Muy bueno. 🫶
Definitely maybe not a record I needed to listen to before I die.
Definitely a very listenable album. But everything managed to sound like a variation on Wonderwall: one of the most overrated songs ever released. I don't get the hype on these guys, but the album didn't suck.
Solid pop album. Probably won’t ever intentionally listen to them again, but I was surprised at how good it was.
Favorite Track: Live Forever
definitely maybe? more like definitely mid. don’t really understand all the hype, it’s not a bad album it’s just not good either. there’s a few good songs (live forever, married with children) i don’t know, maybe just not my thing. i prefer blur
Solid British rock. I actually really like oasis of that group of British annoying boy bands. This is kinda annoying actually I liked their other album better. Good music. Classic. Enjoyable. Easy listening. Good debut. Prolly not what I needa listen to now but it's chill. Favourite: Shakemaker Least favourite: Cigarettes & Alcohol
In my humble opinion the greatest 1st album by any band, amazing lyrics, vocal, and a tight band, Liams voice at its most powerful, I saw these live in 94 and 95, Brit pop - Wow. I’m feeling supersonic, give me me gin and tonic
not my vibe
I do like 90's music and I feel like a really cool kid listening to it, but I can't say I find this a masterpiece. I like Oasis and I really like this nasal voice of the vocalist. The lyrics in this doesn't make any sense, but the guitar and the beat is so good. I enjoyed listening to this while playing Stardew Valley as well. Not their best, but enjoyable. I really like 'Up in the Sky'.
It was so 90's whiny dad rock, and I honestly really enjoyed it. Could not believe this was a freaking DEBUT, good for them.
I've never really gotten into Oasis despite being the right age to get into them. 1994 I was 14, my first year of highschool. Such an incredible year musically; Superunknown, The Downward Spiral, Vitalogy, Weezer, Dookie, Smash, Illmatic...the list goes on. I never gave Oasis a chance. I've heard the singles of course. This was better than I expected it to be but still derivative in places. I listen in one earbud while getting ready for work in the morning. At times I went through two or three songs and didn't even notice the song changed. It's fine for what it is. I would go like 3.5 if I could. I think I'll round up and do the 4 stars here, parts of it did really make me pause and listen more closely.
192. ok
This is perfectly pleasant pop rock through a radio friendly filter. The edgiest thing about the entire thing is that full wine glass on the floor in the album art. This is also about as exciting as a McDonald's vanilla shake. You know exactly what you're going to get with each track, and the most dangerous thing about it is maybe a sugar rush and a brain freeze. Oasis is not the new Stones, and they're not the new Beatles. Get off it. My Rating: 2/5
Well, I like a few of the melodies and structures. Shakermaker was alright. The rest of the album though, well, I think of it this way. Y'know when you hit the grocery store and they have the speakers up so you can hear the radio? And every now and then, they've got a random banger playing? Like, oh shit, Shoppers Food Warehouse is hip with Parliament, that's cool. Hey, Giant is playing some cut from Things Fall Apart, neat. That's a nice little addition to your grocery run. But most of the time over the speakers, there's just sort of airy, guitar-y music playing. Like, a band that could be one of a million other bands, kinda samey and safe and all. This album is kinda what I'd expect to hear in that situation. I know a lot of people like Oasis for the escape from grunge attitude and that's cool, lighter more optimistic music is cool. But I dunno if it has to be boring, and this kind of is to me.
Reasonable debut from the Burnage guys
i really couldn't tell if the song was over and the next song was playing or not. The riffs are pretty repetitive but this applies to oasis' entire discography. frankly, i listen to oasis when i need an energetic background music. i find it hard to stay focused throughout an entire song let alone an album. but they're an iconic example of brit pop-rock i guess.
Люблю первые 2 альбома оазис
A phenomenal debut. The songs are urgent, tight, and catchy. Not a bad track from a great band.
Whinging Brit Pop, devoid of originality. It’s a wonderwall they made it famous.
Listened
solid 4.5. Não é tão consistente quanto o Morning Glory, mas as melhores músicas do Oasis estão aqui. Favs: Live Forever, Columbia, Slide Away.
I have never been a real fan of Britpop, and this falls into the same category for me. I like the first song, then I drift into "what have you done for me lately?" land. Flashes of excellence competing with the mundane.
Well, on the bright side, I didn't actively hate this out of the gate, so that's something. It is amazing that when the third tune started, my anus puckered (or was is it my anal sphincter?), the general physical response I have to this band. Interesting that it is, by far, the most-spun song on the album (working off Spotify numbers). So, whatever it is that propels this band into the stratosphere for so many has the opposite effect on me. I don't much like the melodic choices vocally (as a rule). I do appreciate the musical muscle, though even that wears after a few tunes. I'm gravitating to the less-listened-to tracks. Mostly I'm just annoyed that I had to listen to this at all. I wavered... 3? or 2? It tried to get there, but no, I don't enjoy the band. It got ever more tedious as the record played.
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.
Whine.
Blah blah blah Oasis blah blah
I like oasis but this is garbage
To była pierwsza świadoma styczność z zespołem Oasis. Zespół podobno był popularny aczkolwiek jakoś ominął mnie. Nawet było o nim głośno chyba rok temu czyli w 2025 roku. Album mnie nie porwał, jest przyjemny, lekki, słucha się go dobrze, muzycznie jak najbardziej poprawny, jednak nie porwał mnie niczym konretnym. Najlepszy utwór to Live Forever, ale to chyba dlatego, że kojarze go w coverze z odcinka Ricka i Mortiego o spaghetti z ludzi, zdrowo pojebany odcinek. Podsumowując taki popowy brytyjski rok nie jest moim ulubionym gatunkiem.
Bland and largely derivative. While it's occasionally fun in the same dumb way hair metal is, its hard to take it all that seriously.
I definitely don't love Oasis as much as I did in high school, but I will never get tired of this album in particular. Oasis, for me, is summed up with Columbia. It's a very simple song in every imaginable way and the duration of the outro is hilariously unnecessary. Somehow, it all works. I could genuinely listen to that outro for hours on repeat and I wouldn't get bored. Noel is a very smart songwriter and knows exactly how to write a bunch of nonsense and make it seem like a creative masterclass, both lyrically and melodically. Well, at least he did until Be Here Now, in that instance he flew a bit too close to the sun. Liam's charismatic presence is there to boost that effect and it does so perfectly. I'll take this opportunity to recommend Noel's solo albums, they're surprisingly fantastic considering the quality of later Oasis albums. Favourite track: Bring It on Down
I really don’t get the comparisons between oasis and the Beatles. Especially when the stone roses are right there. It’s not bad. It’s just really generic. And i can help get wound up by the swagger you can hear through the songs, which i’m sure some people find endearing.
My wife is from Manchester so of course I am forced to listen to this regularly against my will. After the best part of 2 decades I have developed Stockholm syndrome. I now find myself enjoying it and singing along in a faux Manc accent. Mayyyybehhh Am a rock n roll staaaaah. Or mayybehh someone could call the police and free me from the basement I’m tied up in and being subject to Oasis every day. How I long to see the Sunsheeyyyyyyne
Not my cup of tea, but ok.
Pure nostalgia scoring
Solid. A couple of really great tracks, but ultimately just nowhere near as good as What’s the Story (Morning Glory)?
liked this more than i thought i would. solid album
Felt like nothing special. not crazy abt the lyrics, not crazy abt the sound. my favorite is probably slide away or live forever from the album. mediocre to me overall.
Very generic, not really my music. The only one I liked and the one I already knew was Live forever
Well, I’m not going to belabor this with an extensive review because it would shock me if there is a single person participating in this endeavor who is not familiar with this record, the hits from it, and the Gallagher brothers/Kinks like sideshow. It is a good record, but certainly not perfect. Some of it does not even try to hide their influences - The Beatles and T.Rex. And there are a couple of tracks that are frankly just cornball crap. Anyway, it’s good enough to be on this list and yet only 4/5
Glorious.
Luego de escuchar el disco uno siente paz y tranquilidad, ya que la acústica y armonía de las canciones es muy relajante. Es una muy buena obra de un grupo que se ha sabido posicionar dentro de un género coml el Chill Rock o el Rock Alternativo. Sus letras, como la mayoría de Oasis, son una daga al corazón que interpelan a quien las escuche. Pero una canción que es difícil de olvidar y que es un gran cierre del disco es "Married with Children".
Enormes
Britpop unfortunately extremely catchy.
I love Oasisssss Playlist add: "Slide Away"
I still say this is as good as it got for Oasis. So much potential. I saw them at a small club in Texas on this tour. Amazing. All attitude and hooks. Then the audience got bigger and so did the egos. Which is fine. You have to believe to succeed, but to me they lost that real swagger and replaced with a more performative version. They had some great songs after this, but it was a decline in quality and effort. Solid 4
Definitive brit pop which defined the genre and a generation. I'd been a fan since the demo version of Cigarettes and Alcohol featured on a NME freebie cassette earlier in '94.
TRES HORAS?
Not wall to wall hits like Morning Glory, but I'll never be mad about listening to this. Everything sounds like it was engineered to play as loud as possible.
Did not listen
Signature rock and vocals.
Definitely maybe one of my least favourite bands from this era. A couple of ok songs but really not my thing at all.
DAY 1. 3.5 had heard some of the songs on this album a few years ago. I already loved supersonic and live forever. i should give it a few more listens but on the first time listening, i liked "married with children". overall a good listen. still prefer blur tho :)))
Me gusta
é um album bom, nada mais a dizer
prefiro blur 😋
Заебись
The start of something special
yeah, sure thing man. help yourself to the fridge, i'm gonna go paint some grass and watch it dry, and you let me know if you find anything interesting, alright?
First time listening to this in over 20 years and I can’t help but feel that (despite the recent reunion hype and hysteria resurfacing) that time hasn’t really been all that kind to this record. A couple of bangers aside, this was a particularly knackering listen. Plus it provided the template and precedent for every shite band with a mild attitude for the next 20 years to bleed the industry dry. We’re having lasagneeerrrr
I'm so used to hearing Oasis as soundtrack in 00's romcoms that I find it strange listening to them normally.
Expected more from this. Was a good album, and a hell of a debut, but nowhere near as good as What's the story. Lots more filler on this to be honest.
Ich meine es gab viele Alt und Indie Bands in den 90ern aber ich finde dieses Album macht es irgendwie richtig. Zum einen haben die einen eigenen Sound, während viele genau zu dieser Zeit dem Nirvana Grunge sound hinterhergelaufen sind ist dieses Album irgendwie weniger Raw aber nicht im schlechten Sinn. Die Songs sind Catchy aber auch tough. Liams Stimme passt auch einfach perfekt und das songwriting ist einfach gut. Es tut das was es will sehr gut, auch wenn es nicht allzu besonders ist.
Ready Player One referencia???
Genuinely just one of the most amazing albums ever, and married with children is a generational song, I love ts
An Indie band from the UK in the 1990s - what could possibly go wrong? I was expecting complete crap and got something that was pleasant and charming, easy on the ears. How refreshing.
damn oasis kinda fucks…
Meh, it was ok I guess.
Ok, I can kinda see why people like Oasis
It was alright. I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of his voice.
was expecting more judging from the reviews, nothing overly offensive but i got bored once i realised every song sounded the same. wouldn't put myself through listening to the whole thing again
No notes
Less punk …trail of dead. Who knew?? I’m coming around to oasis after years of avoiding. Marking 3 for now to temper my expectations on the rest of the journey.
I definitely maybe sorta like this more than I used to
The riffs kick so much ass. Sometimes Liam’s voice in its insistent Britishness takes me out of it, but the songwriting still comes out on top. UPDATE: On second listen, I don't really mind his voice after all. This album rocks.
'Definitely Maybe' is more of maybe for me. Oasis fills me with nostalgia and a longing for gritty, emo bad boy brothers...but this album doesn't feel as fresh, in your face, and as canonical as (What's The Story) Morning Glory?.
so many bangers. this album just keeps getting better and better. I could nitpick Oasis all day long but goddamn this shit puts a smile on my face.
Damn what an album. They aren't the best for nothing
uuuuhhgg no.
Never liked Oasis, tried my best to give it a proper go in good faith. True to form, it opens with two of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. After listening to them both, I felt like there was just a little less colour in the world. I’ll concede, songs 5-7 have their moments and so does Slide Away, but I always feel like I’m trying my best to ignore the vocals so I can enjoy the rest which at times is pretty cool. They’ve never been for me, not the worst album I’ve ever heard but also didn’t change my mind.
Definitely Maybe Probably Very Good
good
landmakr og vibe
It's perfect.
Okay…a little bland. Shakermaker and Live Forever are bangers though.
It’s not horrible. Not something I’d play a lot of.
It’s ok. Last song is the best.
Seemed average
cok da wooooowluk parça bulamadım ikinci albumum cok karsılastırma yapamıcam
I am slightly familiar with Oasis but haven't dug into all of their stuff. I have 9 songs liked by them so far - but all are on the albums What's the Story Morning Glory? and Dig Out Your Soul. I don't think I've ever listened to this album before. Curious if I will recognize anything. Thoughts while listening 3 times ... 1st time through: - wow - this is really annoying - The vocals / singing style are very grating - the unrelenting wall of sound arrangement with all instruments turned up to 11 all of the time is also very irritating - I did sort of recognize "Live Forever", must have heard that before - Best song so far is the last song (Married with Children) because they ditched all of the annoying production 2nd time through - the first song "Rock and Roll Star" seems like the most generic rock song ever - "Up in the Sky" and "Columbia" are decent 3rd time through - - I was curious what else came out around this time. Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream, Cracker Kerosene Hat, Pearl Jam Vs all came out the year before (1993). These were released in the same year (1994) - Pearl Jam Vitalogy, Portishead Dummy, These were released the following year (1995) - Radiohead The Bends, Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust, Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. ALL of these are so much better than this. - I ended up liking "Live Forever", "Up in the Sky", "Columbia" and "Married with Children" Liked songs on Spotify: 4/11 Rating: 2/5
Married With Children
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.
Definitely Not.
Early Oasis is the best Oasis. Guitar forward British pop-rock under the influence of early psychedelic rock. I was never a big fan previously, but apparently, I was biased by only hearing their hits. This album was more interesting and experimental than I was expecting. The songs on the album re consistently good to great. A pleasant surprise.
asfzeghdrftrthf
its all abt dat lasaaaaaaaaaaaaagnaaaa baby
Wasn’t too bad bit too loud and obnoxious for my liking
I am conflicted on this record. Maybe it's listening to way too much Wonderwall for my entire life. Listening to a couple songs is great. An entire Oasis record and his voice sounds like it pining and whining at me for an hour.
First time i have heard this album all the way through. It is really much better than I expected, especially with the shitshow it appeared to be putting it together. I gotta wonder why they had two great albums amd the apparently couldn't keep it together? Egos maybe?
4.5/5
I like oasis but wouldn't rate this that high but a solid 5.7/10 album
I’ve listened to what feels like 30 different Britpop albums for this list and I finally get my first Oasis album. It was better than most of the others, but I know they’ve got better albums to come.
not really feeling it.. just not really a sound that i care about at all. everything about it is so grating and annoying fav tracks: columbia, married with children
Dette. Er. Helt. Jævli. Å. Høre. På.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures, but I'm not exactly proud of how much I love Oasis, particularly this and Morning Glory. The hits are overplayed for a reason, they hit consistently. The production is flawless, the swagger incandescent. I have thought about "Supersonic" at least three times a week since this album came out.
Oasis know their way around a killer hook and melody; I’ll give them that. And “Supersonic” is a banger. But I am put off by Liam Gallagher’s gratingly nasal vocal delivery, as exemplified by the dreadful “Shakermaker” or “Slide Away,” and by his exaggerated annunciation on a song like “Cigarettes & Alcohol.” And the last song is awful. Back in the day, I tried to ignore Oasis based on the songs that got inescapable airplay (“Champagne Supernova” is truly ridiculous) and the absurd hype comparing them to the next Beatles. This is better than I anticipated, but it still hits like a giant dose of cockiness.
Polished but to what end?
I hate that I like this so much given that these guys are such wankers.
After listening to lots of middling brit-rock - at last, something good.
Feel like I could just repeat my review for What's the Story. Still not a fan of Liam's delivery. Probably fewer great tracks on here than the other.
Meh.
Not even close to as good as What’s the Story… granted, that’s a high bar. But I just find this Oasis record mediocre. There are absolutely some bangers and the guitarwork is excellent and fun. But this album just doesn’t do it for me. But it’s also not bad. Squarely a 3 for me.
This one has a rougher sound to it that sets it apart from most of the britpop stuff, it's not like - even Nirvana - but it shreds a little bit more and the vocals are stabbing at a Sex Pistols thing. This gets smoothed out later on but this is the best Oasis album for my money.
My take is every other song on this album is good (read: legendary, iconic), and the rest are duds. Come at me.
I remember listening to this album at the time. It was ok, but not great by any means, and a fraction of the album that What’s the Story Morning Glory is. Not great.
I hate Oasis but I had this memory of the first album being good. On listening again, it's OK. Starting your first LP with Rock n Roll Star is fun but it's all downhill from there. I do like the chorus of Colombia and the weird way some of the words are stretched out on Cigarettes and Alcohol though.
I've always thought I'd missed out on Oasis but honestly I just don't really like it. I can't help think that they sound like someone doing an impression of earlier bands but in a fake Manchester accent.
Ough. the rock is a little butt
Love Married with children, everything is mid
Massively overrated
Eh, never clicked with me. Seems average, never totally clear why they were such a sensation. Lots of British things I don't grok. What is a pudding, for instance? Madness, I tell you. Flats, lifts, tubes, &tc.
I know that people give these guys stick for borrowing too much from the Beatles. While that is true (I particularly get more Lennon from them), the music was still very catchy.
Definitely a maybe for me lol Married with children is so fun
nudne
Middle of the road album for me.
If I ever find myself in a pub I am putting on cigarettes & alcohol and burning it down like a bad ass in a cool jacket and boots… album bangs. 4.4
This is the second Oasis album this site has served me. I had never heard any of their music as far as I know. And I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve heard! Maybe it feels a touch generic, but I found it quite enjoyable. 8/10 Most Excellent
meh not oasis’s biggest fan but the album wasn’t bad
Really good
Decent britpop. That is, upbeat, danceable shimmery confident indie rock with British vocal delivery. More middle-of-the road than Blur but more listenable for it. On Columbia you can hear the Happy Mondays influence. Reverby wall of sound guitar chords over a dance-style drumbeat. Best track - Live Forever, Columbia, Supersonic 3 or 4 stars. 3.5, rounded down to 3 It is what it is, but it is done very well.
10/10 absolute rock masterpiece.
Way worse than I remember. Genuinely boring record.
I really just do not see the appeal of this band. Some serviceable if down-the-middle rock songs, but I really don't hear anything groundbreaking here. Also Liam Gallagher has a whiny voice. 2/5
5 sterne sorry not sorry liebe oasis😢😢
Jeg begynner å skjønne at Oasis er litt merkelig. De prøver å være så jævlig kule, men egentlig ønsker de bare å skrive pop-låter. Og der har de teft! De åpenbare sporene -- Live Forever, Supersonic, og Slide Away -- er all time great pop bangers. (En form de perfeksjonerte med Champagne Supernova på oppfølgeren.) Så det de egentlig har gjort, er å snike undergrunnen inn i mainstreamen. Ja, egentlig akkurat som Nirvana gjorde på andre siden av dammen. Bare at det faktisk er motsatt! Nirvana ville lage noise rock med endte opp med å lage pop; Oasis ville lage pop men klarte ikke å la være å tilføye litt noise & edge. Musikalsk er de egentlig mer vellykkede for det. Har jeg blitt Oasis-pilled? Kanskje.
Definitivt dritbra. "Live Forever", "Supersonic" og "Slide Away" er så høyt der oppe, og en shoutout til "Shakermaker" og resten av gjengen.
Моются два грузина в бане, играют песни группы Oasis. Один другого просит ему спину потереть. Тот соглашается, смотрит ему на спину, опускает взгляд чуть ниже, а у того ну ни одного волоска на жопе! Спрашивает: - Гоги, ты что, гэй? - Нэт, брат, я просто люблю брит поп...
Some good stuff on here but it's mostly a "whatever" album. It's nice to listen to, and then you'll never think about it again when you're done. Someone in the reviews said this was on par with debut albums like the Velvet Underground, Black Sabbath, and Elvis- what are you smoking? Hate the album art.
Great album
Excellent album and my first full listen through
What's the Story Morning Glory is definitely the better album.
Nostalgic, Authentic, lyrics fucking relatable Like me when maybe i don't wanna die, the guitar on shakemaker does something to me
Pretty cool rock
I’m not a huge fan, but this blew the cobwebs off with its homage to earlier classic songs. Done with exhuberance, vigour and sheer loud rock n roll.
Holy shit
321/1089 Oasis 'Definitely Maybe' 1994 It's very fashionable to knock Oasis, and rightly so, when it comes to the arrogance, greed and general nobendery displayed by the Gallaghers. However, I cannot give this less than 4★ because it remains so important and defining of the era, especially so if you're GenX. The album is full of bangers, if now overplayed, but on the big hi-fi, on vinyl, it still kicks arse. It's been a long while since I played this in full. It's on the shelves.

I like Oasis. Decent album
I didn't like Oasis for the longest time.. I really rejected it when this record came out. However, I can safely say that over time, it "clicked" for me and now I love it. Supersonic is a swagger that frankly I kinda kick myself for not understanding when I was young. Oh well, at least I have the rest of my life.
So many of these songs are engraved in my DNA it's tough to be objective but this is still an incredibly solid debut
Good
Will have to listen again
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.
Definitely yes. (Although I prefer What‘s the Story Morning Glory.)
Perhaps I have a bit of ennui, but whilst I enjoyed this, I didn't think it was 'great'
A solid album with quite a few big hits in here. Not as complete as What's the Story Morning Glory and therefore a 4.
Close but no cigar(ettes & alcohol)
I’m just not that into Oasis. It’s fine.
It's good, but I wouldn't say it's great. Oasis have always come off as overrated in my opinion, and finally sitting down to listen to a whole album only confirms that to me. There's a few tracks that had me engaged, and then the rest just blended into one another. Wish I could have loved this a little more, but I'm afraid I'm just not an Oasis guy. Favourite track: Live Forever Least favourite track: Digby's Dinner
Basically every Britpop group sounds like they’re ripping off The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but these guys aren’t even trying to pretend like they’re doing something new. Add on top of that the very annoying vocals and corny 90s pop-timism lyrics and it’s easy to say I didn’t like this one. If you want to listen to Oasis, I’d say just listen to the hits, cause there is nothing remarkable here.
I've always liked Oasis but never thought they were god tier. But I gotta admit, after listening today I think I might have been wrong. This is feeling like potentially one of the best rock n roll albums of the past 50 years. I need to revisit this.
più di 3 ma non so se le la sento di dare 4, chiaramente gli oasis hanno un romanticismo di base (anche solo nei modi, non per forza nei temi) che non mi prende particolarmente però comunque sono forti quindi
Allora, non è perfetto ma è molto molto bello, oltre alle influenze degli stone roses ci ho ritrovato anche quelle dei mu bloody valentine e dei ride. Ci sono una serie di pezzi iconici
mi rollo
OK
It's a decent album, but very overrated. A couple of standout songs. The production value is absolutely trash though. Not sure I agree with that correction
Loved it, I see why people are so into Oasis
Still the best Beatle knock-off band out there.
Me aburri mal. Esta ok
A classic. Nothing really to add. A fantastic debut for a fantastic band
Full of nostalgic anthems
I'm leaving this with two stars, though it's more of a 1.5 stars for me. Derivative and deadly dull. The best track is Live Forever. I'll never forgive Oasis for the way they bought lads, lagers, and louts into British indie rock. Legit ruined the whole scene and for what?
Genre defining innit
not quite the Beatles but then again, what is? "Live Forever" one of the best tracks of its decade and otherwise not much filler to be found here. a standout debut near worthy of its admittedly outsized hype. 4.5/5
there were some songs i liked but honestly almost all Oasis songs just sound like the same chords played over and over again aggressively and a teenage boy yelling as much as he can because he thinks it makes him a better singer
Would be a 7/10 if I could rate it that way. As much as I adore some of the songs on this album, it can get a bit samey at times, and there’s two songs on here that I just don’t really like.
a los gritos con cada una de estas canciones. todavia me duele haberme perdido los rivers el año pasado.
Legit one of the most essential albums ever and it has a lot of songs worth replaying along with their other album What’s The Story (Morning Glory) 7/10
Hey let's just try a bunch of different stuff and we'll eventually put it in our 1 popular song everyone clowns on. Okay maybe a bit harsh this is more raw but fuck I'm bored
The back half of the album is surprisingly a lot better than the front which is so rare?
Bueno, dos de mis favs fueron rock n roll star y cigarettes & alcohol. Considero que tienen mejores, pero para ser el primero de su discografía, fue un muy buen inicio. Es bueno, no insuperable. pero bueno
It's oasis' best album and the only one I would say is a must listen. Every song is great, they really perfected their formula on the first go.
FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
LAAARRRVV THIS (best oasis album)
Rating:★★★ Surprised me. Not bad at all. Most songs to me were nice to listen to and catchy. Nothing too crazy though.
eh
This was alright
Blir mange 3ere her nå, men dette er jo ikke så dårlig, bare ikke helt for meg.
Oasis again!!! I'm so happy!!1!!
Terrible start - and doesn’t really improve much. Is the whole thing just noise? Why was this so big? I don’t get it. Sounds like shit - Who mixed it? 🤷♂️
I’ve never really gotten the Oasis hype. But they might be growing on me. This is decent.
great stuff, very cozy, didnt think i was gonna enjoy it as much as i have.
I'm not a big fan of rock but I gotta admit this album was nice
Know it already
it aight
fuck city
really nice
Never been much of a fan.
What a great debut - it's got so much swagger that Rock 'n' Roll Star became a self-fulfilling prophecy and Britain overlooked the fact that they never topped this.
Pretty good! Loved the bright guitars throughout, though the production feels muted and compressed in some songs. It also kind of dragged in the middle and the nasally drawn out vocal delivery isn't my cup of tea. Not gonna be a fave, but I enjoyed myself and can see why others love this band so much.
An album that i loved on release but i very quickly jumped from the Oasis wagon and i likely haven’t listened to this since the mid to late 90s. That was largely due to a dislike for the Gallagher’s which has only grown since then. But I thought it’d be interesting to give it another listen so many years later. Of course I’ve heard most of these songs in the intervening years, they’re impossible to avoid but what struck me is just how basic they are lyrically, almost laughably simple, like nursery rhymes for pissheads. Musically I have to admit that they’re hooky but there’s nothing here that’s challenging and most of these songs have been so overplayed it’s like a cloth wrought dry. The two songs that stood out in that respect were _Columbia_ and _Slide Away_ which weren’t singles and so I’ve avoided for a couple of decades.
Great album
Loved it when it came out and still love it now. Brilliant.
Actually really like Oasis. 5 from me.
Good album with some real bangers. Felt like a 4.25. Everything felt a little too nostalgic.
good but was not mindblown, but maybe my app couldnt play to all the songs since i dont have spotify premium
I had too much fun listening to this one
Add in elements of the Beatles, Stones, Slade and Sex Pistols. Mix together with loads of attitude and posture and this is what you get. Yes the lyrics are basic as is the playing but in the end all tat matters is the end result. Classic
Rock crudo, sincero, con muchas guitarras y mucha distorsión (a veces agota, otras veces la levanta). Sin dudas, un disco que marcó parte de mi preadolescencia
I'm not a massive oasis fan. I've tried hard to get the thing that everyone else sees, but it just sounds super generic pop music with a manchester accent
Oh this is fine. 4
Love it, oozing so much British-ness
3.5
I'm not a huge Oasis fan. It's certainly a classic but doesn't really hit for me.
it got old really fast
Trash LMAOOOOO
🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 (an uneven distribution of 1-4 star songs skewed by skeevy thievery) This score comes down to the context. I come from a Blur family, but I'm not so Jingoistic than I can't enter this with an open mind, and for the first five or so songs, I was having a good time—I'm not sure what's so special about Oasis, since I heard nothing other bands around this time weren't really doing, but they do that thing well and I was enjoying it. Once I got to Super Sonic, the Weezer-y, nineties, whiny guy schtick got to be a little bit insufferable, and I could tell even beneath the rock I live under that MTV rode some of these into the sunset. Even that, though, felt dubiously smarmy when certain harmonies hit, and I'll admit it—I sorta got it in glimmering moments of "Slide Away" and "Live Forever" (or was it "Up in the Sky"?). To me, in isolation, this is Oasis: cloying pop at worst, fiery rock at best. But here's the hitch: Oasis cannot exist in isolation. Ambushed by the opening riff of "Bang a Gong" retitled mega-hit "Cigarettes and Alcohol," I already felt territorial (and don't tell me it's because there's a limited amount of chords in rock and everyone's ripping everyone else off—there's coincidence, there's influence, and there's this, which anyone who's not a bad actor can plainly see), but this was before I read the lawsuit that ensued from "Shakermaker's" plagiarism, which made me feel like a chump for enjoying that song. I can—and not even that begrudgingly—forgive "Shakermaker" because it's clearly tongue-in-cheek parody, but knowing in retrospect that Noel and Liam Gallagher both thought they were the next John Lennon really limits my capacity for grace. Regardless of how hard they rock, or even how competently they can create a decent rock hook, knowing that these pompous blowhards got away with not only their plagiarism but their delusion of grandeur (still lauded by knowing music critics today) stacks me against this album. Two stars because of some fun performances and occasional bursts of talent, no more stars because they didn't create more originality with said talent. 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing
I was partially inclined to give this a 4 because it's definitely not as consistent as Morning Glory. Also, after getting used to some of the live versions of these songs, the studio versions seem kind of slow and dull. But, upon reflection, I decided the best songs here are GREAT songs, and for that, it deserves a 5. A low 5.
I remember these guys being pretty big back in the 1990s, but I never really got into them. They've got a couple of hits that I know, and I heard at least a couple on here. The rest was . . . fine. Better than a three, for sure, with a couple of non-hit, but listenable songs. So, this is a low-end 4.
Very little offended me. Very little surprised or delighted me. Columbia seems like a poor man’s Three Strange Days.
I knew a handful of Oasis songs before; had only heard one on this album. This was great. I like the snarling vocals and the wall of sound. Rounding from 4.5.
4/5 - This is a great rock album, especially for a lot of the crap that was getting produced at the time. Had been a long time since I listened to it, but happy to revisit. I could care less about these guys' personal drama.
Much better than I anticipated. Cohesive, enjoyable album.
Me encanto joya de album
i don't "get" them really. maybe the other album.
Just not my thing. Objectively, but not subjectively good?
Músicas de Caio Copolla
Chato mais bom
I like some songs. Extra point for city fans
Pretty okay album, not really an Oasis guy but Shakermaker was really good.
4/5
Elite, columbia a new find
you can already hear the signature oasis sound in this record, however, felt dull and veryyy repetitive overall, my favorite on there was probably slide away - which sounds exactly like their later hits lol
Not as iconic as what’s the story but still has some good ones
definitely ok
This one took about half-way through the album to click with me. The first few songs felt pretty un-inspired, but about the time 'Live Forever' came through it started to connect. Wouldn't say it's a favorite, but I'm starting to "get" Oasis a bit more now. Even looking forward to their next album...the Gallagher brothers are still dicks, though.
Nice first listen, seeing as my mom's from Manchester and loves oasis
Rock 'n' Roll Star- I can't understand the lyrics but I liked the music Shakermaker- again I liked the music but the voice annoyed me. Live forever- omg I know this song! This is so nostalgic. Wait this is actually good when not played by rock and pop club. Up in the sky- it was ok, kinda sounded like the others but good I guess. Columbia- I am revising while doing this so I'm not paying a lot of attention. It sounded like the rest but probably because I don't know them. It was also good/ok. Supersonic- interesting intro! Bring it on down- omg it also sounds the same but with a fancy intro. I've probably just not listened to enough oasis? I stopped giving my thoughts but I think I would've enjoyed a lot more when listening to songs individually, not as part of an album because they sounded the same to me because I don't know them.
I don't like britpop. I don't want to like Oasis. I was tapping my foot along to this record. My life is a lie.
Liked it! Would listen again. Very consistent sound throughout, but that makes it hard to distinguish standout songs
They definitely insist upon themselves.
La la la pew pew pew
Not really a rock kinda person but Live forever wasn't too bad.
It's a decent debut album, but I don't like the production. It all sounds a bit muddled and they sound like they are underwater in some songs. There are about 3 or 4 great songs here and you can hear the direction they are headed in.
Very nice 👨🏻
Can't go wrong with oasis. This is really good! They get so much flack for wonderwall but I think this album shows their genuine talent. 8/10
возможно нужно сконцентрированно послушать, а возможно и раз меня на фоне не впечатлило, то и так тоже
Owned . Superb stuff.
A cool and decent album. Liked a few songs, but it’s too monotonous for me
absolute classic one of the greatest debuts ever
Not on the same level as Morning Glory, but still really solid and enjoyable. Highlights: "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (except the outro) and "Live Forever."
When to listen: Gray day, candle lit, tea brewed, maybe spiked with some liquor. Loved this album: the musicianship, the variety, the lyrics.
Maybe... definitely. What I heard is not what I hear. It keeps me up at night.
If I was still in high school I'd be giving this a 10/10, but after over a decade it's deprecated a bit given my current musical tastes. All said though, still enjoyable. Noel Gallagher had a knack for writing some really damn catchy riffs, and I can still enjoy Liam's nasal "I wanna beeeee John Lennoooooon" voice. Just wish the actual lyrics Liam was singing weren't nonsense half the time. 7.5/10.
Cohesive album that keeps a good time and the lyrics are pretty dreamy too. The tracks don't do much for me on their own though, Live Forever was the only track I listened to beforehand and likely the only one I'll listen to after.
8/10 This rocks.
The singer is scientifically engineered to annoy me
Like trudging through a swamp for what feels like 2 hours
This was ok album that had songs that I forgot once the next track started playing. Wouldn't mind listening to the songs but definitely wouldn't pick and choose to listen to this. 2/5 Best track? Maybe Supersonic.
Premier album d'OASIS. Très rock Pref : Bring it down
From Manchester, and always hated oasis which feels illegal. Just a lack of originality, and Gallaghers whiny boring voice. Didn't enjoy this!
Liam Gallagher is an obnoxious boor who can't write a song. Let's take Live Forever Maybe I don't really wanna know How your garden grows 'Cause I just wanna fly Lately, did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks you to the bone? Maybe I just wanna fly Wanna live, I don't wanna die Maybe I just wanna breathe Maybe I just don't believe Maybe you're the same as me We see things they'll never see You and I are gonna live forever What a load of absolute twaddle. And he then goes on to sing the same verse/chorus another two times, the lazy git, a tactic he repeats. Noel can knock out a decent tune and they kind of reinvented the indie stadium rock sound after the Cult defined it with love, but can't override the annoyance that I feel everytime I see his stupid self-satisfied, punchable face, or hear his faux-Manc posturing vocals. Sun-sheeee-yine - fuck off!
It's good! Even without the hits it's still enjoyable.
No strong feelings, I'd listen again.
oasis no interpela,solo acompaña
lol nah
It was all downhill from here 4.1/5
Great album
stodgy, samey, highly derivative dadrock
It took me longer than most to get on the Oasis train. Kurt had just died and I didn't like the faux hard man posturing of the band, and I hated Whatever. I did like Live Forever though. But it took me until What's The Story to become a fan. There's no escaping the importance of this album. Is it the best album of the 90s, or of 1994? No. But it is essential.
The fact that Oasis are still so beloved despite releasing nothing but shite for their final FIVE albums is testament to how beloved and fantastic their first two are. Huge, dumb, loveable choons and lightning in a bottle chemistry and charisma and chutzpah to pull them off. (This is the exact same review I gave What's The Story Morning Glory, because to these ears the first two Oasis albums are essentially the same. Having said that I gave WTSMG 4 stars and this 5. I will not elaborate).
3,9/5
What a boring album. Look I'm no fan of oasis to begin with. The only song I remember from this listen was live forever and I don't think I'd ever willingly listen to this again. 2
Solid listen for a debut album. Few standouts, but few bad songs.
This has really popular songs but I can separate the Gallaghers from their work
Oasis is sneaky good to me. 4/5
Hey, it's pretty good! 'Simple but sweet' is the best way to describe this album for me. It's not groundbreaking or hugely experimental, and I think that's why I liked it. This challenge can get a bit exhausting at times with how artsy-fartsy some of these albums get. So I did appreciate Oasis kicking down the door and going "fuck that, let's just rock for a bit."
It's already becoming cool to hate on this. But I like me some Oasis with no wonderwall in sight. Cigarettes and Alcohol is a great anthem to a dreary morning commute and live forever might be basic but I will pour one out some day to the tune of it.
Part of me wants to truly dislike oasis, but I can’t. The album brings back nostalgia, Liam’s vocals are iconic and so satisfying to hear, the guitars, at times verging on psychedelic, are excellent. I suffered a delay in my listening schedule as I had Slide Away stuck in my head the entire day, but Columbia, as well as the version with Noel’s vocals in Disc 2 of the album, comes out as a new favourite. They knew they had something to give to the world, and they delivered it in this album.
Excelente
greatest album in history of rock
Definitely No 1.5/5
Maybe, Definitely, an album. Hard for me to say much more than that. I have never cared much for Oasis, and this one is no outlier in that regard. This was tolerable, but I don't see why I'd revisit it. I feel the need to review it harsher because it's so well-regarded, and I don't like when an album or band is so popular but their output is so milquetoast. 2/5
It was awesome to listen to this a day after listening to Blur. They’re really different for being so similar! Great album, great vibe, shout out Noel Gallagher
Another banger album. Oasis rips. Such a skill to make groovy, fun, and catchy music without it getting boring. Nothing here will musically blow you away but damn does it work together. If it sounds great, it is great, and this is great. Favorite track: Supersonic or Married With Children
A few very very nice songs. Many not bad, but didn’t excite me as much
A masterpiece
pane e salame
Yep, good (again) Adored in my early teens, gateway to multiple bands/genres, which made me snooty towards the beginning of it all
classic rock, louis' inspiration
Very much what I was expecting from an Oasis album. Before today I have only heard their most famous songs and this album is similar in a lot of ways. Some pretty good songs mixed with many "meh" songs. Nothing I would search up or come back to in the future but not music I would skip either.
Great Band! Highlights: Live Forever, Shakermaker, Supersonic, Slide Away and Whatever. 4.0
I can see why it was massive but it doesn't break new ground and Liams vocal style grates on me
Absolutely acceptable
Prefer Blur
Easy listening
Rock 'n' Roll Star is sick
- their voices are annoying - every song is Wonderwall - not a fan
The 90s popular rock scene was just atrocious. Most formulaic, bland genre until 2010s country. All songs are basically the same so no highlights for this album.
Ist nicht so wirklich meins, liegt vielleicht an der Zeit, aber es catcht mich gar nicht. Keiner der Songs hat so richtig meine Aufmerksamkeit erregt, ich hätte irgendwie mehr erwartet nach dem, was ich gehört habe. Gegen Ende wird es auf jeden Fall besser, so die letzten drei Songs. Sonst kenne ich auf jeden Fall bessere Songs von Oasis, die mir direkt in den Kopf kommen würden. Aber dafür ist es ja da: um auch Songs kennenzulernen, die eben nicht jeder kennt bzw. nicht die bekanntesten des Künstlers sind.
