Definitely Maybe

5 fácil. O álbum é super bem produzido, vocais do Liam são como esperados então nesse ponto né nenhuma surpresa. Os solos de algumas faixas são absolutamente satisfatórios.

idk what bro is talking about in most of the songs on this and the guitars are muddy. good shit tho especially married with children. 3.5/5

It was good, not entirely my cup of tea tho

Solid classic. Would / should listen to again.

One of the three best oasis albums.

Fine, I guess. Not sure why it's held in such esteem, but nothing bad.

Oasis will now be stuck in my head for 5 business days

Already a favorite summer album. Sounds great loud in the car with the windows down

Definitely Maybe is one of those albums I never really question and love! From the first track it feels confident, loud, and full of belief and cockiness … great album !! Big guitars, big tunes, big attitude, no messing about. It sounds hungry and unapologetic, and that energy still comes through every time I play it. For me, this is Oasis at their best. Raw, exciting, and full of intent and Manchester swagger. Five stars.

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

Huh. Turns out, I like Oasis much more than I thought I did.

Varmasti ehkä paras Oasiksen levy

A solid album that is quintessentially Oasis, and yet, none of these songs are ones that I've heard before. The album is well made and serves as great British rock album for the early 90s. Favorites are "Rock 'n' Roll Star", "Shakermaker", "Supersonic", and "Slide Away"

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

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

I feel like every song sounded the same

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

Amazing. SuperSonic. Slide Away. Live Forever. Three of the best songs of all time.

5/10 This was always going to be a tough one for me. Oasis have never been my thing, but as with any album, I always do my best to go in with an open mind. There are some decent enough songs on here, actually. Nothing particularly spectacular, but passable pop-rock songs that would sit well in the songbook of many half-decent mainstream rock band of the time. Unfortunately, they’re often compromised by Liam Gallagher’s voice, which nasally drawls and drones over the top of it all, prioritising attitude over musical skill. That obviously works for some, but for me, it’s always come across as pretty unlikeable and this full listen of the album hasn’t done a lot to change my mind. Weirdly, his vocal style is actually fairly inconsistent, and in places isn’t actually too bad, but that doesn’t particularly help with the flow and consistency of the album to my ears. The songs themselves are often pretty simple compositions, but are, in most instances fairly well put together, performed and produced. You can definitely hear that this is a debut album, as there are weak areas where things go a little underdeveloped, and there are times when basic ideas are dragged on for too long, but for the most part, things aren’t bad. I think the thing that really gets me about this record, and Oasis in general, is that it actually, vocals excepted, sounds pretty generic and doesn’t stand out from among the crowd. I kind of feel, as mentioned in my song by song, that if you removed Liam and replaced him with another singer, most of these tracks could have been by one of any number of britpop bands that were around at the time. I’ve heard a theory that Oasis became as big as they did because the Stone Roses, in their failure to follow up their debut album in a timely manner, left a massive vacuum for a northern, attitude edged rock band to fill and that Oasis were the first to fit the bill, which kind of makes sense. As for this album, I think it more or less met my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is still pretty middle of the road and in no way worthy of being as highly rated as it is. Awful? No. Over-rated? Massively. For me? Again, no. Rock 'N' Roll Star - This is a decent enough rock and roll based number. Liam’s voice is quite irritating, the way he slurs and drawls over everything, but underneath that, it’s not bad. It’s a fairly by the numbers rock song that doesn’t do anything vastly interesting or innovative, but does what it does fairly well. Unfortunately, it’s also a half-decent three minute rocker that drags on for five and a half minutes. It feels like they’re trying to be ‘experimental at the end, but it’s pretty unconvincing. Shakermaker - An uncredited take-off of a Coca-Cola advertising jingle? Ok then. It’s slow, plodding, unoriginal and boring. And then we have to listen to Liam's awful slurring vocals droning on (and on and on) over the top. The pace is all wrong, the composition is basic and boring and it drags on for over five minutes! What a load of old rubbish. Live Forever - Ah, one of the big singles. It’s got one of the most unconvincing transitions to falsetto that I can recall. It’s pretty basic, particularly the guitar solo, but it’s not a bad little song really. Liam continues to be the worst thing about the band, but other than that, this is a decent entry into the brit-pop/indie songbook of the 90s. It’s instrumentally well performed, has some decent melodic hooks and captures the sound of 90s British rock well. That said, listening to this, I don’t really get why this has is any better than other contemporary bands. Up In The Sky - This isn’t that bad, it’s got a fairly repetitive riff that drags on a bit too much, but it’s got decent pace. When Liam isn’t unnecessarily dragging out his vowels, he's far less annoying, and he perhaps does it less here. I can’t believe they dragged this riff out for as long as they have though. Columbia - This is another by the numbers indie rock number. As with the rest of the album thus far, it’s largely competently performed and produced, but it doesn’t really offer anything that elevates it above being a decent album track from one of any number of bands of the time. Swap out the singer and tell me this is a Space, Dodgy or Supergrass track and I’d fully believe you. It’s not particularly exciting, but it’s decent enough. Supersonic - I’m not one to hook on to lyrics particularly often, only ever really latching onto lyrical content with songs that I've listened to a lot of times. But the lyrics here stuck out as being particularly poor. Lazy rhyming that sounds like the last minute poetry homework of an unengaged teenager. It’s a slow, fairly ponderous song with some decent elements of sound design in there, but it’s pretty slow to do anything. There’s at least a bit of range between sections, but it does become pretty repetitive. Bring It On Down - This has a nice rolling start that leads into something with really good pace and drive. The drawling singing drags away some of the momentum though. With a sharp, staccato vocal, this could have worked a lot better. Some nice guitar playing in here and the drumming is solid too. Unfortunately, it never really develops particularly far and it’s all pretty dynamically flat, but it’s still pretty decent. Cigarettes & Alcohol - Ah, Bang a Gong by T-Rex, but if you strip it of all its charm away and get an annoying prick to whinge over the top of it. It’s very splashy and cluttered in the highs in the mix which makes it a little tough on the ears. And good god, Liam’s vocal delivery is just atrocious. It eschews timing and tightness for ‘attitude’, but that attitude is of someone threateningly asking you for a quid so they can get the bus. Digsy's Dinner - This is better. It’s got a bit of rhythmic range and dynamism to it and Liam is reigning in his more irritating tendencies. Not convinced by that piano solo though. Sheesh. It all becomes a bit of a wash after a while though and then it’s done. Again, sounds like a decent but not standout track from any number of bands of the time. Slide Away - This is another by the numbers pop-rock composition. It’s pretty one-paced, but it’s not too bad. It’s got a decent amount of musical swagger to it and there are some decent bits of instrumental work in there. And then it drags on for 6 minutes, which is just way too long. Especially the two separate bits where he relentlessly sings “slide away”. Married With Children - This sounds a lot like Blur. It’s pretty good actually. Liam’s voice is a little on the nasal side, but it’s got less of the annoying drawling. It’s nice and stripped back and doesn’t overdo things and while it’s a pretty simple composition, what it does, it does right and then doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Did not do enough for me. Songs were a bit samey. Wouldn't revisit this over other albums in the genre.

I mean really? before I die?

Not my favorite Oasis album but still really good. Some of my favorite songs on here and these guys were just on another level at the time.

Listens: 3 Standout tracks: Live Forever Two Oasis albums less than 20 albums apart. I guess that's fine. Sort of surprised to see two albums on the List though. This was a totally fine entry. I have listened before, but probably not since the mid 2000s when I was in my music-collecting phase. Had to have every album in the discography.

Fucking banging. Yeah bruv that shit goes hard. Fookin unreal, innit? Real talk though, great album and it sounds fantastic. What’s The Story has all the hits but this one is just as good!

Pretty one paced. Gets a nostalgia round up even though all the hits are elsewhere.

Now this is proper Brit pop, but still doesn’t really grab me where it grabs some, or so I hear…

Liked it mote than I thought I would. Still not a fan of Liam Gallagher’s voice.

definitely not.

Me remémore ma fin du secondaire.

Première fois j'écoutais Definitely Maybez et je suis un grand fan de Morning Glory. Je réalise que la voix de Liam est vraiment fatigante. La simplicité des compos (et leur efficacité) me fait penser à U2. L'aspect grungy rock me fait penser à The Bends, mais avec une énergie moins déprimante.

Parmi mes albums favoris. Vraiment du gros rock simple mais efficace.

Good

Born to be cool, obligated to hear oasis. Muito chatinho, exceto live forever. 3/5 porque é o trabalho dos caras.

This came up after the other oasis album. It's almost as good and precedes the other oasis album. I'd say you should listen to it but I reckon on its own it's a 3.

A fantastic album showcasing this bunch of lads just as they were about to take on the world. It may not be at the same godly tier of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, but it's still so banging that I'm giving it the supreme score.

Amazing

It’s about the attitude.

I knew I had to listen to Oasis EVENTUALLY, and I was pleasantly surprised! There were great depth and lyrical meaning in this album. It sounded a little repetitive, but that could just be me.

-finally an album that I actually enjoyed (almost) every song -listened to it on the drive to school, my dad vibed with it heavy too

Pleasantly surprised

Pas mon album préféré d'oasis

Buen debut, definitivamente llevaron una formula fresca en el 94 No he escuchado a profundidad el álbum donde está Wonderwall, pero probablemente ese sea mejor que este, no lo digo por comparar pero más bien reconociendo que tan capaces son Respect

An album I know so well it feels like cheating. Great to see them have their renaissance in 2025 and gain a whole generation of new fans.

First time I’ve ever listened to an oasis album. Obviously familiar with their mega hits, but this was not what I got from this album. I can hear where greatness comes later, but honestly this album was pretty meh. The vocal melodies were boring and followed the chords a lot and the songs were forgettable. It was a good vibe and I like the production, layered guitars and the “live” feel about it. I’ll bet it was awesome in pubs in the UK at the time. Hoping the next album is more impressive.

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.

Oasis were one of the main soundtracks to my youth but I've barely listen to them for the past twenty or so years. Their debut has a degree of energy that overrides how derivative their music is. An energy that quickly started to disappear as they started to believe their own hype. As a result, I found myself enjoying Definitely Maybe more than I thought I would. It's certainly the peak of Oasis.

Un discazo, símbolo de su época.

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

Its okay, not offensive andor anything particulary wrong with it, it just didnt stick for me. If someone said they really loved this album i could understand. Just not for me.

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

Can't say I particularly enjoyed it. I found the vocals quite whiny, which is a staple of 90s british rock. Some of the guitar work was pretty good, but most of it did feel quite the same, except for cigarettes and alcohol none of the songs really stood out to me. 6.5/10

Like their idols The Beatles before them, this is a perfect debut album.

I was honestly expecting to dislike this but it was pretty engaging, though a bit long and the tracks blended together a bit. All around not bad at all. 3/5

not a good band. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

It’s pretty boring isn’t it

Sounds good but it's aaaaall so similar?

My youth

Very good brit pop, succinct

Never been an Oasis fan.

(58/100)

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Definitely an Oasis album

The "lesser" of the Oasis albums really felt that way. A couple of bangers, but overall it lacked the pizzazz of What's the Story...

A solid five stars for this one. Not a perfect album but incredibly good, a bloody fantastic debut album, and listening to the layers and wall of noise that is Oasis is my happy place.

Wel leuk, maar niet helemaal mijn ding

Good album

The intros to almost every song in the first half sound like things that came before, but that familiarity probably isn't viewed as a bad thing. On the other hand, it's definitely RAWK MUSIC, but different than what came before it. Ah, dichotomies. Fun listen mostly.

Feel like the radio hits (Live Forever, Supersonic) didn't hit as hard as the ones that were a little fresher. Not sure I was psyched on anything as much as Rock 'n Roll Star for the rest of the album, which is always a disappointing feeling, kind of expected just one more song to really blow me away somewhere deeper down the tracklist.

The first seconds already got me so interested! The last music also hits different, but in the other way. If you listened, you know what I mean.

😪

Hell fuckin yea brother Best Song: Slide Away Rating: 8.5/10 Stars: 4

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.

5/5 don't even need to listen

Outside of a few tracks I've never heard any of this album. And yet, I've heard this all before. I'm not hearing the "new sound" that initial reviews are so excited for. And whatever the "grunge had died with Kurt Cobain" from JK in 1001 sentiment is crazy. Maybe he was right that the musical landscape in the UK was "barren." I know Oasis despite (or because of) the turbulent relationship of the Gallagher brothers can crank out some hits. I'm just not hearing it yet. Live Forever Married With Children

Rock'n'Roll Star - 4/5 Shakermaker - 3.5/5 Live Forever - 4/5 Up In The Sky - 3.5/5 Columbia - 4.5/5 Supersonic - 4/5 Bring It On Down - 4.5/5 Cigarettes & Alcohol - 4/5 Digsy's Dinner - 5/5 Slide Away - 4/5 Married With Children - 3.5/5

Music's shite, keeps me up al night

I definitely maybe remember when this came out and they were making noise within the music lovers community. I didn't get into the disc or the band at the time, so this is my first time listening to the entire album. I vividly remember "Live Forever" getting a lot of airplay, it's a good track but nothing that deserved the hype it got at the time. "Supersonic" is the second most popular track, I have never heard that on American radio, same goes for "Cigarettes & Alcohol", another 100M track. Solid listening counts for all 11 songs, the weakest has over 25M and the most popular hs over 400M. Almost all of their songs could be 1 minute shorter and remove a chorus or two (see "Slide Away"!). In hindsight I understand why I didn't get into them. It seems self indulgent at times, boring at others, wall of sound with no breaks, repetitive with forced hooks, too Brit pop for me. "Shakermaker", "Digsy's Baby", "Up In The Sky" and "Columbia" are weak songs. The average outweighs the good on this one. One dimensional band. You had to grow up in England to really dig this one. It hard to give this more than 2.5 stars, but I'll round up since apparently it strikes a chord with the Brits for whatever reason. Not quite shite they might say.

4.5 stars. Debut that start to finish a classic, full of great songs. It's the good version of Britpop is supposed to be: pop-y enough to be catchy but has enough edge on the guitars to keep it interesting. Noel's debut songwriting is impressive and Liam's singing is tailor-made for the music. Standouts are "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and "Live Forever".

Overrated.

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

Only really discovered this after their second album (yeah, my bad). Not as consistently fabulous as that, but many bangers still...

Barnstorming. Not their best album but on the distribution of this list, still easily cleared the bar of 5. A great time!

so nostalgic, but i didn’t realise how some of the lyrics are a little bit cliche

A little disappointing. Considering Oasis' cultural impact, I would have expected something that leaves a stronger impression upon me. There's nothing wrong with it.

Masterpiece, but (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? is better IMO

Bit surprised to see 'What's the Story?' scoring higher. This is better, and came before they got too irksome

Can't help but love old british rock. Oasis albums are all five stars idc.

Great listening

I prefer this to What's the Story. Good record!

It’s aight. Not better than Morning Glory

Not good. His voice was grating.

Very Oasis Fave song: live forever

4.5 egentligen

90s music is overrated. Regurgitated mishmashes of the 60s, 70, and 80s pretending to be nu. Liam Gallagher has a whiney grating voice, too.

PEAK

This was the album that introduced me to Oasis. A solid album from start to finish. In my opinion it is equal best with the follow up before their egos got the better of them. 4 star. Best track - cigarettes and alcohol.

I don’t WANT to like Oasis… the guys are jerks and Blur is really a better band. But I have to admit this is a fun album

A debut album with the band at arguably their peak. Raw, driven. Liam's vocals cut through with the perfect first track, rock n roll star it sets the stall for the ambition of a band, that at the time, became one of the biggest on the planet. Live forever was the breakthrough single and it holds up. Digsy's dinner could is like many of the countless b-sides that are just classic, simple songs but somehow capture the essence of Oasis

Has to be one of the best debut albums made.

I liked the end of Columbia, but the rest of the album was all a bit too samey.

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!

Very disappointing. 2.5 rounding up.

I wouldn’t put any song on on my own but if a song of this album played, I probably wouldn’t skip it. Was a bit too rocky for me

Is it perfect? No. Is it even as good as the band claim it to be? No. But it's rock pop written and played with the passion and vigour of lads that knew they had one chance to be the biggest band in the world. And they took it.

It's definitely maybe for sure.

Very fun to start, some huge Oasis hits mixed in with some new songs for me. Definitely has that defiant, british edge to it and some killer guitar pieces. Curious to see where the album goes to - debut album sounding like this is wild. By the time "Supersonic" has come off I'm floored this is a debut. This was tremendous, polished sound with an edge to it. Feeeeeelin SUpersonic

Brilliant

Mad fer it

Not my kind of music.

live forever 1994 united kingdom britpop

I feel like their second album gets more of the glory (hehe Morning Glory). I had never listened to this album before. But it sounds like they are having fun and it's got a charm and energy of a band seemingly before all the fame and drama. I enjoy it. Standout songs: Shakermaker, Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Slide Away

I really enjoyed this album, not my usual style of music but they hit it good. My only gripe with this album that really annoyed me is his voice gets pretty whiny sometimes which I despise, and specifically the one song "Slide Away" where he sings the words "Slide Away" like 20 times for about a minute and a half. Awful choice on that part. Solid 3/5 for me because of that.

Solid, good, great and awesome. Great moments, some okay moments, but overall really good and fun.

Skipped through most of the album. Not my jam

Oasis sind eine britische Band aus Manchester. Definitely Maybe wurde 1993 und 1994 in mehreren Studios aufgenommen, darunter die Monnow Valley Studios in Wales, die Sawmills Studios in Cornwall sowie Maison Rouge in London. Die wechselnden Aufnahmeorte und Produzenten führten zu einem dichten, teils rauen Sound, der stark auf Gitarren und direkte Songstrukturen setzt. Musikalisch ist das Album klar im Britpop verortet, greift aber ebenso auf klassischen Rock der 1970er Jahre zurück. Stücke wie „Rock ’n’ Roll Star“, „Supersonic“ und „Live Forever“ wurden schnell zu zentralen Songs im Katalog der Band und prägten ihr öffentliches Image. Die Texte bewegen sich zwischen Selbstbehauptung, Alltagsbeobachtung und jugendlichem Größenanspruch, ohne dabei besonders vielschichtig sein zu wollen. Insgesamt wirkt Definitely Maybe geschlossen und zielgerichtet, mit einer Energie, die den späteren Stil von Oasis klar vorzeichnet. Als Debütalbum ist es überzeugend und markiert einen wichtigen Startpunkt, ohne bereits alle Facetten der Band auszuschöpfen.

8/10

this record is just good fun. straight forward, no nonsense rock n roll. oasis had rock music down to a science, and churned out a remarkable amount of hit songs in a relatively short time. this record launched the band straight into the stratosphere, and well, the rest is history; sold out stadiums, heaps of drama, and millions of adoring, almost ravenous fans. say what you want about the gallaghers, but they were destined to be rock stars, and this record proves it.

Oh it's that one debut album by those Britpop fellas. I don't think I'm made it very clear (I have made it very clear) but I am British, and as such I've heard a number of these songs since I more or less gained consciousness. Honestly this sounds like I'm building up to complain but no I actually quite like some of this. There is a decent chunk of style on this album that certainly does a lot for many, the guitars are pretty rough and energy on most of the album is very upbeat, but I genuinely think those are the most uninteresting bits of this album. But alongside that style there is substance in songs like Live Forever and Married With Children. Maybe a little long, songs like Digby's Dinner do nothing at all for me but it's not like the Gallagher brothers to ever approach the idea of "less is more". I think this is a good album, a very solid debut but it certainly doesn't light the fire in my heart, and it's certainly weaker than the following album but that album is "What's the Story (Morning Glory)?" in fairness. As britpop goes this is like high B maybe low A tier but it's certainly not Oasis at their best and it doesn't quite hold a flame to Pulp... but that's just me. Best songs: Live Forever Worst songs: N/A Rank compared to everything else so far: 25/46 (below Fear of a Black Planet, above Green)

This is an album a have a lot of experience with, both voluntary and involuntary through my Dad playing it in the 90s on his shiny new HiFi system or on the car stereo ("What's the Story" getting a similar amount of love on both systems). It does have a place in my heart, regardless of my relationship with my Dad as it stands today, but I will try to be as objective as humanly possible here. I've always believed that the opening track of an album is meant to set the tone and vibe for the rest of the album and "Rock'n'Roll Star" pulls it off immensely. People complain about "Muddy guitars" and "Liam's nasal voice", but this is what Oasis came to be loved for by millions of people. "Live forever", though repetitive, has a pretty uplifting set of lyrics backed by an emotional melody. Though appealing to youth, it has more impact listening to it now as an adult. As the album progressed, and other familiar songs cropped up like "Supersonic" and "Cigarettes and Alcohol" (which both have iconic riffs ansd relatable lyrics, even if the latter knicked it from T-Rex) I realised that this album (and perhaps Oasis at large) are hugely hit and miss. I enjoyed "Columbia", but there was nothing memorable about it. The same can be said "Up in the Sky" and "Bring it on Down". It's either a bullseye or a blunder with each song, regardless of whether I ultimately liked it. About the only track that wowed me outside of the most popular tracks was "Slide Away", with a really catchy and emotional melody with lyrics to match. This is a new track to add to the playlist. This was another one I did enjoy, but putting my memories of it aside, it's undeniable the hit and miss nature, as previously stated, of this album. For a debut, it's pretty good going, considering that it paved the way for What's the Story, which is arguably there best album of the lot.

I loveeee this album.

This album was one of my first interesting album journeys. “Married with children” already was one of my very very favorite songs, so I was already keen to hear the full list. At the beginning it was hard for me to keep up, it was nothing particularly interesting. But I was hooked on from Columbia. Bring It On Down was a total mind blown! I loved the guitar solo sooo much. I also very much liked Digsy’s Dinner. And the finishing with “Married with children” is a chef’s kiss. I love that beautiful song so much.

Amazing!!!!!

This is a 4.4 rounded down to a 4. Great album but not the best of oasis so i can’t really give it a 5. But if i had adult money i would pay the 300 something pounds to go see them. This rating was definitely a battle between do i actually love this song or is it just really nostalgic

This is a good album. Agreeable rock with creative rhythms, crazy this is the first Oasis album. Consistently high quality, with a couple real bangers in there. I've always liked Oasis to some extent, but even by that standard this album was better than expected.

Oasis sounds BIG. Big hooks, big production; I can totally understand why people thought they would be the next Beatles. Unfortunately, I greatly dislike the Beatles. The lyrics can come off pretty trite, but the power of Liam Gallagher's delivery can make you forget that at times. The music itself can sound a little manufactured, too, but the combination of everything comes together in an unexpectedly charming package. Still, the trick kind of relies on the listener's lack of deep listening. This is the sound of a band succeeding despite themselves. They do have a good sound, the 90's production really does things for me, and overall, I found myself enjoying Definitely Maybe. I'm not a new Oasis fan or anything, and I probably won't put this on again anytime soon, but in the span of the record, they kinda won me over. Highlights: "Up in the Sky", "Columbia"

Definitely

Ja ik vind het alright maar zeker niet geweldig. Prima album

We'll have lasaaaaaagnaaaaaa 3,5 reten maar dat kan niet

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

Leuk. Prima rockliedjes. Ik kan me voorstellen dat dit kan werken in een arena vol dronken Britten. Live Forever is een grote highlight.

Pretty alright I guess.

Live forever increíble

love this one

LOVE ITT

Nice to hear an album of well regarded music from Oasis that isn't Wonderwall. The vocals grew somewhat irritating by the end, but the music overall was easily held aloft by the intricate and interesting guitar work, as well as the generally upbeat vibes of the songs.

I'm shocked at how good this was i was not expecting it to be so stacked with bangers. Definitely the best of the 7(!!!!!) albums I've listened to today

Honestly I never have really listened to a lot of classic rock music so this was a new sound to me and was not bad at all. I understand why classic rock is such an appreciated genre because of how nice it sounds and I could see how it’s influenced a lot to music now. Will definitely add some some to the list.

Peak Oasis

no me gusta oasis

funny

More Brit Pop, and the worst of it. I refuse to listen to this.

Sensational

I like English rock and this is no exception!

I love this album here’s my earlier review: I definitely liked this album better than what´s the story morning glory mainly because there´s no wonderwall. Cigarettes and alcohol is a standout and the guitar sounds very similar to bang a gong by T. Rex which is one of my all time favorite albums and songs. Supersonic is peak as well.

#52 Not bad

Day 146 Like a lot of people my age in the UK, I was absolutely obsessed with Oasis as a teenager. I thought Liam Gallagher was the coolest man alive, tried to copy the haircut and the walk, called Blur a bunch of southern puffs, even though I secretly quite liked them, the lot. Fast forward a bit I had a flatmate who literally played nothing but this album and What’s the Story, Morning Glory? on repeat every single morning while getting ready for work and like that bloke who lived off McDonald’s for a year, even if you really love something, being force-fed it every day for an entire fucking year will eventually make you hate it. Because of that I went right off Oasis, just stopped listening to them entirely. I hadn’t heard this album for years and had absolutely no interest in the recent reunion tour. Coming back to it now with time passed though, I went back to loving it. It sounds so raw and exciting and took me straight back to being 16, drinking cheap cider in the park and feeling indestructible. They are not great or innovative musicians by any stretch of the imagination and the lyrics on songs like Shakermaker and Supersonic are total first draft nonsense, but it is impossible not to just get caught up in the attitude. I was listening while walking the dog and after a while realised I had my hands behind my back and was swaggering along like a fat mid-40s Liam wannabe. Despite the years I spent refusing to listen to this it is still easily a 10/10 album for me. now where’s me bucket hat? Highlights Live Forever Columbia Slide Away.

i really liked this album, i was surprised that i’d only heard one song before (that i could remember) (supersonic). i think i had assumed that what’s the story was their debut album.

already had a few songs saved but this is a pretty awesome album. objectively good but some of it is sorta forgettable i think.

Lound and dumb and fun. Very pop and still a bit unhinged

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

And after aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall, you're my wonderwaaaaaaall.

What a band, they may have ripped a lot of it off but the energy, attitude and production makes up for it. A couple of dud tunes but the hits? What hits they are. 5.0/5.0 Could (and have) listened to this all day Best Song: Colombia

It goes against, what we have said about 5-star albums needing to be wall-to-wall bangers, because, I don't think this is. The good songs are just so fucking good you don't really care about anything else. Best Song: Live Forever

I really do love this album, it's just not perfect and I feel like that's my criteria for a 5. It's a classic and I'll probably always come back to this one 🕺🕺

Some bangers and a great album overall - but it does all blend together by the end

I kept getting distracted by all the other songs jumping out at me between the guitar lines.

a weaker effort in their catalog, but live forever is an all timer.

i just finished watching derry girls so i feel like this got a more generous listen than it would have otherwise

Hey: That Sure is Oasis, vol. 3

хватило на один раз, скучный и голоса неприятные (

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

was alr

7.8/10 super great album loved everything, favourite probably married with children, however majority sounded the same to me ( I still loved them)

Favourite tracks: supersonic, married with children, and cigarettes & alcohol

Excellent album - a few id actually not listened to before

Man I think I hated Oasis in my youth because the singing sounded whiny lol. I guess they finally broke me.

3/5 6/10 Couple of classics solid album just not great

Beginning of brit pop legend

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

I like this whole album which is rare. Hardly any unlikeable songs. Great rocky sing alongside when in an upbeat mood. 4.3/5

just good

Okay, I listened to part of it and thought it was pretty good. But, I didn’t finish because I have been getting so many rock albums that i’m not feeling a ton haha.

Jaja como vas a empezar una carrera asi

For not having understood the hype behind Oasis for the longest time, I am glad to say this album really worked for me. I love how the instrumentals are massive and encompassing, with little space to breathe. This matches Liams aggressive and assertive vocals, which deliver on each track. Highlights were Rock n Roll Star, Up In the Sky, Columbia, SuperSonic, Bring It On Down, Cigarettes and Alcohol and Slide Away.

Not my normal music but had some good songs. the songs also had good "music" behind it. the beats were fun on some of the songs as well.

9.0/10 Classic.. love this

Liked Live Forever, rated 3/5

One of my favorite 90s records. So fun top to bottom. Standout tracks for me are 1) live forever 2) cigarettes and alcohol 3) supersonic. Record has a special spot in my music zeitgeist as I was listening to it a lot when my son was born.

Classic 90’s. The second album is better

Not the best people, but a solid album throughout

Ah they’re so good but…

Decent I spose

Album No. 0109 on my list. Funny enough, I revealed this album while traveling to Manchester. Anyway, there’s no easy way for me to write about “Definitely Maybe” in a neutral way, considering it’s been part of my all-time top ten for a long time. But it’s really just a great album. A great collection of songs. Lots of variety, still a lot of consistency. Great sound, no BS. Noel Gallagher really was an incredible songwriter during that period, and while I think its successor “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” has even better songs, Liam’s energy on this is better and the whole album is more straightforward. This was a really proper antithesis to the fading grunge genre, and I’ll add six songs to my playlist: “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star”, “Live Forever”, “Up In The Sky”, “Supersonic”, “Cigarettes and Alcohol”, and “Slide Away”, but I might as well have added the whole album. Very good stuff, very cool lads, very good music for aspiring rock ‘n’ roll stars. 5/5 stars!

My top songs from this album in no particular order are: Up In The Sky Columbia Married With Children

Fucking fedt

A banger of a Brit pop album. I know the hits very well from a playlist. Listening to the whole thing through was interesting.

Still remains a pretty vital debut. Whilst there's nothing particularly original going on, it's done with humour and heart to make it feel great.

Great debut

Dude's voice becomes a tiresome bore after a few songs.

At times I really liked his voice and in some songs, I didn’t. But overall it was a good album.

even better live

Favorite songs: Rock 'n' Roll Star, Live Forever, Supersonic, Bring it on Down

Classic 90’s, great debut album

Alright

See my notebook for notes on each song, but this album was awesome! I loved the mix of new (back then) sound and older influences and references. The use of metaphor had a clear through-line across the album, and you could definitely see the influence of addiction on the music. Even the seemingly happy songs were tinged with some jaded sadness, making for a complex listen.

Great songs, but i mean like its not like pink floyd level. not massively my stuff either but i mean, still i do enjoy it.

PEAAAAK

Am I wrong to say that much of their success was how hot these two brothers were?

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

When I met my future wife in college she was wearing an Oasis t-shirt. The rest is history.

had some good songs.

Ooof, not looking forward to this

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

Good rock album. Not a huge fan of oasis.

Absolutely loved this album

I loved the lyrics but I enjoyed the sound more than anything else.

sunshyine everything blended together after a while 3/5

Solid

- Lembra muito stadium rock, meio pop rock e hard rock. Mas a inspiração mesmo vem de um atos pop dos anos 60, por exemplo Bubblegum Pop, R&B e folk. - A letra é eufórica e gera identificação por falar sobre momentos confusos, como amadurecimento. Fora os hits, achei o album monótono, com pouca variação de ideias.

I think the title here is correct. Definitely maybe. Artful noise, much better than the singles I've heard from this band, not sure I would revisit, though.

shut up Ronan

Full of bangers

Get it right up ye our kid

I know this is supposed to be one of their best but it only has a few songs that are actually worth it. It's not a bad listen overall.

Aye I still hate Oasis but this was very good

I really like Oasis’s music, and this was a good showcase for it. Definitely recommend.

* fave song - live forever * the marias did a cover of live forever and this is my first time actually listening to the original and its SO GOOD, I instantly knew this was going to be my favorite track on the album. columbia and supersonic were up there for me as well. married with children felt like a great closer to this album.

Had some good stuff. Even though I don’t listen to rock as much, I thoroughly enjoyed Live Forever and Digsy’s Dinner

Voice: 10/10 Instruments a bit boring Good genre

Meh.

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

Great rock anthems, with all the hallmarks of great rock anthems - great and prominent guitar hooks, catchy choruses, and memorable lyrics. There are really no bad songs on this album, and this is not just due to the songwriting, with the raw and muddled mixing sound combined with that iconic guitar tone breathing life into every song. Apart from the classics "Live Forever", "Supersonic" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star", lesser known songs "Up in the Sky" and "Columbia" are also great.

classic 1st album

I'm completely bias because I'm over familiar with the music, I'm a product of the 90s, I was at their reunion gig and I've seen Liam and Noel separately in their solo careers. Hands down one of the best debuts of all time. Basic musicianship but some of the most iconic songs of the 90s are here. 4/5.

Just a very average album from a below average band

Some absolute bangers, but non hits feel a bit samey. Surely a classic album for influence on 90s culture, but not one I want to listen to front to back often

Maybe… Had I been a bit younger when this came out, my score might be higher. It’s good, not great. Big rock sound, heavy dub. Vocals are unique, but not a fan of the whine. Lyrically good, but composition is average. Just my opinion, but that’s all that counts, right? 2 stars for each bratty brother.

It’s ok, maybe because of how famous they are it feels kinda basic

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

My first time listening to Oasis. I've seen Oasis vs Radiohead convos online and now I can say Radiohead clears. The singer sounds like his he sings with his mouth wide open. Solid album. (Your music's shite/it keeps me up all night)

As over-rated today as it was then.

Oasis is one of those bands that most people either love or hate. I just don't think about them that hard. I've heard them plenty - we had a few fans at the record store back when this came out. They've never clicked with me, but I've never really disliked their stuff either. It's an album done by a talented bunch, but it's nothing more than that to my ears.

Ugh ... in 1994 the hits on this album were tolerable, but by 1995, this was already dated and everyone was sick of it. I have said it so many times as this list just keep pumping out everything that was released in the 90s. The Nineties were an era of bands picking up scraps from everyone who came in the decades before. Some bands were able to make something good with those scraps. Oasis is not one of those bands.

Little underwhelmed on this one

Passar ganska bra en grå och mörk decembermorgon som är alldeles för varm. Bästa låtar: Live forever Supersonic Bring it on down

Does it remind me of the Beatles? Yes! Unfortunately, the Beatles that it reminds me of is my least favorite kind of Beatles - John Lennon's nasal, repetitive drone songs, though those are still more interesting than most of this album. There are a few highlights - I rather liked "Columbia" and "Married With Children" - but for the most part this one left me cold. And Liam Gallagher's bizarre over-enunciation (especially on tracks like "Cigarettes & Alcohol") REALLY annoys me. <oldmanyellsatcloud.gif>

Greatguitar, nostalgic music. Singing got repeatitive in some songs. Columbia is a favourite.

Pleasantly surprised

I'm sure it was fresh for its time, but I hear nothing but generic, uninspired pop rock. DNF

A few really good songs then one song repeated throughout essentially.

I loved this back in the day but I was largely put off as their fame and egos grew. If I take the album in isolation, there’s still a lot to like, maybe that is in part due to my familiarity, but I found myself enjoying this more than my grumpy self would like to admit. Perhaps what is remarkable, is that the album tracks perhaps aren’t quite as good as I remembered, whilst the well known singles carry this, with the exception of Columbia, which I enjoyed the most today. Many tracks have been overplayed and that does colour my enjoyment, even if in parts they exceed my expectations. My initial reaction when I pressed play was feeling underwhelmed, I expected it to sound bigger and fuller than it did, although that feeling somewhat dissipated as I worked my way through. What I dislike about this album is just how derivative it is, and I know it wears that as a badge of honour, but if I want to listen to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or T-Rex, then I will. The Gallagher brothers will always sour it for me, if I think hard enough about them I can see my rating dropping in front of my eyes. It’s far from perfect but it hugely defined a large section of British culture in the 90s and beyond, it probably deserves 4 stars but Noel shouldn’t be an insufferable prick.

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.

Not filled with guts bit very very solid album

This album is solid throughout, definitely one of the top oasis albums. Not a single track is a miss

Within 5 days, 3 Britpop bands - wow. OK, now having listened to The Boo Radleys three days ago and Blur's self-titled album 5 days ago, I can't say I'm equally impressed with this Oasis album. Never was a big fan of them either - too much of that laddish-cheerful-drunk-sing-along quality in their songs for my liking - and this (debut) album of theirs doesn't change my opinion much. Yeah, there are some good songs on it, and I liked the raw energy that their later albums would lack, but it's still a bit mediocre compared to the aforementioned bands. 3/5

What a way to start this journey with an absolute banger. Saw Oasis live so I can't give any other rating than the full 5 stars. Biblical.

One of my absolute favourites

Oasis m'agrada molt, aquest no es dels meus discs preferits. Aixi i tot es un album que podria tornar a escoltar. Destac la canço: Live Forever i també Slide Away. M'ha agradat també Married with children.

I never really listened to Oasis in the 90s, but this album sounds very nostalgic to me. I think it's just the 90s in general, where to me mid-90s rock was very open and large sounding. It's hard to explain, maybe it's something with the chord sequences. There's just something about mid-90s rock that I just connect with. Anyway, I like it. I feel like debut albums are usually just fine, but I think this is a pretty good debut.

Eh, not their best. Well it might be, I haven't heard the second one either. Surprisingly bland. A lot of bad tracks on here. 3 Heard before? Yes most of it Owned: No: 37/142 (26%) Will I get? No

MY LOVER OASIS IS BACK Don't love it as much as Morning Glory but still good Saved to playlist: Lived Forever, Up In The Sky, and Digsy's Diner, Slides Away, Married With Children Married With Children best song on here. I thought they rest of the album was just pretty good but fucking majestic finisher. I wanna give a standing ovation just cause they ended the album with this song 8/10

Too repetitive (DNF) Saved: Supersonic (didn't really feel like listening to the rest of the album after this song)

3 stars I always play this album expecting it to be the time I see what the fuss is all about. This album is beloved by some, voted as the best album of all time but some people in NME I think? But that’s laughable! Not because it’s bad, but because it clearly isn’t better than so many albums! There are some good, even great songs on this album. But there is so much generic boring stuff too and I never feel like getting through the whole thing. Their follow up was much better in my opinion, and then like most Americans I know nothing of their work post-1997. But this album is definitely maybe just fine.

1. I thought I'd like it more than I did, but I love ''Married with Children''. I'll give another try soon

Good! No tracks *really* stuck with me, but none of them I found grating or boring. Will definitely come back and reappraise

Just an absolute classic and not really sure what else to say tbh. Easy 5*

Fun album. Reminds me of highschool lol

Man, I'm gonna get hate for not liking these boys. I think their pretty mediocre. Don't even know why they are the most famous Brit Rock outlet. Sure I enjoy some songs. She's Electric and Some Might Say are even personal favorites, but as a whole, I don't find Oasis that interesting. Their debut didn't convince me otherwise. Has some nice songs, has some filler. Has some inventive moments, has some boring ones too.

Giving Definitely Maybe anything other than full marks would feel like a criminal offence where I’m from. I’m from Manchester, I was in my 20s in the 90s, and this album is basically woven into the brickwork. It landed like a statement of intent, loud, arrogant, and absolutely convinced of its own greatness. From the first blast of “Rock ’n’ Roll Star” it sounds like a band who already believe they’ve won, even if the rest of the world hasn’t quite caught up yet. What still works so well is the sheer confidence of it all. The songs are simple but massive, built on big hooks, big choruses, and that wall-of-sound guitar blur that somehow feels both sloppy and perfectly judged. “Live Forever,” “Supersonic,” and “Cigarettes & Alcohol” are not subtle songs, but they are timeless ones. There’s a sense of possibility running through the whole record, like everything is about to kick off and nothing can stop it. It captured a very specific moment, but it also transcended it. Of course it’s flawed. It’s noisy, it’s excessive, and it absolutely does not know when to rein itself in. But that is the point. Definitely Maybe is youth, swagger, and belief bottled at exactly the right moment. For anyone who was there, especially in Manchester, it is impossible to separate the music from the time, the place, and the feeling of it all. Five out of five, not just because it’s great, but because not giving it that would be asking for trouble.

3 out of 5. After finally listening past their singles I think I see why Oasis gets as much love as they do.

Some killer some filler

Greatest debut album of all time!!

Hard not to gush over this album, despite its inherent flaws of shit production, mediocre derivative music, and pretty average lyrics, because it captures a mood. I was 16 when this came out. Too young to appreciate the Stone Roses when they appeared some 5 or so years earlier, too young for the whole baggy scene, and UK music world seemed dominated by electronic dancey music, so having a guitar band that genuinely spoke to me was a life changer. But it took me a while to get into them, the early singles didn't register on my radar but hearing "Live Forever" was a revelation, instant fan time. It would be stupid not to give a pivotal, foundational moment in my musical education a solid 5.

Funny how debut albums have lots for energy and this is no exception by Oasis. Definitely one of their best, well maybe.

"Definitely Maybe" is, quite simply, one of the finest debut albums in rock 'n' roll history. There, I've said it! This may be a challenging statement for the critics who habitually sneer at Oasis as mere Beatles imitators, but the album’s enduring power speaks for itself. I bought this record upon its release 31 years ago, and its impact was immediate and explosive. Today, it remains just as loud and thrilling. From the opening, swaggering statement of intent, "Rock 'n' Roll Star", "Definitely Maybe" introduced the world to Oasis with an unapologetically brash and cocky roar. The album is a perfect storm of melodic song writing and raw energy. It’s packed with memorable, anthemic tunes that make you want to rock and groove in equal measure. Crucially, the spirit of the record is wonderfully optimistic and idealistic. Even if Noel Gallagher had stopped writing after this debut, tracks like "Live Forever" and "Slide Away" would have cemented his legacy. These are five-star-plus, stellar tunes. The guitar solo in "Live Forever" is a moment of pure, stunning melody. Equally breath-taking is "Slide Away," which stands out as the showcase for Liam Gallagher's vocal brilliance. In my opinion, this track contains his finest-ever vocal performance. Liam is, of course, a great and iconic frontman, but his true vocal identity and underrated abilities often get overlooked. He possesses a clear, instantly identifiable voice that is central to the album's sound. The album has that rare, magic ingredient of relatability that connects with listeners on a visceral level. If you've ever been in the crowd at one of their gigs, you'll understand. Oasis somehow manage to transform a huge venue, like Wembley Stadium, into an intimate space where every single song is sung back, word-for-word, by thousands. It's a phenomenon I'm glad I witnessed. While the album flows perfectly as a whole, the standout tracks truly define its excellence: "Rock 'n' Roll Star", "Live Forever", "Columbia", "Supersonic", "Bring It On Down", "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and "Slide Away". In short, "Definitely Maybe" is a fun, thrilling, wonderful record that remains one of the most exciting debuts ever recorded - well for me anyway. Five stars. "Biblical" to quote LG. 1 "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (5/5) 2 "Shakermaker" (5/5) 3 "Live Forever" (5/5) 4 "Up in the Sky" (5/5) 5 "Columbia" (5/5) 6 "Supersonic" (5/5) 7 "Bring It On Down" (5/5) 8 "Cigarettes & Alcohol" (5/5) 9 "Digsy's Dinner" (4/5) 10 "Slide Away" (5/5) 11 "Married with Children" (4/5) Total - 53 Average - 4.82 184/1001 100/184 albums reviewed were new to me.

These guys did not sound anything like I thought they were going to sound like. I thought it was going to be some more British shoegaze crap. That said, I like the guitarist but I don't like the singer. If don't like the singer, I can't get any further than that. Also the songs don't really have any good hooks except for a couple of them.

SLIDE AWAY SLIDE AWAY SLIDE AWAY SLIDE AWAY SLIDE AWAY SLIDE AWAY

It was okay, but I found it kind of boring.

Que foda, eu fui na turnê de 30 anos desse álbum, e eu tava curtindo muito ouvir ele no ônibus pra Dublin. Gosto da energia das musicas, e consigo ver a inspiração nos Beatles que eles tiveram, com um toque mais agressivo que me lembro o The Who no inicio. As musicas me animam do inicio ao fim, tem um valor sentimental, então vou de 5.

Columbia, Slide Away, Up in the Sky all great

Did not finish- this album did not hold my interest.

it was okay i liked it

It’s fine

Unremarkable brit pop

I think I’ve given them a fair shake but just can’t get into it, his voice in particular displeases me. Also maybe hard to separate the music from how much I’m aware of their personalities

This is the debut album from these British guys. Almost all the tracks are hard rock in my opinion. It’s fine for a debut album, although nothing here is memorable. I recall the band members getting into a lot of fights back then, but I suppose that’s not uncommon for rock bands.

Despite the charming double epistemic adverb title, I'm not that excited about another Oasis album. I feel I've already heard Oasis and therefore this album, being very similar (yet somehow louder and worse) to the last one, isn't anything I need to hear. Then again, if I were making this list, it'd be like: 10 Magnetic Fields albums, 5 Tool, 5 Placebo*, 25 musical cast recordings, 5 beethovens, and then a frantic panic to think up 950 other albums. So I guess I shouldn't be too judgmental until I make my own list of 1001 albums I like better (which will happen on its own if both I and the user album list persist long enough, anyway). Long story short I definitely maybe am not excited by this. 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' just made me want to hear 'Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk' by Rufus instead. I considered giving this a 2 because it made my ears ring, but the title saved it. *Placebo have a song called 'Plasticine', and 'Shakermaker' from this album mentions plasticine, so I finally looked it up. It's a British brand of kids' modelling clay. Never would have guessed that in a million years. Sounds like an adjective!! Anthrocene... plasticine... langoustine...

Very fun listen, captures the vibe perfectly

I was a little annoyed by this since I just got What’s the Story Morning Glory? To figure out how I felt about it, I listened to this album too. I determined that I prefer WTSMG even though it seems most people think Definitely Maybe is a more authentic sound. I actually felt kind of the opposite, that WTSMG is distinct if poppier, while Definitely Maybe is more like a Britpop type specimen. But… I like Britpop. I like this more than Pablo Honey. I find even the kinda dumb lyrics charming. “She done it with a doctor on a helicopter”? Sure, makes me smile. And the various kinds of hate Oasis gets makes me want them to give a boost because in spite of it all, I always enjoy hearing them. If we were using a different scale this might be a 4.5 or a B+ or I don’t know what, but tonight I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Brings me back to listening to new music with the football boys

That brings me back..

The experience of listening to this has made me learn that the hits on (What's The Story) Morning Glory? were its best parts. Because without them, on Definitely Maybe, I'm forced to contend with the fact that I just *don't* like how The Gallagher brothers write songs. Even when they are playing with catchy melodies, loud guitars, and other cool ideas, the resultant songs still just don't grab me. Which isn't to say this is unpleasant by any means. I just think it feels a little bland and unmemorable to me. But, even if I don't see what so many do in this, I can appreciate that people love it, I am just doomed to be left in the dust on this particular one. I wish I could tell you more, but it's confusing, almost frustrating: we have a bunch of components I like, but they just don't come together for me. I will make a special note of Live Forever and Columbia though, which actually *do* work for me, and *are* pretty great in my opinion. But I have literally no idea what sets these two apart from the rest of the songs in my mind. So I will leave you with that enigma, I guess.

Liam Gallaghers vocals don't do it for me, but the songwriting is quite special.

Not my thing, kinda forgettable.

Came into this with quite low expecations after having 'Whats The Story (Morning Glory)' as our first Oasis album on this list, which is a fantastic album. But I was quite wrong. There are a serious of real bangers on this record, like 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', 'Live Forever', and 'Supersonic'. I really liked 'Slide Away' as well, but realized the chorus sounds like a worse version of 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out', after which I changed my mind a bit. The tracks between the hits are not that impressive, but not unbearable by any means. Overall this feels like a 4 star album for me, and I was pleasantly surprised that it delivered like it did. I understand now why Oasis was so hyped back in the days.

Coming of a rant about 90s rock music I was not looking forward to this but Oasis warmed me up to them throughout the record. Their sound is super-catchy and while I don’t know too many tracks from this record I still enjoyed it. Favourite song was of course “Live Forever”. Solid 4 star. I get it.

I'd probably like it more but it wasn't the vibe I needed atm. I do like Rock n Roll star. 4/5 would need to relisten

this is pretty inoffensive but I just did not find the highs to be there in the way that they are on what’s the story morning glory.

I guess you had to be there with Oasis. They're a pleasant enough band and I tap my toe to enough of these songs that it makes for a decent listening experience but none of these songs strike me as particularly memorable 30 years on.

I will definitely maybe not listen to this album again. Except Married with Children, that slaps a bit.

Almost American flare and grit but distinctly northern English in its attitude.catchy and fun

6,82

Bon petit album de rock tout ça.

Couple of classic songs but not a classic.

Brilliant album

Great record. Memorable simple lyrics, basic instrumentation and strong voice perfected through much production delivering a record that can always be sung along to.

This was good - it actually took me a few songs to get into it. Some of the songs were a bit overlong for what they were but mostly very good and enjoyable. I don’t know how much I would return to this but I still enjoyed it.

The title is too fitting tbh.

Good god vibes, solid Oasis album. A good repertoire for a couple of pints in a rainy day

This is one of the all time classic albums ever, love it.
