I like their other album a lot and was hoping this one would be good but it was so bland, just generic 90s rock. I can't believe the outro to Columbia was the same guitar riff repeated for almost 2 minutes. 2.5 Stars
I didn' t care for this music.
maybe
Def more a fan of what's the story morning glory
Pop-rock. Beetje ruis met zang eigenlijk; niet iets wat mijn interesse wekt. Ik heb het gevoel dat ik continu aan het wachten ben op de knaller. **
It was good but didn't feel super special. Unclear why anyone thought Oasis was the biggest thing since the Beatles, because there's really not much innovative sound in this album.
I like his sloppy singing attitude. But it just doesn't hold a match to the better stuff of the era
💩
I'm not really sure what to say about this one. It's oasis, it sounds like oasis. A lot of their music kinda blends into one wall of sound for me. Bring It On Down did break it up a bit. It's decent, but never really been my thing. Solidly OK, often more enjoyable a few pints in.
honestly pretty generic
does not touch me, boring, foreseeable
There should be an edict that songs longer than four-and-a-half minutes should be reserved for prog, jazz, dance etc and not for beatles-inspired pop rock
Music good. Lyrics annoyingly vapid
I guess I’m not a britpop fan
Quintessential '90s alt-rock -- I only knew 'Wonderwall' so it was interesting to hear more of their stuff, but probably not an album I'd come back to in the future.
Meh
Another UK centric pick. Jangly bad songs.
So, bland. Not the worst, but I was glad to be done with this one.
It's like listening to The Rolling Stones with a bit of The Beatles and ELO (I love ELO). For me the album is too noisy and scratchy. The only songs I found ok were "Up in the Sky" and "Married with Children". It's not the type of music I would listen to though.
ugh
3 and a half hours
Wayyyyy too repetitive even tho I usually like the Oasis
Oasis would have been a good band if it wasn't for the gallagher brothers being such garbage individuals. The music is okay, the vocals are whiney and the guitar/beats are typical.
The definitive one hit wonder band. I know I say this a lot but man so many of these songs all sound the same. At one point I thought we were listening to Wonderwall but it was a song that sounded almost exactly like the lead up to chorus of Wonderwall. It’s not terrible but it’s not great kind of just repetitive and forgettable. 4/10
This might be a big, influential album. But I'm team blur, I'm sorry.
It’s fine, I guess. I really didn’t feel anything listening to this. Not even nostalgia, even though I owned it on cassette and listened to it at least several times back in the day.
Meh, maybe it needs another listen tho
To stjerner
I’ve heard of this album but didn’t know a single track. I still don’t. It’s fine but Morning Glory is so much better. I guess this is where Fountains of Wayne got a lot of their inspiration. Does every song have to be 5 minutes or more? Oops. I was wrong. I know and like Married w/Children. One of the two shortest tracks and the most like their better known songs. Tracks added to Spotify: 0
All songs sound the same and follow the same pattern, until the last song, but by then it’s a case of too little too late. Overrated band and album.
Couldn't listen in Canada
After the third or fourth song, it felt like I had been listening to the same thing over, and over, and over.
Live forever was a good song, next
Definitely Maybe not going to listen to this again. No knocks to Oasis, but questionable inclusion on the top 1,000. It sounds like the other Oasis album, which I like better and has three legitimately amazing songs
It sounded very familiar - I don’t remember band names well - so it may have been the same band that it reminded me of. It was ok. Nothing jumped out at me where I thought oh this is great. Although nothing jumped out at me where I thought god I hate this. All the songs seemed very similar throughout the Al I’m.
interesting Definitely Maybe lacks a unique sound, nothing sounds daring or sticks out, and the album falls flat overall. Stand outs on the album include tracks such as Live Forever and Supersonic. Other then those, I felt that this album had nothing notable to give and pales in comparison to Oasis' later albums. Definitely Maybe not listening again.
This guy's voice is the worst
meh, didn’t feel anything maybe because it’s outdated maybe because i put it against ok computer maybe because i have a prejudice
Muddy, poor instrumental mix combined with being tonely flat for the most part. I see how this was with the Brits response to the grunge era but is a pretty forgettable sounding alt rock album. Where is the emotion? Even the slower acoustic stuff just feels fake and bland.
Some might say best Rock and Roll album of the 90s? Nope. All rock and zero roll. This album sounds like it was written and preformed by a couple of arrogant high-schoolers. Unimaginative scaley guitar solos/licks, whiney yell-singing, muddy flat mixing, mediocre lyrics, derivatave drumming, and the most basic base possible - with no rhythm interplay. The fact that many Brit’s consider this album incredible, is horrifying, and it says some very telling things about the state of pop culture in Britain. It’s depressing. I listened to the first Beatles album AND Blur (their immediate competition) album as a comparison, and wow, the first couple of bars of each, blow this lame-dick album out of the water. The one song I thought started with a little creativity (cigarettes and alcohol) is an obvious rip-off of that T-Rex song everyone knows. In all honesty, it’s hard to find anything I like about this album. I can only think of couple: Sometimes their melodies are decent, and some of their bridges are well-crafted, I like the way their voices crack when they push a vocal. I’m sensing the end of this critique, and I’m getting joyful because I know when I press send, I’ll never have to listen to them with attention ever ever again.
1st track : too loud, too much guitars, original ending (3/10) 2nd track : more psychedelic (5/10) 3rd track : a Hit! (7/10) 4th track : to much guitars, boring, repetitive (2/10) 5th track : how to play guitar like a rock'n'roll star ? boorriinngg (1/10) 6th track : more pop, much more better (7/10) 7th track : pretty dark, heavy but to long (4/10) 8th track : the singing is great, but the guitaaaars are to boring (4/10) 9th track : dancing and happy, good vibes with the organ (6/10) 10th track : out of interest. boring, too long, can't bare the guitars... (1/10) 11th track : very good song, soft and pop, guitare voice, simple and effective (7/10) TOTAL : 4,27
Definitely not.
Eh I really don't think this is great
bleh.
Known before: Band Standouts: 3. Live Forever 3.5
While I understand the mass appeal of the whole second British Invasion, and I would say some fun is to be had I. This album, I just got bored with it a few tracks in. It’s not a particularly cohesive album. More of just a jumbled collection of “oh yeah rock n roll” songs. The opener is almost a cringy eye roller, and even the catchier songs are more or less forgettable. Anyway hereswonderwall
It’s ok, a little repetitive.
Why is everything so long. And so loud?
I really expected to hate this. Found the first two songs a bit bland and hard to listen to, but LIve forever felt good and I was in for the ride after that. Still not great and holds no real nostalgia for me. I don't think I'll ever think, \"Man, this calls for Oasis!\" but this was fine and not terrible. 2/5
Maybe a definite pass? Luke warm fan and their best stuff is on later albums.
not the biggest fan of this one. there were some nice ones, but mostly not my vibe.
I didn't think I wanted to hear droning guitar and adult men sob; after listening to this I know for a fact that I do not.
Definitely Maybe not their best effort. Average at best. 2.5/5
Nothing special -all songs sound alike. Has that 90s feel... nothing stands out
I usually like sneering, hirsute rockers, but some of these lyrics are unforgivably bad. I liked them as a teenager but in hindsight not so much.
Overrated band, overrated album.
oh man this band is going to be bigger than the beatles!
This is supposed to be one of their best? Boring, repetitive and uninspired.
Boring
Good
I just dont like Oasis. Their music is as bland as british cuisine
Some of the songs by Oasis hit different, but I keep finding myself just wishing I was listening to the Beatles instead.
bloody thing is arse
I just can’t get over Liam’s vocals
Why do I keep getting generated mid generic albums can I get a good one again?
Not my cup of tea. Lyrics are cliche and so are most of the songs. I get why people like it, but I don’t sadly. It had its moments though, wasn’t down right terrible but it was kinda bad to me.
You can see what people love and hate about Oasis here. A couple decent tracks, but the vocals are nasally and grating and the songs are overblown and melodramatic. Ultimately this was a tiresome listen.
Too extreme on the ears in my opinion, just not really my music taste
Fuck manchester
never really cared for oasis and until today was only familiar with their hits. always thought people tend to overrate them. but, i listened to the full album and gave them a fair chance. now after listening to the album in full, i realize why i never cared for them. the band sounds great, but the vocals… too whiny, too nasally, and gratuitously bri ish. a different singer and i would probably really be into this album, but as is? meh…
5/10 du oasis ben plate
Bleh.
Definitely Not Really
Urgh. Been about 25 years since I last wanted to hear this, I reckon. Stop saying they're like the Beatles. It's only Rain. Oasis pushed it later with Whatever. The rest is Status Quo. And the odd stolen T-Rex riff. Ironically, Cigarettes and Alcohol is probably the most Quo. So I was a fan for these first two albums, went to see them at Maine Road, then got very sick of them very quickly. I caught myself singing along to Live Forever and Rock and roll star so I guess they're still embedded. Shaker Maker is shite. Supersonic is obviously iconic for them. Most of the album tracks are absolute trash. I always did prefer the second album, I wonder if that has aged poorly as well. Oh god, Colombia is so so bad. I never liked this one, Oasis fans saying it's a belter is mystifying. What is that chorus, and then the song finishes but they just carry on for two minutes without doing anything. Slide Away does the same but at least it's a little bit better of a song. It's a high 2 at the absolute tops I reckon.
I know it's Oasis but I've never been a fan of Liams angry attitude to life and singing. I really liked the last track which was alot slower
2.5 maybe
Meh
meh
oasis' definitely maybe, while containing a cute album name, didn't do much for me. liam gallagher, who i am sure is talented, had a droning voice at times, and i checked out. i did try. i did like the lyrics! the other gallagher brother, noel, came to my rescue. all in all, uninteresting--and i guess it was some sort of super influential game changer?
I definitely (maybe) did not like this.
C- Rock ‘n’ Roll Star - 2, I don’t like the Oasis sound. At all. This is the epitome of an Oasis song. Ugh. Shakermaker - 2 Live Forever - 2 Up in the Sky - 2 Columbia - 2 Supersonic - 2 Bring It on Down - 2 Cigarettes and Alcohol - 2 Digsy’s Dinner - 2 Slide Away - 2 Married With Children - 2 This thing was a pure 2. Walking the tightrope with shit on one side and pretty good on the other, this was as mediocre as they come. I think I'm too depressed and angry a person to like Oasis.
Beaucoup de chansons qui ont mal vieilli. Des fillers sans importance. Quelques classiques, mais rien pour se jeter par la fenêtre.
Highlights: "Slide Away" What else comes to mind for the jangly 60s-retro alt rock sound? Cranberries' "Everybody Else"? 1993. REM's "Automatic"? 1992. Gin Blossoms' "New Miserable Experience"? 1992. Live's "Throwing Copper"? April 1994, four months earlier. Jane's Addiction's "Ritual"? 1990. B-52s' "Cosmic Thing"? 1989. It gets hard to tell what Oasis was supposed to have influenced. And then you hear this album, and it's hard to tell if they've *made* anything. Not every band has to invent a sound, but Oasis doesn't epitomize it either, and they don't even contribute something to it. Its virtue is that the performance and production is not bad most of the time. Categorically a two-star album. Do you wish you had totally inane Beatles lyrics and tired Stones chords but without a single memorable hook or an ounce of originality? Join the club, apparently. But if you're making a point of rating pop albums across history and you give this five stars, stop this listening series and leave this website.
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
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
quite samey innit
- meh. Sounds like oasis.
lol :^ )
Aggressively meh
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.”
I do not like this album
Ei vielä valmista tavaraa - hittibiisi puuttuu. Olen silti riittävän kiinnostunut pohtimaan, olisiko joku raita ollut parempi kuin ensivaikutelman perusteella.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Too rowdy for me
Just a drone
Patpat.
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.
I like oasis. Decent album.
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'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.
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.
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".
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!
This album was ok. Most of the songs sound like other bands and there is nothing remarkable about anything.
Doesn’t have wonder wall on it 👎
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.
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.
"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
Its okey 2
Drones a bit
Definitely no LOL
Least insufferable Oasis moment
Boring slog. Feels like it can't decide between pop and punk, so it does neither.
Ogillar sångaren, tråkigt ljud, själva låtarna är inte ens så bra. Det fanns en hit jag såg fram emot men den var medioker också...
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
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.
britpap
Nostalgic not great.
Those guys really stole a lot from better bands.
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
It’s fine.
Why are there more than one Oasis album in this book?! Such an unnecessary entry. Bah.
Meh
Definitivamente britpop não é pra mim.
A bit of a bore. I could enjoy some mustard on the sandwich, but I don't want all mustard.
Ambiance heaven
Not really remarkable, but good in a lot of ways. Love Forever is the obvious standout. I'd give it another shot but it wasn't gripping.
Oasis has a few really great songs, but just like back in the 90s, it takes a lot for me to get past Liam's whiney drawl. And there's still that aftertaste of just constant fighting in the band and the weird, constant bitter anger that seemed to surround them. Or maybe just Liam. I don't know. 'Live Forever' absolutely works. 'Supersonic' works for me. But there's still so much going against this band for me.
I can't help but laugh at how much I hated Oasis back in the mid-90s. I don't really blame myself as much as the Gallaghers and the clear joy they got out of being famous pricks who dominated the news. But at long last I finally caved and gave into the (morning) glory that is the album that came after "Definitely Maybe." And thank God I started with that one, because this album is almost like listening to a different band. The songs simply aren't there and they can't get by on attitude alone. I dig a few of them, but the leap they took between these two albums is pretty incredible. So, TLDR: I don't hate Oasis anymore, but this isn't an album I'll ever love.
Never was a huge fan of Oasis. I guess you had to be there.
Okay
Didn't grab me when it came out and still does nothing for me. Just comes off whiney. Fades into the background and never comes back.
I think it was pretty boring. Some parts sounded good though.
90s me would have been way more into this. It was cool, but I needed to be at a 90s Party with Dawsons Creek or something on in the background to get into this. Didn’t dislike, but I wouldn’t seek it either, especially since these guys are assholes as their baseline.
There is only one good song on Definitely Maybe and that is "Supersonic". Every other track is Oasis music. If you're into that, come join the mid-90s glad wagon. Otherwise, other music is available.
Totaal geen zin in dit gejank.
Definitely meh. Didn’t really like Oasis when this came out. Don’t really like it now.
It’s an alright rock album, decent album overall.
This sounds exactly the same as every other Oasis song I've heard. Like, you could just change the lyrics and the drums and it's the same song. It's like Volbeat from the 1990s. Pass.
Hat nix mit Battle of England zu tun, also dem Bitch Fight Blur vs Oasis, aber letztere fand ich schon damals tumb, Songs zwischen zäh und langweilig („Shakermaker“) und schlagerhaft („Live Forever“). Freunde mich wegen der religiösen Ehrerbietung gegenüber diesen überhypten Mancunian Dipshits auch dieses Mal nicht an. Unterkühlte 1.9
Parts of Shakermaker sound like “I’d like to teach the world to sing” They were parts of the album that sounded like T. Rex, Beatles and even Holly Johnson. Oasis were good at self marketing, being in the press a lot when they were up and coming, always courting controversy. But in reality they were no better than a lot of other mediocre groups of their time. Would I listen to this again? No, this isn’t the first time I’ve listened to it and given the gap in time since I last listened to it I would say that my views haven’t changed and it hasn’t improved with age.
Whiney, all the songs sound the same, redundant
Heard the iconic 'I said maaaybayy' in one of the songs. Kind of boring mustic for me though. Slide away wore on me at the end, it was soooo repetitive
Never really understood the fuss. All sounds so tinny.
Better than the pther one i listened to by them, but still find the sining a bit annoying, plus some of the rhyme schemes are at about the level of a 4year old.
target age but the bug never bit. Although I normally really like the Manchester crowed
DONT like oasis
Definitely Maybe might be the first whole album I've listened to from Oasis. "Live Forever" is the only track from this album that I recognized, and it's okay. There are songs from Oasis that I like, but they are from different albums. None of the tracks from Definitely Maybe appeared to be a potential new favorite. Nearly all of the tracks on this album were backed by a constant, fuzzy, grinding rhythm guitar that wore me out about 2/3 of the way through the album. Individually, the tracks seemed okay, but as a whole the album drops below 3 stars. I was done with the album before I finished listening to the last track.
A ciegas y en definitiva es distinto al otro disco que nos tocó, en el que se sentía una idea de querer hacer una producción muy especial y terminó en pura basura. Si comparo este disco por ejemplo con el disco de los Stone Roses (siguiendolo como una línea evolutiva de este sonido de Manchester que no me termina de cuadrar en lo personal), siento que aquí se siente una idea más formada y definida. En los Stone Roses el sonido quizá se sentía más etereo y con un dejo de verte desde arriba. El sonido en este disco es bastante terrenal, se siente influencia de glam, rock, psicodelia, punk. Toma todas estas influencias y las mezcla... dejemos en que las mezcla. Llega al problema de nuevo en que el resultado musicalmente en esta ocasión si bien es más "escuchable" se siente totalmente derivativo y falto de originalidad, siento que de aquí es claro cuando decíanq ue solo querían copiar a los Beatles, se siente muy obvio la linea de toda la composición como si fuera levantada del libro "fórmulas del rock pop." También siento que tiene partes instrumentales muy largas que solo están ahí para alargar las canciones sin que haya mérito de nada musical por presumir en las mismas (en serio todas las canciones de estos cabrones tenían que ser tan largas??). Las letras... estupidas y exageradas aun si son ligeramente menos engreidas que en el disco posterior. Live Forever me pareció una canción decente. En realidad mucho mejor de lo que esperaba en especial al comparar con el otro disco, pero se me sigue haciendo una banda bastante mediocre en muchos de sus aspectos.
A pesar de que por alguna extraña razón sentí que eran puros guitarrazos sin sentido al principio ya después fue mejorando un poco, me gustó un leve más que el anterior pero siempre he creído 1ue son unos inflados mamaleros sin sentido
This is one of those bands that get real annoying fast. Must be the U2 and Coldplay effect. This album is 3 hrs long, (eye roll) but I could only get thru a few songs before I threw in the towel.
I had to take a break in the middle to listen to Nelly because I was bored
Il mio vero problema con gli Oasis è che non tollero la voce nasale/roca di Liam Gallagher. Nonostante pensi che come gruppo siano musicalmente ok, lui proprio mi irrita. Diversamente, il fratello Noel, ha una voce che apprezzo, infatti canzoni tipo "Don't look back in anger", "The master plan" oppure "The importance of being idle" mi piacciono di più. Siccome in quest'album canta solo Liam (mi pare), il mio giudizio è negativo. Non lo reggo proprio. Voto 2
I want to like this album. There is a real nostalgia factor here for me with Liam Gallagher’s voice and the entire vibe of the music. But this nostalgia is really predicated on the two standout songs from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. Ultimately, without the nostalgia piece I would rate this a 1.5 or 2. Nostalgia brings it to 2.5. The fact is I just find the music boring and struggled to finish the album the first time through. I gave it a second listen and had the same reaction. No songs stand out. This is just my own personal tastes coming through.
Live Forever: Cazzo che brutta! Me sona sbagliato tutto, dalla voce alle chitarre. L'assolo: ma veramente? Ma perchè? "meibeeeee". No dai. Columbia: Almeno un po' orecchiabile però 6 minuti me sembra come minimo eccessivo. Bring It On Down: Dai pure questa simpatica. Però so veramente prolissi per essere un gruppo pop. Ma perché sti assoli da quindicenni in sala prove? In Conclusione: Io c'ho provato seriamente, ma a me sto album, anche con tutte le attenuanti del caso (anni, etc) mi sembra appena sopra al livello di gruppo delle medie. Non riesco davvero a capirne il fascino, cioè a sto punto i Blur erano molto meglio. La voce di Gallagher (Noel? Liam? Non ho capito chi è dei due) nel 70% dei casi mi fa lo stesso effetto di un bambino che frigna perché vuole il gelato.
Questo disco mi ha annoiato. Non mi piace come suona ed a tratti il cantato lo trovo fastidioso. Mi sembra povero di contenuti musicali. Lo stile è conosciuto e mainstream però non mi convince.
0|10 неплохо, рок
Great songs, great tunes. Unfortunately, I cannot stand Liam Gallagher 's voice which ruined every single track for me
Ok for a few songs, but a bit too repetitive as background music
Every. Song. Sounded. Exactly. The. Same. And. It. Was. Boring.
Shit guitar work, laughable drumming, same naff guitar fills on every tesious song, same song structure every time and all fronted by a whiny, borderline retarded wankbag. Hated them then, hate them now.
Is Oasis energetic? Sure. Do they sound good? Yeah, if you're into a wall of overdriven guitars. I like that sort of thing, even if Oasis' sound is rather one-dimensional. But how about the songs? They're pleasant enough, in an off the rack kind of way. And therein lies the main problem with Definitely Maybe: Oasis has taken the rock music of the previous quarter century and put it in a blender. It sounds okay, but there is nothing remotely distinctive about it. The song structures and melodies could have have been bought like so many yards of carpet. I'm not a lyrics guy, but even a cursory listen will reveal that these songs are nothing but a compendium of cliches. So far, this review is making it sound like I hate Oasis, but I really don't. How could I be roused to a strong emotion like hate when the music of Oasis barely exists? If this came on the radio, I wouldn't turn it off because there's nothing offensive about it, but it would cease to exist in my mind the instant the last chords faded. Definitely Maybe is well enough done for what it is--the 90s equivalent of bubblegum music--but it's hard to imagine more instantly disposable industry product.
Pretty disappointing, I expected to enjoy this a lot more. Hard to parse out what's going on in many of these - kinda an endless drone that I couldn't get into even with multiple listens Saved: Supersonic
Saved Prior: Shakermaker Off Rip: Live Forever, Slide Away, Married With Children Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Good lord every song sounded the same, and not in a good way. Constant loud guitars and whichever Gallagher brother sings' accent. Was so close to giving this album a 1, but Slide Away and Married With Children saved it at the 11th hour so it's a 1.5 rounded up to a 2. After one album from each, Blur are blowing Oasis out of the water in the battle of Britpop.
Annoying voices, annoyingly simple rhyming lyrics; sort of Beatles-lite without the witty arrangements/lyrics. Sound is rock-y enough for a 3, but they get a 2 b/c of the whiny/droning singer(s).
There are moments where this album shows promise, some real foot tappers, some good jams, the nice acoustic piece at the end. It’s indicative of what they will do better in their next album. But there was a lot of generically interchangeable songs on this album, Lots of guitar strumming I could tell the difference between and a lot of it sounds dated. To me the sign of a great album transcends the sound of the decade it came from. Not bad. But not great. C so 2.
Not their greatest album; not their worst. You can tell they are working on defining their sound, so some interesting explorations but also some boring detours.
I was fully prepared for 4 stars here, but the Oasis I was familiar with sure mellowed out a lot. I enjoyed a couple tracks, but it was way noisier than I was expecting or liked.
oh god, why
I was never much of an Oasis fan, it just seems like 1-dimensional rock to me, not much feeling, not much variation, sort of boring. I never quite got it I'm afraid
I am so fed up of these children.
Oasis' music being considered good is the biggest example of collective delusion I've ever known. There's nothing here. The only song even remotely worth listening to on this record (Live Forever) repeats the same verse not once, but twice! Three times we have to hear the same inane, meaningless lyrics: 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? Whoa... That's great, pal. Let's make sure it's in there three times, just so the audience can really absorb it.
Whinging Brit Pop, devoid of originality. It’s a wonderwall they made it famous.
I'm surprised how much I hated this. That dude's whiny voice really grated on my last nerve. Never bothered me before on their more famous stuff, but here, yikes.
uuuuhhgg no.
deeply unspecial music that, for some reason i genuinely can't grasp, people celebrate for how unspecial it is, straightforward good old-fashioned rock'n'roll pints down the pub lads lads lads absolute horseshit. regressive, stupid, less than nothing - anyone could make it but it takes a real notable kind of stupidity to think it's worth releasing. imagine being proud of making this?? ugh. highlight is the way the singing Gallagher brother says "sunshine" which is actively vomitous instead of just anglo-fascist and boring
What a fucking mess. I never liked Oasis. I didn’t like their singles. I didn’t like them in interviews. And I was a Blur fan so I didn’t like them because of their beef with that band. Now I see that they are just as pompous and untalented as I always believed them to be. There’s not an original idea on this whole recording. As a matter of fact some songs openly rip off better songs and still fail to produce anything more than dreadful mediocrity. There’s the opening track that overtly steals the melody from “I’d Like To Buy The World A Coke” and a song later on that is the exact riff from “Bang A Gong”. Add to all that Liam’s obnoxious voice, ridiculous diction (he pronounces “shine” shee-ii-eee-ine one too many times for my taste), and nursery rhyme lyrics and you have a perfect storm of bullshit.
Dette. Er. Helt. Jævli. Å. Høre. På.
Tbh haven't finished listening to it but I fear that Oasis is not my cup of tea. Maybe a few songs from other albums but this unfortunately did not hit for me.
From Manchester, and always hated oasis which feels illegal. Just a lack of originality, and Gallaghers whiny boring voice. Didn't enjoy this!
lol nah
stodgy, samey, highly derivative dadrock
At first I thought that my headphones are broken as there was this utter cacophony of sounds coming out, but then I heard some singing as well. Turns out it's just this album. It sounds all out of whack, how do people enjoy this?
Verschrikkelijk
Oh please no. I’ve listened to this album a few times to understand it’s an appeal but I just don’t get it. Those fuzzy grinding guitars are on about half of these 90s alternative albums. I don’t like to rate an album based on the singers voice but his voice is so unappealing, it’s a bit too precious and he ends many of his words with the letter “a” . For example he sings “staya”instead of stay. It almost sounds like pop grunge without any melody.
If you care not for substance or originality but prefer anthemic yet sterile pablum, have I got the band for you!
wouldn't willingly listen to oasis but wasnt awful not my thing really 3/10
My hatred for Oasis centered on the attitude of the Gallagher brothers. It took one listen of Definitely Maybe for me to realize I hate their music too. Phil Spector had his wall of sound; Oasis has a wall of noise punctuated by the brothers’ incessant whine. Any interesting musical moments come courtesy of the Beatles. I always thought the failure of Britpop in the U.S. was due to the “Britishness” of the music and lyrics, but no, it’s just annoying noise.
Snoozefest of beige music that could have been made in the 60s. I'd tap my foot to this while stuck in a waiting room, given I forgot my headphones.
the scourge of mediocre English bands returns! this is a putrid way for humanity to justify deforestation and unprecedented biodiversity loss on this planet its like if the Beatles were bad and not good
Another mediocre and boring album by one of the worst bands in history. It sucks. Definitely, Without maybe.
I’ve seen interviews with one of the Gallagher brothers, I can’t recall which one and I’m not sure that it matters that much, where he seems deeply uncurious and uninterested about music. Listening to this album, that makes sense. There are a lot of watered down Beatles and Rolling Stones influences here all reworked through a contemporary filter, but nothing so much that it adds anything to it. The songs go on twice as long as they need to, and everything sounds samey. Above all else, this is boring. A friend recently made the argument that Oasis is the worst band in the world, and listening to this album (and some of the other inclusions on this list) I don’t agree, but I don’t think it’s a crazy thing to think either.
Boring
I liked maybe the last two songs on this album. All the others just made me mad. They were loud which I didn't like.
Manchester nos dio bandas legendarias y luego nos dio a Oasis para recordarnos que debemos ser agradecidos por los otros grupos.
Not for me, I like other Oasis albums more
definitely not.
I didn't even want to listen to this, but I did. With a little hope. Hope that they wouldn't be the whiny, overplayed, trite, bullshit that I used to think it was. That hope was dashed and I barely made t through without my ears bleeding. No thank you. 0.
I’d really hoped there would be something redeeming here and it would maybe challenge my lifelong hatred for this band, but alas, it was not to be. Unfortunately, I still feel the same - which is that oasis is simply the Beatles, vommed on by the smiths and slowed right down to a painfully repetitive middle of the road ramble through lazy lyricism and the combined frontman charisma of a windswept empty crisp packet. Let’s put it this way; my estranged ex-addict older half-sister’s ex husband is a huge oasis fan with their logo tattooed proudly on his anaemic bicep in keeping with the rest of his tattoos and he exemplifies their average fan to me and after giving them a (truly, honestly!!) good go by listening to the whole album I remain on my high horse with this one. If you enjoy this, unfortunately to me you are an uninteresting idiot.
90s music is overrated. Regurgitated mishmashes of the 60s, 70, and 80s pretending to be nu. Liam Gallagher has a whiney grating voice, too.
I want you to listen to this album again. When listening to it I want you to realize how often he adds in extra letters into the lyrics. Sky becomes SKKKYYYYYYYYYY. Now I want you to realize he does this in EVERY DAMN SONG! It's like he's a little kid whining for a toy the entire album.... Seriously go listen again. Musically it is good they can play well, but holy shit he elongates words like Doctor Cox when he's yelling at JD!
Ooof, not looking forward to this
331/1089 - Everything sounded the same until the last song which sounded different but worse. Annoying voice and the song structures were too repetitive for me.
Did not finish- this album did not hold my interest.
Oasis just sucks there’s no other way to say it. All the songs on this album display no artistic talent, musically or lyrically. Just shite all around as they say.
Definitely not.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................wait a minute, I hate Oasis!
Definitely not.
Somehow, I ended up in possession of this CD back in high school (I know I didn't buy it, myself), and after a single playthrough, I remember thinking it completely sucked and never touched it again. Fastforward to today and... well... it seems that I had quite discerning tastes as a teenager.
Honestly I wanted to like this album, since I like Wonderwall but it just sounded like noise to me. Not my style of music
feels like its one song the whole way through. Bland and boring
Nein, Oasis mochte ich noch nie.
Definitely not.
I just don't like Oasis.
One of my favorite memories is when I went to a concert that was Garbage and Noel Gallagher’s solo project. Metric opened for them. After Garbage played, I turned to my partner and said “I got my money’s worth.” They agreed and we left. It may have been the minority, but there were still a significant number of people returning to their cars that evening before he ever stepped foot on stage.
I have never really listened to Oasis, so I tried to give this a chance. Just in case my preconceived notions weee influenced by the Gallagher brothers’ drama and/or the fact that I can’t think of anyone who actually likes Oasis. However I couldn’t do it, I think I listened to the first 3 songs and skipped through the rest… not my jam.
I detest OASIS, I can't get over them -- and they certainly can't get over themselves. This is going to be a hard listen today.
When I was younger (early 2010s), I had a crush on this girl in my class. I just thought I really wanted to be her friend (seeing as I had no idea what a lesbian was at the time), so I thought I had to like everything that she liked. She mentioned that Oasis was her favourite band, at first I was confused as the only Oasis I knew was the drink you get in the UK, so I lied and said I also loved them. At this time, my information about music from before I was born (2004 if you want to feel old) came directly from what my parents liked. As you can tell, they fucking hate Oasis, and I can now officially say that I agree with them.
For po music like this the songs are interminable. If they were half as long I’d give it a three.
Automatic pass for me. I hated this album when it came out as a teen, and I still despise Oasis to this day. I refuse to waste any of my time on this shit. Just an overhyped Brit Rock band that are at best mediocre, but are such assholes, I give them the lowest rating possible
Most overrated band ever...
no
48/1001. How come this album is on this list? It doesn't have any hits, the playing is lazy and the sound is boring, singers wank out their frustration to life.
Reeks of Gallagher pretense. Hard pass.
Nee.
Misschien dat ik niet in de juiste stemming was om een nieuw album echt op te nemen, maar ik kon niet wachten tot het saaie gezanik klaar was.
Too dialed in to what radio rock in the 90s should sound like to be interesting
I hate this. I hate Brit Pop. Nobody needs to listen to any of it before they die. Did the UK have like a giant identity crisis in the 90s or something?
This highkey SUCKED it was the first album I didnt finish!!
Gave up on this after 4 songs. Bland as saltines
I hated the first song. Should I even keep going? Four songs in. This is music for posh wankers. Brit Coldplay. Background music for Apple product adverts. Less offensive than the Foo Fighters Almost done. This album blows.
Laughable garbage that no one remembers in 2025
I despise this
Did not hold up for me.
I really cannot stand the voice and the lack of originality.
So, which is it?
After listening to the first 3 songs, the general sound of this is offputting to me. I get that at the time this may have sounded more unique, or that regardless of its uniqueness someone else likes this sound. But all I hear is "generic rock sound". The level of distortion and style of the guitars is grating to me and not interesting. Same for the vocal style. Not my cuppa!
No, just no. Why is/was Brit Pop so popular?
Oasis: A Rock and Roll bland. I really dislike Oasis. Absolute arrogance, shitty takes on pretty much all aspects of music, and an endless trail of obnoxious and delusional quotes and petty infighting. Bigger than the Beatles? In what universe? Claiming to be a punk band, and particularly with this album? My god. Separate art from artist? Can't do it. Especially when the offerings are so tepid.
фу
Oasis, Blur and U2 are the most boring and generic bands ever to exist. Thank you.
This says it all: https://youtu.be/UgSdj79-Bvs?si=a3JjZMJX21dOPUH7
Ugh. Why would this be on a list of albums you should hear before you die for any reason other than you might off yourself after listening to it? 1/5
Not a huge fan of this. Could never really put my finger on it but I didn’t love oasis when younger and still don’t. Not much else from me on it.
Hey, it's these guys again! Why do they sound like they are whining about absolutely everything? I get the feeling that if I give them one star again, I will hear from their mom about how I'm bullying them. It's like Dudley Dursley the Band. Oasis makes the Battle of Britpop very easy. Blur all the way.
Overrated, overblown, ego filled shite. It was football terrace chant shite when it came out, it remains shite now. In fact, I’d say it’s now like dogshit that’s been out in the sun for too long and has gone furry - it’s mouldy, pointless Dadrock for idiots who barely scrape two syllable words together. Needs to be consigned to the trash heap along with the idiotic brothers Gallagher.
Definitely not.
Boooring
Yuk
There is no disputing the enormous global success Oasis have and will continue to have. But, in my opinion there were better bands around doing “Britpop” in the 90’s - Blur, Supergrass and The Verve as examples. Some real anthems on this album and no doubt will get further historic success in 2025 for obvious reasons. However I cannot get excited listening to this album.
Another band that I just don't get. Live Forever is palatable, but the remaining songs are a sludge of washed out instrumentals and horrible vocals.
Oasis sucks and I’m starting to realize I really don’t like British pop
Hate these Manc pricks.
Overrated and headache inducing. I guess I value the Gallagher bros more as personas than I do as musicians. So many unbelievable quotes in the press. Loads of great tweets and interview clips. I thought that would translate to an enjoyable 90s rock album. Nope. Hopefully Maybe it gets better after this, but this one was packed with too many boring retreads of great British musical movements that came before, be it the Manchester sound, glam rock or the Beatles. Definitely Maybe some groups are better at being rock stars than they are at being bands.
Meh. 😒
Rubbish
Oasis is definitely not the desperate refresher implied by the band name. No no, this album is just a dusty, interminable journey through an every-direction-the-same desert.
Fucking terrible.
Ugh. A record that everyone I know loves and yet I find tedious and insipid. Does this mean I hate all my friends?
Another grunge rock bank from the 2000’s. Music ok.
1. ztar - 1 2. zhaker - 0 3. forever - 1 4. zky - 0 5. columbia - 1 6. zonic - 0 7. douun - 0 8. alcohol - 1 9. dinner - 0 10. zlide - 1.5 11. children - 1.5
I definitely maybe don't get Oasis. Never did. Not sure if I ever will. It still sounds just as generic as it did in 1994.
Didn't like this album when it came out in the '90s, and I really tried to give it a chance this time around, but unfortunately I still don't. I agree with others. A muddy mix. A poor pastiche of far better artists ideas, from David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, T. rex and The Beatles. The hooks aren't particularly fetching. One of the most overrated albums I have ever heard, from one of the most overrated bands I've ever heard.
I can't listen to Oasis. 1/5
First five songs sound exactly the same (and bad), so I didn't bother listening to the rest.
5 songs in and I don't need more. Milquetoast AF
Did I really have to this?
I’d rather listen to Bieber. I loath these wankers.
Definitely maybe? Definitely not! Leave this crap for the sheep.
Wow the end of Rock n Roll star is so annoying. First two tracks are not grabbing me. I’m finding the vocals grating. Fuck that was boring.
Apallingly boring. Cannot believe this was what people liked to listen to. No wonder Bill Clinton was president
Not my taste at all. The last song was the best because it featured more vocal than instrumental.
Very boring, by the numbers, rock record. I found the lead guitar extremely annoying. The only good thing to stand out was the hint of nostalgia it gave me for the 90s.
wouldve liked it more as a kid. honestly didnt enjoy anything past the first diddy.
I find Oasis really boring. I don’t particularly enjoy any of these songs or find them catchy. They aren’t upsetting or bad per se, just unintelligibly samey and dull.
I can't describe the hatred I feel for this basic drivel
Nicht mein Stil.... zu einfach
Definitely not. Derivative. Lumpen. Po-faced. A lot of what was wrong with music in the 1990s.
You aren’t the Beatles.
Oasis - Definitely Maybe 1. We are rocking out in the 90s for sure. This is fine. The ending is great, but the verses and chorus were quite mid imo. Saved by the last min but overall mid 3. Why does this remind me of that Coke song in the first verse? Anyway great guitar tone and the riff is nice. I’ve never cared for the vocals in Oasis. I find them too nasally and kinda annoying. But the music here is fine. 4. Baahhhhhhh the vocals are just not it. Again the music is fine. But I’m waiting for this to be over which is never a good sign. (From here on out if a song ain’t hitting by two min in I’m skipping to the next track. 5. This track has some teeth. First one I’d say I actually like. 6. Another good start here. Honestly I’d rather listen to Brian Jonestown Massacre, black angels, etc. This is a good track tho. Good harmony and the riff rides. 7. Yawn 8. Drums are at least banging but other wise skippable 9. I’m not finishing this shit. First DNF!
Please no more britpop, I can only take so much. Morning Glory is really all I need as far as Oasis goes, and even that I could take or leave.
Nah
Boring
Blumig-dröger Rock
Album #: 242 first impressions: were oasis pioneers of cursive singing? ("sun-she-ine," etc.) after listening through: I was folding laundry while listening to this and covered my speaker w/ a towel for a moment -- it was much easier to listen to and almost enjoyable like this. post-reading reviews/wiki: i guess everyone recognizes this is mid in at least one way but i'm not sure why that translates into them loving it? i guess you had to be there. recommended for: someone looking for the british answer to US grunge pop of the 90s? lovers of distortion and affected vocal stylings.
Definitely gar nicht.
I tried to listen to this with an open mind, as I’ve been a long time detractor of those cheeky manc chaps, however I hate this and everything Oasis have touched. I’m either not as open minded as I’d like to think, or I was right all along. The latter, I hope. The only positive things I can say about them is that they undeniably captured the spirit of a nation - fueled by that rarest of British feelings ‘hope’ and New Labour. They were also a bit better than the other pop bands of the time, that time being when the charts were filled with Spice Girls, Westlife, Boyzone etc. However this reminds me of the last mouthful of dregs in a warm pint of shite lager. I can only think of shite lager, football, and lads lads lads when hearing Oasis. I hate their legacy. I fucking hate Oasis. It baffles me that people think theres an argument comparing Oasis to Blur. Blur / Albarn projects are so far ahead of anything Oasis have done that its not a competiton. It’s Man City vs The Dog and Parrot. Fuck off.
What a "nothing" album. I think this album pissed me off at first, but then it just kept going and started not caring more than anything. The singer's voice is obnoxious, but it's often so drowned out in the mix that it's hard to, once again, care. Why is this album so long? Why is this artist so popular? Why do people think this and the Beatles are nearly equals?! Jesus, what a mess. At least it didn't have Wonderwall.
