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!
4- I'm not even a huge oasis fan but this album has some bangers icl
all levels up, classic oasis
I always liked Liams singing on Wonderwall because it's so direct and raw. But then hearing the same singing throughout the whole album looks like he's too afraid to show his feelings. Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger (the ending!!) are genius tracks. Also Champagne Supernova (which I didn't know) is marvellous. The rest - only meh. Would have liked to hear more of that swamp song though!
Many good albums have only 3 really good songs on them. This album is 4 sides and has only 3 meh songs on it. I don't even really like Oasis that much and I feel bad for wanting to give this album 4 our of 5. Like pitching a no-hitter and losing the game somehow.
Songs: Don't Look Back in Anger, She's Electric, Champagne Supernova
No matter how hard I try to listen to this album like it's the first time, it's difficult to be objective on this one, . I owned this album when I was 10, and it was one of the first albums I remember actually playing all the way through instead of just skipping around to the singles. I think there were like five singles from this album, so I guess I would have listened to 1/2 of it either way. This album list has given me The Boo Radleys, Supergrass, and Primal Scream already - all helpful bits of brit-pop context that I didn't have when I was 10, not that I would have cared back then anyway. Comparatively, this album feels much more focused than any of those. Not dripping with psychedelic-era nostalgia like The Boo Radleys, more mature than Supergrass, and no electronic experimentation like Primal Scream. This album feels like it was aimed squarely at the 'pop' end of “brit-pop”, and it hit so hard that the whole genre died in its wake. I'm impressed by the same thing I was impressed by as a kid - most of the album tracks feel like they could be singles if they were on weaker albums. As I mentioned, I wasn't a kid who spent much time sitting through albums and this one managed to keep my attention back then. The little "Wonderwall" teaser at the beginning of "Hello" was a great way to start the album, and really foreshadowed how much that song would loom over the rest of their careers (ironic that there's a song called "Cast No Shadow" here too). If I have to pick a low point, I’m going with “She’s Electric”, which I’ve never cared for. Something about the vocal performance triggers the same response as Ringo singing on a Beatles song. A fun revisit, and certainly important to my musical development, but not one I'm going to add back to my normal rotation.
I don't want to like this, but the songwriting and melodies are too good to rate this lowly. 4.0/5.0: Great
Good mindless fun and a great singalong. Noel Gallagher will always primarily be the Inspiral Carpets' roadie to me, though.
My second Oasis album, and this one was packed with their hits. They definitely had a powerful, unique sound- mixing alt rock with pop, and pushing the boundaries on what pop music could be. Overall- very good album
4.0/5
Oasis seem to get a lot of (undeserved) hate from Serious Music Listeners™. In reality, however, they made a lot of really great songs. Layers upon layers of guitars that create a massive wall of sound, and they play it loud as hell too. This is their best album, in my opinion, with plenty of goods to chew on and a few more to be discovered upon further listens. I don't get the point of the Swamp Song excerpts, though. Key track: Roll With It Wonderwall Don't Look Back in Anger Some Might Say Champagne Supernova
Great album!!!
Goed
I had U2 followed immediately by Oasis. It felt like nothing changed.
3.8
A signature of the 90s. Not a throw away song on it. Love the production value and the new sound that songs like Wonderwall brought to us. A bit poppy for my taste.
Often listed as one of the top 100 of all time, this record is packed with classics. But it's the tracks that are just okay in my opinion that keeps it off my top 100. For my ear, their vocals get a little annoying and whiney.
This album is probably both overrated and overhated. Some absolute classics (Champagne Supernova), and the rest is pretty good.
Overproduced but good
8/10 A huge album for me when it came out. But it's always been one tainted slightly with disappointment. Wonderwall, Don't Look Back, and especially Some Might Say are obviously great, but equally Roll With It, Hey Now and What's the Story are all a bit rubbish. And ultimately it was the last hurrah for Oasis, after only 1.5 good albums, before the rot set in.
Didn’t understand the Oasis hype after listening to Definitely Maybe. I understand it now.
Classic album, and perfectly timed with the current reunion tour!
Glorious rock and roll in that pouty, ladish style and wanker attitude. Love it
you can say a lot of things about noel gallagher, but this album has 3 incredible tracks that are each worth a whole star.
Same
good album, as we all (must) know
Cool
A couple duds paired up with some of the greatest songs of all time.
Another album that has been talked about so much, there's not much to say beyond my own experience listening to it for here. I found it to be pretty good overall. Putting aside all the years of criticism and praise is a little difficult at this point, but I found it to be an enjoyable listen. There were some really good tracks on there. A few weren't so good. But as a whole I'd say the album was pretty solid. The music kept me engaged, the vocals were powerful enough, and the songs had variety and range to keep things interesting. My favorite tracks were Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova, both tracks I'd heard before and have enjoyed for a while. I thought the worst song was She's Electric, which was a new one for me. I'd say this was much more good than bad. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but I do think it was a pretty good album. I enjoyed it more than plenty of others I've heard on here, and I could see myself listening to it again. Overall: 3.75/5
Just a solid album. Interesting and cheerful songs. Lyrics that make you wonder if there’s a deeper meaning.
Nice touch with the sounds of sloshing water (perhaps is the Oasis? Lolololol). Pretty good album and very fitting that they happen to be touring again. Classics from my childhood, easy listening and catchy tunes. The Champaign supernova is in the sky ☁️☁️☁️
A fine example of how to do Brit pop. Oasis really knocked it out of the park. 3 legendary hits here, and the deeper cuts are also decent. If Live Forever was on here I could almost give this a 5. This kind of reminds me of Ten by Pearl Jam, in the context of a band having most of their hits from 1 single album.
Listened while walking my dog. I was in a funk mood because of a rude interaction I had with a customer service rep. The music and the walk helped me get out of that feeling. The music was very light-hearted actually, I think I would need to listen to the album more times to get the full story behind some of the lyrics but i actually really liked a couple songs, some might say and hello were ones that stood out. I haven’t listened to everything but so far I like what I’ve heard and what I’m hearing.
Super solid record with some absolute classics on it.
Коли говорять про Britpop, майже завжди рано чи пізно розмова приходить до Oasis та їх другого альбому (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. Альбом, що опинився просто в епіцентрі культурного моменту дев’яностих, коли Британія раптом знову повірила у власну музику, моду й попкультуру - приблизно з тим самим ентузіазмом, який країна відчувала ще у шістдесятих. При цьому сам альбом починається максимально по-оазісівськи. “Hello” одразу задає зухвалий, трохи нахабний тон з легким жартом у бік Gary Glitter. Далі починаються пісні, що фактично вже стали частиною поп-культури. “Some Might Say” принесла гурту перший британський «номер один», а “Don’t Look Back in Anger” перетворилася на один з тих гімнів, які люди співають разом на стадіонах. Ну й звісно “Wonderwall”. Пісня, яку сьогодні знає буквально кожен, навіть якщо ніколи спеціально не слухав Oasis. Її назва відсилає до саундтреку George Harrison кінця шістдесятих, а Noel свого часу казав, що написав її для своєї тодішньої дівчини. Втім, якщо говорити про емоційний центр альбому, то ним часто називають “Cast No Shadow”. Пісню, присвячену Richard Ashcroft з The Verve. Тут Oasis раптом стають значно ніжнішими: струнні додають драматизму, а Liam звучить напрочуд зосереджено та навіть вразливо. Титульна “Morning Glory” повертає нас до більш агресивної енергії гурту, коли життєрадісний приспів контрастує з шумом гелікоптерів. Сам Noel описував альбом як дуже “міський”, та навіть обкладинка, що є фото Berwick Street у лондонському Soho це підкреслює. Цікаво, що при всьому цьому статусі класики, одразу після виходу альбом зустріли доволі стримано. Частина критиків скаржилася на вокал Liam, частина на те, що пісні не виправдали очікувань, а хтось на те що в ньому майже відсутні експерименти. І так, Morning Glory не ідеальний. Деякі треки тут відверто філерні, та майже відсутній якись значущий прогрес у порівнянні з попередником Definitely Maybe, який через своє сире та більш сконцентроване та енергійне звучання заходить мені набагато краще. Альбом провів десять тижнів на першому місці британського чарту, розійшовся накладом понад двадцять мільйонів копій та став одним з найуспішніших альбомів в історії Великої Британії, перетворивши Oasis на справжній стадіонний феномен.
Justamente no dia em que a banda reúne-se, 4 de julho de 2025, o álbum "What's The Story (Morning Glory)?" me é recomendado. Nunca entendi muito a empolgação em torno de Oasis, já que não vejo nada de revolucionário em sua discografia. Entretanto, a onda de renascimento da estética britpop nos últimos tempos tem me levado a me aprofundar mais no gênero (e até mesmo de gostar mais das músicas). É inegável a presença de algumas músicas no rol de faixas que marcaram os anos 90 e 2000, sendo Wonderwall e Don't Look Back in Anger duas dessas. Champagne Supernova até belisca um lugar nessa lista também. No final das contas, este é um álbum decente. Falando dessa forma até parece algo ruim, mas na realidade não é. Os hits citados anteriormente realmente se destacam, mas as demais músicas são coesas e não afetam a qualidade da experiência como um todo. (Sei que parece cliché, mas, quando eu for a Londres, vou reproduzir a foto da capa. Aliás, que fonte horrível que escolheram para o título).
Good
i think i just like rock or whatever this genre is LOL love the distortion on the guitar i think the singing and the songs at the start of the album are a bit meh but vibes wonderwall is iconic, i dont think i really care for the original that much tho?? love the cello/strings in it tho hahaha, never heard those before don't look back in anger is iconic in his voice tho (mostly just the chorus tho) the instrument at the start of The Swamp Song V1 is really funny the rest of the album is kinda too same-same-nothing-burgery for me
The Good: A glorious morning! The Bad: Ruined by a bunch of screamin’ The Ugly: The fight that ensued when the singer was asked to STFU… Damn… Fucking Oasis… and their catchy tunes… Based on the comments I’ve been reading, most people on this journey were in their teenage years during the ‘90s, and they all agree that this album is nostalgic for them. Well, I was not in my teenage years during the ‘90s, but I too find this album dripping with nostalgia, and making me wish I could relive those lovely carefree days of enjoying a 4-day weekend every week—it’s good to be a college student back then—buying cheap ass beer, hitting on anything that was willing to give you a smile, and not looking back in anger… damnit, there I went and did what I wasn’t going to do. What I did not know, until reading the wiki page, is that the original drummer of the band was fired at the start of recording this album… and here I was, all the time thinking, the drumming is annoying with those fucking fills all the time… Guess I am more of a Ringo kinda chap, as was the original drummer. Anyway, I was not an Oasis fan in the ‘90s, but obviously there were tunes one could not escape from back then, and several of them are found on this here album, meriting the 4* I am going to shell out. Also, FYI, I went and listened to their debut album after listening to this one twice, and I gave Definitely Maybe 4* as well… If they wouldn’t be so arrogant, I might even shell out a 5*...
album opens with a wonderwall jumpscare which is pretty crazy. really liked Hello & Roll With It. i have heard Wonderwall way too much to really enjoy it but i get why its popular. i have to wonder if they knew it would be that popular as it opens the album without even being the opener of the album.
Standouts Hello Wonderwall Don't Look Back in Anger Champagne Supernova
it's the album come on
Cheesy lyrics, but gosh the hooks are effective. Won't pull this out usually if I want to listen to music, but a karaoke night? Heck yes
You won't find me saying a bad word about this album, it's too iconic.
Cool college radio girl vibes! Needs an iced tea! Love all tracks!
Peak Oasis. The sound of my teens, the best Beatles cover band of all time?
The album is a high quality cheeseburger. It may not be intellectually stimulating or high class but I'm not going to pretend I didn't enjoy it all the same
Better than Coldplay
this album is really good. I never liked oasis (I guess I didn’t care about them) when they were new. It’s so Brit pop. “Don’t look back in anger” is the best oasis song.
It was... Hm, better and worse than expected, but at the end of the day I REALLY enjoyed it so hey, why not give another 4, who cares.
Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.
Second best album Oasis ever released
Obviously a super classic love champagne supernova
I was in the fence about 3 vs 4, but why not give the benefit of doubt? Brit pop is not my jam, but I was surprised by several tracks on this album and it certainly was influential.
This album came out when I was about 13 years old and coincided with the Beatles anthology documentary on TV and their three anthology compilation albums. You can definitely hear the heavy Beatles influence here, which as a kid I absolutely loved. I felt like I had some kind of insider info because I recognized Imagine in Don’t Look Back In Anger 😂 Back then there wasn’t an unlimited supply of music to listen to. You either listened to the radio or whatever CDs you were able to buy or borrow. There were CDs I knew inside and out and this was one of them, along with The Cranberries, Green Day, and Enya 😂 Music was more of a commodity then. CDs were special and for kids hard to come by. All that being said, I definitely loved What’s The Story Morning Glory. It held a special place in the heart of the impressionable teen that I was and it is certainly nice to revisit every now and then. I wish I could listen to it again as a kid, because it doesn’t feel as special now. I guess nothing does. Anyway, four stars, mostly for nostalgia’s sake.
Very catchy, singable songs. Hard for me to take “Wonderwall” seriously, but that’s not really the fault of the song itself.
pretty goood. i liked it better than the previous oasis album. downloaded 3,4,6,8,9,10 and 12. champagne supernova is my favourite off of the album.
Teetering between a 4 and a 3 and I went down because I don't want to like this. Gallagher's are cunts, their fans are cunts, but this is pretty much the only Oasis record that actually backs up the hype - there's a lot of bangers here. I particularly love the title track and Cast No Shadow. *Amended this post Definitely Maybe because that is a 3 and this is better.
realmente tiene temazos
Great album, don't think I listened to this at all when it first came out. Really enjoyed it though.
Excellent album. So many good songs. I remember when the album first came, out my cousin bought it and then I stole it from him and it didn't leave my discman for months. He ended up having to buy another copy because he thought he'd lost it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They're certainly an enjoyable band, but I've never really gotten the level of praise they seem to get. I certainly was not going feral for the reunion tour. 7.5/10 Favorite song: Champagne Supernova
This was fun to listen to again. It’s another album that I played a bunch when it came out, but haven’t listened to in a long time. Don’t Look Back In Anger was my favorite song back then, and still is. I’d give it 4 1/2 stars, but I’ll do four as i think there are some filler songs.
it’s good-ish. some songs on here are much better than others but some are just kinda forgettable. it’s not good enough for me to give it a 4, but not meh enough for me to give it a 3 (this website rlly should add half star options huh), but since i think it’s more good than meh, it’s getting a 4
SAVE ME
Got a Gallagher-shaped soft spot
Great album with some classics
pior que eu gosto mais desse do que o def maybe só musicão pprt
aprecio bastante!! prefiro o Definitely Maybe? sim. mas é impossível dizer que esse aqui não é bem melhor e recheado de hits né dito isso, eles sabem como abrir um album né, eh impressionante. hello eh boa DEMAIS vsf
To start, I was never an Oasis fan, but this album makes a great singalong with catchy hooks. But Everytime a song starts it sounds like it could be almost any other song on the album. While I knew 90% of the album already, I found that the (new to me) “Hello” and “Hey now” had me putting on my best nasal singing voice more than the rest.
Objectively it is a good album. Subjectively it is a great album
Great album. Has all the hits as well
I actually really liked this when it came out and now it is fairly good, although the non-hits have lost a tiny bit of luster. Nevertheless, it is and was a really great album and I know that the lead singer was kind of a controversial character and it created issues with them moving forward. That is too bad but at least they put out this solid entry.
Ah ha. The lads are back with a vengeance. Big bad Oasis. Trying to dunk on me and my takes. Well don’t worry….I’m not gonna doooooooo what everyone thinks I’m gonna doooooo. I’m not gonna freak out man! As you can plainly see - I have been defeated. Beat into submission by the almighty list, this Brit pop simp. Saying Oasis was the most overrated band ever may have been a bad take, but it wasn’t my first bad take and it won’t be the last. It also wasn’t my worst. I thought The Hives were the world’s next great band. I thought Dogpile.com was superior to Google. I thought Belichick was more valuable than Brady etc etc This album is significantly better than “Definitely Maybe”. Much more confident and original. Better instrumentation and varied arrangements. Not leaning on the tropes and British Invasion nostalgia I slammed them for in the debut. It’s still not something I would voluntarily listen to, but I may be ready to hang up my animosity towards Oasis. They aren’t hacks… my b.
Don't Look Back In Anger is up there for best songs of all time.
Succédant à l'énergie brute et à l'arrogance juvénile de "Definitely Maybe", "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" le deuxième album d'Oasis sorti en 1995 allait non seulement cimenter le statut d'Oasis comme l'un des plus grands groupes britanniques de tous les temps, mais aussi devenir la bande-son indélébile de la jeunesse des années 90, l'apogée du mouvement Britpop. Sur le plan musical, "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" marque une évolution significative par rapport à son prédécesseur. Si l'énergie rock est toujours présente, elle est ici canalisée avec plus de sophistication. La production, assurée par Owen Morris et Noel Gallagher lui-même, est plus ample, plus orchestrale par moments, créant ce fameux "mur du son" ("wall of sound") qui donne aux chansons une dimension épique. Les mélodies, toujours au centre de l'écriture de Noel, sont ici plus ciselées, plus universelles. On sent une volonté d'écrire des classiques instantanés, des chansons capables de transcender les genres et les générations. L'album s'ouvre avec "Hello", une introduction tonitruante qui sample "Wonderwall" de manière ironique avant de lancer un riff puissant. C'est une déclaration d'intention, un "nous revoilà, et nous sommes encore meilleurs". Puis vient "Roll With It", l'un des singles qui a alimenté la fameuse "bataille de la Britpop" contre Blur. C'est un hymne à la résilience, un morceau direct et efficace, typique de l'énergie d'Oasis. Mais c'est avec les pistes suivantes que l'album atteint des sommets inégalés. "Wonderwall", ballade acoustique devenue un phénomène planétaire, est sans doute la chanson la plus connue d'Oasis. Sa mélodie mélancolique, portée par la voix éraillée de Liam et des arrangements de cordes subtils, a touché une corde sensible universelle. Les paroles, bien qu'abstraites, évoquent le besoin de soutien et d'amour, résonnant profondément auprès d'un large public. Elle est devenue un standard, repris et adapté à l'infini, prouvant la force intemporelle de son écriture. Ensuite, "Don't Look Back in Anger", chantée par Noel Gallagher lui-même, est une autre pièce maîtresse. Avec son introduction au piano rappelant John Lennon et son refrain fédérateur, la chanson est un appel à laisser le passé derrière soi et à aller de l'avant. Elle est devenue un hymne de résilience, souvent entonné lors de moments de rassemblement et de commémoration. "Hey Now!" offre une ambiance plus psychédélique, avec une production dense et des paroles énigmatiques, montrant une facette plus expérimentale du groupe. La piste titre, "Morning Glory", est un retour à une énergie plus brute, avec un riff incisif et des paroles évoquant l'usage de drogues, un thème récurrent mais traité ici avec une sorte de désinvolture bravache. L'une des pièces les plus ambitieuses de l'album est sans conteste "Champagne Supernova". Ce morceau épique de plus de sept minutes clôture l'album (avant les pistes cachées) sur une note grandiose et planante. Au-delà des hits individuels, les thèmes explorés dans "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" sont ceux d'une génération. On y trouve l'espoir, l'ambition, le désir d'échapper à la monotonie du quotidien. L'impact de "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" fut colossal et immédiat. L'album s'est vendu à des millions d'exemplaires à travers le monde, devenant l'un des albums les plus vendus de l'histoire britannique. Il a propulsé Oasis au rang de superstars mondiales, capables de remplir des stades gigantesques, comme en témoignent les concerts historiques de Knebworth en 1996, où plus de 250 000 personnes se sont rassemblées sur deux soirs. Critiquement, bien que certains aient initialement reproché une production parfois trop lisse ou des paroles jugées simplistes, l'album est aujourd'hui unanimement reconnu comme un classique. En conclusion, "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" est une oeuvre majeure, un triomphe artistique et commercial qui a marqué son temps de manière indélébile. Il représente le sommet de la Britpop et l'un des derniers grands moments où le rock'n'roll a véritablement dominé la culture populaire mondiale. Un album qui s'en sort avec un 4 sur 5
I can't listen to certain tracks on this album because of how much they've been overplayed but I did listen to the ones that haven't. If I was reviewing now I'd probably give it 2stars based on their legacy after the first 2 albums . 22 year old me would've given it 4stars so I'll go with that
A tough one to review as it’s so culturally embedded amongst Brits of my era that it’s difficult to separate the moment from the songs. There are sing along bangers on here, there are some lovely melodies, but also a fair amount of fillers. The production isn’t great, but I think they are trying to replicate the live energy of the band. The lyrics are at times schoolyard awful, and many parts of the album are overly derivative. That said I still kinda like it and it retains a place in my heart for when oasis meant something to my generation, during those moments before they became a pale, repetitive imitation of their former self, and a rock n roll parody
Nice, classic Oasis
Favorites: Don’t Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova As much as the Gallaghers leave a bad taste in my mouth for obvious reasons, this album is incredible. Grandiosity at its purest form, with classic song after classic song.
Always thought of these guys as a knock-off Beatles back in the 90s so I never paid them much mind. At some point I realized that everything is inspired by something and perhaps the only true original art is a cave painting. So... good stuff.
unfortunately i really enjoy music made by men with shitty haircuts. in the gallagher brothers' defense, its not their fault every guitar-playing male manipulator decided to learn wonderwall on acoustic guitar for the sole purpose of terrorizing a captive audience of their potential love interests and unwitting house party guests, so although it isssss overplayed asf and deeply annoying, they could not possibly have foreseen this outcome in 1995 (did i physically recoil when the song came on? of course i did!). some moderate bangers on this one, bonus points for a manchester accent of course because i miss being out there soooooo bad. someday you fiiiiind me caught beneath the landsliiiiiiiiide in a champagne supernova in the skyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I may now hate everything oasis have become and stand for, but hard to deny this is a good album. A few low points but some real highs too.
Very solid. A couple of fillers and the Gary glitter elements have aged poorly of course!
I had a realisation whilst listening to this that I've only heard the original, normal Wonderwall a handful of times. I've heard the memes a million times though.
Minder vals dan verwacht. Beetje Merijn First vibes ;)
Overblown, useless lyrics but such attitude and such killer tunes they do have a glory.
Britpop Mt. Everest
An iconic Brit-pop album with some real bangers on it, and I’m not even talking about “Wonderwall”, the meme it has become. “Don’t look back in anger” is a top 20 90s song for me and “Champagne Supernova” is an amazing send off. Plenty here to like.
Some absolute bangers on here but also some very just average songs, especially on the 2nd half.
some duds amongst the firecrackers... strong overall... a bit annoying after listening to them ten songs in a row... they stay stuck in the same lane... grating punky vocals over Beatle esque progressions... it's ok... i thought i'd like it more...
Iconic music, can see why these guys got famous famous. The whininess of his voice does get a tiny bit annoying... Favourite: She's Electric Least: Morning Glory
I fear this album is filled with bangers, there is a reason it is so popular. Favs: Roll with it, Don’t look back in anger, Hey now!, She’s Electric Least: Some might say Actual score: 4.5 -0.5 for the Gallagher brothers
Takes me back to being 16 and listening to this when it came out. I was more into Blur than Oasis back then but there are a handful of tracks on here (Cast No Shadow, Wondereall, Morning Glory and Some Might Say) that are better then anything from The Great Escape.
Wow, this whole album is great!
I had heard the singles off of this album plenty of times before, and I was obviously well acquainted with the “anyway here’s Wonderwall” meme, so I went into this album expecting the songs I didn’t know to be so miserable that there’s a reason they never got radio play. I was wrong. This album is strong all the way through, and really good overall. I think it really is a case of becoming so popular with some people with strong personalities that it was bound to have detractors. It happens to popular things all the time.
Maybe not the most original band in the world but this album does contain some well crafted pop / rock songs
Love this album, great to revisit!
No misses and still a great listen.
Well I know popular music is all derivative in some way or other...but this album, despite its merits, does seem to be excessively so at times. Nevertheless, it's quite a stirring wall of noise effect - probably emphasised by the rather extreme compression and low dynamic range. Liam Gallagher's vocals are good and mixed right to the front. I'm guessing these were production choices made to make the singles jump out from the radio. And there were several singles from this album released during the media-hyped battle with Blur.
i can ALWAYS get behind irish literature and irish rock
This is the only Oasis record I listen to but I like it
Not really an Oasis fan and was familiar only with the hits from this album. Postcard from the nineties that's a very solid record.
Hello. Some Might Say, Hey Now! This album is a Wonderwall! I’d say, Roll with It.
Still not crazy about Oasis, but most of their best songs are on this album
Damn, Oasis is a good band. The thing I like about this album is that it is so clear and distilled into a vision. It’s not a “kitchen sink” project. Nothing is out of place.
4/5. My style of music. Solid, couple classics
Totally overrated but a couple of great songs
Absolutely wild how many generations hits are on this thing, sometimes lyrically nonsensical but iconic regardless. Side note, strangely mixed. It feels very tinny and almost no midrange. Anyone else feel that? Or just me?
This album is like the Mono Lisa. You go to take it in and expect to be a little underwhelmed, there is so much hype and millions of people lining up to get in front of it - surely it can't be that good. On the outside it doesn't seem so special, and it's easy to walk right by, there is better art in the back of the Louvre. But if the sun hits it just right, it's pretty freaking spectacular.
You know that beatles clip where they say Rango isnt even the best drummer in the Beatles? Thats how I feel about wonderwall. A-Tier alblum, champagne Supernova is S-Tier
4 - Yeah I quite like oasis. Not obsessed, but it's just some nice bangers but nothing to deep
God Wonderwall is annoying. But I don't really think that's Oasis' fault. I want to dislike this album more, but really there are just quite a lot of solid undeniable tunes. As with Definitely Maybe I'm still not a huge fan of the production choices, particularly in relation to the guitars, but overall I think this a more well rounded and diverse album, and deserves a place in the canon. Fave Tracks: Don't Look Back in Anger, Some Might Say 3.8/5
Jagoffs or not. This is a pretty good album. Not near as good as they think it is - but good.
I've always thought these blokes were a bunch of wankers. However....this is good rock and roll album - can't be denied.
I never got super into Oasis, but this album hits really well when the mood strikes, and Champagne Supernova is one of my favorite songs of the 90s.
The most majestic britpop ever got to be. This album should actually get minus points because of the high quality of all the B-sides that were left out of the album ("Acquiesce" is easily a top 5 song in Oasis' whole discography).
This is the album that really put Oasis on the map. Unfortunately, the so called “next Beatles” could never get along long enough to prove it! They definitely left their mark with this album with some amazing hits. Too bad they will only be remembered for their family feuds and not their musical talent.
This was fun to listen to. They really delivered some great tracks, and the staples are absolute titans of music. I enjoyed listening throughout even if I felt like they could have done a bit more to add some variety.
This was a fun listen. I liked the sound and found myself dancing and singing along to songs I’d never heard before but was catching onto. Sometimes the album felt like it was on shuffle because some jumps from song to song were jarring. Not really a game changing album for me but I’d be happy if I walked into a store where it was playing.
Not the best Oasis album, and Liam's voice hurts so bad, but the quality of songwriting shines through
A very solid album throughout, just not quite good enough for me to give it a 5.
Same feelings as previous album. I don't like them as people or as a band - but they have some great tunes that were the soundtrack of my formative years. Unlikely to listen to them by choice now but cannot deny the impact. Choice track - Dont Look Back in Anger.
Hadn't listened to the whole album before surpisingly. Now I have!
reminds me of my little brother, who has this album cover as his instagram profile picture for some reason. maybe we should start a band.
'60s & '70s vibe updated to the '90s. Great pop rock. Drops off a bit in the seconds half, but one of those 90s classics everyone needs to hear at least once. Highlights: "Hello" (strong rocking opening), "Roll With It" (poppy banger), "Wonderwall" (classic 90s pop song), "Don't Look Back in Anger" (anthemic), "Cast No Shadow" (kind of a late-era Beatles vibe. best song on the album)
And so Sally can wait! Good album overall, no real low points. Anyway, here's Wonderwall
No private session used for Spotify. I never really got into Oasis, maybe because I didn't have to because Oasis was unavoidable. Most of those songs appear on this album, so I like it for the nostalgia.
After all, you’re my wonderwall. 9/10
i came-of-age
maybe
Oasis aren’t as bad as some people claim. But neither are they as good as others think. This is not as good as their debut, and it has that godawful Wonderwall, but there are still a few quality tunes, such as Some Might Say, Hello and Don’t Look Back in Anger (which I’m still not tired of). Wonderwall almost drags it down to 3 stars, but almost never cut it.
Turns out Wonderwall still slaps? I can’t tell. I feel like I can’t pay too much attention to it cause it feels cheesy? Maybe that’s the whole album? I’ll just dig it from a distance. Ah I like this album the further in I go. What a finish.
It's that Beatles tribute album!!! Champagne Supernova my beloved...
banger
I love this album. The singles do most of the work but they are capable of carrying the entire album. I wish we had quarter stars because it's really a 3.75 but I will give it a 4/5.
Of course it’s got the hits. The rest are fine. It’s hard not to listen to it knowing the foibles of the Gallaghers.
This is the quintessential Britpop album made by arguably the quintessential Britpop band. I could do without the Swamp Songs because they’re just filler imo. The three most well known songs from this album definitely deserve to be their place but there are so many great songs here. I am amazed that “Roll With It” was the single for “The Battle of Britpop” as honestly, I think it’s pretty terrible. Wonderwall Some Might Say Champagne Supernova Don’t Look Back In Anger Cast No Shadow Morning Glory Hey Now! She’s Electric Roll With It Hello Swamp Song V2 Swamp Song V1
Will I enjoy this album? Maaybeeee Hot Take: Morning Glory is a better song than Wonderwall. I don't think I have ever listened to this album in full, but I do know most of the songs already. One of those pervasive albums we've all heard. It's just played absolutely everywhere. An absolute classic, and most of the hate for it I feel is simply because it's so overplayed. Champagne Supernova is another favourite. It's a strong album overall, even though I'm sorta sick of hearing half the songs.
Excellent album. So many catchy songs that I grew up listening to.
It is easy to shit on Oasis, and I certainly have, but I would be kidding myself if I didn't admit this is a great album.
it’s pretty cool
Impressive but not perfect
Lots of good classics on this album
Enjoyed. Nostalgic
9/10 Favorite Tracks: *Wonderwall*, *Some Might Say* Least Favorite: She's Electric, Morning Glory
Oh wait Oasis is really good?
(What’s the story) morning glory?
Another round of high-school flashbacks. Solid all around, with clear highlights baked into meme and proper culture.
Muy bueno la verdad, Oasis en particular nunca va a ser LA banda del Britpop para mi, pero escuchando el disco te das cuenta porque son tan exitosos. Muchos hits de radio y disfruté bastante de "Champagne Supernova". Ni hablar de "Don't Look Back in Anger", que para mi es el mejor tema de ellos.
J'ai beaucoup aimé. La voix de Liam Gallagher est parfaite dans son style, le mélange de pop et de rock est peut-être un peu lisse mais bien séduisant. J'ai seulement trouvé mid les titres Hey Now!, Cast No Shadow ; et dans une certaine mesure, Some Might Say. Autrement, c'est très cool.
Смешанные ощущения. С одной стороны - небесталанные песни на мощном фундаменте The Beatles, The Kinks и прочих. С другой - несколько однообразно, несколько "мудрые" тексты (но об этом я могу судить только косвенно). И "стена звук" мне всё одно не очень нравится.
Good but man so angsty! Hard to endorse.
Possibly the most iconic record of the 90s period. Definitely the most iconic British record of the 90s anyway. Nothing but hits.
cool
While I do feel Oasis is a bit overhyped I do still enjoy their music. I even liked Liam Gallegher’s recent collaboration with John Squire. I have plenty of fond memories attached to (What’s The Story) Morning Glory. It’s an album that I fell in love with moments from the album as opposed to the songs at first. This all occurred in small increments over time until eventually I realized I enjoy the whole album. Modern bands that I think take what Oasis did and built upon it would be Blossoms, check out their self titled album, and “The Glow” by DMA’s. Both are worth checking out even if you only kind of like Oasis.
Classic
A classic for a reason
Peak ignorance and talent collide with a lot of amphetamines. So catchy, yet dumb sometimes/all times. The sneering singing is dead on, always serves the song. Don't look back in anger right into the Great British songbook. Nice touches/overtures call backs.
Love this vibe ! Some of the songs did sound the same though but I would listen to at least half of these songs again.
I actually enjoyed this album a lot more than I expected to. Rolled my eyes when I saw it was the wonder wall album. But I actually pretty much liked it all the way through, with a few exceptions. Highlights: Don't Look Back In Anger Champagne Supernova Hey Now!
Lot of great songs on this album
Very good of course, not a five star for me though. Never really understood why Wonderwall became so big Will I listen to again: 75%
I always forget how much I like the Oasis instrumentation/production. Also how well Liam Gallagher's voice works with it. I never realised that the wonderwall bass is strange, especially in the verses. Guitar solo on morning glory is so good better than I remembered. Favourite songs: hello, roll with it, don't look back in anger, some might say, she's electric, morning glory, champagne supernova. Overall around 8/10
I don't think I've listened to this album all the way through for twenty years... Not the biggest fan of Oasis but it's hard to say a bad word about 5 or 6 of the songs on here, all of which are perennial classics. The others I never very much cared for / seem a bit filler-y to me at the time, and my opinion of them hasn't changed on a relisten. So half the album is 5/5b and half 2.5-3/5 - so 4 seems about right!
Mega classic. One of the easiest albums to pick a favorite track from on this list so far. Favorite track: Champagne Supernova
04/03/25 Brilliant album, so many great tracks. Not my favourite by Oasis but nevertheless a great collection.
En su momento fueron una fuerza que prometía arrasar, pero, pasó y su huella se difumina más rápido que su inicio.
Pretty killer throughout. Don't Look Back In Anger is obviously one of the greatest songs of all time, but it's all great. Half of this album reminds me of GBV, which is probably an insane take. The idea that Oasis vs. Blur was ever a legitimate discussion is crazy. Oasis actually makes good tunes.
SLEPT ON.
Pretty good. Liked several of the songs.
Well, it's rock. Cool melodies, beautiful vocals, and a singing style reminds me of Twenty One Pilots. From 3.5 to 4
I was playing the back half of this in the car w/ my friend and she was like play wonderwall so I played wonderwall. I enjoyed this.
7/10 - I think oasis is actually this close (pretend I’m pinching my fingers) to being a great artist. I think that wonderwall being a meme kind of screwed them.
Definitely one of the best albums from the 90's
In overall ok album, some great moments lifts up to four star. Still album reminds me more from this era with great memories and feelings .
Wonderwall <3 Few other songs that sounded good, overall not bad but I love me some WONDERWALL. WONDERWALL WONDERWALL WONDERWALL WONDERWALL WONDERWALL WONDERWALL
Good start with Hello. Wonderwall is a classic, great song. Don't Look Back In Anger was fun, great guitar work. The rest of the album goes well, Some Might Say and She's Electric are also nice. Fun album! Best song: Wonderwall
very good album, a lot of acoustic and electric guitar and stuff, his voice is iinda weird though. very satisfying chord progression idk what to call it. the sonfs were kinda motivational.
Nice britpop album with a lot of great songs on it. The song structures are pretty good, with different melodies and motifs in all of the songs. The Beatles influence is evident, which can never be a bad thing. This is a more modern take on the 60s-70s pop, and the band did a great job developing the sounds further. The songs are both catchy and memorable, as well as musically well made.
Bissi das gleiche immer
I remember the radio hits, but never paid attention to Oasis otherwise. This album is excellent! They sound very influenced by the Beatles, but dare I say I would rather listen to this than many Beatles albums. Catchy beats, good energy. They always sound like themselves , but there’s enough variety or movement to keep it interesting. I may be a new Oasis fan.
Not exactly a fan of Oasis, but can't deny the amount of bangers on this album
Kinda wanted to rag on this album just because of the douche factor, but it's really good. Some of it is just nostalgia for the time, but half of the songs on here are pretty great. Loses a little bit because the non-hit songs are all pretty forgettable. 4.3 stars or so
Well...here it is. I was assigned the Oasis album Definitely Maybe a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised, especially after writing them off for years based on hearing Wonderwall a billion times. Well, here's the Wonderwall album that I dreaded. I expected whiny Liam the whole album, which isn't at all what I got here. What a great album with a nice variety. Oasis has definitely been growing on me. I may even have to take a deep dive into their catalog.
4/5 It's 2025 - time for me to stop pretending I don't think Oasis are one of the best bands of all time. I would enjoy this more if it wasn't for the awful nostalgic feeling I get in my stomach every time I listen to Oasis - I don't even know why but I have felt like this since I was a child and I cba feeling depressed so minus half a star. Standout tracks: - Roll With It (4/5) - Wonderwall (5/5) - Don't Look Back In Anger (4/5) - Morning Glory (5/5)
It's difficult to review. It seemed a lot more important at the time, but it's become generic by virtue of how many bands it influenced. I think it's worth the four stars on the strength of Champagne Supernova.
My note for Definitely Maybe was something like “I don’t get it.” THIS I get. I guess when Oasis is good they are great.

Solid.
I was pleasantly surprised by this album, while it still feels like generic britpop. A fun listen though!
A strong album with a number of really good songs.
Love the energy, mix also feels much cleaner than the other Oasis album Standout: Don't look back in anger, Morning glory
3.6 Better than I expected
This is a good example of something really good, that has 3 really solid songs.. but ultimately everything sounds very similar.. yet at the same time it’s still really good
Very nice songs
Some classic tracks. Definitely hear the Beatles influence. A bit simple and melodramatic at times, teased us with some hard rock but never got there. Still. Great album.
I enjoyed this album. A good mix of new to me and Nostalgia. Easy to listen to.
Anthemic, for the masses- genuinely enjoyable as an album. Didn’t redefine music but is immensely fun and has that chant factor that makes it indelible to British crowds
Better than I expected. Just a solid rock album.
A few great songs, need to like this album
Almost a 5, but not quite there yet. 4.5
Cut that swamp shit out and you got a fantastic record. Two really great songs and a bunch that are pretty good. They have a unique sound, they’re phun, they play well, they sing well. Production worked. Lyrics worked. No big issues. Very nice, enjoyed it a lot. 4/5
Nostalgic, easy to listen, teenage-y. Love the cover art. Easy listen for a workday - doesn't require concentrating a lot.
First lusten meh 2nd better 3rd a lot better
A light four. I enjoyed listening to it - I actually listened to it all the way through twice yesterday. Of course I appreciated the hits and found the deeper cuts also pleasant. So I must have liked it enough!
The Brother's Gallagher can eat chode, but Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, and Roll With It are not bad.
between this and definitely maybe for their best. good album some skips.. whole thing turned to shit after this record.
A solid album. I give it 3.5
Really cool music but some songs are a little repetitive. Standout tracks: Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova
I got very into this album in college, and it holds up quite well. There are some clear standout songs, and even the untitled connector songs aren't as stupid as they could be. Really good, very close to five stars.
In the year of growly, gruff grunge these boys rocked their falsettos. It still feels original and dreamy; refreshing and bright. Holds up well.
7/10…britpop / madchester
Strong album and a great place to start with Oasis. I enjoyed it.
Pretty good album. Some really good songs on here. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” is a great song. Liked this. 4/5 Will listen again
This was good. Better than I remember.
ingenting man ligger och tänker på när man ska somna, men jävligt stabilt album
Många sjukt bra låtar! Älskar gitarrerna. Men några fillers
Great album. Enjoyed every sog.
Some bits interesting but not a big fan
