It has some of the biggest hits ever on it. But all the other songs blur together into this pulp of the same guitar sounds, same vocals and tonality, it all starts to fade into the background at some point. The first half of this album is really strong and thanks to wonderwall breaks out of the monotony that the second half suffers from. Cut it in half and you'd have a perfect album on its own. My favorite song is definitely Hey now! thanks to its surprising grunge sound! Overall its easy to listen to but its missing a strong character. Just like the life of an average working class citizen, which this music gets associated with -plain and simple.
Alright, I love to meme about 'Wonderwall', but this album is much more profoundly beautiful than I thought the 'basic guitar song every guitarist knows' album would sound like. Shredding guitars and melancholic vocals. I dig it.
It’s really good. So many hits. Holds up well.
I enjoyed it
I only ever knew that one song; this was a revelation!
