Definitely Maybe

Overplayed and a bit whiny in places

I liked Live Forever and Cigarettes & Alcohol, but to me a lot of the album got repetitive and just sort of background music.

The first album from Oasis. I've got to say that the second one, (What's the story) Morning Glory, is a lot better. There's a few good songs on this album such as Live Forever and Supersonic but overall every song just blends together and there's not really anything that sticks out.

Was zwischen 3 und 4. Tendiere zu 3, da es irgendwann immer das selbe Prinzip vom Songwriting her ist. Hat aber definitiv ein paar gute Momente.

Nostalgia. I remember it being better.

Some solid tracks where the whine was dialed down. Overall, their best moments were overshadowed by their worst.

Not as good as Morning Glory, but pretty good album 4 "Live Forever" was the early wonderwall. 3

I like that old style of genre. Beginning of the album is a time stamp to that era

One of the better Britpop albums that I’ve had the misfortune of coming across on the generator so far, which isn’t saying much really. File under: another one of those albums that I know is objectively great but doesn’t do much for me personally.

Like most things to do with Oasis, this is over rated. I can see why it stood out in the early 90's though.

Great rock energy on this album but if you played a song I couldn’t tell you if it was on this album or not.

It just feels like an inferior version of the revolver album by the Beatles, just 30 years later

I definitely maybe want to hear this one again and again. 3/5

Definitely dated.

Never been an Oasis fan

I thought it was fine. The classic sound of the 1990s. The group definitely helped to inspire a entire generation of music like this, so full credit there. The album itself doesn't really thrill me; it's not bad, just not spectacular or exciting. Not an album that I will come back to often, but I do understand the iconic nature of the album and the heavy influence it has had on the industry. Fave tracks: Shakermaker, Cigarettes & Alcohol

samey

Sounds like Oasis.

I never really thought this album was all that great when I first heard it ages ago. It's not terrible but I never understood the hype. Live Forever is pretty terrific but outside of that its a lot of songs ranging from "listenable" to "good" with a couple annoyances thrown in "Shakermaker", I'm looking at you. I think they got better with the next album. I actually think Be Here Now might be overall more enjoyable than this one as well. Now that's a hot take!

Prefer this over Morning Glory. It's alright I guess. 6-7/10

Much, much less interesting than Morning Glory

solid, not as good as I remembered.

Jusy super standard. Not awful, but not for me

Heaps of Merseybeat, psychedelic and pop trivia. Nevertheless, the album set a sales record for a debut album. (6/10) FT: Live Forever, Up In The Sky

I'm struggling with this one. It just completely faded into the background on both listens. When reviewing the track listing I was like "huh Supersonic was on this, Cigerettes & Alcohol" no recollection at all. Maybe because nodoby is home and I decided to play this on my speakers instead of using headphones?

I wanted to like this album more than I ended up liking it. "What's the Story Morning Glory" is much more my style. A lot of these songs blurred together for me, so nothing stood out, but it was a fine enough listen. I'll give it a 3.5, rounded down to 3 for this scale's whole-number system.

Samey by the time you get to track 3.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis (1994) I was intrigued to read (Wikipedia) that in a 2005 BBC poll, this record was #4 on the list of most overrated albums ever, but in a 2006 NME poll, it was voted the #1 best album of all time, finishing just above Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles (1967). Are you kidding me? What’s going on here? Don’t get me wrong. This album is good, but clearly there’s a divergence of opinion. I just note this in passing. Lyrics here fall into a pattern of fizzling at the end of each song, unraveling into repetitive poetic codas before the demands of musical closure. This, on top of the standard weakness of superfluous phrases being used to fill out the metrical scheme renders these lyrics mildly clever at best. And the message of the weirdly out of place closing track “Married with Children” will make you not want to be. The music is good, with electric rhythm guitar recorded using heavy sustain, and nice chord progressions that are easy on the ears yet with enough variety to keep the listener engaged. This the central feature of everything that’s good about this album. And it’s also the most ‘American-sounding’ feature. Sorry if that disappoints the blokes on the other side of the pond, but there it is. Lead guitar stylings by Noel Gallagher are ok, but not flashy or soulful. There’s a nice drum groove by Tony Carroll in the opening bars of both “Live Forever”and “Bring It on Down”, but elsewhere the percussion is merely standard. And Paul McGuigan’s bass playing is usually just ‘in there somewhere’. Lead vocals by Liam Gallagher are consistently characterized by this cloying, exaggerated, drawn out rounding of vowels which, I suppose, serves to compensate for a very limited range and a very deficient timbre. [Picture this: Wouldn’t it be fun for four guys to sit down in an Italian ristorante in Brooklyn and all together order lasagna the way Liam Gallagher repeatedly pronounces it on “Digsy’s Dinner”? They’d be thrown outta da place.] And his falsetto is really bad. This band would sound a lot better with a different lead singer. But if you like the multi-layer rock rhythm guitar textures that you’ll hear on this album (and I do) it’s quite satisfactory. 3/5

I can see the appeal. It isn’t bad, it’s enjoyable but not ‘great’.

A lesser outing as compared to the masterpiece of 'Morning Glory' that would follow in '95. That being said, this isn't a bad album by any means - one can hear the slow churn of early grunge mixing in with Britpop, even if the two disparate genres still seem a little at odds.

I thought Wonderwall was on this album?

Like it more than I expected. Is it just more or is this mix very muddy though?

Oasis songs all sound pretty similar, but with that, it is easy listening. Solid album

I remember this being released, fairly sure it was played many times where I worked but a good chunk of this still seemed unfamiliar. Supersonic was played everywhere and maybe, because of that, was one of my least favourites on here. Shakermaker and Married With Children are ones I would come back to.

Better than 'What's the Story Morning Glory', this one has a few tracks I genuinely quite like but on the whole it's still not a brilliant album - Oasis just not super my thing

I can absolutely see why some people love this. It's catchy, fun, uplifting, and energetic. But its also not very tight, samey through and through, and personally Liam's vocals really get to me after a while. I still liked it, but definitely no more than that.

This very much reminds me of the mid-90s: overblown and bland.

This was ok, Sunsheeeeiiiiiinnnee

A tad rudimental, no? But for all that, effective rock 'n' roll. My views on Oasis have mellowed with age, and I've come to appreciate the idiosyncratic vocal delivery pitched halfway between John Lennon and Johnny Rotten. A nice, stompy collection of of big rock numbers that delivers subtlety like a smack around the chops - and all the better for it.

Bland and boring and sounds like everything else bland and boring, or at least it spawned its own brand of bland and boring (which they do very well, mind you). In either case, no thanks.

I looked supersonic but not enough to want to listen to this album again.

Fine rock album.

Siblings always produce really good music when they hate each other. 3.5/5.

Ihan hyvät rallattelut. Omaan korvaan ehkä turhankin puhki soitettu bändi eikä vuosien tauonkaan jälkeen tunnu mitenkään raikkaalle.

Ehtaa Oasista

Oh wow. So Oasis ISN'T just Wonderwall. Yeah this album is much better than Wonderwall. But nothing really stands out on it's own imo. It's just okay.

Ég átti „Wonderwall“ plötuna en kannski kom þessi í safnið seinna. Ég var alltaf meiri Blur maður þótt ég heillaðist alveg aðeins af þessu hráa. Alvöru plata, 52 mínútur.

This is better than 901 of the albums on this list. Oasis is fantastic. However, their two big hits on this album sound very similar. Starts off with slow drums, followed up with guitar riffs, etc... Very Oasis, which is not a bad thing. You can probably get your Oasis fix with "(What's the story) Morning Glory" and be fat and happy. I don't think this album adds anything that Oasis hasn't achieved with the other album on this list.

Not a huge fan of Oasis but it is ok I guess.

I had very low expectations going in. Never really liked their radio stuff. But I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't blow me away, but there are some very good tracks on this album. 3.5 stars.

I don’t think I ever listened to Oasis for a protracted period before and honestly wasn’t that impressed. A monotone and kind of grating guitar sound, pretty dull drum and bass, and lyrics that are superficially glib but not really saying much. Workmanlike rock but is there any real innovation?

Meh. It was OK.

Sounds super 90s and really dated. Songs go on way too long and probably could have cut a bunch of them. First time listening to Oasis and probably first time I've ever heard a full song by them and I'm not impressed. I'd give it 2.5/5 but I'll round up to 3 since for the Wonderwall meme and guitar players.

This is fine. It was fine when I listened to it in 1994. Never understood the massive hype around this band.

Wow. NOT what I was expecting. I’ve listened to a ton of Oasis and love them but I’ve not listed to this specific album lots. Some gems, but a lot is frankly not good.

Mixed feelings. Some hits on here, a LOAD of nostalgia as a Manchester lad, but it's not a great album to listen through. The production is just so aggressive that the snare rattles my teeth, also the plodding tempos are tiring. Columbia was a nice surprise though. I don't think I've knowingly heard that before. Good for what it is, but not a killer.

Introduction to Oasis. Pretty good band. Pretty good album. Don’t know if this album is worth introducing the world to Liam and Noel.

Oasis just not my tempo. I have no nostalgic connection to this album (which seems to fuel a LOT of the praise in these ratings), it all sounds a bit samey, and every song could have a good 60-90 seconds shaved off.

Well, I felt throughout the listening that this album met me at the wrong age. (Also, pop songs were used to be so long )

Third favorite oasis album out of Be here now and Morning Glory but still pretty fun. Enjoyed live forever

What I just heard is probably one of the best summarization of the '90s alternative rock tsunami. Unfortunately, that's what "Definitely Maybe" seemed to only do, it just summarized rock sounds of its time. They did it well though, but focusing on the sound for almost an hour? It gets tiresome after a while. I only knew Oasis as the "Wonderwall" boys. It was narrated that their name was used to be "Rain", after the Beatles song released almost three decades earlier. Apparently, Oasis based their sound on the mentioned track. But while one can hear The Beatles's "Rain" in it, the sound of "Definitely Maybe" is heavily grunge-like. The grunge and alt-rock songs of '90s and even the '00s can be heard in these rock songs driven by the deliciously hazy guitars. It's so '90s rock. Unfortunately, this makes the album generic. But it's still fun nonetheless. At least in small doses. It's interesting how it went from this to "Wonderwall". Even the chill closing track is different from it. Perhaps they're still finding their sound here.

Hatsikidee 3 punten. Als ik mijn allergieën opzij zet dan is het een best aardig album

Niet zo leuk als de plaat die ze hierna uitbrachten, maar goed aan te horen. Al zit de zang hier regelmatig wel tegen het nasaal zeurderige aan....

Listening to the remastered version. It sounds good, the songs are nice but I don't really connect with them as I would 10 years ago. Some of these songs will definitely go on a playlist of mine.

It is Oasis - Has Slide Away, so that is nice.

Decent but forgettable

I could have sworn I liked oasis but this album really didn't do it for me.

enjoyable. but not too much

7/10

A generous 3 for nostalgia reasons. Definitely reminds me of being a 90s child.

6/10

Good songs but not a lot of them catch my attention or stick out as really good to me. I really enjoyed Live Forever and the last three songs: Digsy's Dinner, Slide Away, and Married With Children. I've loved Married With Children for a long time now and have never heard anything else from this album so I was surprised to hear that it sounds completely different from all the other songs. The production is stripped back and the vocals gentler. All the other songs kinda sound the same to me with the songs I mentioned sounding the best. I'll listen to them more in the future and maybe give the album another listen. Sometimes albums really grow on me after another listen.

Enjoyable. Kinda feel like you had to be there though. Lots of nice guitar

great album from the britpop era

Innocuous 90's rock.

So much of this album is a lot of the same. Doesn't quite take me on a "journey" the way my favorite albums do. That isn't always a problem, but I am not in love with Oasis' sound. Good music, but not necessarily for me. 3.5/5

A decent album. I was not familiar with really any of the songs but they had a 90s feel to them. This album did not have any of really well known songs.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heard most of the good stuff already on the radio.

Still their best, but on relistening it's so lumpy and uninspiring - just walls of barre chords, pentatonic solos and nothing lyrics. It hangs together purely on Liam's sneer and volume.

Rock n Roll Star - meh (2) Shaker maker - pretty solid song. (3) Live Forever - groovy and catchy (4) Up in the Sky - opening rift is nice, not bad (3) Columbia - meh song, kinda generic (2.5) Super Sonic - Quite the bop (4) Bring It Down - okay (2.5) Cigarettes & Alcohol - boring (2.5) Digsy's Dinner - groovy (3.5) Slide Away - love the guitar in this too long (3.5) Married with Children - nice ending, chill (4) Album is not bad, but the quite a few of the songs sound similar and I got bored with them. Live Forever, Super Sonic, and Married with Children are the best songs on the album. 2.8/5 Stars

Has that mid-90's "buzz balad" songs. Funny enough, this album contains none of the songs that I associate Oasis to.

Solid, competent album. Showed that Oasis had more range than I was expecting.

Hasn’t aged well

Not even their best album

Despite how unbearable the Gallagher brothers have become, this is a pretty kickass album. I'm not the biggest fan of Liam's voice, he just sounds a little stale to me, but I think the direction the band takes their music sort of makes it blend well. With something to prove for their debut album, Oasis comes out on top to give you a straight rock and roll album that brings that exciting live crowd energy right through your speakers. It espouses fun, positive sounds that were definitely a contrast to the popular dark, despairing tones grunge was emanating. However, I think the album is very one dimensional. It doesn't deviate much from the sound it creates in the opening track, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, it doesn't make it a great record that I would really want to listen through again. Songs start to blend together in my mind, and you can tell they sort of took the foundation of some songs and expanded on them later for their popular hits. I'll probably just play some songs here and there as I want. Overall this album seemed like it was a bigger deal for the UK than the US with bringing back Britpop and rock to popularity, so it doesn't hold cultural significance for me. Favorite Song: Live Forever Least Favorite: Shakermaker

Never sat to listen to this. its a good album. not a favourite

this definitely struck me as more pop-punk than britpop, which I appreciated. a couple of tracks stood out but a lot of this just couldn't help but fade into the background, it didn't really grip me. 6/10

One of the things that irks me the most about Britpop is the abundance of 4-5 minute-long songs that seem to go nowhere. Also, Oasis overuses the word "maybe". Maybe if it wasn't in the album title and also the word they said the most in two of their most popular songs it wouldn't bother me as much. Ultimately, this was meh. 5/10

Just a few strong songs.

Not bad, not huge on oasis but some good tracks

Ahhh the famous Beatles tribute band........

First listen. Nice

I loved this album when it came out. I struggle to listen to it now because Liam is such a massive bellend. It turns out I cannot separate the art from the "artist"

not much oomph, bland but good. classic oasis

Good album but not “what’s the story morning glory”

Digsy’s Dinner and Married with Children were fun, and the rest of the songs weren’t bad exactly, but I found it irritating to listen to.

You know what. Not that great. These guys are whiny in retrospect

Tiene la obvia situación de disco debut en la que solo una o dos rolas realmente funcionaban pero le dieron a la banda el trampolín para arrancar su carrera. No me gustó Cigarrettes and Alcohol, que se basa en el riff de Bang a Gong de T. Rex, pero me encanta Slide Away y es, para mí, el clímax del disco aunque nunca salió como sencillo. Otro mérito del álbum (y de la banda en este momento) es abrirle la puerta al britpop en medio de la enorme popularidad que tenían otros géneros.

If I were to compare the output of the Brit bands of the 90s to their cohort grunge bands from the US, this is less dark and more melodic. Overall, I'm not really into this sound and I feel bad for the kids who missed out on the first wave of it in the 70s and the second in the 80s. The compositions and delivery are top drawer and it's easy to see why they were so popular. Supersonic is an anthemic debut single, Live Forever is good to, Cigarettes & Alcohol is totally Bang-a-Gong, but I'm sure Rick Beato would explain away that one, and apparently T-Rex borrowed it from Chuck Berry.

Had a few good and great songs but felt very repetitive. Not my favorite but didn’t hate it.

Very upbeat and happy. Would not listen to again.

Not as good as Morning Glory, but with some solid songs on it still.

Bello, da approfondire perché un giorno è poco (non conosci praticamente un cazzo della band)

I don’t like this band

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Some good tracks

A solid 90s rock album. I thought the drummer was kind of the standout for me on this album. I also realized that while I don't dislike Oasis at all, Liam Gallagher's voice isn't one that draws me in and at times even annoyed me a bit. Looking forward to hearing their other work on the list to see if I may be able to connect a bit more to it because the obvious talent and ability is there.

they just sound so much like oasis ya know? i liked the last song though

I like Oasis as much as the next person but I couldn't get through 3 hours of them. It was more my taste but a 3 hour album starts to sound repetitive as the songs go on

Definitely not more than three. Ich hatte gehofft es nach vielen Jahren auf einmal besser zu finden. Hat nicht geklappt

Misschien iets te hoge verwachtingen. 3.5, toch naar beneden afgerond.

Definitely maybe ... i guess I’m not an oasis fan. That voice just doesn’t vibe with me.

Overall liksom okej, lite för stökigt för att jag ska lyssna på det regelbundet men ändå bra musik. Det blir nog 3/5

Play Wonderwall! I think the British went all in for Oasis with this album, greatest band since the Beatles, etc. We Americans needed the broader range of their much better follow up record, and precious Wonderwall, a timeless acoustic torch song that countless aspiring guitar players would try to cover and use to get laid. I thought this album was great in patches. Some catchy songs. They keep the same sonic palette for the whole album - the big wall of chiming guitars are always ringing. It never lets up. There's no pauses for contrast. Play Wonderwall! Play Champagne Supernova! Play Cast No Shadow! The lyrics are full of convenient rhymes, but I really like the couplet on the final track "your music's shite, it keeps me up all night". B-

El debut de Oasis resuena con la emoción y contundencia de la juventud hetero inglesa. Música de wey diría mi morra. Una banda derivativa pero con personalidad diría yo. Un grupo de carnales capaces de crear la marca de agua de todas las bandas populares que surjan después de este debut como pioneros del cut and paste a la brava y con descaro, y sin mucha idea, como Tarantino pero con menos coca y más whiskey y ácido. Reyes del escapismo de fin de semana, de la idea fenix de volverte la estrella de rock que nunca serás un par de noches cada 7 días. De lunes a viernes eres polvo, viernes por la noche eres una estrella, es la promesa. Soy duro con estos mens porque soy un antiguo fan que ya está muy desgastado por los vientos de este huracán llamado vida y ya no tengo la paciencia ni la energía para andarle cosiendo las cabezas a unos títeres viejos. Creo que los estoy viendo lo más cercano a lo que siempre fueron: unos truhanes con un puñadito de canciones buenas que hicieron mella en la cultura popular mundial siendo ellos mismos, dejándose explotar como la imagen de la clase trabajadora que la clase media ama odiar y desea lujuriosamente: semisalvajes borrachos con acentos apenas comprensibles sin atisbo de respetar las normas básicas de convivencia de la estratificadadísima sociedad inglesa. El norteño (yo) reconoce a otros norteños. Rescatemos su valía. Porque al final sí hay talento ahí, en esas canciones para el concepto argentino del aguante, para el canto masivo, y extender los brazos al aire y sentirte vivo, aunque sea un par de horas. Eso tiene mucho valor. Y mira que acompañarte en la adolescencia, cuando nadie te soporta y te caga todo, ya es, también, bastante mérito. Aquí hablo por mí mismo. En fin, a lo que voy, trato de dirigirme a la sensación primigenia que me producen algunos tracks de este disco: la intención de trascender las limitaciones físicas, energéticas, aptitudinales y de conducta, pero sobre todo de dinero y lugar. La posibilidad de salir de tu cuerpo, de tu ciudad aburridad, de poder vivir algo más de lo que ya sabes que tu existencia va a merecer. Es un estremecimiento de esos que no se olvidan, un chorro de energía que te bautiza como una persona que sabe que quiere algo más de la vida. Lo que sea. Nomás por eso, si un escucha logra obtener ese chispazo, creo que vale la pena seguir escuchando este disco. Y bueno hay momentos brillantes aquí, acompañados de esa alegría del primerizo que va topándose con buenas melodías en el camino, a pleno andar, la serendipia y la sorpresa de confirmar tu talento. Es curioso pensar, viendo para atrás, que mientras una buena parte del Reino Unido (el negro) creaba futuros en tiempo real (electrónica, jungle, etc), aquí se rascaban el ombligo para encontrar un poco de oro entre la peluza. Y lo lograron. Y a parte te mostraban la piedrita reluciente con arrogancia. El tema de la arrogancia. Un poco de esa arrogancia que se extraña en el panorama masificado actual, ahora que las celebridades siguen una moral de P.R. y se comportan como las empresas que realmente son. En fin, yo, el antiguo fan de Oasis, tengo 35 años, hay pandemia de por medio y qué ganas dan de ponerse una peda marca Cigarrette's and Alcohol. Y todo bien.

Hmm ok britpop but not necessarily something i can see myself coming back to often, it was alright tho. Better than i expected it to be and far exceeded wonderwall

God but not great, a lot of filler songs

Je connaissais plus leur 2e album, c’est bon, mais les chansons sont souvent semblables. Supersonic est la meilleure, bien sur. Comme dirait PIERRE, une autre voix les aurait bien servis.

Quite good but I need to be in the mood for it

I've never listened to this album and shamefully have always held the stance that I don't like Oasis, so I'm excited about this one.

Rock 'n' Roll Star: wtf? Oasis used to sound like this? what happened! rest of the album: oh this is why, because they sound like every other alt rock stadium band, though its hard to tell because they have always been aggressively generic. Married With Children is look ahead at the Oasis sound of (What's the Story) Morning Glory

bonnes guitares quelques hits que je connaissais mais écouté tout un album j aurais aimé une voix supplémentaire pour varier

Feels less polished than What's the Story. Since I've never listened to this album before, I don't have any emotional attachment to it. It was OK, didn't make me excited.

This album can really only be defined as loud. And for what reason? Beyond me completely

C'est correct. Rien de plus rien de moins.

Nice

Quite enjoyed this. Like the wall of sound production. Didn't find Liam Gallagher quite as intolerable as my teenage self used to! Fave track - "Columbia". Don't recall ever hearing it before, and liked it - I guess that's how I'd feel about the rest of the album if I were hearing it for the first time now!

Ehh

I respect Oasis and I REALLY like some of their songs, but they produce a wall of impenetrable sound that has always been unappealing to me. That's what most of this album is like for me, but I do have a soft spot for "Supersonic." I also liked "Bring it on Down," don't really know that song well, same with "Cigarettes and Alcohol." I appreciate "Married with Children" as a song and as an anomaly on this album.

Not bad, but not as good as I was expecting considering all the accolades. I really enjoyed this but I know others like a lot more than I do.

Kinda middle of the road but they did cover I am the walrus

Oasis never really did much for me and still don't. I actually expected to dislike this more but it's tolerable. I understand why people like it but as with a lot of music, I think it comes down to something in the vocal delivery and lyrics that irks me.

I find Oasis utterly vapid, that is likely influenced by the Gallagher brothers being so up their own asses. I find it tolerable, but nothing I'd ever go to listen to. The music is indifferent to me, but their drama is kind of ridiculous. Surface-level 90s Brit Pop to me.

Obviously you can hear the Beatles influence- but that’s ok.

Fav Song: Married with Children

definitivamente talvez.

Oasis had many of the hits of my childhood, this album had plenty of new songs I'd not heard.

3+ hour double album.. ugh it was fine if i just listened to the first disc

I liked this album okay, but in the context of this list, it suffers from the same problem that a lot of recent albums do. The list is absolutely saturated with Brit pop, and after a while it's hard (for me at least) to discern the merits of individual albums. In isolation, I think this album is pretty good. The production is excellent and a lot of the songs were likable. I can see why this would have proved to be a nice counterpoint to grunge/alternative in the mid-90s. However, this list gives me a new 90s/00s Brit pop album to listen to every week, and they're all starting to blend together 3/5

Never been a big Oasis fan but this album shows me that I’ve been wrong all this time.

I'm not sure this needed to be on the list. Best track: Supersonic

December 31st, New Year's Eve :\ Good album, one of the more enjoyable vocalists out of the Britpop albums I've heard imo, and I think that's a make or break for this genre, where a lot of it starts to sound samey. Standout Tracks: Rock 'n' Roll Star, Shakermaker, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Slide Away

Ok

It feels petty to give this a one. Occasionally there is a catchy guitar refrain and melodic hook that really works. I can see the stadiums chanting appeal of it. But I still don't think Oasis is anything special? The run of Columbia, Supersonic, Bring It On Down was OK. I might genuinely listen to Columbia again.

Just so incredibly boring. Each track blurs into the next and they are by such a distance the weakest Brit pop band.

I figured it out: These guys sound like the fictional band in a movie about a fictional band.

You call this an Oasis? Not a lot of thoughts. Its just kinda mid. 2ish/5

Honestly kinda boring. I’m not big into Oasis and don’t love their vocals or music.

Oasis is not quite my style, but all in all not a bad album. Sonically, every track is pretty similar, though. Liam Gallagher has a weird voice, but interestingly has quite the vocal control. In production, the use of panning is solid and helps break up the monotony. "Digsy's Dinner" is a fun song, and "Columbia" shines spotlight on the vocals.

Definitely Maybe is one of those albums where I can understand why it became such a big deal, even if I didn’t completely fall in love with it. There are definitely songs here that I really enjoyed, especially the ones with that loud, confident guitar sound and catchy choruses. When Oasis are on, they have a great ability to make a song feel bigger than it actually is. That said, the album was a bit inconsistent for me. Some tracks really clicked, while others felt fairly repetitive and didn’t leave much of an impression. Liam Gallagher’s vocals and the overall swagger are part of the album’s charm, but I can also see why that style might not work for everyone. Overall, I’d say Definitely Maybe was good rather than amazing for me. I liked enough of it to understand its reputation, but I probably wouldn’t listen to the whole album from start to finish very often. There are definitely a few tracks I’ll be coming back to, though.

Yep that's another useless Oasis album.

2 - not a fan of the mix at all

It’s Oasis…

noisy. irritating. cliche. uninteresting.

I've never been able to get into Oasis. It's probably harmed by knowing what insufferable pricks the brothers are. If any of this was truly brilliant stuff, I could almost forgive that, but it's not so i can't.

Definitely not

I don't like it or hate it. Not my cuppa.

4/10. Sounds too monotomous. Not my type soz.

You're British. I get it. You can stop the silly accent

Every track on this LP is perfectly listenable but there's no "Don't Look Back in Anger", no "Champagne Supernova", and there's definitely no "Wonderwall". Not something I needed to hear before I die ******************************************************************************* --Rock 'n' Roll Star...decent opener. a bit generic --Shakermaker...kind of an anthem. could be a minute shorter --Live Forever...I usually like Ian's schoolboy snarl but it's not working for me here --Up in the Sky...this will certainly fill the stadium. doesn't fill me with much emotion --Columbia...this one has a solid hook. could be a minute shorter. this album is all very U2 --Supersonic...sonically? not all that super. it's aggressively okay. like this entire album so far --Bring It On Down...solid rocker --Cigarettes & Alcohol...another decent rocker that should be a minute shorter. 52 minutes and only 11 tracks? efficiency, lads --Digsy's Dinner...something under three minutes! --Slide Away...over six minutes again -___- --Married with Children...they throw us a changeup with something stripped down. I like it

Dull.

Onkohan yliarvostetuimpia bändejä / albumeja? Itselleni tällä ei ole paljoakaan arvoa, toki muutama hitti mutta itselleni niilläkään ei ole isompaa ysärinostalgia-arvoa. Tylsä albumi, Liamin ääni alkaa jopa ärsyttää jossain määrin pitkälle. 2/5

I originally had Definitely Maybe generated on Day 3 of this project before I joined a group and had my progress reset. I was a bit surprised to find that I just really didn't like it that much and Liam's voice got on my nerves. I ended up giving it a 2/5. I was expecting to like it a bit more this time around because I've gotten over some of my dislike for britpop, but I'm just still not really a fan. I think it's mostly that I can't separate the art from the artist. To clarify, I'm not aware of any allegations of any kind against either Gallagher, I just think they're annoying, narcissistic, whiny twats.

Never listened to this album. Kinda middle of the road, supersonic is a good song. I feel like there was much better out there in the British scene at the time doing this but better. Pulp, Blur, even much maligned Pablo Honey had a bit more going on in my opinion.

Nikoli nism ful padla v Oasis & prvi komad ("Rock 'n' Roll Star) absolutno ne pomaga. Meh. "Live Forever" mi je bil zmer kul. Pa " Supersonic". Ostalo so kinda sam slabše verzije teh komadov. Omg, literally vsak komad zveni k drug komad, tud k probajo vsaj začetek komada nardit mal drugač ("Cigarettes & Alcohol"), sčasoma začne zvenet k vsak drug komad. Tbh, nism pričakovala tok nizke ocene. Ampak očitno I could not care less about Oasis.

As I’ve said previously, a singles band and “Supersonic” is a particularly good one - two stars. Tom.

I don’t get it. The mania. This is a standard rock album. Not shit but not great & with a lot of forgettable songs. WTSMG is better but only because of 3 anthems that carried everything else oasis did. Saw them live & they were terrible.

6/10 - Sadly, i find the singing annoying when listening to a whole album :( Still liked some of the songs. Others seems a little flat (Rock n Roll Star - which, i dont think has enough rock n roll) Fav Tracks: Slide Away, Live Forever, Supersonic Heard before? --------–- ❌ Saved a new Song? ----- ✅ Saved Album? -------–-- ❌ Will Listen Again? ---––– ❌ Album Cover ----------– Ive stared at this for a while. Its really interesting. The TV in the corner, everyone is doing their own thing. The wine. The ashtray. Is this how they live? Just noticed the flamingo. 9/10 cover

Mid-tier, mid-tempo, acoustic pop-rock. I don't get the obsession with Oasis. Every song on this album is just a variation of "Live Forever" "Married With Children" just started, and I thought, "this sounds like the last song on the album" and I was right.

Liked live forever and married with kids, wouldn’t listen again other than those 2 songs.

Possibly Something.

its cool and all but kinda boring. on the 5th track switched to the 30th anniversary remaster version and started enjoying it way more, then got disappointed about the 3min loop (the whole second half) on the 5th track, boring again. nvm i dont like the remaster its actually too harsh. i just dont like this yet gotta let it marinate, usually dont listen to stuff like this.

Certainly middling

Oh fuck.

Overall, I didn't find this exciting and sometimes annoying. There were some songs that made it redeemable for my tastes - Rock 'n' Roll Star and Slide Away.

Just kind of sounded monotone. Maybe it hit differently in the 90s.

Not my kind of music maybe definitely for now it may change but it made me really focking sleepy

So dull

Definitely maybe not a record I needed to listen to before I die.

definitely maybe? more like definitely mid. don’t really understand all the hype, it’s not a bad album it’s just not good either. there’s a few good songs (live forever, married with children) i don’t know, maybe just not my thing. i prefer blur

not my vibe

192. ok

This is perfectly pleasant pop rock through a radio friendly filter. The edgiest thing about the entire thing is that full wine glass on the floor in the album art. This is also about as exciting as a McDonald's vanilla shake. You know exactly what you're going to get with each track, and the most dangerous thing about it is maybe a sugar rush and a brain freeze. Oasis is not the new Stones, and they're not the new Beatles. Get off it. My Rating: 2/5

Well, I like a few of the melodies and structures. Shakermaker was alright. The rest of the album though, well, I think of it this way. Y'know when you hit the grocery store and they have the speakers up so you can hear the radio? And every now and then, they've got a random banger playing? Like, oh shit, Shoppers Food Warehouse is hip with Parliament, that's cool. Hey, Giant is playing some cut from Things Fall Apart, neat. That's a nice little addition to your grocery run. But most of the time over the speakers, there's just sort of airy, guitar-y music playing. Like, a band that could be one of a million other bands, kinda samey and safe and all. This album is kinda what I'd expect to hear in that situation. I know a lot of people like Oasis for the escape from grunge attitude and that's cool, lighter more optimistic music is cool. But I dunno if it has to be boring, and this kind of is to me.

Reasonable debut from the Burnage guys

i really couldn't tell if the song was over and the next song was playing or not. The riffs are pretty repetitive but this applies to oasis' entire discography. frankly, i listen to oasis when i need an energetic background music. i find it hard to stay focused throughout an entire song let alone an album. but they're an iconic example of brit pop-rock i guess.

Well, on the bright side, I didn't actively hate this out of the gate, so that's something. It is amazing that when the third tune started, my anus puckered (or was is it my anal sphincter?), the general physical response I have to this band. Interesting that it is, by far, the most-spun song on the album (working off Spotify numbers). So, whatever it is that propels this band into the stratosphere for so many has the opposite effect on me. I don't much like the melodic choices vocally (as a rule). I do appreciate the musical muscle, though even that wears after a few tunes. I'm gravitating to the less-listened-to tracks. Mostly I'm just annoyed that I had to listen to this at all. I wavered... 3? or 2? It tried to get there, but no, I don't enjoy the band. It got ever more tedious as the record played.

Whine.

I like oasis but this is garbage

I really don’t get the comparisons between oasis and the Beatles. Especially when the stone roses are right there. It’s not bad. It’s just really generic. And i can help get wound up by the swagger you can hear through the songs, which i’m sure some people find endearing.

Very generic, not really my music. The only one I liked and the one I already knew was Live forever

TRES HORAS?

Definitely maybe one of my least favourite bands from this era. A couple of ok songs but really not my thing at all.

yeah, sure thing man. help yourself to the fridge, i'm gonna go paint some grass and watch it dry, and you let me know if you find anything interesting, alright?

First time listening to this in over 20 years and I can’t help but feel that (despite the recent reunion hype and hysteria resurfacing) that time hasn’t really been all that kind to this record. A couple of bangers aside, this was a particularly knackering listen. Plus it provided the template and precedent for every shite band with a mild attitude for the next 20 years to bleed the industry dry. We’re having lasagneeerrrr

I'm so used to hearing Oasis as soundtrack in 00's romcoms that I find it strange listening to them normally.

Ready Player One referencia???

was expecting more judging from the reviews, nothing overly offensive but i got bored once i realised every song sounded the same. wouldn't put myself through listening to the whole thing again

Never liked Oasis, tried my best to give it a proper go in good faith. True to form, it opens with two of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. After listening to them both, I felt like there was just a little less colour in the world. I’ll concede, songs 5-7 have their moments and so does Slide Away, but I always feel like I’m trying my best to ignore the vocals so I can enjoy the rest which at times is pretty cool. They’ve never been for me, not the worst album I’ve ever heard but also didn’t change my mind.

I am slightly familiar with Oasis but haven't dug into all of their stuff. I have 9 songs liked by them so far - but all are on the albums What's the Story Morning Glory? and Dig Out Your Soul. I don't think I've ever listened to this album before. Curious if I will recognize anything. Thoughts while listening 3 times ... 1st time through: - wow - this is really annoying - The vocals / singing style are very grating - the unrelenting wall of sound arrangement with all instruments turned up to 11 all of the time is also very irritating - I did sort of recognize "Live Forever", must have heard that before - Best song so far is the last song (Married with Children) because they ditched all of the annoying production 2nd time through - the first song "Rock and Roll Star" seems like the most generic rock song ever - "Up in the Sky" and "Columbia" are decent 3rd time through - - I was curious what else came out around this time. Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream, Cracker Kerosene Hat, Pearl Jam Vs all came out the year before (1993). These were released in the same year (1994) - Pearl Jam Vitalogy, Portishead Dummy, These were released the following year (1995) - Radiohead The Bends, Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust, Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. ALL of these are so much better than this. - I ended up liking "Live Forever", "Up in the Sky", "Columbia" and "Married with Children" Liked songs on Spotify: 4/11 Rating: 2/5

Married With Children

Definitely Not.

I like oasis but wouldn't rate this that high but a solid 5.7/10 album

not really feeling it.. just not really a sound that i care about at all. everything about it is so grating and annoying fav tracks: columbia, married with children

Polished but to what end?

Meh.

I remember listening to this album at the time. It was ok, but not great by any means, and a fraction of the album that What’s the Story Morning Glory is. Not great.

I've always thought I'd missed out on Oasis but honestly I just don't really like it. I can't help think that they sound like someone doing an impression of earlier bands but in a fake Manchester accent.

Ough. the rock is a little butt

Massively overrated

Way worse than I remember. Genuinely boring record.

I really just do not see the appeal of this band. Some serviceable if down-the-middle rock songs, but I really don't hear anything groundbreaking here. Also Liam Gallagher has a whiny voice. 2/5

Basically every Britpop group sounds like they’re ripping off The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but these guys aren’t even trying to pretend like they’re doing something new. Add on top of that the very annoying vocals and corny 90s pop-timism lyrics and it’s easy to say I didn’t like this one. If you want to listen to Oasis, I’d say just listen to the hits, cause there is nothing remarkable here.

Me aburri mal. Esta ok

I'm leaving this with two stars, though it's more of a 1.5 stars for me. Derivative and deadly dull. The best track is Live Forever. I'll never forgive Oasis for the way they bought lads, lagers, and louts into British indie rock. Legit ruined the whole scene and for what?

there were some songs i liked but honestly almost all Oasis songs just sound like the same chords played over and over again aggressively and a teenage boy yelling as much as he can because he thinks it makes him a better singer

Hey let's just try a bunch of different stuff and we'll eventually put it in our 1 popular song everyone clowns on. Okay maybe a bit harsh this is more raw but fuck I'm bored

Oasis again!!! I'm so happy!!1!!

Terrible start - and doesn’t really improve much. Is the whole thing just noise? Why was this so big? I don’t get it. Sounds like shit - Who mixed it? 🤷‍♂️

An album that i loved on release but i very quickly jumped from the Oasis wagon and i likely haven’t listened to this since the mid to late 90s. That was largely due to a dislike for the Gallagher’s which has only grown since then. But I thought it’d be interesting to give it another listen so many years later. Of course I’ve heard most of these songs in the intervening years, they’re impossible to avoid but what struck me is just how basic they are lyrically, almost laughably simple, like nursery rhymes for pissheads. Musically I have to admit that they’re hooky but there’s nothing here that’s challenging and most of these songs have been so overplayed it’s like a cloth wrought dry. The two songs that stood out in that respect were _Columbia_ and _Slide Away_ which weren’t singles and so I’ve avoided for a couple of decades.

I'm not a massive oasis fan. I've tried hard to get the thing that everyone else sees, but it just sounds super generic pop music with a manchester accent

I'm not a huge Oasis fan. It's certainly a classic but doesn't really hit for me.

it got old really fast

Trash LMAOOOOO

🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 (an uneven distribution of 1-4 star songs skewed by skeevy thievery) This score comes down to the context. I come from a Blur family, but I'm not so Jingoistic than I can't enter this with an open mind, and for the first five or so songs, I was having a good time—I'm not sure what's so special about Oasis, since I heard nothing other bands around this time weren't really doing, but they do that thing well and I was enjoying it. Once I got to Super Sonic, the Weezer-y, nineties, whiny guy schtick got to be a little bit insufferable, and I could tell even beneath the rock I live under that MTV rode some of these into the sunset. Even that, though, felt dubiously smarmy when certain harmonies hit, and I'll admit it—I sorta got it in glimmering moments of "Slide Away" and "Live Forever" (or was it "Up in the Sky"?). To me, in isolation, this is Oasis: cloying pop at worst, fiery rock at best. But here's the hitch: Oasis cannot exist in isolation. Ambushed by the opening riff of "Bang a Gong" retitled mega-hit "Cigarettes and Alcohol," I already felt territorial (and don't tell me it's because there's a limited amount of chords in rock and everyone's ripping everyone else off—there's coincidence, there's influence, and there's this, which anyone who's not a bad actor can plainly see), but this was before I read the lawsuit that ensued from "Shakermaker's" plagiarism, which made me feel like a chump for enjoying that song. I can—and not even that begrudgingly—forgive "Shakermaker" because it's clearly tongue-in-cheek parody, but knowing in retrospect that Noel and Liam Gallagher both thought they were the next John Lennon really limits my capacity for grace. Regardless of how hard they rock, or even how competently they can create a decent rock hook, knowing that these pompous blowhards got away with not only their plagiarism but their delusion of grandeur (still lauded by knowing music critics today) stacks me against this album. Two stars because of some fun performances and occasional bursts of talent, no more stars because they didn't create more originality with said talent. 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

i don't "get" them really. maybe the other album.

Not really a rock kinda person but Live forever wasn't too bad.

The singer is scientifically engineered to annoy me

Like trudging through a swamp for what feels like 2 hours

This was ok album that had songs that I forgot once the next track started playing. Wouldn't mind listening to the songs but definitely wouldn't pick and choose to listen to this. 2/5 Best track? Maybe Supersonic.

Liam Gallagher is an obnoxious boor who can't write a song. Let's take Live Forever Maybe I don't really wanna know How your garden grows 'Cause I just wanna fly Lately, did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks you to the bone? Maybe I just wanna fly Wanna live, I don't wanna die Maybe I just wanna breathe Maybe I just don't believe Maybe you're the same as me We see things they'll never see You and I are gonna live forever What a load of absolute twaddle. And he then goes on to sing the same verse/chorus another two times, the lazy git, a tactic he repeats. Noel can knock out a decent tune and they kind of reinvented the indie stadium rock sound after the Cult defined it with love, but can't override the annoyance that I feel everytime I see his stupid self-satisfied, punchable face, or hear his faux-Manc posturing vocals. Sun-sheeee-yine - fuck off!

What a boring album. Look I'm no fan of oasis to begin with. The only song I remember from this listen was live forever and I don't think I'd ever willingly listen to this again. 2

This has really popular songs but I can separate the Gallaghers from their work

Definitely No 1.5/5

Maybe, Definitely, an album. Hard for me to say much more than that. I have never cared much for Oasis, and this one is no outlier in that regard. This was tolerable, but I don't see why I'd revisit it. I feel the need to review it harsher because it's so well-regarded, and I don't like when an album or band is so popular but their output is so milquetoast. 2/5

- their voices are annoying - every song is Wonderwall - not a fan

The 90s popular rock scene was just atrocious. Most formulaic, bland genre until 2010s country. All songs are basically the same so no highlights for this album.

Ist nicht so wirklich meins, liegt vielleicht an der Zeit, aber es catcht mich gar nicht. Keiner der Songs hat so richtig meine Aufmerksamkeit erregt, ich hätte irgendwie mehr erwartet nach dem, was ich gehört habe. Gegen Ende wird es auf jeden Fall besser, so die letzten drei Songs. Sonst kenne ich auf jeden Fall bessere Songs von Oasis, die mir direkt in den Kopf kommen würden. Aber dafür ist es ja da: um auch Songs kennenzulernen, die eben nicht jeder kennt bzw. nicht die bekanntesten des Künstlers sind.

I wasn’t impressed in 1994, I’m not impressed in 2026.

It’s been awhile. They were definitely channeling the Beatles. And I had forgotten how much this album rocks!

- I think this is one of those things where if you didn't listen to it when it came out, you can't really understand the album because future bands incorporated so much of what made it fresh when it was released. - It's not innovative, weird or foundational enough to stand out 32 years after release so it's just kind of ok to a first time listener - halfway through the album I lowered the volume - Cigs & Alcohol is pretty good

Would have been a ten for me in 2005 but not really my vibe.

Not much of a rock guy, but nice voices

muy heavy, me gustaron un par, banco oasis

60

Never bought into the hype around Oasis. Ordinary sing-along pop rock made for that stadium feel. It's good at that but not my bag at all.

I never jumped on the Oasis train ... and this album has not changed my mind. It's fine, but I'd rather listen to The Verve.

Went in an oasis hater, left an oasis indifferenter 2.5/5

I am teetering between a 2 and a 3, the sounds just aren't doing it for me. I hate saying "it all sounds the same" as a critique since the true critique is "it all sounds the same and I don't care what it sounds like." I could listen to Mac Demarco all day and all his songs sound the same. I'll take Wonderwall and some of their other hits, but I don't think I need an entire Oasis album.

vocals are a bit annoying but i like the instrumentals

Why do people like this band so much? The 90s were truly the nadir of music. Flaccid groups like OASIS were allowed to proliferate despite being LOUSY

I'm gonna be honest, I only listened to a couple songs. Oasis is very popular in Japan, and I already resented them for that, and listening to a bit of this just confirmed for me that their music is very mediocre. When it comes to music, a lot of people in Asia seem to care more about appearances than substance (their pop idol culture is egregious); I just imagine them being like "wow look at these cool white guys with long hair playing cool music," while their brains are turned off. It's not the worst music I've ever heard, but .... yeah

I'm torn between a 2 and a 3, but I think I have to give this one a 2 (I'd probably be willing to do 2.5, lol). A lot of the songs seemed to sound kind of the same - and not all that interesting? Wasn't particularly a fan of Oasis when they first came on the scene, and I guess that's still the case. It's not terrible, just, like I said, (to me) not very interesting.

Just seems kind of ordinary and uninteresting. It's not difficult to listen to particularly (though I do find the snark difficult at times), I just kind of can't be bothered with it. One of the other records sounded like uninteresting acoustic pop, this one sounded like uninteresting late blues rock a bit more

So milquetoast

Definitely maybe over-rated band. I know people love ‘em, that’s fine. Liam’s sneering whiny voice does zero for me.

A wall of sound coming at me with no relief.

It’s just not my kind of music. There were a few songs that weren’t as bad as some, and I only say that because again, just not my kind of music.

Oasis famously compared themselves to the Beatles. In a sense they were right; they are the Beatles of musical mediocrity. Live Forever feels so long it Definitely Maybe makes Germany’s 600 year performance of 4’33 seem short.

This is a good album I just feel like I’ve heard them all so much over the past 12 months. Some classics some are just winey.

Overrated

Classic garage band feeling. Favourite track: Married with Children

Never been a huge oasis fan. But this album surprised me. Live forever had to be my favorite song, but to be honest none of the rest of the songs were as good as that. Bring it on down had a cool guitar part. But maybe it’s the British lyrics and how full the band is of themselves. I can say this was not a Beatles album.

This one really grated on me but some of that probably has to do with how overplayed and meme'd Oasis is by 2026. I was listening to this while driving and so many times the lyrics had me shaking my head. Also I think one of these songs either rips off or attempts to interpolate T.Rex but it also just pissed me off more because I could have just been listening to T.Rex.

Kind of boring. Oasis had a big resurgence last summer so I was kind of excited to see what it’s all about but was underwhelmed.

not as good as I remember it, maybe a 2.5 but I'll give it a 2

Claustrophobic guitar parts and corny vocal deliveries. Oasis have created a world only they could create with this one.

This was hard going. More plodding and groove-less than I remember. Not a good sign when the second track of a debut album plagiarises track one (and a coke ad).

basic, derivative .a few good memories. live forever is still pretty great, and the b-sdies were always better than the album. 2.5

Back in the day I thought some of the tunes were reasonably catchy, but overall I never understood the hype around Oasis. It was just noise to me mainly. And I still don’t. I prefer this to What’s the Story… but that’s not saying much. It’s not improved with age and that’s probably because, in the end, the music just isn’t that great. I guess it stands as a moment in time for some people due to it being everywhere for a while, but I don’t think it stands up to scrutiny without that. See - still don’t get it! 2 - and that’s being generous.

Listening to this album is like discovering a whole new world. its good but I personally wouldn't listen to it everyday just not my cup of tea but I am interested in discovering many new other artists.

I've been very open about my dislike for Oasis for a long time. I knew they'd eventually crop up for me on this challenge. This album was a strange one for me. A couple of tracks surprised me "Up In The Sky" and "Bring It On Down" as they had a lot more energy than basically anything else on the album. However, one constant is how much I can't stand Liam Gallagher's vocals, I just can't. No matter how I try, the voice just goes through me. The weird sort of groan as he holds out every vowel at the end of every line, I struggle to move past it. Admittedly I've never been a fan of any of the 90s Britpop style, it's never been my bag. In the case of Oasis, it's all a bit too middle of the road for me.

So far not my particular vibe in music, but I am always up for something new. I have only listened to the first song right now, so we will see! Song number 2 was definitely not my vibe :/ Sometimes the most popular songs are the best, fave so far! Same w/ number 4, not really digging it Liked this song a little more, but again, it just wasn't hitting for me, sadly Liked the guitar on Supersonic, but overall again, it's not really my vibe Bring it on Down was probably my favorite so far, really intense and fun guitar Cigarettes and Alcohol didn't give me too much, but I liked the riff a bit! Digsy's Diner was the shortest and probably least interesting. Slide Away was really good, which is cool for a longer song. I felt the angst and emotions really well. Nice! The last song was nice, but a little too repetitive for me. Overall, not for me personally. Ended up adding 3 songs to my playlist, so that is fun!

I like some Oasis songs, but this album was a bit to heavy and noisy for me.

No. No. No. No. No. I cat stand Oasis. It’s not a Blur v Oasis thing for me. Brit Pop not my thing. This album gets a 2 for being the one that doesn’t have Wonderwall on it. Every song sounds the same.

Whining nonsense lyrics over guitars so distorted it becomes a mush of sound does not a classic album make. Possibly the most overrated band of all time, and that includes Coldplay!!! 2

I find it interesting that most reviews I've seen of this record either give it a 5 or an 1. This record does nothing really special, it's like the stones and beatles had a mediocre baby. It's wayy too poppy for my tastes, but it isn't awful to listen to. Just plain boring. 4/10

not a good band. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

It’s pretty boring isn’t it

Never been an Oasis fan.

(58/100)

😪

Overrated.

Album wasnt absolutely horrible, but because i fucking hate britpop im giving it a 2 instead of a 3. shakermaker, bring it on down & clumbia were decent. Hated live forever especially 👍 Silde away was always hyped by people i knew, was disappointed by it. Expected more

Not good. His voice was grating.

Not my kind of music.

Zeikerige zangstem en beetje te similar in sound allemaal. Goeie cover though

no me gusta oasis

Never really understood the hype for this band. They are fine I guess, catchy but generic rock. Overall a pretty boring album but not offensive

хватило на один раз, скучный и голоса неприятные (

Violently British, a little pretentious for no reason imo. I generally like stuff that’s a bit more niche but I can see how they are a palatable “punk” for the masses- everyone will always love Wonderwall. Just not something I LOVE or am WOWED by.

Lo unico que se me queda del álbum es la voz del vocalista cuando extiende mucho la nota,no escuche mucha diferencia en las canciones,salvo dos,lo siento muy monotono y repetitivo.

just good

Three facts: When you look up the dictionary definition of something that "insists upon itself," there is a picture of Oasis. The Gallagher brothers are insufferable cunts who are so far up n their own arses it's laughable. I hate saying this, but "What's The Story Morning Glory?" is also orders of magnitude better than this record.

This album seems to tell the story of the rise and fall of a first love. Reminds me of the egocentric feelings of young adulthood, believing you’re going to live forever, meeting someone who can make it all slide away then realizing their music is shite and you hate everything about them. Great guitar riffs, solid rhythm section, similar sounding solos in many of the songs, Noel Gallagher’s voice and enunciation got to be annoying at times

Meh.

I don't think I've ever listened to this album. When these guys blew up, I was at the peak of my punk stridency, and Oasis' rockstar bullshit was anathema to me (and I didn't think their songs backed up their egos). I also was also on Team Blur during the completely-invented-by-the-British-media rivalry between Blur and Oasis. I've softened since; I listened to the 20th anniversary edition of (What's the Story) Morning Glory a bunch of times when it came out, though I haven't gone back to it. All that said, this album still gets a shrug from me. The songs are too long for what they are—"Live Forever" would be so much better if they chopped a minute off—and the lyrics have no shortage of clichés. It's totally fine mid-'90s Britpop. I don't say this often, but 1994 me was on the right track.

Just a very average album from a below average band

Ich mochte den Großteil des Albums nicht so gerne, fand ihn langweilig, die letzten zwei Songs waren aber Banger
