"RAIN" AND "AGAIN" DONT RHYME NOEL
I don't know. The songs sound alright, but I just can not get over the singer's voice. It's sooooo nasally.
In her song ‘love like laughter’ Beth Orton sings ‘some of the worst wrongs get righted on three chords’ and this is where Oasis’ sophomore album excels and rightly takes its place amongst the cultural canon. Noel Gallagher righting the wrongs delivered as a result of cheesy euro trance dominating the charts for the majority of the early 90’s. 1995 was arguably the high water mark for britpop and (what’s the story) morning glory swept everything away in one mighty stroke. I can remember listening to the charts and being overjoyed that ‘some might say’ made number one. It marked a turning of the tide… ‘Where were you while we were getting high?’ Acknowledges the passing of the torch from the Stone Roses to Oasis and it’s hard to dispute. Like all successful sequels, this album builds upon what works with Defintley Maybe and develops that which needed improvement (in this case, Tony McCarrol was replaced by the more able Alan White) and while guigsy and bonehead’s playing remained basic, Gallaghers songwriting moves forward and upward noticeably with this batch of songs, especially the b-sides from this era (acquiesce / the masterplan/ talk tonight / rockin’ chair could be assembled to create a third era defining album that other bands would die for). A monumental achievement based on an unwavering belief that rock n roll can change the world 4/5
Lots of good classics on this album
Classic. 9.5/10
It's fashionable to hate Oasis these days, but if you were in the UK when this came out, you'd know how much of a cultural impact it had
Oki
Surprised to see it held up. Still tremendously boring music though.
If I could give this more than 5 I would. Haven’t listened to the full album in a while so it served as a good reminder this album is just banger after banger after banger. Is there even a bad song on the album?!
A few good songs, the rest were fairly forgettable.
Enjoyed. Nostalgic
9/10 Favorite Tracks: *Wonderwall*, *Some Might Say* Least Favorite: She's Electric, Morning Glory
Oh wait Oasis is really good?
Probably Oasis’ best album and full of great songs. Some smash hits and a couple of hidden gems too. I really enjoyed this one. Their love of the Beatles shows in some of their lyrics is such a treat!
Surprisingly good considering how much I’ve hated wonderwall for the last 5 years
Cannot believe this is 30 years old ... and they are still out there. I guess an OK album, but no wonder there are not may hits from this ... Oh yeah... I haven't heard "Wonderwall" enough in my life!
Great album, almost all songs are memorable hits
Brilliant album, nice to listen to it again
Great album. Great songs. Never as good as they thought they were. Original no, great yes. Three really good albums Definitely, What's the, and B side collection Master plan. My personal favourite Oasis Supersonic, drips with attitude. Saw them live Liam wanted a fight with a member of the audience!
I still own my original CD from '95. This was a nostalgic revisit from 30 years ago. I can still remember jamming out to this on my boombox in my college apartment. Great times and great album.
(What’s the story) morning glory?
Fantastic album, wasn’t a huge fan of Oasis in the 90’s. But looking back they were a real decade defining band!
Oasis so could be better. Surprisingly decent. Ruined by Liam Gallagher, all but one of the good Oasis songs on here
Hello, Don't Look Back in Anger and Morning Glory are all bangers. I even like She's Electric and Some Might Say. But Oasis are mid. The rest of this album is mid. Wonderwall sucks. I'm English so I get to say all this as an authority. 3 stars.
Love, love, love, love, love. My favorite Oasis album. Favorites: Hello, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory Would I listen to it again: Yes
Another round of high-school flashbacks. Solid all around, with clear highlights baked into meme and proper culture.
kind of boring ..? the songs all sounded the same. I liked some tho!
Fantastic. Way better than the other oasis album in here that I listened to
I surely good album
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.
Just boring. Musical beige. I absolutely do not understand the fuss. Not for me.
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.
Was honestly surprised track 3 wasn't my favorite as I listened to the other albums. At some point the album started to blend together so I had to lock in to finish, but overall good album. I'd probably have it in the background for easy listening, anyway here's wonderwall
Classic stadium rock, doesn’t blow me but I can totally hear how crazy something like morning glory would be live
The best Oasis album I've ever heard. Some really amazing songs on this, Wonderwall and DLBA back-to-back is crazy, She's Electric and Champagne Supernova are also perfect tracks. Songs go on a bit too long but overall sound very good. 4.5
I've never really liked Oasis. 3 stars for good pop-rock.
Hello 3.3 Roll with It 3.2 Wonderwall 3.4 Don't Look Back in Anger 4 Hey Now! 3.7 Untitled (also know as "The Swamp Song - Excerpt 1") 3 Some Might Say 3.4 Cast No Shadow 3.3 She's Electric 3.6 Morning Glory 3.5 Untitled (also known as "The Swamp Song - Excerpt 2") 3 Champagne Supernova 3.7 Score: 3.425
Good but man so angsty! Hard to endorse.
Wonderwall by Oasis and Waterfall by The Stone Roses ask the musical question, is she liquid or made of brick? Does anyone care?
Oasis is one of my favourite bands. Do I listen to this album often (not really). I much prefer listening to the albums after this point (the underrated ones). However that’s only because this is such a CLASSIC ALBUM. It can play in my head without the needle even hitting the record. It’s really transcendence Oasis and the band they are. They really made an Album that whether you like the Gallagher brothers or not, it stands on its own two feet “Wonderwall” as I see it Isn’t even an Oasis song, It’s just a HUGE MONSTER HIT OF A SONG. It really doesn’t matter who sings it. It Just happens to be by Oasis The real Oasis is in here though and that’s with the track “Some Might Say”. That is the real Oasis as a band. Not “Wonderwall” , “Don’t Look Back In Anger” or even “Champagne Supernova”. If you want to understand this band it’s in that song and its sound. Uplifting and Pop Rock’n’Roll Also their needs praise to underrated track “Hey Now” Which I feel is the real down and out track here. They never did this type of song again and it needs to be looked at amongst the hits “Cast No Shadow” is another gem of a song .I want played at my funeral and hits me to the emotional core “As They Took His Soul They Stole His Pride”. Simple and direct lyric Really the only song I don’t really care for is “Roll With It” and that’s because it’s kinda irks me. It’s still a catchy track but doesn’t say much! In the end Will I listen to other Oasis albums more ,YES. Is their Debut album “Definitely Maybe” still their best and arguably better , YES. BUT if I had to get someone into Oasis I wouldn’t hesitate to start them here. This maybe the only album someone may like by them. Cause as I said it previously it seems to transcend even the band who made it! 5/5 Classic Album
Up there
One of the best albums of the 90s, hands-down. While Blur won my heart, Oasis deserves all of the respect they get, especially on this record. It's big, anthemic, full of great sing-alongs. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
I do not understand the appeal of this band. It’s borderline corny and is trying to be rock even though it’s clearly pop…. sounds the same to me. Half-screaming vocals, not so great lyrics and the instrumentation is noisy, repetitive guitar shit.
I dunno if I would have done 4* if there wasn’t nostalgia attached to the songs for me. Didn’t realise I knew 50% of the album. Roll with it and morning glory are my faves. (And already known) Shoutout cast no shadow. Listened to first time and made me feel a lot
1 great song, 1 great meme-able song, and the rest is pretty shit.
For the life of me, I do not understand the appeal of this band. Everything sounds the same to me. Half-screaming vocals (the lead's voice is neither pleasant nor interesting); lyrics are mostly dumb, and the instrumentation is noisy, repetitive guitar shit.
Possibly the most iconic record of the 90s period. Definitely the most iconic British record of the 90s anyway. Nothing but hits.
cool
I don't know about this. Obviously, I remember when this album hit and the singles hit you with a sense of nostalgia, some of these songs are absolute bangers if not cheesy for sure. Oasis is maybe the easiest band to goof on, those Gallagher brothers are corny as hell and take themselves so seriously to the point of parody. I wasn't stoked to listen to this, but it was fine, but Oasis is not for me.
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.
Ah, the resurrection of the Beatles. They've been photographed more than Jesus Christ! The hit songs are catchy, but I was never really a fan. She's Electric was a deep cut that I liked. Overall, I'm not a fan of the vocals. He sounds like an annoying British guy yelling at me. Plus, their attitudes are bloody shite. 3.
Pretty decent overall. A lot of the singles are super familiar, of course, but I’ve never really felt emotionally connected to them. That said, the melodies are fairly strong. Vocals were a little whiny or bored-sounding at times (maybe just peak Brit attitude lol). I’d probably land somewhere around 3.5
Never could quite get into these guys. Was always kind of British mopey music to me... kind of just grey rainy skies without much dynamics. Then there was the issue of the two brothers seemingly being assholes.
Classic
Ugh. Like nails on a chalkboard. Whiney, grating nasal lyrics paired with uninspired, cacophany sounds. I suffered through it. You shouldn't have to.
I would've preferred having to listen to "Rockstar" by Nickelback 12 times in a row than this because then at least I would've had a modicum of fun.
The only thing I knew before going into this album is that Wonderwall is over played. I can now see why Oasis was popular and very overplayed
I’ve got such a soft spot for a good 90’s album. Great album start to finish with a bunch of nostalgia mixed in.
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 never understood the hype around this band who thought they were gods but put out mid music at best. Far inferior to Pulp and Blur.
I can’t believe how leaden and “first gear” this album is - even the title track is more pedestrian than I remember it when it came out. There’s nothing here except cheesy parodies of other people’s work, the worst of which results in them providing Gary Glitter with an income. I really thought I’d give this more stars than this.
Masterpiece! I like it. All tracks are amazing!
I would not call this your typical pop rock album because, unlike most pop rock bands, Oasis are at least trying to make something good here. Are they succeeding? Well, yeah? Sort of? This feels like a lesser version of The Smashing Pumpkins' best records: Noisy alt-rock mixed together with quieter, more personal acoustic songs, but with worse riffs, solos, and writing; less eclectic and energetic. This is the kind of album that makes me wish I used the out-of-100 rating system instead. In 95% of the cases, I infinitely prefer the out-of-10 scale because it's the most accurate system I can use without my decision paralysis murdering me. But the gap between scores in it is not narrow enough to describe "this is, like, 10% better than that other album I'd heard." And Morning Glory is about 10% better than an average pop rock album. It's not the most groundbreaking stuff the genre has to offer, but considering the fact that a lot of pop rock is scientifically crafted to be the most mid music humanity could feasibly come up with at that point in history, this is an improvement. A marginal one, but still. It feels like they had some good things going for them—some solid riffs, some catchy choruses—but then a producer came in and said, "What if this 42-year-old Christian stay-at-home mother of two from Birmingham finds this too loud? We can't have that!" and they had to dial it down a little. And this is essentially what holds most of pop back—the fact that the artists are forced to sacrifice creativity in favor of mass appeal because that's what the shareholders want. I can almost assuredly tell you that they’d wanted to go full shoegaze-mode at a couple of points, but the invisible yet powerful hand of Capital said that that way, Wonderwall wouldn’t become every acoustic guitar player’s sleep paralysis demon, so we got what we got. Still, Morning Glory is definitely not the most soulless corporate music I've heard. I think they had good ideas but failed to realize them to their full potential. This is definitely not a bad album, but it feels like it had a solid foundation that went somewhat underutilized. Like I've said before, it's 10% better than an average pop rock album. And since an average pop rock album, in my experience, is around a 6, let's round it up and say this is a 7. But it's a pretty weak 7. 7/10
This is class
today
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!
Nothing less than great!
Never a favourite of mine even if it has a couple of belting tracks on it. Definitely Maybe is still superior
Bueno
Evergreen fantastic songs
Lot of great songs on this album
Pretty good
I make no secret of my distaste for Oasis, but it is largely a distaste for the band itself and I am once again forced to admit this is a good album. It deserves four stars but I'm deducting a star because they're just bloody irritating.
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
A classic that I could listen to over and over again.
yet another victim of 'album on the list because of one famous song.' wonderwall isn't even that good
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!
One of the greatest albums EVER.
Mega classic. One of the easiest albums to pick a favorite track from on this list so far. Favorite track: Champagne Supernova
10
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.
Absolute top-tier album from a top-tier rock outfit. One of the all-time greats. The whole 50 minutes and 6 seconds remains a treat to this day. I’m still hopeful I’ll stumble upon tickets to this year’s tour.
One of the best albums of all time! Top song on there is definitely 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. Will absolutely add this to my playlist!!!
a classic for a reason and it’s fun to notice how their sound has influenced other bands I love. I can see how it might not be for everyone but you’re guaranteed to find at least two songs that you’d enjoy listening to on this album. I wouldn’t say it has no skips as some songs stand out a lot more than others but it’s overall a well made album
I hate that I liked this as much as I did. And Man City sucks!
SLEPT ON.
Feb 24 2025 (Mon) | Day 1 - Bit samey - Know most tunes - Balamory ?? - Fav song: Champagne Supernova #1990s #1995 #spotify #'25 #feb '25 [3.5*]
Listened to the deluxe remastered edition. I remember a lot of the big singles. Still hold up really well. Some of the other tracks are just kinda mediocre. Found myself liking more of the b sides and demos and live stuff. Showed a bit more levity and experimentation that the original album didn’t let shine because it was so focused on one kind of sound.
this album is everything. to me.
Pretty good. Liked several of the songs.
Oasis... Not my favorite pop rock band, but I know they've got a couple of solid hits. Roll With It was ok, but not memorable. Understandable why it didn't get radio play. Wonderwall. The most OVERPLAYED song on the album. So whiny. Don't Look Back in Anger. Good song. Cast No Shadow is pretty good, should have gotten more attention. Lyrics are interesting, tune is catchy. Morning Glory was pretty good as well. Champagne Supernova, the first tune I actually heard from Oasis. I remember seeing the music video on MTV, back when they actually played music. Decent enough song. All in all, good album. Oasis never caught me as a band that I wanted to give a relisten, but they weren't a band I couldn't stand listening to again. My Rating: 3/5
Oasis classics
Not really my vibe but I understand why there was appeal.
Well, it's rock. Cool melodies, beautiful vocals, and a singing style reminds me of Twenty One Pilots. From 3.5 to 4
less whiny than usual
Three undeniably great songs. Two or three good songs. The rest is mostly decent filler. I was 14 when this was released. I didn't really get it then. I maybe get it a little more now. I still think this might be one of the most overrated albums (and bands, especially by the band members themselves) of all time. People are seriously comparing this to the Beatles? I mean, come on!
Endlich wieder Rock! Klingt nach 30 Jahren immer noch frisch und aktuell!
Already listened to it many times. Iconic and classic.
Classic 👌
I honestly don’t get the hype with these at all. I respect that they captured an era, and that people love them for it, but their songs do nout for me. I remember seeing an interview with the Gallaghers where the interviewer was asking them about the meaning behind their songs. Noel looked stumped and Liam replied ‘theyre just tunes arent they’. Kinda sums them up for me that
What an album, surely the best britpop album. They quite rightly released half of it as singles, and the album tracks are much better than definitely maybe. Morning glory probably my favourite oasis song. Terrible lyrics still, though the music is so good it hides this problem. Repeatedly there will be a great line followed by nonsense. Champagne supernova suffers the most from this, it's such an anthem it deserves better than the cannonball line. Still, overall, absolute classic.
I was a bit too young for Britpop - I know the main Oasis songs, like every normal Manc, but I don't have an emotional connection to the music. Having said that, belting album. Sure, lyrically nonsense, but pretty revolutionary, "loud", and exciting. Better than Definitely, Maybe. I don't think I knew Hello before listening to this album, listened to it quite a few times now. Nothing more to say that hasn't already been said more eloquently by others.
Album that came out when I was 9? It's the first album I can remember people at school talking about....I distinctly remember not knowing what they were on about and feeling left out.... Anyway, it's huge and it defines the britpop era for me. Yes, often the lyrics are nonsensical and are just there because they rhyme. Yes, they use the same trick and inflection in almost every song. Yes, they are imitating the Beatles. But it doesn't matter, the songs are anthemic and this album is class 5
A very comprehensive compilation of what makes 90s rock so great. The harmonies are moving, the instrumentation is technical, and the emotions are real. There are too many great songs on this album to count. From the opening track, the listener is hooked and wants the fun and marvel to last forever. All of the songs deliver, with some taking you to ecstasy, and others leaving you in a dream state. The true triumph of this album, though, is 'Don't Look Back in Anger', which may be one of the best songs to capture the feeling of pure euphoria. Not a single bad track is to be found in Morning Glory, and it has secured its legendary status for a reason.
Struggling to have an opinion
Pretty similar to the previous Oasis album, which was good, but the vocals on this one were easier on the ears. Reminds me a bit of Stone Roses. Low 5.
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.
I like britpop. Oasis is very good. I’ve listened to like 4 albums today. I’m going to bed
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 .
BEST SONGS: - Wonderwall - Hey Now - Untitled
I really connected with the debut album and at the time I preferred it to this one. But, start to finish, this is a fantastic album. No filler. Yes, it was everywhere. And yes it was/is overplayed, as were the numerous covers of Wonderwall, but it is timeless and up there with the best from the Beatles and the Stones.
Classic record. Songs that remind me of being a kid and discovering my own taste in music.
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
Oasis were the apotheosis of 90’s lad culture, swaggering and boorish and utterly convinced of their own greatness. They’d obviously grown up listening to Revolver on repeat and did a pretty good job of channelling some of the energy and attitude of that era, if not the musical or lyrical ability. One of the major problems I have listening back is the way that the sound is so compressed to seem louder. I can imagine them in the studio asking the technicians to turn everything up to 11. Blur were better.
It's a decent album, but the sound is honestly not good (there's no room for breathing, I really dislike this kind of claustrophobic production), the music is OK but far too hyped, the brothers are assholes -- who think they are revolutionized music whereas they just found a way of pleasing a large audience without reinventing anything (doesn't mean the music is not good, but give a break, it's not mindblowing), and only Corgan sings worst than Liam. Blur was better!
This is going to sound really dumb, but I had no idea how good Oasis was. What a fantastic album. No wonder they're so popular.
I honestly don’t get the hype about this band. I think they’re so overrated. They have some beautiful songs too in particular on this album but overall they’re pretty boring, but they do give a great interview.
Cast No Shadow is a little underrated; never really thought too much of this song until now. Great album, though I can see the criticism of it just being one big wall of sound. However, it’s just so ingrained as a classic in my eyes I can’t give it anything but a 5. Can’t wait to see these two absolutely kill one another live on stage in 2025.
If you don’t like at least a few of the songs on here I diagnose you as ignorant 5/5
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.
Classic, very nostalgic.
I've never liked Oasis. I've always thought they were boring, bland, Beatles rip-offs. Probably doesn't help that both Gallaghers are bellends and so many young guys around me growing up acted like Liam clones Given those 2 are such provocative arseholes you'd think their music would have a bit of bite to it but it's so tame. Hello is the closest it gets to having any grit, and Roll With It is a decent follow up but the album just becomes so bland after that. It's not terrible music, but I just find it so uninteresting During Don't Look Back In Anger, I reminisced on when I played in a band at uni. We played a variety of alt rock and heavy metal and thought we needed a crowd pleaser, so started rehearsing that one off the cuff. Maybe halfway through, everyone stopped all at once and agreed it was boring, and it was immediately dropped. Haven't changed my thoughts 6 years later Boring laddy pub rock dross. 2.5 Highlights: Hello, Roll With It
The deeper cuts are enjoyable but man do I hate the singles from this album.
Oasis was originally The Shitty Beatles in Wayne's World. I cannot get into this record, and the production is terrible. I tried to listen with my stereo and headphone rig, but it sounded terrible all the way around. Oasis is another band that is praised for various reasons but at the end of the day; it is trite shite; Oasis blows ass because they suck, it is that simple. 1995 had three records not on the list, and all three are essential. Death - Symbolic, Neil Young - Mirror Ball, Three 6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane Primus - Tales from the Punchbowl Sonic Youth - Washing Machine Mobb Deep - The Infamous Ruins - Hyderomastgroningem
Bissi das gleiche immer
I would have given this a 5 but unfortunately today I have a policy of ‘Dynamic Rating’, so it’s just going to be a 3. And if anyone asks me about it, I’ll say I didn’t know it was happening, even though that would make me - in the words of Robert Smith - ‘fucking stupid or a liar’.
Had obviously already listened to it but hard to give it anything other than a 5. Iconic songs and a great sound
Classic
Banger, banger, banger ........ 5
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.
Should’ve listened to this more in high school. Good stuff. Outside the “singles” it’s truly solid all the way around.
A britpop classic. Heavy on guitars and noisy. Opening song was middling. Roll with It had a Beatles influence.And no matter how much the internet hates Wonderwall, it's still a great song. And Don't Look Back in Anger is greater. And Hey Now was beautiful too. The interludes felt unnecessary. Morning Glory had a sing-along anthemic vibe. But the real star of the album is the gorgeous ballad Champagne Supernova. Great vocals by Liam. Such a bittersweet way to end an album. Still, since I don't find Britpop interesting, I'll give it a 3.
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.
From the reviews here it seems like a lot of people get physically ill at the thought of Oasis but I don't get it. I was around 10 when this came out, an age when I watched a fair amount of MTV and listened to a fair amount of alternative radio so there's definitely a halo of nostalgia at play here, but to me Morning Glory is an excellent album that's aged really well. Back in the 90s I would've only known the singles - mainly "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," and "Champagne Supernova" - but a couple years ago I listened to the full thing. It's a 5-star album for me, easy, and "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" are both 5-and-a-half star tracks. It's got some other bangers outside the singles too. I like "She's Electric," even if the lyrics are admittedly a little goofy or lazy. "Some Might Say" is solid. And even on the lesser tracks on the album, I'm always feeling the music. It's just good clean work with brilliant hooks. I've realized that "sing-a-long-ability" is an important trait for me - the more fun something is to sing (even later when the music's no longer playing), the better a song's chances are of hitting the upper tiers of my personal ratings; Morning Glory scores really well on that metric. Anyway, here's "Wonderwall."
Too long cut some fat off. Too many repeated choruses
The sound of my early teenage years. There's no way this is going to be in any way an objective review of the music. Of the 3 big hits, I never really "got" wonderwall, but Don't look back in anger and Champagne supernova are such great tracks.
honestly i enjoyed this more than i thought i would. i definitely liked don't look back in anger, also (oops) wonderwall, morning glory, and champagne supernova. however, i guess it wasn't the most adventurous album and some of the tracks sounded a bit too similar so it gets a bit tired at times?
Decent vibes, britpop rock album, but nth special wonderwall is kinda underwhelming Dont look back in anger is a great classic. I also like hey now!
And suddenly i’m 13 again 🤪 Luv luv this album I was going to put all my favs but I fear I love every song
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)
Mid
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.
I’m familiar with the singles on this, and love them all. I’m excited to listen to the rest of the album. So far Hello and Roll With It are great. Don’t Look Back in Anger is one of my favorite songs of all-time. All of these songs are good. Great album.
Seeing that this is the album that contains Wonderwall, I immediately expected another dud today, but I was pleasantly suprised! I guess I had never heard any other Oasis song besides Wonderwall. Even though the general theme is largely the same, mellow singing about love and stuff, I was suprised by the dynamic range of these songs, and some of them had pretty interesting melodies. Still not my cup of tea, but I wouldn't mind it in the background. ...except for Wonderwall though. I hate that song.
👍🏼
The hype for Oasis when this came out was crazy from what remember. Biggest thing since the Beatles and what not. There are some amazing tracks on here but obviously the legacy didn't quite pan out all these years later. However, last o heard a reunion was actually in the works so the story is not done yet! For this listen I tried to focus on things I hadn't noticed before like the guitar in "Don't look back in anger" made me want to find a copy of Rock Band and play along with a plastic guitar. Not sure if that song was released for it, but it probably was. More hits on here than I realized, and it's still a good listen almost 30 years later. Between Oasis and Blur the 90s really had a good Britpop thing going. I am pretty sure I gave Parklife a 5 so I gotta do that for this one as I think it may even be a tad better in terms of high quality tracks there are like 3-4 that would compete for my favorite here. Favorite track "Don't look back in Anger" 5/5
Solid.
iwnejwndkwlwkwksm i don’t have the time to truly listen and enjoy this album because i’m not home home right now. my dad loves oasis, of course i grew up with this band, this album in particular. my thoughts? i guess you really need to be in the mood to be able to enjoy this i guess. i’d be pissed off if this was playing in the car if i was in a bad mood. overall, it’s good, but is it THAT good? totally subjective. to me, it’s just okay
oasis literally made my fucking life i just love them i have no words to describe how perfect this album is 6/5 cheers x
Great album at the time. Great sing-a-long tunes. But can’t make it through the whole album anymore- the songs sound a bit the same and lead singer’s voice a bit whiney in my ears (Noel or Liam - i forget)
Feels top heavy at first with Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, but I ended up liking the album cut Hey Now! and Some Might Say. Not sure either song needed to be 5-6 minutes long, but Cast No Shadow is better, softer and with a genuine warmth to it. She's Electric is pretty good and the title track is kind of iconic, so maybe I was wrong. Champagne Supernova to finish. Go on then.
The only problem with this album is that wonderwall is overplayed
I was pleasantly surprised by this album, while it still feels like generic britpop. A fun listen though!
Hate the Gallaghers, Love Oasis
I fucking hate oasis Middle finger x3 emoji 1.5
Populist masterclass. And who am I to judge? Noel is some musician. Liam is some bollocks but can sing a damn tune. Fucking brilliant. Listened to this on the quais of the Seine, a little drunk after having two shitty French beers. Felt like an absolute madlad, playing the air drums, air guitar, and singing in Liam's odd stance. Champagne Supernova ended when I was on Pont Neuf, looking at the Louvre. I saluted the place, while paying my respect to this fine piece of art
Good album poorly recorded. Great songs
Greaat english vibes! Fan of Oasis since 14!
At least one of the tracks on this album was a radio hit when it was released, and maybe more. I viewed Oasis as a good band which made a big splash because of their lifestyle and clever marketing. Overall a good album but nothing that stands out to me. Three stars.
Like the Beatles, Oasis is currently having a major cultural renaissance in my peer group, so this is well-timed for me. Seeing 'Gary Glitter' as a writer for the first song was (yet another) 1001 albums "oh no" moment, but fear not, it was only the one song. I like the album cover. The songs themselves are fine, but I think Blur won the Britpop battle of my heart. Liam does sound remarkably John Lennon-y though, which is fun. Noel sounds more 90s to me. This has been my Oasanalysis. Highlights: 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger', 'Champagne Supernova' (duh), 'Morning Glory' (they say the album name !)
Truly an excellent album. Yes, the Gallagher brothers seem like absolutely awful human beings. But that doesn't affect my appreciation of how excellent this album is from start to finish.
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
I liked the instrumentals to this album, though the vocals were hit or miss. Wouldn't listen to it again on my own, but not too bad. Rating: ✦✦✦✧✧ Playlist Additions: Champagne Supernova - Shower Playlist Don't Look Back In Anger & Some Might Say - Experimental Playlist
It's fine, not that special
Oi, wat u lookin’ at mate? Dis album iz a bloody classic an if u don’t agree I’ll punch ya in ur fookin mouf!
You can say they're lame all you want but you can't deny that this is catchy as hell. Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova are all such clear radio hits. It's a bit muted sounding at times but there's some talent and creativity here. Not my favourite. Makes sense to be on the list. I hope we don't get a ton of Oasis.
This production is very much lacking a dynamic sound. Wonderwall. I kind of like Don't Look Back in Anger, but still over compressed. I think I've always liked the title track, tho a little long. I'm not sure where I heard most of this album but I remember listening to Champagne Super Nova in the back of a 1970s van on a road trip to Quebec. I liked the vibe of the song. This stuff went on to become a bit of a joke and there are quite a few duds on here, but I get why it was big at the time.
4/1089 The start of the loudness wars. It's adequate. It was refreshing when Noel sang one of the songs instead of Liam.
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
Simply put one of the best records to come out of the 90s. Long live Oasis!
I did not expect to love this album as much as I would. I also didn't know all of the songs I already knew. It is by far my favorite album in this project. such a passionate and fun loving energy throughout the album, but not without substance. so good.
Very nice songs
I recognize the importance of this record, but I find the songs annoying.
best suggestion yet
**BRITSLOP BOSS BATTLE** Wow, I actually didn't hate this. There was a few songs I enjoyed, but a lot that I couldn't care less for. My main gripe with this record is how fucking boring it is. After the """"hits"""" - I'd genuinely pay money to never have to hear that song again - it really doesn't get interesting, in fact the opposite. Mediocre and monotone singing, boring ass Britpop guitars, nothing fun about it at all. Boooooring.
If this is supposed to be the face of this obnoxious, bowl cut laden genre then I just don't think it is for me
This is the musical equivalent of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The use of the A-bomb demonstrated the inhumanity and destructive force that man could wield against man, inspiring decades of reckless arms races and the ever looming threat of nuclear holocaust, whereas the release of Oasis’ biggest album was an example of the inhumanity and destructive force that the British could wield against music, inspiring decades of reckless imitation by the most annoying people to ever live, and the ever looming threat of Britpop becoming popular again.
Any alright songs on this album are nearly all ruined by the dowager vocalist. Especially noticeable on morning Glory and Champagne supernova 4/10 Fav tracks - Don't look back in Anger, Hey Now
The opening track on this album has a writing credit to Gary Glitter. It is also probably the only song on this album where the lyrics are not just word salad. This VERY beloved album is very much a reflection of the UK at the time, a lot of good vibes and boisterousness obscuring a whole lot of nothing (Oasis predicted Tony Blair). No song on this album means anything apart from the title track which is just about doing cocaine in the morning - the closest the album comes to a single coherent thought which is impressive as I am convinced that Liam Gallagher has not fired a single synapse in his life. I am fortunate to have avoided consciously listening to Oasis until a few years ago so I do not have a great nostalgia for this album as many people do. When I first listened to Oasis I made a concerted effort to listen to all their albums and watch the doco Supersonic to see what all the fuss was about. Listening to this again, I realise that I only remember a handful of songs here mainly because those same songs are so ubiquitous in public probably as part of some Malthusian government scheme to export English depression around the world to convince people to commit suicide en masse. The Brothers Gallagher are often noted for their reverence of the Beatles and specifically John Lennon. This is reflected in their music because they have guitars and drums and stuff and Liam wears round sunglasses. The only thing that these bands have in common is a working class background and their 'rivalry' with a band with a more refined/university educated/wanker background (who are arguably better) in the form of The Rolling Stones/Blur. To quote Marx, “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce." The album is okay, I would listen to the highlights again but the filler here is awful and I cannot say this about many songs, but I genuinely hate Wonderwall and if there is a god, Noel and Liam Gallagher will replace Judas and Brutus in the mouth of satan in the 9th circle of hell for betraying humanity. Everytime some LOVELY PERSON plays Wonderwall at a house party, this is the mental image that helps me cope with being subjected to what could honestly be considered a musical hate crime. Just as LSD and pot were integral in the creative boom of music in the 60s and 70s; methamphetamine was responsible saving the world and totally ruining Oasis' American tour, thereby saving our universe from a dark future where these cunts were popular all over the world and not just Austerity Island. 'Where were you while we were getting high?' fortunate enough to not have been born for the cultural mass hysteria that was Oasis' peak fame. Highlights: Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova
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.
Just not overwhelmed by these guys. The album‘s too long and the songs all start to sound the same.
I enjoyed this album. A good mix of new to me and Nostalgia. Easy to listen to.
Not my fav oasis album but definitely a staple sound of my childhood. Brings me back to car rides with my dad playing some might say off his iPod classic (with the touch wheel). She's Electric, Roll With It, Some Might Say, Morning Glory are my favorite tracks in no particular order.
Love this album
own
Kings of Britpop say no more. Music legends. Their best album next to Be Here Now
Крутой альбом
Pure genius
To jest bardzo dobry album, ale nie w moim stylu. Indie rock mnie nuży, ma dla mnie płaskie brzmienie, dźwięki zlewające się w jedno nieprzerwane buczenie. Praktycznie wszystkie utwory są chwytliwe i jestem w stanie zrozumieć fenomen tego zespołu. "Wonderwall" to imo bardzo dobry utwór, szkoda, że został tak doszczętnie zmemiony. "Don't Look Back in Anger", "Morning Glory", "Some Might Say" jakoś najbardziej zapadły mi w pamięć i to są imo świetne stand alone kawałki. Ale nie sądzę, bym miał jeszcze kiedyś ochotę na godzinę tego ciurkiem. Jak ktoś puści, to posłucham. 3,5/5, były momenty, kiedy rozważałem czwórkę, ale to by nie było szczere.
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
Absolutely packed with hits. I'm not a big Oasis fan, but this was such a good album.
Gracias hermanos Gallagher por la magia <3
Still don't really understand all the hoop and holler over this band. They're okay, I guess.
No matter how many Wonderwall memes I hear, and despite this not being an album I revisit often, I do have a soft place in my heart for the nostalgia it evokes and consider it timeless. Don’t Look Back in Anger will always provide that nostalgic ache that I can’t describe, and She’s Electric will always make me want to dance.
Si pudiera usar un sistema del 1 al 10, lo calificaría con un 9, porque no considero que sea perfecto... sin embargo, dentro del sistema 1 a 5, está más cerca de ser un 5 que un 4. Me gusta mucho el britpop y la verdad es que este disco en particular pasa a ser automáticamente de mis favoritos.
Utter Crap. Massively overrated band. Whiney, grating voices. Blur were much better.
I like this all the way through, it's got the energy of the first record and isn't afraid to show the band's soft side with lighter songs. Yes they're joked about for their attitude and people find the songs a little corny but I like this album a lot, it's consistently great throughout and each song having it's own merits.
The mixing / mastering of this album makes it borderline unlistenable
I might give this a 4.5, but I do think it holds up and is a fun album. I didn't even like Oasis at the time, but I have grown to appreciate them. What they lack in subtlety or even some amount of experimentation, they make up for in solid songwriting and just being able to piece together songs that fit together completely from every aspect of the band and sound.
Better than I expected. Just a solid rock album.
It's a 'me' problem - the songwriting is undeniable, I just personally hate that sound. Sorry Oasis fans. I always was a Pulp girl.
Despite the best efforts of Cast No Shadow to drag the album down, this is five stars. Too many bangers.
I fucking hate wonderwall with a passion.
A few great songs, need to like this album
Almost a 5, but not quite there yet. 4.5
this album is fine
Catchy songs, hate the bands culture and don't particularly enjoy listening to them
Fantabulous. Way more amazing songs than expected
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
I listened to this whole album in the morning, and there was nothing glorious about it. The album is carried by one big hit, and it wasn't much of an oasis. The singing reminds me of a cringy teen male. Favorite Track: "Wonderwall".
You never forget your first musical love. When it's this good why would you even want to?
Definitely, Maybe it's sacrilegious to say (What's the Story) Morning Glory is an easier pill to swallow for a non-fan, but I think it is. It'll never be one of my desert island albums but it's a more approachable oasis.
Love this one.
Reminds me of my childhood and my friend making a mixtape with Oasis on it.
Oasis rules
No
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
Already love this album. I guess I never really listened to the whole thing before. It’s good but “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova” are two of my all time favorite songs.
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!
I prefer the disc 2, but i am however not a fan of this album (or Oasis in general?). The singer’s vocals irritate me a little bit and the melody is imo all over the place, as are some lyrics that feel really forced and thoughtless. I liked some of the songs but not many
Still an exceptional recording, with so many great (now classic) tunes.
The Brother's Gallagher can eat chode, but Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, and Roll With It are not bad.
I wasn't super excited for this to be the first album and I wasn't paying a ton of attention, but there are a lot more songs on this album that I recognized than I realized. Forgot how much I like Don't Look Back in Anger.
between this and definitely maybe for their best. good album some skips.. whole thing turned to shit after this record.
I really enjoyed this album. Wonderwall is definitely the best known song on here, but it is far from the only one worth listening to. 5/5
Wonderwall album. Fine listen. Inoffensive rock.
I honestly think I just don’t care about britpop. The entire time listening to Champagne Supernova I could only think of Red Wine Supernova and the references Chappel Roan made to this song. This is my second Oasis album in the 13 albums I’ve rated and both times I just kinda went “eh” both times.
A solid album. I give it 3.5
Really hit me on Album 100 with "anyway here's Wonderwall" lol. Its a fine album, good even. It is dwarfed and failed by its own hype though. Imagine someone telling you this was the next Beatles.
Super fun and great energy. If a bit cliche and wannabe edgy
I SAID MAYBE
Never considered myself an Oasis fan really, but all my favorite tracks by the band are straight off this album. There's a little filler but it's pretty much a flawless record. Maybe more like a 4.5, but I'm rounding up here. 5 stars.
Perfect album.
Yawn 🥱
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.
I didn't hate this as much as I expected to! I don't know why, but every Oasis song I've heard up to now is usually aggravating. However, this album had a couple songs on it that were merely mostly annoying. Congratulations.
I never listened to this whole album. I'd say that you don't actually need to listen to the whole album--if you've heard the hits off this record, the rest of it sounds like a rehash/retread of those songs, with potentially more moronic lyrics (She's got a sister/ And God only knows how I've missed her/ And on the palm of her hand is a blister). Coupled with Noel Gallagher's massive ego, this is a total pass for me. I listened to the whole thing (so this would rank it potentially higher than Kid Rock's "Devil Without a Cause"), and it definitely defined the sound of 1990s Britpop, but if I never hear it again, it would be too soon. It's not bad enough to be on my personal soundtrack in hell, so I guess that makes it a 2, though it's properly a 1.5 (for me, dawg).
Yeah, it is one of the most iconic albums of all time, but fuck me those lyrics are dodgy. Even as a teen I saw right through that faux poetic nonsense. Some massive tracks on here though. A grumpy and grudging five.
If you want an album of ballads you've come to the right place
The singles ("Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger") are great. The other songs varied between enjoyable and too loud. I think with a few more listens it could be a 4.
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.
I don't like Oasis, I don't like the Gallagher brothers, I don't like that the band is held up as the gold standard of a genre I am very much fond of... Champagne Supernova is good though innit?
First heard this album when Daryl Ford lent me a copy in grade 5. Sadly (and somewhat surprisingly) I didnt really appreciate it beyond Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. Turns out 10 year old me had bad taste because this album is awesome (but I can’t stand wonderwall anymore after hearing it a million times). They hit the cocaine/arrogance sweet spot before they went off the rails on the next album.
4.6 I once went to a Oasis tribute band show and they played wonderwall 3 times during the night, which was, at the very least, 2 times to many. That being said there are too many non-wonderwall burners on this to not give it a 5 star.
Tired old pub rock.
THE album of my early teenage years, the first album I bought myself with my own money. I listened to it the whole way through, on repeat, for months, and even managed to wear out the CD - which shouldn't really be possible. An album where I know every cough, every seagull noise, every burst of radio static, and every note of every song. And even after all those listens, I was excited to have it pop up to listen to again. If this is my final album (and it's pretty close if not), I can't think of a better album to finish up with.
Oasis — what’s the story morning glory It’s decent. Very catchy lyrics and great guitar riffs. Wonderwall is just unreal. Timeless song. Good thing there’s more carrying this album than just that one song though. Don’t Look Back in Anger is solid too. It has a lot of heart of sleeve feelings. And kinda of reminds me of grunge but set in the UK. Same with Hey Now. Overall this album sets a great tone for a busy day walking around London. Has some elements of trip hop in Wonderwall. Some Might Say is very retail store l music. Which I guess back then wouldn’t really be played at Target but I can see it now. I think what they capture really well is just a positive, happy day, “it’ll get better” type of mentality. It’s uplifting 3/5 Nothing crazy but not awful Favorite songs: Wonderwall Don’t Look Back in Anger Cast No Shadow
Sometimes. You’ve heard about an album your entire life, sometimes, said album is one of your dad’s favorite albums, sometimes, said album is lauded as one of the greatest albums of all time, sometimes, said album is made by two British asshole brothers. Sometimes, you come in with low expectations when listening to something that’s universally beloved, maybe just to be a contrarian, maybe because you dislike the people who made it, maybe because you don’t think it’ll live up to the hype. Sometimes.. people get things right, and sometimes universally beloved albums are good. Sometimes they’re one of the best albums you’ve ever heard.
It's pleasant but I never fully bought into Brit Pop. It's good but it doesn't make my heart move one way or another.
What is there to say? A whole album of rippers. Sounds incredibly lush and full. There just aren’t many records that are this fun to sing along with.
Some Might Say - this is Oasis’ best album This album is quintessentially Oasis. Everything is awash in that gritty rock sound without getting so muddy that you can’t pick out identify anything. The songs that take a bit of a step back from that still feel Oasis thanks to Liam and Noel’s very distinct singing styles, and I think the album flows well between the very driving crunchy songs and the more relaxed consumer friendly tracks. I don’t know if anything about them is really reinventing any wheels, but they just have a certain energy to them that draws me to them. It really is music for people who romanticize smoking cigs, and that’s rock and roll. Favorite - She’s Electric
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.
Stupidly good Britpop
ingenting man ligger och tänker på när man ska somna, men jävligt stabilt album
Många sjukt bra låtar! Älskar gitarrerna. Men några fillers
Hello: Love the guitar, nice sound, like this guys voice. ITS NEVER GUNNA BE THE SAME! Ya this was great. Roll With It: I really like this guys voice, I actually think he has a great range. Love the chorus here, totally getting the vibe, super nice, very similar to the first song but I like it. Is that cowbell I hear in the background? Ya this is a great song. Super fun. Wondereall: Yup… work of art. Don’t Look Back In Anger: Nice and slow tempo, following in the steps of wonderwall, great bridge. Loving their slow stuff a bit more than their more fast paced work. I HEARD YOU SAAaaayyyy. Great lyrics. Wow this was a great song. Love the ending of this song. Hey Now!: I really like the story telling in this song. I feel like this album is so easy to listen to, it’s such a reliable feeling, if they continue with this vibe and this stamina with the lyrics and instrumentals and the build up, you can tell there will be very few skips on this album. Great song! The Swamp Song - Version 1: Woah faster pace, loving this guitar and just the supporting instrumentals, so good. Oh that’s it… ok skip… only bc it’s not a song, still very good, but logically a skip :( Some Might Say: Yep continuing that same vibe, so fun. I really like this, I’m curious if they keep this up in their following albums, I mean I know oasis is super famous but I doubt they keep this momentum bc I feel like I’d know them more, but I could be very wrong here. Great lyrics, super fun song. Oh and cool effects. YOU KNOW WHAT SOME MAY SAY! Cast No Shadow: Oh ya liking this already, LOVE THESE LIKE MAGICAL INSTRUMENTALS. Wow I did not expect this from them. Wow this is like probably my favorite song so far on the album, ya this is sweet, absolutely fantastic. She’s Electric: Yup, just great story telling, woah that falsetto! Ya this is great. I thought this was going to be a more generic telling of a rock romance kind of song but it was totally different than my expectations, super well made. Loved the ending, great song. Morning Glory: Oh boy it’s the album name it better be good. Oh ya, these effects and guitars, yuppppp. Wow this song felt pretty different than all the others, it almost feels like I’m listening to this live, it feels so alive, and I really like that feeling. The most different on the album so far and I really liked it. The Swamp Song - Version 2: Yup like the first, just kinda there, a skip :( Champagne Supernova: Oh wow slower, which is exciting because I think they thrive here. Oh I know this one, ya this is a classic, idk if I ever associated this song with oasis, but I’m happy I have a name for the face. Ya this is great, just a great way to close out an album, clearly taking its victory lap. Well deserved, and in doing this it is still one of the strongest pieces to the album. So so so good. Amazing background vocals, killer guitar, arguably the best on the album. FINAL IMPRESSIONS: Jeez. Like many other albums I am reviewing and have yet to review, I’ve always knew the name oasis, I knew Wonderwall, but never explored what Oasis had to give. Clearly I was wrong for not looking into their music, they are experts at their craft and I hope that this sticks in their other music. They clearly struck gold on this one. I loved how well they were able to adapt to a slow and fast tempo, I found myself gravitating towards their slower stuff but it was all great. Incredibly impressed, they will end up in my playlists, this was another flawless album. I could not have died without listening to this album.
Great album. Enjoyed every sog.
I’ve been meaning to get into these guys for a while and I’m so glad I did this challenge and they came up third. Perfect evolution of the Beatles in the grunge era. I hate those Brits but they make rock and roll happen. perfect perfect perfect CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOOOVEEERRRRRR
Some bits interesting but not a big fan
God I hate this band. Genuinely never understood the appeal. It’s just generic, loud, whiny and boring. Honestly, all their shit sounds the same. Shallow shit tracks.
i did not think i would love it as much as i did! 10/10!
Pretty good. Several very familiar songs.
Don’t get me wrong, first 2 albums are great then it goes a bit wrong…. Lucky then that’s this is the 2nd one and there are some belters on here. Unfortunately I find his voice at times a little annoying. Hence the 4 and not 5. Ps 1st album is better…..
a fun and enjoyable brit rock album with elements of alternative rock, grunge, and singer songwriter that maintains a playful energy throughout despite touching on heavy topic matter. Ultimately leaves you with a feeling of nostalgia and somewhat peaceful at the end.
i gotta give em credit, starting with a wonderwall fakeout is very funny
wait... what? MORNING GLORY? TWO OASIS ALBUM IN A ROW? THAT'S SOME TRUE BIBLICAL MOMENT! but anyway, today is gonna be the day that i rate my second oasis album on the list. there's no need for me to say too much about this album. it's biblical. I love it so much that I even went to Berwick Street myself and took photos in the location of the album cover last year, when I was travelling in UK. maybe I'm going to do it again this winter. Liam's voice is at somehow a peak. "Hello" is a good opening. "Roll With It" is full of attitude. "Don't Look Back in Anger" remains classic. "Hey Now" is top nonsense. "Some Might Say" has a philosophical lyric. "Champagne Supernova" is epic. "She's Electric" probably stole from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", but it's ok. "Cast No Shadow" is interesting storytelling. "Morning Glory" was featured at the beginning of "Acquiesce", which is my favourite Oasis track. so is there something missing out, apart from "Bonehead's bank holiday"? yeah. (took out guitar) (put capo on the second fret) Anyway... Here's Wonderwall. 5/5
Favourite songs: Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Some Might Say, Morning Glory, Roll With It, Hello, Cast No Shadow Least favourite songs: The Swamp Song 5/5
Was still a fan of these at this point, and really liked this record, moreso than the debut. Roll With It was always shit though, Oasis at their most obviously Status Quo. Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and Cast No Shadow still stand up however, ridiculously bad lyrics aside. To be fair I do forget this is actually good, given the absolute torrent of tripe that came after and for the next 30 years in various projects. The signs were there though, there's some shite here. Hey Now contains about 30 seconds worth listening to, Noel clearly riffed the rest and thought that'll do. And he was proved right, there's a lot of people out there who'll swallow that kind of effortless shit. I understand people like She's Electric, I'm not one of those people, and I also think it's badly sequenced and takes the shine off the better, more melancholy side B by being plonked in between two downbeat songs. I went to see them at Maine Road, with my love just starting to wane. I had a great day out and the Manics in support (the Manics and the Mancs - arf!) were extremely good, after that though, I was out, on to pastures new and far more interesting, and left Oasis in the dust. I hadn't noticed the One I Love riff nicked wholesale in the title track before. Haha, what a shameless magpie Noel is.
So loud.
The hits are as good as Brit pop gets. The filler tracks are still very solid
Fine. 90s rock. This would probably be more meaningful to me if I'd been in high school or college in the 90s.
rachel chinouriri is better
I was kind of dreading listening to this one, Wonderwall has been played to the point of pure annoyance and I was worried the rest of the album was going to be as annoying. I was so wrong, man now I get why people love Oasis
Dang it, I like an Oasis album. My friend Nick of Moral Injury was right in saying I'd prefer the back half.
Only recently was able to appreciate this band and album. Honestly can’t get enough now. They deserve all the hype they get.
At the very least, if nothing else positive can be said about perhaps the peak of obnoxiousness in musical and human form, this album of theirs was actually pretty good.
It’s so familiar and I feel so fucking annoyed about it as I can’t listen to objectively. I liked the non singles but I don’t really ever want to hear Roll With It ever again.
Ég er með skrítna fordóma gagnvart Oasis. Ég var meiri Oasis aðdáandi en Blur þegar það var einhver Britkeppni á milli þeirra en ég var samt búinn að ákveða að ég hlyti samt að ekki fíla Oasis. Bara hin ögin sem ég heyrði aldrei. Kemur í ljós að þessi plata er bara algjörlega frábær. Fyrirgefið mér Oasis
It's good. Wonderwall is a classic, but the other songs are really good too :)
Amazing!!!
