Definitely Maybe

Definitely maybayyyyyyyyyyy Yo this album is LOUD.

A classic in British alt rock music. The first album by oasis is nothing short of outstanding and a way to put a band on the map. Probably their second best album behind morning glory. This one has some solid catchy songs. It’s a shame the brothers couldn’t get along because they made great music together. Overall this is a relisten and super enjoyable for anyone that was young in the 90s and 00s. 8.3/10

Not going to pretend like I didn't enjoy this just so I can be as pretentious as everyone else. This was a solid album with nice layered guitars and vocals. Cover also goes stupid. 3.5/5

It's amazing how quickly they had their own sound (with the obvious beatles influence) You can hear where they're going, but they're not quite there yet. A few too many filler tracks brings the score down from perfect, but always worth a listen. Best songs: Live forever, rock 'n' roll star, cigarettes and alcohol.

Very good

I remember this being released, I was about 11 years old and there was a buzz about this new band called Oasis. They really blew up with the subsequent What's The Story..., but this album as a raw energy and some absolute belters. I remember listening to Live Forever on repeat, then Slide Away, then Married with Children. Fun times.

Solid britpop album that’s surprisingly hard-rocking and guitar heavy. It’s a nice album to listen to but I didn’t really hear anything special about it. I would listen to it again but it seemed too paint-by-numbers to be on this list.

As with most Britpop I have my usual qualms with this record. It comes off pretty dang bland without many memorable bits to catch onto and get stuck in your head. The noisy guitars overwhelm any sense of melody and even make the lyrics difficult to understand sometimes, leaving you in a cloud of whining drone noises and basic drums. 4/10

Definitely maybe not a favorite album

3.5

Strong 4, kept reminding me of DMAS in a way

Love it, which may just be a bit of sentimentality because at the time this was just one of those debuts that made you go "wow". But every time I listen to this album I just think it's great.

ok. Good pop

Found this kind of fatiguing to listen to to be honest. Some of the lyrics are clever enough but a bit on the repetitive side - almost as if there are two different drafts for a first verse rather than a true second verse. Not bad, but I don’t see myself digging this one back out. 2.25

Excellent

I have never been a big Oasis fan, and this album changes nothing about that. While I like the opener Rock'n'Roll Star quite a bit, the remaining songs (except for the acoustic closer Married With Children) bring nothing new to the table and leave a lot to be desired in the variation department - especially absent are memorable melodies. This album, then, is just OK ... ish. 2.5/5

Hard to argue with this one.

I have such a complicated relationship with oasis. At the time, I sneered at them as much as they sneered at everybody else. I was into blur. Or better yet pulp. Are they simplistic, radio friendly, and steal? Guilty on all counts. Dude straight up lifts a melody from a coke commercial. I guess those issues just don’t bother me as much as they did. Now when I listen I feel a heart felt nostalgia from an experience I never had. “Live forever” soars. They reached greater heights. But for me this album feels the most real.

Gives me nostalgia about pretending to like them to be cool in high school. But some songs genuinely do hit lol

Oasis did a great job on this one

love it

Classic init

Masterpiece, even if Shakermaker is a bit wank and the production is ghastly.

B-sides are better, they should've included them and removed some of the duller tracks.

Another one that didn't grab me as expected. Weirdly only just had a Blur vs Oasis discussion with someone on the weekend. They claimed that the first two Oasis albums top anything Blur ever put out which I think is total bullshit.

Feels fresh and relevant after all this time.

quite samey innit

Genre: Punk Rock Review: Pretty good. Reminded me of some of the older English bands like The Sex Pistols, Clash etc. Certainly some influences there. I'd like to listen to more of them. Heard good things, and listened to some good tracks here too. Rating: 7/10

Quite a catchy sound and good, clean alt-rock guitars. Not a big fan of the singing. 3/5

Never listened to Oasis before - I get it now.

Cool. 4 stars

Best album ever love it

- meh. Sounds like oasis.

Britpop was not something I got into when it came out. Grunge was in its last throes (weird as I write this, it's the anniversary of Cobain's death...). I watched a documentary on Britpop, and saw it was basically Blur vs. Oasis. I didn't know this album was such a big impact on the scene. Critics were looking for the next big thing, and this was so bright as opposed to the stuff from Seattle, characterized by doom and gloom. The problem at first for me was I couldn't separate the band from the dysfunction, so it took a few songs for me to get into the music. But I did come around after a while, even though the band was (for the most part) homaging so many other works. One song I gravitated towards was "Cigarettes & Alcohol". In Wikipedia, Alex Niven typified "Cigarettes & Alcohol" as a "twelve-bar blues rock song" and "a classicist boiling-down of the Rolling Stones' rebel rock archetype". But I mean... come ON. It is so obviously "Get it On" bt T-Rex. Even so, I don't think of it as them ripping them off, I think of it more as an homage. Because really the whole album is that, an homage to those great bands that came from Britain in the 60s and early 70s, but with a new shine on it. Everything old is new again. Anyway, I liked the album a lot more than I expected to ("what, no Wonderwall?"). And many of the songs were pretty catchy to me. But they weren't very distinct. They still had a bit of that 90s sheen to it. It didn't feel like they were loosening up until the end with songs like "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and "Married with Children." But that might just be me.

On first listen I thought this is not as good as their follow-up. And after multiple listens, I still believe that's true. But there's definitely a bunch of rocking songs - most of them really. I think Rock n Roll Star, Up in the Sky, Bring it on Down, or Slide Away might have been even better choices as singles than Shakermaker or Supersonic. Live Forever was a good choice as a single - good lyrics and composition from Noel but a bit of those flawed Liam vocals. That might be the biggest place where this album leaves something to be desired - I can picture my buddy from Southampton doing his best Liam impression and singing the words sheeeeine or actsheeeeeion (it's just shine and action, alright?). His vocals got better over time but flaws really on display here. Still, for the rocking it's solid. And no doubt they ushered in a new era of rock.

I just came into this album really only knowing Oasis’ singles and was not expecting to be too thrilled by it. I have to admit that it’s a pretty solid album though. Liam’s voice can get a little irritating sometimes, but the songwriting is good and I do like the guitar sound on here. “Columbia” was a particular standout for me with its driving rhythm, especially towards the end of the song. “Bring it on Down” was another one that I really enjoyed. I’m starting to think that the non-single tracks off the album are better than the singles. It’s a 3.5 album but should I round up? Definitely maybe.

On the plus side, this album RAWKS. On the minus side, Liam Gallagher's voice and his behavior annoy the crap out of me. Not to mention all the "second coming of the Beatles" over-hype crap makes me automatically want to knock this down a point or two. Funny thing is I wrote almost the same thing for their second album. At least they're consistent. 3.

Yes! What an excellent Saturday album. Bopped along to this while chugging a cup of yorkshire tea - black. A masterpiece 5/5

I don't think I'd properly sat down to listen to a full album by Oasis prior to this, and I really should have sooner. Amazing throughout.

Hard rock. I liked it- I think I need to listen to it more to give it a higher rating. I personally felt this its just a bit too hard rock- if it wasn’t so loud I think i would have liked it better. I personally don’t like that mid to late 90s sound of harsh drums.

There's some great songs, but also some songs that could be more catchy. 3.5/5

lol :^ )

Aggressively meh

People who say that the britpop albums on here are rubbish are either just talking shite to sound pretentious listening to their weird obscurest jazz album or are hardcore grunge diehards that won’t give into the acceptance that britpop is good (even after like 30 years). Because it’s from a popular band definitely maybe actually has a decent score but I bet the “uurgh I hate britpop” crowd are here somewhere. Anyway the album itself is great though from the obvious great singles “rock and roll star”, “live forever”, “supersonic” and “cigarettes and alcohol” to perfect album tracks ranging from the trippy “Columbia” the punky brawler “bring it on down” and the stunning climax “slide away”. Yeah there is “digsys dinner” which is comical and stupid and “married with children” is quite a half arsed closer. But all the best albums have at least one runt of the litter. The only reason why it might not be a universal 5/5 is liams voice but I don’t hate it; it’s got it’s charm. So yeah 5/5.

From the second this starts to the end, you can practically smell 1994. For me it's the album that changed everything and it stands up. Absolutely storming - controlled chaos.

Great! I prefer "What's the Story (Morning Glory)", but this album is wonderful as well.

Dritt album, oasis æsj

Before if you asked me if I like Oasis I’d say “Yeah I think so”. Now if you asked me I’d say “I don’t know.”

Definitely...Maybe.. good - I haven't been much of an Oasis fan for most of my life, but now hindsight makes me appreciate them much more. This record is not as good as others - despite having some great tracks here, it does not feel like one that I would revisit. Good, but not their best.

If sneering had a voice it would be this. If all the instruments were tuned down slightly Liam Gallagher would probably be in tune, but unfortunately they weren’t so instead it just sounded like someone had plonked a peg on his nose.

eh it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t really especially good or anything.

I do not like this album

Aivan todella tylsä albumi! Ja mä ihan tykkään Oasiksesta. Tai nyt kyseenalaistan sen. Liian naiivinnokkelaa

Ei vielä valmista tavaraa - hittibiisi puuttuu. Olen silti riittävän kiinnostunut pohtimaan, olisiko joku raita ollut parempi kuin ensivaikutelman perusteella.

The only song I know off this album is Supersonic but I ended up really liking it so I hope the rest of the album is as solid. I honestly really enjoyed Cigarettes and Alcohol, the message behind it was super dark but the way he says sunshine in the chorus really annoys me. Digsy's Diner was really good too, and no annoying pronunciations set me off while listening so that's cool. I also thought Married With Children, from the first couple riffs I started to think, "Wow this is pretty cool." I still think my favorite is still Supersonic but we'll see if anything changes.

Rating: 9/10 Debut studio album from Oasis released in 1994, spurred a revival in British pop music and is considered as one of the most influential albums for the ‘Britpop’ music of the 90s. Only Oasis album to feature all 5 members. 1) Rock ‘n’ Roll Star - Such a powerful song to open the album, top vocals from Liam, brilliant solo too 2) Shakermaker - Great riff throughout song 3) Live Forever - One of the greatest songs ever written by Noel Gallagher, incredible song, 10/10 4) Up in the Sky - Brilliant vocal performance from Liam, quite an underrated song from the album 5) Columbia - Simple song, brilliant singing with Liam and Noel on chorus 6) Supersonic - Incredible guitars throughout 7) Bring it on Down - Such a strong song, one of my favourite Oasis songs 8) Cigarettes & Alcohol - Brilliant T-Rex sample, one of Oasis’ best songs, classic 9) Digsy’s Dinner - Underrated song, lasaaaagnnnaaa 10) Slide Away - Classic, again another hit 11) Married with Children - Another very good song, busker classic

This rocks more than that its successor, which I gave 4 stars a year ago, and in my memory this album was the better album out of the two. But today the vocals are irritating like hell. Together we flyyyyyyy blah blah. To be fair, on a different moment, I might enjoy it again, so 3 stars.

Has some moments where the band rocks properly, but the songs overall are quite boring. On top of that, the vocals are too annoying for me to give this more than two stars.

Irresistable tunes for the most part, performed with that typical cheekiness.

Didn't much care for the previous album.

So cool! Picking up a 60’s/early 70’s mods vibe, but then adding 80’s indierock, making it unique at the time. Still love it today!

Rimelig godt, men også med et par 'meh' numre.

I saw Oasis in a tiny pub when their first single was released. They were crap. I feel warmer towards them now but they do magpie a lot of stuff. The swagger is good.

YES! This album defined my early teens! The distorted guitar riffs, the off-key vocals (that give it it's all anyways), the corny yet impactful lyrics! I love it all. The album also just feels cohesive and coherent. Each song flows intuitively into each other. Strong album from start to finish!

Very positively impressed! I like this album!

Pretty Mid. Glad I made it this far in my life without listening to an entire oasis album. Probably would’ve liked it more if I was younger.

Overall I can just say this album is fine. I don’t think the band had found their sound with it being their first album, and a lot of the songs are too long and dull in my opinion.

The instrumental are great but the vocals sucks

great catchy pop rock. hit after hit

Margt hér sem ég ætti að fíla, verandi almennt skotinn í britpoppi. Hér eru það bara gítararnir sem eru ágætlega nýttir, en þessir textar, þessi söngur, og þetta attitúd ... úff barasta!! Það eru ekki öll lögin jafn leiðinleg, en ekkert lag er gott.

One of the best albums of all time.

I always maintained that I didn't actually like Oasis, but mind changed. It started out take or leave and then somewhere around Supersonic it got me. Then it just went from there and by the last song, I was well in. I thought it was the drummer that hooked me because gosh damn that drumming is epic... but then the last song had no drumming and in fact, sealed the five stars. Love it. LOVE IT.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is a far superior album

Not my favorite, although I recognize it might have felt like a groundbreaking album at the time.

Thought I would like this more than I did! It was just a little boring.

Also boring

I like the sound of the entire album, but really like 3 of the songs in particular. I probably wouldn't skip any of them if they were to come on the radio, though. Very good, influential album! :)

Britpop bleibt Britpop. It’ll always be a hard pass for me. The last song was alright, but I didn’t need anything leading up to that.

Highlights: Rock'n'Roll Star, Live Forever, Columbia, Slide Away

Highlights: Up In The Sky, Married With Children

5 ⭐️ for effortless cool and a plenitude of hooks, minus 1 ⭐️ for everything sounding kind of the same

Too rowdy for me

Amazing in 1994, feels a bit one-note now, the follow up was more interesting

Nice

Banco oasis la vdd 7/10

Am I including this historical album filled with iconic cuts in my own list, as flawed as said album is sometimes? *Shall* I include it, in spite of a guitar wall of sound that didn't age that well, and a couple of annoying fillers in its tracklisitiing? Definitely Maybe. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: less than 700, I've temporarily lost count here Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens:  approximately a half so far  Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: a quarter (including this one, most probably) Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): the last quarter

It was nice familiarizing myself with Oasis' music as I always wanted to get into them but never got around to it. I thought the album was pretty good and recognized maybe one of their songs from elsewhere. Nice listen. 8/10.

I still blame Oasis for bringing 'Wonderwall' into this world, but I'll try not to hold that against them for the duration of this album. I guess my first question is: does Oasis ever begin to not sound whiny? Like, does it take a few listens to 'get it?' Because so far the lead singer just sounds like he's obnoxious moaning about everything the entire time. I guess I do appreciate this album for helping me realize I'll never like Oasis.

A man said "sUnShyiiiiien" Never really been an Oasis fan but was pleasantly surprised. Fave track - Supersonic

Songs are quite long and a bit repetitive favs - Supersonic Digsy Dinner Married with Children

- Heard this before - 90s classic - Feel like it's a slightly better album than Morning Glory because it feels more cohesive and not just a lot of singles - Some of Oasis' best songs - Fav songs: Live Forever, Supersonic, Married with Children

Makes me feel bad about giving that blur album 1 star. This is so much worse. Why does the singer always sound like he's trying to shit out a brick? Last song was kind of ok, I guess.

Banger

The perfect debut album.. Epic!

In order to fully enjoy this album you need to be a teenager in 90’s Britain. Which happily I was. Hard to over estimate the impact this album (and the follow up) had on my generation I’ll never not listen to this without being transported back to my teenage years. Know every song like the back of my hand. Rock n roll Star and Cigarettes and Alcohol remain as alive as ever, whilst Slide Away has matured like a fine wine

Excellent!

3.5 - It’s like drinking some national lager, like a Budweiser or a Carlsberg or a Heineken - satisfying enough though neither interesting nor memorable. At best it provides a backdrop for good times with friends.

This was a time when it was a great thing to have two different albums by one great band in this project. I was definitely familiar with the incredible Morning Glory but not this album, their debut. I really appreciated hearing where Oasis came from before that album. This felt a little more raw and rock n roll and I loved it. I will probably pronounce "sunshine" like this forever more.

I think cramming multiple days of homework into one may have resulted in less love for this album than I could have had. I listened back-to-back with some other 90s rock, and although I liked this album more than that one, as it had a lighter feel, I was ready to move on to something else.

Wheeeee! This put me in a GREAT mood and that is not an easy thing to do. Fits perfectly in my brain.

I jumped on the Oasis bandwagon after the follow-up to this album “What’s the Story, Morning Glory?” But I don’t recall ever listening to this album. Glad I did, because it is excellent.

This one and the (even better) Morning Glory album are their claim to glory, afterwards, Oh Well... Like their f-you-attitude, the way Liam spits out the words when singing, the raw sound, very much inspired by the classic Brittish guitar sound. This one 4 stars and the Morning Glory will get 5 if it will be included in the 1001 albums.

Great

those britpop boys knew what they were doing. blur is and always will be better, but rock and roll star is a fucking classic

Poorly recorded and songs me editing down

Didn’t hold up as well as I hoped, although I admire how liam can get so many syllables out of the word “shine”

Just a drone

Another Oasis album? I gave Morning Glory 5 stars, how much more fucking pandering do the Brits need?!? How the hell haven't I heard any Beatles yet? For the first two tracks, I liked the familiar Oasis sound but a little grittier. I was thinking I hadn't heard any of this music before until Live Forever came on and an omnipresent 'uuuggghhh' surrounded me. Gonna live forever. Right, forgot about that one. Supersonic is a fine song, but I'd like to hear it faster and tighter. Overall this album is pretty good. Nothing stands out too much, just consistent. I love the spirit, but maybe the song craft is not quite developed. I just never got hooked by this. Maybe it's a bit dated. It is interesting to hear the seeds of what Oasis will become though.

Pretty good, the production quality on some songs is a bit questionable 🤔

90s defining album

This changed my life. People tend to get very snobby when it comes to Oasis, but they were a cultural phenomenon in the UK. Almost overnight people changed they way they dressed, the way they spoke… A genuine landmark band.

Patpat.

I’m starting to think this list is very partial to UK-based artists. Anyways, this is the Wanker Brothers’ debut record. Right off the bat, the production is garbage. Very muddy wall of sound style guitars. Can get fatiguing to listen to. But luckily the songs are pretty good so it kinda makes up for that. They are probably the most polarizing band of all time but you can’t deny this is just a massive debut record that immediately boosted their popularity. Using meth before going onstage certainly helps.

I can't say I like these guys as individuals or understand their status as superstars. It's OK but it's their swagger I don't like.

Not their best album. Middle-of-the-road Britpop.

Good but morning glory is better

Great feel good album. Very well produced.

Classic

Oasis are a fun band. They clearly pride themselves on delivering premium rock: loud guitars, big energy, plenty of attitude. But at the core of their songs there’s always a seed of a catchy melody. Good pop songwriting and singalong choruses are just as important to them as blaring feedback and guitar solos. They clearly worship The Beatles; aside from an explicit reference to “Yellow Submarine” on “Supersonic,” there are little moments here and there that remind me of other Beatles songs. Also Liam Gallagher kinda sounds like John Lennon sometimes. Ok so here’s my funny line about Oasis: You know how you get a Coke bottle sometimes and it says ‘Made from 40% recycled plastics’? Oasis makes music from 40% recycled rock songs. Listen to the beginning of “Cigarettes and Alcohol” — they totally rip off the opening riff of T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong.” A bunch of times throughout this album I thought, ‘Ooh that reminds me of something,’ but for some reason I give them a free pass when they copy other artists. It feels playful when they do it. They drop in a melody or chord progression from another song but then change it up and do something different with it. It triggers a memory in my brain, makes me smile and that nostalgic feeling for classic rock transfers onto their music. Oasis are rock star pros. They know what they’re doing. (Btw, I love how he sounds drunk on “Cigarettes and Alcohol” - that’s a fun touch.)

Oasis is amazing. I've never followed them so deeply to know them beyond their singles but this list has been great at making me do these deeper dives. And to be honest I don't even think it's so much of a deep dive to check out huge records by huge bands. Just somethin ya gotta do. I love the in-the-pocket laid back drum groove on "Columbia". Really tight and really fun hearing the vocals and drums BOTH feel like they are dragging the song- but they are doing it together and are juuuust aligned enough that the song keeps slithering along. This one apparently has been in a back-and-forth with people when they ponder which Oasis album is the best one. I try not to let outside opinions interject into my thoughts too much on this project but I just read an article that claims that this album has more 9/10 to 10/10 tracks on it- that it's more consistently strong than "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". I gotta say though- "Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back in Anger", and "Champagne Supernova" all being on ONE record and that record not being the BEST record for a band is wildly impressive. I'm also trying to not let bands other releases change my ratings too much here but to me this isn't as good as "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". It's a really solid album but maybe not a 5/5 for me. I think it's like a 4.4 and just short of being high enough to round-up. I love this album cover too. I think the 1990s is my favorite era for album covers. They tend to not stick SO tightly to a visual style/aesthetic (like the 70s, 80s albums did), but to me felt more guided by the content inside of the image and what's going on in the scene. Maybe the 90s were more the start of this idea rather than a decade that is unique in this; because now that I consider it I don't think the 2000s or 2010s really were so glued to the visual decade-vibe like the 70s and 80s were. I might not be wording that to well but I think it would be a great discussion to have!

classic max-out-the-levels Oasis

I love the Beatles, and a lot of Beatles fans seem to like Oasis, but it just isn't quite there for me. I do not like Britpop very much, so I didn't really expect to like Oasis. Also, I already knew I hated their most popular song. Still, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, as I half expected to give it a 1, but it didn't do much for me. It felt very long and I was glad when it ended. My favourite song was Married with Children, I guess.

18 ans encore

définitivement un peut-être

not that keen on vocals; but the lush guitars and cheery pop tunes are enjoyable. Actually, the vocals are mildly irritating. typical white man whine at the end of every long note really gets on your nerves. no lyrical standouts, but god the instrumentals are fantastic. faves: live forever,

3/5. A fairly good rock album but some songs do not hit. They seem like pop songs forced onto rock songs.

One of the pillars of BritPop

- I feel like Oasis was the Coldplay of the 90’s

Todo un disco de rock con buenas canciones, estilo inconfundible y predominio de estilo de pop-rock inglés

Okay--I vaguely recalled some of these songs, and thought it was pretty good, then wondered, "Wait, who's Oasis?" So I looked at their top songs--which are all from their later album and include... Wonderwall. Of meme fame. And Champagne Supernova, etc. I like this older album a bit better, it was more cluttered and had scratchy edges which I enjoyed. Overall though? This just isn't long-term-love music for me. It's good alt rock.

Is Oasis overrated? some might think so, but I still love them. Something about just making fun and enjoyable music that still speaks to your teenager self makes this a great album.

this was great! really liked a few songs on here

I really liked this album. Oasis can rock pretty hard. Fav song was Live Forever.

I have/had (not sure which) this on CD but don't think I ever really listened much. This was generally pretty good, I enjoyed it.

****

I was really hoping to give this a low score. I hate Oasis. All of it. I listened to this album a year ago and hated it. So why don't I hate it now? This is bearable now, perhaps due to my slow appreciation of noisier rock and electronic music. The vocalist is whiney and the instrumentation is too loud and busy, but not in an aesthetically pleasing way like many shoegaze bands I'm into. More than any other Britpop band, Oasis takes inspiration from the Madchester movement; I'm hearing a lot of Happy Mondays and Primal Scream. It relies on the same repetitive formula of conflicting swirly and groovy guitars and woozy drawn-out vocals. It's not as versatile or interesting as bands like Ride. A lot of fans obsess over this album. Has a ton of hits that were big in the UK, in addition to the fan favorite "Slide Away". They're dispersed well to keep audiences engaged. For me, the only standout is the pop hit "Live Forever", it's catchy and full of energy, and I like the jangly guitars. The only issue is the solo is a bit on the generic side. I can see why this record was so influential with middle-class anthems like "Cigarettes & Alcohol" but besides the hooks and cheery instrumentation, it feels unnecessarily busy, as if it's trying to say a lot without actually saying anything. On the other hand, it was hard for me to hate any of the tracks. And trust me, I tried. "Bring it On Down" is out-of-place, starting out with a Joy Division-like gothic intro and then turning out to be pretty forgettable. Many songs start to get annoying by the half way point due to the extensive lengths, but this is the worst with "Shakermaker". I could see the appeal of "Slide Away" which probably has his best vocal performance and powerful guitar chords to emotionally impact audiences, but it still felt empty to me. This might be a grower. Favorites: Live Forever, Up in the Sky, Digsy's Diner

3+

Yeah, solid 90s rock. That last track tho

I like oasis. Decent album.

Still diggin the 90's Beatles

Very good, not 5 stars. Blends together after a while

Somewhat overrated in the best album of all time lists that appear all too frequently these days. Catchy (and quite often familiar!) tunes let down by shockingly poor lyrics.

I didn't quite get it but I could with more listens i think

I've never really "gotten" Oasis, sure it's not easy to write a popular song, but these guys write such paint-by-numbers songs that I feel like most of the mystique is in their terrible attitudes and haircuts. This was more of the same. Don't hate it, but watching a kettle boil might be just as entertaining.

It's good, but "whats the story morning glory" is better. It was their first album, it was definitely different than the mid-90s grunge music.

Maybe I need to explore britrock a little more huh

Rock N Roll Star sounds like an ode to Kurt Cobain and The Beatles almost, with the loud guitars of the early 90s but the fun pop sound of the mid 60s. Shakermaker is loosely based on a 12 bar blues and a catchy riff. The vocals on this track are fine. The song doesn’t seem to resolve very musically, or at least upon first listen to my ears. Live Forever’s composition sounds very Pop Radio oriented, especially the chorus. This song is fine, perfectly fun. Up In The Sky has lyrics that are dripping in Generation X angst. “I heard that the shine’s gone out of your life, well that’s just too bad, welcome to my world!” Noel Gallagher was likely listening to the American Grunge records that were globally popular. Supersonic is so simple yet so catchy; it makes sense why this was one of the leading singles for this record. Bring It On Down is short, sweet, and to the point. How this wasn’t one of the leading singles for Definitely Maybe blows my mind. I can’t really comment on anything else, it’s all similar in Pop fashion. Overall, this record is a very fun listen. I can hear Noel Gallagher’s angst all over this record, and it hasn’t ever been more fun. These guys definitely like Shoegaze, Sex Pistols, The Beatles, and Achtung Baby era U2. Liam Gallagher is a moron. 3.75/5

Never been a fan of Oasis

Every once in awhile there's an Oasis song that I really like. And everything in between is garbage. This album represents that.

dizem que são copia de beatles, não sei como me sinto sobre essa afirmação ja que a esse ponto quem não copiou algo dos beatles provavelmente não fez sucesso algum. pra ser sincero essa primeira, rock and roll star me lembra mais david bowie do que beatles. up in the sky lembrou rain so que com distorção. é um bom album, nada de mais na minha opinião, harmonias mais complexas do que o normal mas nada surreal, linhas de baixo simples, letras abstratas interessantes e arranjos legais mas realmente nada que explodiu minha cabeça. eu aprecio o fato de ser um album de 50 minutos com musicas de 5-6 minutos e não ter ficado chato em momento algum. cigarretes & alcohol e digsy's dinner são minhas preferidas pela pegada mais rock and roll. slide away tambem é boa, bem catchy e ativa aquela bobeira adolescente.

This album started off slow for me. After the 3rd song it really became a winner. Other than wonder wall I've never bothered to give this band a listen. That changed today. These guys can really groove, the something is good as well as musicianship.

Hated it

Such a great album. Oasis at their peak. Best Songs: Rock 'n' Roll Star, Supersonic and Slide Away. And Live Forever is one of the great songs to come out of the 90s. The Gallaghers hit a home run here.

I think this means we are officially done with Oasis since there are only two well known albums. Enjoyed this one about as much as the last one. Just a couple of guys jamming in a small apartment by the looks of the cover. After listening to the whole thing, I think I liked their other album more, nothing really stood out for me on this one.

Really didn't expect that we'd get a second album from Oasis after getting the one with "Wonderwall" AND "Champagne Supernova." There are a few tracks on here that I liked, and I especially enjoy the chord progression of "Slide Away," but I can't help but think of other albums that deserve a spot here instead of another from these guys. I mean, they're pretty good, but this isn't "1001 Pretty Good Albums," a list like that could be made at random. Decent album, but it's on the chopping block. Favorite tracks: Slide Away, Live Forever, Supersonic. Album art: Guys sitting around, laying around in a flat I presume. Brainstorming on their next pretty good rock album. Title's perfectly wishy-washy too. 3/5

I've somehow managed to live over 32 years on this earth without listening to any of Oasis' albums in their entirety. I've always been pretty firm in my dislike of them apart from a few songs. However, I knew going into this journey that I would probably have to listen to about 3 of them at least, and I completely understand why this one is on the list. So I tried to go into this with an open mind. Unfortunately, this was close to torture for me, apart from "Live Forever", "Columbia" and "Supersonic". And even those songs aren't that good. They wrote some good melodies and obviously know how to play their instruments well, to some degree. But the lyrics...as Phife Dawg famously said, "Go get yourself some toilet paper, cuz your lyrics is butt".

More energetic than I expected. Fun guitar-driven pop-rock

blur better

Standouts were Columbia and Slide Away. Lead singers voice is very nostalgic for early 2000s

Some bands take years and several albums to find their voice, Oasis come out of the gate, glass the waiter, steal someone's pint and leave. Its got to be up there in the best debuts. Oasis get a bad rep for being overly simplistic rock and roll for football hooligans. And I get that viewpoint, I do, but those people should lighten up, its great songwriting done well and with attitude and the wall of guitars sound is timeless. I absolutely adore the opening bars of "Live Forever", its a classic musical moment and for that reason id probably point to it as my standout song. I'm only not giving this 5 stars by its unfortunate virtue of not being "(What's the story) Morning Glory?". Its not Definitely Maybe's fault of course but sometimes you get overshadowed by your more successful sibling.

I always used to think this was the better of their first two albums. I’m beginning to doubt myself but it’s still an absolute belter. 5 stars all the way.

3+

I don't think I appreciated Oasis as much as I should have. Always loved Wonderwall even though it's become the butt of jokes. It's a legit GOAT song. Live Forever, Supersonic and Slide Away are gonna be on repeat for me moving forward

I always gave my son shit about this band, saying they were nothing but a modern Beatles. I know that statement is not true, but still doesn't make me a big fan. Also, those guys have the most punchable face in music. I'd like to beat the shit out of both of them. Pretty sure I could take both, at the same time no less. But I'd buy them a beer after I kick their ass..... Rock n Roll star was first song and probably my favorite song on the Album. Know Live Forever and Supersonic from the radio and enjoyed both. Songs that surprised me and enjoyed, Up in the Sky and Married with children. Overall, wasn't a bad listen. I'll say a 3, but really a 2.5 because these guys just look like they should get their ass kick anytime they show their face

5 It’s tough to put my feelings about Oasis into words. Like Luke, I want to save most of my thoughts for when (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? eventually shows up on here so I guess I’ll be brief. I love this album. This one grew on me over the years but songs like “Supersonic” and “Live Forever” have been permanent staples of my in-head jukebox since I first heard them. I still remember driving home from school and thinking “damn, I really like ‘Married with Children” or how I had the CD from the library for over 3 months past it’s due date (I’m still paying that fine off). Point is this is an important band and album to me. There are others that are more so by Oasis but this stands proudly amongst my all time faves.

4 A welcome surprise. There’s a lot I could say about Oasis, but I’d like to save most of it for (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? - And if it didn't make the list, then I guess those thoughts go unpublished. For now, I’ll say high school wouldn’t have been the same without the band. Anyway, regarding this particular album, while not their best (I would put it under both the aforementioned and Masterplan personally), this is still a classic 90s alternative rock record and among Britpop best. Rock n Roll Star is a great opener, and I’ve loved it from the second I first heard it in the form as You All Everybody by Drive Shaft on Lost (it’s the same song and you can’t convince me otherwise). Supersonic, Live Forever, and Cigarettes & Alcohol are of course certified classics, but there were even a few songs here and there like Shakermaker, Up in the Sky, and Bring It On Down that I had forgotten about and enjoyed more than I remember. Not every song is a banger, but they’re all at least pretty good. Far from the first time I’ve heard this one, and while I don’t think it’ll ever be the Oasis album I return to most, it’s definitely one I’ll re-visit from time to time again.

Some good hits but not as solid as their first album

Pretty good! Added about half the songs to my Spotify

Knowing them only from “Wonderwall”, this was pretty good. At its best made me think about underwater cities, which is a winner for me. iirc there’s like a fan feud between them and Blur? going off this, I think I’m probably Team Blur

I loathe oasis

Mediocre and muddy

Enjoyed it

Nope.

I've been trying to come up with something in regards to Definitely Maybe but, what more can be said about this? A perfect storm of Mancunian circumstances that was ready to torpedo any and everything that moved, regardless of whether or not one was ready. A vastly different facet of Britpop that cared less about post-punk/new wave reminiscing and more about pummeling, piledriving good old fashioned rock and roll, Oasis were ready to pick up a new baton for those who were more inclined to having a good time and forgetting your ills. One of the greatest albums of the 90s? Oh, definitely maybe.

Velade mellan en trea eller fyra men när sista låten Married with children dök upp så blev valet enkelt.

Je m'attendais a plus on dkraot, ce n'est pas le meilleur mais c'est quand meme trrs oasis. 3.5

Toujours bon du Oasis! Un peu moins de chansons connues, mais toutes de qualité!

top 5 album for me

Excellent in an unassuming way, which is not what I have been primed to expect from Oasis. This is an album that, at first blush, I can say has a moderate amount of filler that still deserves to be there. That's not an impression I'm used to having, but the sequencing of Definitely Maybe does the job. The seamless runtime has me getting some of the Oasis hype without bringing to mind any particular song highlights. Simply a solid rendition of British musical past, present, and niche.

Heard a few songs from this, but there's a few I've not heard before, and I'd say I'm a bit more familiar with (What's The Story) Morning Glory?. It's a great album though. I can't help but feel that Liam's voice grates on me just a little bit, the more Oasis I hear, but it's still just an excellent British album. Absolutely love the riffs especially. Favourite: Supersonic

30 years later, still a Nope from me but the original is still available so stop listening to the remasters and save yourself precious hours!

Pretty good vibes going on. Certainly sounds like the 90's

This album was ok. Most of the songs sound like other bands and there is nothing remarkable about anything.

Needs a relisten but I like the rough sounds

not sure I'd ever listened to this entire album before and think I preferred to whats the story

Definitely OK

Some nice British 90s rock. Honestly pretty good if you forget they are the band that made wonderwall.

Doesn’t have wonder wall on it 👎

No es un 5 estrellas pero son 4 muy altas. Sobretodo por las 4 canciones con las que empieza el album: «Rock 'N' Roll Star», «Shakermaker», «Live Forever» y «Up In The Sky». A esas les sumas «Supersonic» y «Married With Children» y ya tienes un disco que merece la pena oir más de una vez en tu vida.

It's fine. Oasis is fine.

Good vibe. Love the sound

2.5/5. Did not really like this. I guess it's not bad, but it's pretty boring. Most of the songs sound the same.

Never liked the singer’s voice. Songs were meh.

OH LOVE OASIS. Many people hate them and call them generic (including my dad) but idc. Not their best album though. Fav tracks: live forever, slide away, supersonic

It's definitely a defining record of it's era

Pretty ok, finally some not metal.

Not their best album - that would easily be What's the story morning glory'. Some great tracks on this but in retrospect it sounds a bit unsophisticated in both the production and arrangement..

Sentimental rating - probably. Not as good as Morning Glory, but still a 5/5

I thought all the songs sounded the same but then I realized it was still track 2. There’s unnecessary use of a poorly developed falsetto. Then again, maybe that was just track 4, I’ve lost all sense of time as everything just draggggggggs on.

Some bangers with the rest being kind of annoying

love this album, 9/10

Got a couple classics really good over-all album for me

Definitely Maybe wasn’t the first Britpop album, but Oasis’s debut is arguably what made the genre into a phenomenon. Rough around the edges, but has a delightful sneer.

So now it's time for the less known album of one of the most overplayed bands in history (in commercial radio and whenever someone has a guitar in hostel). There is a lot of controversies around the group, especially Gallagher brothers, but I think the quality of music talked louder than other non-artistic excesses they provided to tabloids. The only one I was interested in was their rivalry with Blur, which died pretty early on. Definitely Maybe is a proper example of the brit pop/rock genre that started afresh in 90s, but the album was still leaning into a little bit heavier tunes, taking some pages from grunge and even late punk. The record has fewer of the big hits Oasis produced on later albums, which makes this one really consistent and very equal all around. The songs flow from one to another In a cohesive way, making it easy to listen to, but also making it a little too predictable and overall uneventful. It is very easy to listen to the whole album on autopilot, just forgetting something is on in the background. The two supposedly highlights of the record, "Supersonic" and "Cigarettes & Alcohol" don't have that magic yet, as they would achieve with Wonderwall, for example. Overall its a very nice album, just lacking any spark, but clearly showing that the band is capable of much more in the future.

Cool album. At first I thought it was kinda trash but there were a a few bangers nd i was like oh shit nvm. Slide Away, Columbia, Supersonic are the standouts. Probably would like it more with concurrent listens, but rn I'm feeling a 7.5/10.

"Cannae help feeling that Manchester had a witch of some sort, that promised musicians fame and fortune, with one catch. You will later become a right stupid cunt and an embarrassment." - Limmy Then again, Limmy also noted that Johnny Marr, Bez and Shaun Ryder were just a bit too cool to be considered members of the cunt club. The Gallagher brothers though? Oof. Way before the cocaine fever dream that was 'Be Here Now', Definitely Maybe is the progenitor for their pompous shiteheadery and inflated sense of musical worth. I can understand why people would like this, but Oasis to me is a lot of background noise played by psychedelic wannabes, singing about mystical junkie incantations brought on by four eccies and the coronation of a Burger King crown. If Oasis really want to be 60s, they ought to take their sleeping meds and call the carer for an early night. 2 stars, one because I like Mad Fat Diary, two because Noel Gallagher is... sort of okay these days.

Alright album, I preffered the second half, the first half the songs sounded too similar, the last song made the album have a rather satisfying conclusion

I can’t seem to find the words for this album. Maybe this is a product of its time, preaching to the youth of the 90’s. Maybe it’s the overwhelming sound they produce. Maybe it’s the bias from the Gallagher Brothers inevitable falling out and impressive feats of being C*nts. Maybe it’s the fact that you can visually identify a diehard Oasis fan from how much of a moron they are. Maybe I can find the words to describe the general ambivalence towards this album. Yes, definitely maybe.

A'ight

There weren't any songs that Really grabbed me but I did enjoy their sound overall and I thought it was very consistent for the whole album. This would be a good record to put on while you're making, like, a moderately complicated dinner.

Its okey 2

I was more team Blur back in the day. But I did still appreciate the musicality of the Oasis camp. This album was better than I remember it and very polished. Don’t quite understand how the Gallagher brothers managed it.

I understand there is a loyal following for this band. This album has a good sound but, for me, there was something missing, something sterile...or hollow maybe, that left me a bit empty.

Every wanker in the UK in 1994: “oh my god I love overlong tedious songs with the worst lyrics you’ve ever heard sung in an annoying voice”

Drones a bit

favourite song: cigarettes and alcohol least favourite song: columbia

Great album, what’s the story morning glory is the shining album, but good tracks on this one as well.

Definitely no LOL

Least insufferable Oasis moment

Great to hear how it all started. Not one I'll go back too

It's not the best Oasis album but it sets up everything that makes "Morning Glory" the best. It's all here, they just hadn't quite figured out how to dial the Oasisness up to 11 yet. It's still a damn good album.

Great opening song and generally great album

"Defintely Maybe" is the debut album from Oasis. It is attributed to the revitalization of the Brit-pop music in the 1990's and seminal in the whole Brit-pop music scene...more optimistic than what was going on in grunge at the time. I will say that this album is quite a bit more rockin' than what I think of Brit-pop today... really only "Digsy's Dinner" give me that Brit-pop feel. It reminded more of classic 70's with its guitar bridges and guitar over-layers. However, the album creation did get off to a rocky start with the first two productions/producers being thrown away/fired and finally landing on Owen Morris who took away some of the orginal overdubs. The album was a huge success, selling 8.5 million copies world-wide. The album kicks off with "Rock 'n' Roll Star." A guitar intro, well produced, rocks pretty hard. Liam Gallagher, never the bashful one, lives to be the rock and roll star. "Shakermaker" is the second song and single. Slide guitar. The lyrics are about noticing the world around including things like coca-cola. "Live Forever" is slower, more pop-oriented, classic guitar bridge and the first song I remember, being in the US. It was a big international song. Liam continues his stardom quest about the immortality of rock stars. The album second half continues the slew of hits with "Supersonic" and the album's first single. Another guitar -driven song, slower though. Here's the alluded to optimism about getting out and making something out of yourself. I thought I changed the station as "Cigarettes & Alcohol" started and I was listening to T. Rex's "Bang a Gong." A pretty classic 70's glam rock sounding song. That's fine with me. The middle class appeal of cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. "Slide Away" was to be the fifth single from the album but Liam didn't think a debut album should have that many singles. A pretty-standard sounding rock song and structure but these guys do make it sound good. Great vocals by Liam. Songs from this album were the first of the Brit-pop songs I heard for awhile. As I recall we didn't get a lot of exposure to them in the US unless you were specifically looking them (initially, I missed out on bands like Suede, Manic Street Preachers and Pulp). No matter my opinion personally of the Gallagher brothers, this is a very good album which rocked a little harder than I remember.

Never got into this band

Excellent record

Nope

Nice, classic 90s British pop sound. Fav track: Live Forever

Even though I don't think I've ever heard this album, I've heard this sound. I got some serious nostalgia from when I was a teenager. Felt good man. I did not expect to like this album as much as I did.

Good album. Can't believe I've never heard it.

Wasn’t horrible. Like some of the music. Would listen to it again but wouldn’t add to playlist or spend money on it.

very good album, surprised me a lot. I was convinced i wouldn't like this but i was very surprised. Songs like supersonic or rock and roll super tar were my favourite

Generation defining awesomeness

Powerful, straightforward rock and roll, with a lot of that English flair that Oasis specializes in. To me, they are an obvious extension of the Madchester sound of the 1980's with a cleaner and more powerful vibe.

Great album.

Overplayed and a bit whiny in places

9/12/2022

1994. Live Forever, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Supersonic

I've already heard this one and I would call its Oasis' greatest achievement because the band just have an incredible energy and a truly admirable love for their craft on this record. The melodies are gorgeous throughout and The production, while very loud, never sounds grating and always guides the listener with only a couple instruments playing at once perfectly complementing the life-afferming feel of the music. An Essential Record.

GOOD.

Oasis have an annoying trait of making a solid 3 minute song last for about 5 minutes despite clearly running out of ideas That being said, this album has some of their strongest songs - opener Rock n Roll Star is the major exception to the above rule, Live Forever is a great time, Supersonic is silly but fun, and Married With Children is a lovely little closer. It really drags in places though, and Shakermaker is downright awful

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.

Such a classic britpop album, full of absolute bangers. Loved this album since I was 14 anyways, don't have many new thoughts about it.

Britpop de Oasis. Está bien. Un 4.

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.

Great album

Nostalgia. I remember it being better.

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

Really digging the nasal voice from Liam on this record. The record has a very heavy Beatlesesque sound which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Oasis adds their own sound to the music while still showing their influences from The Rolling Stones to The Beatles. Although their song writing is not nearly as polished or well crafted, it is still clever and fun. The band had a very clear vision as to what they wanted to sound like and they stuck closely to it. Favorite Track: Married With Children, Digsy's Dinner Least Favorite Track: Bring it On Down

A classic

el nuevo sonido del rock britanico llegaba y para quedarse a influenciar a varios. Antes de llegar su gran obra a mi gusto (whats the story morning glory) la banda llega con su debut para romper taquillas y abrir la puerta al britpop. fav songs: rock n roll star live forever (himno) supersonic ✰ bring it on down cigarettes and alcohol slide away married with children ✰ 4.3 / 4.5

A solid fun album, Live Forever is an absolute classic and one of my favourite songs. However, there are some tracks on here which aren’t as good, dragging it down from a 5.

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

Great example of what 90’s British Grunge was then. Cigarettes and Alcohol was my favorite

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

Boring slog. Feels like it can't decide between pop and punk, so it does neither.

Really liked it! First album suggested. Oasis rocked harder than I remembered.

Classic, worn out tape memories.

Bueno, aunque no es el mejor de ossis

Yeaaah pretty great

Leonard e crazzy

Biblical

Ogillar sångaren, tråkigt ljud, själva låtarna är inte ens så bra. Det fanns en hit jag såg fram emot men den var medioker också...

Great album. Production could be better I think the tracks could hit more. Live Forever is a fantastic track same with Rock n Roll Star.

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.

Is it my imaginašjon

Definitivno možda je ovo jedan od najboljih brit pop albuma. Haters gonna hate.

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

I’ve loved this his album since I first heard it in 1994.

I honestly want to give them most stars but I’ve always found their music to be pretentious and premadonna-ish. Never been a fan of their music overall

More rock-y than I thought Oasis was I liked it a lot, hadn't heard any of these songs. Just the most popular by Oasis Would be 4.5 stars

I've never liked oasis so I went in to this album expecting to not like it. I can see why other people would enjoy it but it's not for me. The songs are boring and the vocalist has an incredibly annoying voice.

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.

Oasis tried really hard to be the Beatles of the mid-nineties. I'd argue that they succeeded in many ways. The music is clearly rooted in the Beatles, they blew up fast and ended quickly, they were dysfunctional in all the most interesting ways. Liam and Noel. John and Paul. Which one was the real talent? Who needed who more? Anyway, this band was like the soundtrack of most of my high school career. Love it. "Morning Glory" is better, but this is a solid album. Married with Children is the perfect song to end on.

Cracking debut! Favourite track > 'Supersonic'

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

oasis is trying to do a beatles-stones crossover thing and they end up being worse than both, but this album is still very listenable. very much of its time, but it’s of its time because it inspired a lot of other people. not my favorite but solid overall

Always been more of a WTSMG fan, but I can see how the rawer guitars and mad-fer-it attitude of the debut would be some people’s preference, especially if they were aged ~12-25 when it came out. Plus, it’s got Live Forever, Supersonic and Slide Away on it, which are worth most of my 4.5 star rating on their own.

when will this site finally give me something that’s actually good

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

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

A fantastic album, full of excellent albeit very familiar material. The standard is high throughout, with only one to two tracks dipping a little.

Definitely not. Mediocre Beatles/T-Rex karaoke in a pub round the corner from Maine Road.

Definitely dated.

britpap

7 stars

Never been an Oasis fan

Nostalgic not great.

Those guys really stole a lot from better bands.

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

Personally, I find Oasis to be quite boring. I don't doubt their and songwriting abilities, they have certainly written some catchy tunes that have infiltrated the public consciousness. As a whole however, I find this albums to be like watered down skim milk. The songs here have very little variation to offer beyond the standard guitar strumming at slightly different tempos, straight time drum tracks and whiny vocals who's messaging can be summed up as "I'm pretty cool and should definitely be famous" Fav Tracks: Digsy's Diner, Married With Children

Oasis su valjda jedini bend zbog kojeg pomislim da tekstovi fakat nisu bitni, ali mi je zato zauvijek super liamovo naglašavanje. Sanšaijajn

💚 I'd be 20 Forever...

I like Oasis much more than I thought I did.

samey

Oasis is one of those band I hadn't bothered to listen to beyond a couple of their best known songs and I've probably heard more about their personal squabbles and gossipy news stories than their actual music. This is my first full listen to this album, Oasis's debut, Definitely Maybe. It definitely makes an impression, as the music is catchy and rocks out pretty good and it definitely has it's moments. I don't know if the band deserves all the hype they received when it was first released, but the music stands up as above average and I must admit I enjoyed it. The band might be overrated, but on this album, they "put their money where their mouth is", an excellent record.

Sounds like Oasis.

It’s fine.

Essential 90s culture and a seminal BritPop album. Do I think the lyrics make sense? Nah. Are they catchy? Yeah.

I like What’s The Story better but this one is sick
