cantei supersonic a plenos pulmões #sddsmtv
Slide Away is the standout here. They have many really good songs, but I fall off a bit the more they resort to cliched rock wall of sound with a Sex Pistols whine and sneer. It’s fine, but their melodies with supersonic and slide away are where they shine.
Pretty good!
Used to love this album. Brings back memories to re listen after years.
I always enjoyed Oasis, but I don't think this is their best album. It's very good though, and glad that I listened to it again.
Favorites: Bring It On Down, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Slide Away
Wow, maybe Britpop is good.
Incredibly solid album and one that I've gone back to over the years time and again. Sure it will never be Blur for me, but it's damn good.
Still a great album of my youth, I had it in my head I preferred this album due to it being a bit rawer, but listening now not as good as def maybe.
Classic!
Kocht deze CD tegelijkertijd met the Blue album van Weezer en raakte dus wat ondergesneeuwd! Jaren later viel het kwartje wel. Erger me dood aan die arrogantie, maar het is wel een te gek plaatje. Jezelf de beste band sinds The Beatles noemen gaat alleen echt VEEL te ver.
Niet hun beste plaat. Dat is wat mij betreft de opvolger. Maar nog steeds een goede tweede en wat een band, ondanks het gerollebol van de broers
More fun than I expected. Still, the nasally drone started to wear on me.
Cool album. The music is a bit on the loud side for my taste - lots of diff sounds. But overall I like it!
A certified staple of 90s britpop for sure. While I find this sound can get a bit repetitive for over 50 minutes, it's still a sound I enjoy. Favorites: Live Forever, Bring It On Down, Slide Away
1994 - Alt Rock / Brit rock
Giving Oasis the edge here in the Brit pop battle because Rock and Roll Star will always make me think of You All Everybody
These boys are more than just Wonderwall. Not much, but they are.
Pretty good. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
One of those bands that I dislike but will always scream along to. I find their singles better than the album cuts - possibly nostalgia coming into play. This album isn’t as stacked as Morning Glory but it’s hard to deny Live Forever which is such a positive song. Fave tracks: “Live Forever” “Cigarettes & Alcohol” “Rock & Roll Star”
I enjoyed it
A very good album, this is maybe the third time I've listened to it and it was the most impressive. I always was of the opinion that Blur was the superior band but this album now makes it a closer race. The album rocks and has great songs. A fine album 4 atars
Classic 90s pub Rock, from my youth
Clearly a very influential album, some classic tracks, but it's a bit too samey for me to enjoy the full run length.
Definitely definitely.....one or 2 not do good...but supersonic live forever slideaway etc
Classic album of the Britpop era. Vacillating on how many stars to give it. Although iconic, there were better bands and albums of that era imo. Saw them at Knebworth 1996, although The Prodigy blew them off the stage.
Definitely maybe a 4
A very fine debut album. Songs are good, though not quite of the caliber of morning glory. I am annoyed of their "influences" coming dangerously close to blatant rip off. Keeps it from a full blown 4 so I'm giving 3.75 🌟
Good listen. Favorite tracks are Bring it on Down and Columbia.
I could be without the first record, the two other was good.
I mean... it's good. I like better What's the story... There's a lot of similar things. I think that emotions linked to music have a lot to do with the age when we listen to it for the first time. I was a fan when I was 11 and I listened to Wonderwall for the first time. It still affects me, that song made me create a world in my head... Life is not a song, kid... Well, maybe...
Friday 17th September Listened in the car on the way to Anna Smith's wedding in Norfolk. The drawl, the bombast, it's pure rock and roll.
7/10, might bump up to an 8 on a relisten because I didn't focus during a lot of the middle section.
Like it or not I know all these songs very well. Has a good stomp Can't deny that it's a great record They do what they do very well Unashamedly what it is Simple Not a bad song on here
I enjoyed listening to this record. It was cool to see where they started and the subtle sound differences between this and their following record.
Imagino que para aquellos a quienes nos gusta el estilo de Oasis este es un gran disco, pero entiendo cómo podría parecerle monótono y hasta quizá aburrido a alguien que no. Aunque tiene canciones clásicas como Shakermaker, Live Forever y Supersonic, reconozco que escuchar el álbum completo puede ser pesado por el efecto constante de las guitarras, que está presente en todas menos la última canción (que por cierto, me gusta justo por eso). Es frecuente que se asocie a Oasis con The Beatles, creo que la influencia se nota más en "Up in the Sky" y "Cigarrettes & Alcohol", por el estilo musical y la selección de instrumentos. También el uso de la pandereta en algunas canciones abona a realizar dicha comparación.
Pure loud 90s rock, so good
Oasis is heavy enough but not too heavy. Goldilocks R&R if you will. They are sufficiently well known that most everyone will know their popular songs. I like these guys but never sat and listened through this album before. The band is tight and the guitars kick. Side 3 is my favourite starting off with the hit and then followed by Bring it on Down and Ciggs & Alch which are two really good ass kicking rock and roll songs.
Tapa llena de detalles. Album hermoso
Tering goed album, heerlijke hits als live forever en bring it on down
.
Missed the boat when these guys were at their peak as I was much more interested in the big beat electronic stuff coming out of Britain. Also Wonderwall never really did it for me so I never ever really gave them a shot. Listening now I can understand the hype and had I been 10 years older I would've been an Oasis tragic I've got no doubt. Great album. Give it a few more years and listens and I have no doubts it'll be 5 stars by then.
Nice easy listening. Wonderwall gives you a bad idea of what this band can do.
Good 90's rock. Wonderwall? Never head of 'em.
I enjoyed it
Pretty good album. I enjoyed most of the tracks though none of them really stood out to me. If someone were to play this at a party or something like that I wouldn’t mind.
Definitely Maybe est une réussite, qu'on se le dise. Les frères Noel et Liam Payne ont du talent, c'est indéniable. Mais je ne serais pas franc avec vous si je vous cachais que je m'étais endormi après trois chansons lors de ma première écoute. En effet, ma routine matinale fait que ce genre de mésaventure peut arriver. Après chaque réveil, je me dirige sans tarder à la douche et, après l'avoir prise, retourne dans mon lit pour y sécher ma barbe. Il m'arrive alors de lancer l'album du jour, pensant naïvement que je ne me rendormirais pas. Et c'est pourtant ce qui se passe à chaque fois. À suivre...
Lo amo con todo mi corazón, me recuerda cosas buenas, cosas malas, cosas hermosas y así
yes the gallagher brother share one brain cell & yes i am a fan of what that brain cell produces. sue me! rock 'n' roll star, live forever, columbia, bring it on down
Does liking Oasis make me basic? Probably. There are too many bangers to ignore on this though
Schon ein super Album!
Evidemment de tres bonne qualité, même si ça vaut pas leur top album Elvis Costello ne croit pas que je t'ai oublié, je viens de me taper Armed Forces juste avant c'est de la grosse merde, sans compter les insultes répétees à l'encontre du pourtant fort sympathique Ray Charles qui ne finit depuis plus son assiette
Enthused about this in 1994 and still enjoy the songs today. Energy, humour, melodies and hooks. good songwriting.
Enjoy the classic/soft rock kinda vibes. Will definitely listen to this again.
Slide away rock n roll star cigarettes and alcohol
Very good memories.
Good album with some classics and some poor tracks that just plod along. Enjoyed listening
A brilliant debut - not quite the full five for me
Not a massive Oasis fan but this is a good album and easy listening
One of the better 4. I am excited for their next albums, because this has some potential. So far I prefer Oasis over Blur.
Goeie Britpop, maar op den duur veel van hetzelfde
.
Good album. I think this band might become big one day.
Rocks pretty hard. Love the guitar.
I still really like it, got a good swagger about it and definitely their best album. B sides good too. Marked it down for the terrible lyrics in places and the numerous rip offs
Lo disfrute bastante. 90s Beatles 2.0 con un toque de punk deslactosado light. Nunca había escuchado un disco de Oasis completo por alguna razón. Los efectos de las guitarras dan un poco el efecto de que todo el disco es una canción larga y eso tanto es bueno porque le da una vibra edgy cool (sobre todo muy disfritables en los riffs de "Columbia"), como puede llegar a cansar un poco, pero aun así creo que suena bastante cool en su propio derecho britpopiano. Mi canción favorita: Live Forever me parece lo suficientemente pegajosa para volver a escuchar y seguramente fue uno de los singles, siento que tal vez ya la había escuchado. lol. Mood: checando ropa barata en Candem Town con un filtro noventero de lofi y probablemente planeando ir a drogarme en un depa viejo, caro y sin muebles al este de Londres.
Very ‘90s and not necessarily in a bad way
I like this album
Rock and Roll Star still slaps.
La playsist qui ne finissait plus de finir! Une chance que j'aime ça! J'ai réalisé qu'à part Wonderwall, je ne connaisais pas grand chose d'autre de ce groupe. J'aime bien la sonorité
Da buen rollo.
This is, oddly, the album I most enjoyed so far.
1994, britpop, rock, übel starkes album, paar harte banger dabei, oasis vielleicht die beste band alter, starke 4
Great album. I love the flow from beginning to end, a well done group of songs in tribute to the golden 60s British bands and their sound. I enjoyed it and expect myself to further explore Oasis.
So there’s significantly more to Oasis than “Wonderwall”.... very cool Favorite Tracks: “Supersonic” and “Married With Children”
I’ve never given Oasis a fair chance due to the major meme that is Wonderwall. However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the delightful Britpop on this album.
I never gave Oasis a chance in the 90s. This was better than I was expecting. Solid 4.
Nice.
Great album, quintessential to that post grunge, mid-nineties alternative rock. Standout tracks are Live Forever, Supersonic, Bring It On Down, and Rock ‘n’ Roll Star
Klassisk britpop. Många bangers. Supersonic bl.a.
Man, this is a good album. Oasis are like the best example of 90s/00s Brit-Alt.
Wonderwall
V enjoyable throwback listen
Great album overall, there weren't any songs standing out particularly but it is a well put together album that, as their debut album, laid the foundations for a great career
3.5 hours! Enjoyed the main tracks, will listen to the live versions etc. another time
Yep, that's Oasis. Always manages to reflect their obvious Beatles influence with a way more sardonic twist. Never actually listened to this (Just (WTS)MG), but it's probably just as good as that record. Favorite tracks: "Live Forever", "Supersonic", "Married With Children"
Honestly liked this more than I thought I would! Nice to recognize a few songs as well.
définitivement un peut-être
Wasn't feeling it 3/5
It was definitely maybe ok. I can't stop thinking about the documentary, when noel finds out his brother is in a band, as the singer, his reaction was "but Liam can't even sing". He was definitely right about that and it is the biggest problem with this album
The Gallaghers are too into themselves and even this early in their career it shows through some. It’s a solid album though and you can see why it went to their heads. A solid 3 for me that almost leans toward a 4 but doesn’t have quite enough to make it stand out.
another artist ive never really sat down and listened to, although in this case it's mostly cos i just don't really care much for britpop. for britpop, this is pretty good! but it's still britpop.... the first couple tracks are good, especially "rock 'n' roll star", but theres only so much weight that great washy guitar sound can hold before it's overpowered by how much i dislike the vocals. idk what it is about them, it's definitely not the accent, but something about the way he sings combined with the pretty mid lyrics just irritates me. almost like it amplifies how nothing the lyrics are sometimes. idk.... it'd definitely be stronger as an instrumental album imo. overall.... i really wish i was listening to blur right now.
Look I respect oasis immensely but I’m on team blur. This is good album don’t get be wrong, but it’s not my favorite oasis and it’s not super duper groundbreaking to me. Married with children still rules however. My big complaint is that this album is LOUD. The songs aren’t bad, but it almost hurts at points. The ending of slide away is so good and rewarding but by the time you get to it while listening to the album straight through, you almost have a headache. I know that’s also kinda their thing, but this album doesn’t earn it as much as their next would in my opinion.
good but also not rlly but good
Listened before? Yes Thoughts: - Not the best or my favorite Oasis album, but still pretty good. - A lot of the songs feel a bit too similar for me. I think it's more due to the production or mixing than the songs themselves though. - I listened to a deluxe edition and have to say I enjoyed some of the bonus tracks / demos more than some of the album tracks (Sad Song is great). Favorite track(s): Live Forever, Married With Children
Fav: Live Forever L: Slide Away 2.5 For the most part just felt like a bunch of noise. Maybe it’s because I listened to it on a plane but everything blended together in a monotonous way. Cover: 3.5 Name: 3 Minecraft Parody: Mining with Herobrine (Married with Children)
They were supposed to be the new Beatles, and indeed, at times they do bear a resemblance.
better then expected, still not that good
A good debut album from Oasis. I owned and was well familiar with their following album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, and was happy for the opportunity to explore the band more.
People say Oasis ripped off The Beatles, but this kind of sounds like Oasis ripping off themselves. Not necessarily in a bad way, though. I see why they're so popular in England. Thumbs up.
God I loathe this band. Their music isn't so bad. But the Gallagher brothers are miserable and narcissistic twats. I much prefer the Gallagher brothers in the NWOBHM metal band Raven. Their obnoxiousness aside, it's a fair album. 2.5/5 rounded to 3. You're welcome, twats!
Persönliche Beobachtungen: Ich glaube, ich habe noch nie ein ganzes Oasis Album gehört. Außerdem weiß ich nicht, ob ich Oasis unironisch ohne indi-Party noch hören kann, ohne die Verachtung für die Soloalbum-mathias-Schweighöfers-Indi-Party-Oasis-Tshirt-träger-RollingStone-Leser/Schreiber-Boys mit in die Bewertung mit einfließen zu lassen. But i try! (Weil ich noch nie ein ganzes Album am Stück gehört habe, kann ich nicht sagen, wo definitely maybe im Oasis oevre einen Platz findet. Es wird also in seiner Singularität betrachtet. Ich höre es während ich im Bus von Bottrop nach Gelsenkirchen auf der A42 fahre.) Stray observations: funktioniert gut, um aus dem Fenster zu schauen bei der Fahrt. Albumname 10/10 "Live forever" könnte auch von den sugerbabes sein (verstehe endlich warum es Brit Pop heißt. Es ist krass poppig. 🫣) Tempiwechsel und langgezogenen sehr hoch gesungene Wortenden sind abwechslungsreich für genau 3 Lieder. Zum erstenmal auf den Text von "Supersonic" geachtet. Verstehe warum "Cigaretts und Alkohol" ne Indi-boy-Hymne ist. "Slide away" macht ganz viel richtig, um das "Liebeslied" auf dem Album zu sein. Ganz viel Pathos und Gefühl, aber dann wiederholt er den Refrain so oft, dass es mich aus der Stimmung holt. Schade. Digsy's Dinner macht gute Laune . Musikalisch. Hab nicht auf den Text geachtet. Ansonsten hatte ich ne gute Busfahrt. Aber wäre das das Album gewesen, was mir jemand gezeigt hätte, um zu beweisen, dass der Hype berechtigt ist, wäre ich unterwältigt gewesen.
Bit samesy
Oasis is pretty damn good. Although not their best work, in 1994 this was needed and it lays a great foundation for what we know is to come.
Found this album grating at the start and the it got a bit better towards the end. It's a solid album but nowhere near the masterpiece that it is for so many other people. I much preferred What's The Story to this one. Favourites: Bring It On Down Married With Children
Easy 3.5 Stars. Decent album indeed.
Feels kinda samey but it was a blast. 3/5.
I like it but it feels a little paint by numbers. The songs rip but I think they’re just following the template of how to make a song that rips. My second thought is that Oasis seems to be the soundtrack of being a rebellious teenager in the 90s. I was born in the 90s so I kind of missed that moment.
Definitely!
Prima
The entire soundtrack wasn’t bad - can’t really think of any particular track on herethat spoke to me and gave me the feeling to immediately replay it, but it’s mellow enough to be a road trip jam.
Ist okay. Gibt ein paar gute Songs, aber ich muss dafür in der Stimmung sein.
Anyways, here's a better song than Wonderwall
I'm glad the dudes in this band are friends again.
There's not enough on here for me to be excited about. The chart hits just about save it.
Todo bien pero es como que no me matan 3/5
Extremely mid. Could've been a 2/5 with how useless most of these songs sound, but the last four tracks are on the better side of mid.
A good album.
good maar het s echt zelfde soort muziek over en over
A few decent tracks but it pales in comparison to their next album
Good. Phaser music. Didn't finish can't review.
not exactly my cup of tea but i’ll take sips
Definitely Oasis
Oasis is my favorite of the 90's British Invasion bands. I love when British singers have strong British accents when they sing. This album didn't have my favorite Oasis song on it (Don't Look Back in Anger), but I knew three songs on this album (Shakermaker, Live Forever, and Supersonic). I enjoyed this.
*A fine rock album but it didn’t get me into Oasis
Oasis har mange crimes to answer for, men deres albums i sig selv er helt ok. Jeg kunne bedre lide den anden vi havde med dem
JL : 3, Slide Away
It's good! Not as good as the follow up, but a great debut.
Now that I've heard the two big Oasis' album, I can confidently say that their sound isn't interesting to me. Only thing I got from this album are a couple of tracks having a nice energy ("Rock 'n' Roll Star" and "Bring It on Down") and the occasional catchy melodies which I don't think are that memorable. On top of that, the songs from "Shakermaker" to "Columbia", and "Slide Away" too, felt long and derivative. In addition, in the song "Cigarettes & Alcohol" Liam does this super accentuated "i" in the words "imaginat-i-on", "act-i-on" and "sunsh-i-ne" (to name a few examples) that sounds kind of irritating. So overall, I think it is a passable album. Nothing here really impacted me neither is that tedious to give it a bad score.
Pretty good! No "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" though.
This is Oasis' first album released in 1994. They are a straightforward stadium rock britpop band with simple songs / chord progressions and a great singer. Overall I like their sound although at times the guitar sounds are a bit too distorted creating a washed out sound. I like Live Forever and Supersonic but I found myself losing interest listening to the entire album. The songs are just too similar. They're good but in the debate about Oasis vs. Blur, I'll take Blur.
definitely maybe a 3 - for their talent - but their arrogance and shite behavior eclipses any tunes I may have liked - at any rate, their snarly, whiny sound was never for me, I never really dug them much - talented? Yes, but sometimes that counts less - look up Jovanotti, beloved Italian pop star who is a horrible singer, but his 30+yr career? The music and his personality make him irresistable.
This band and this album aim high but ultimately miss the mark. Liam‘s vocals are too whiny and the layering of guitars in the production results in cacophony which dominates the sound and makes this borderline unlistenable. Still, there are some pretty cool rock ‘n’ roll moments. Up in the Sky is where the album takes off and lands after Supersonic.
This has a swagger to it. A slow rocking of the hips back-and-forth with each long stride forward. It conveys a level of confidence, but almost feels that it’s either making up for the lack there of, or a hidden level that elevated. Not sure which.
Maybe... I would say 60 million can't be wrong as the whole of the UK flocked to celebrate 30 years with this band last summer. They seemed to be having a great time. But they are also responsible for Love Island, OG tabloid culture, Benny Hill and The Battle of Isandlwana.
Sounds a lot like What’s the Story, Morning Glory? but without the hits. Not a bad album by any means, and great for an early album from a band, it just doesn’t automatically make me want to come back for more.

Mid and British... Not for Me Went into this one knowing I wasn't into British pop, and this album didn't change my mind. The voice is a bit grating. I can totally see how this can be really enjoyable for some people, but it's just not my style. The songs are catchy and punchy... they do their job, but I find a lot of it boring. "From the opening track, they commit to this sound of blurry rock and roll and essentially hold that same note until the end of the album." Well-put fellow reviewer. "Rock 'n' Roll Star" - 5/10 "Shakermaker" - 4-5/10 "Live Forever" - 5-6/10 "Up in the Sky" - 4-5/10 "Columbia" - 4-5/10 "Supersonic" - 4-5/10 "Bring It On Down" - 6-7/10. Actually the only one I kind of like because it leans more into the rock side of things. "Cigarettes & Alcohol" - 5/10 "Digsy's Dinner" - 4-5/10 "Slide Away" - 5/10. Very wall of sound-ish. "Married With Children" - 5-6/10 Final Verdict: I find this album mid. Don't like Liam's voice. This album doesn't even have the hits. It's a solid 6/10 for me... not terrible, not great, just kinda there. Rating: 6/10
One of the those bands that provides catchy anthemic sing alongs. Not very original and you can identify a lot of the riffs that have been ripped off but entertaining nonetheless
I don't think I'd ever listened to this before. I owned a copy of What's The Story Morning Glory and listened to it quite a bit, but for some reason never went back to play this one. In comparison I definitely enjoy the other one more, as it has more variety to it, but this was pretty decent as well. The song I mostly enjoyed was Live Forever, but Columbia, Supersonic, and Slide Away were very good too. I gave Morning Glory four stars, and if 3.5 were available that's what this would get. I'll decide if it's three or four tomorrow morning.
Anyone else made this would get a higher score. Twats
Nurrrrnurrr nirrrrr rock and roll bit boring not my vibe but i liked a couple
I find this album surprisingly mid... from the opening track they commit to a sound of blurry rock and roll and essentially hold that same note until the end of the album. It makes sense to me this had wide appeal, its just edgy enough to appeal to the pre-teens but stays in the box enough for the adult contemporary crowd. I think by What's the Story Morning Glory they allowed just a bit more experimentation and songwriting integrity to produce a much better record. This feels totally fine but easily forgettable.
i liked it a good amount, kinda one note but enjoyable. my fav was married with children and i wish there was more of that vibe
I liked listening to the album, but nothing really stuck out to me about it. Feels more like background music right now.
Fine.
This album was a big part of my life when it came out…. It’s still good albeit something I just don’t look listen to anymore so good to revisit. Columbia is a belter.
Didn't we do this one already? The nature of Oasis is that it just feels like we did. But, really, I like this one better than "What's the Story". Something edgier, leaner, hungrier, even as they establish the cock-swinging rock star brash arrogant DNA of their run.
5/10
Ah. Knew it was coming. Let’s see. Yeah. This one is hard to rate. Oasis was never “my thing.” Partly, I believe I am on the wrong side of the Atlantic. I bounce between enjoying them and finding them annoying. But their songwriting is solid. And sometimes surprising. So 3 or 4? I think this album is rawer than What’s the Story, and I appreciate that. But What’s the Story has the hits. And so much, I am realizing, often boils down to familiarity and nostalgia. So yeah. Oasis is really a 3 for me. And we’ll see if What’s the Story gets bumped to a 4. 3 Boolean: True
I feel like it was nothing special, sounds kinda generic. Only 2 songs stood out to me on first listen. Favorite track(s) Live Forever Slide awat
Mmmm un poco aburrido, pero tiene temones y Oasis en general está bien.
not really my taste but still pretty good
It wasn’t actively terrible, but sort of boring. Not bad enough for two stars, but I didn’t particularly like it.
Es hat Wucht und Attitüde, aber viele Songs verschwimmen im dichten, matschigen Sound. Man hört das Potenzial, doch das Debüt bleibt eher ein Versprechen als ein Volltreffer.
Este álbum tiene un punto más crudo que el What's The Story. Y hasta meten ciertos pasajes de psicodelia que luego en el siguiente sacrificaron por la canción pegadiza y mas hitera. Ambos funcionan a su manera. A nivel estructura de álbum lo siento un toque más previsible. 7/10
Guitar riffs are really good but also forms into this dragged out stadium anthem rock sound which is repetitive, vocals are comically bad but I will give em theres some decent vocal melodies and the last song is aight. They use a piano once so bonus points ig. Not the best oasis album imo
I absolutely sorta like this. In all honestly though it’s underwhelming particularly relative to its legacy
Oasis is one of those bands I'll just never be able to get into. I'm not a huge fan of '90s Britpop to begin with, and Oasis is definitely the poster child of that scene and era. I think what it really comes down to is Liam Gallagher's style of singing. To me, he just sounds like he's whining, and that's always been the biggest thing that's turned me off. It doesn't just stop with Oasis either, it seems to be a pretty common characteristic of Britpop as a whole. Now on the flip side, I will give the music and instrumentation credit for having some catchy moments that did hook me on occasion. Despite this being a commercial album, it does have a slightly raw edge that almost gives it a 90s indie feel.
It was a good album. A few more bangers would have been nice
This is the best Oasis album I’ve heard. Heavier on the music, the vocals sit back in the mix. Maybe I’m getting soft, but i could see playing this voluntarily. I’ll need to listen to it again. A 3, but could be a 4. [Nope, I listened to it again… a 3 is as high as I’ll go. But i do appreciate this album & have renewed respect for the band]
eh. da je nešto posebno, stvarno nije. slušao sa slušalicama i mislim da bolje odgovara pozadini jer je zvukovno bezvezno. braća iz benda opako mi idu na kurac kao građanske osobe, al nemam sad nešto pretjerano protiv njihove glazbe. solidni glazbeni prosjek koji mi načelno nije bio loš i nije mi smetao, pa evo trojke
Bara fínasta fínt. Get ekki alveg farið í fjórar stjörnurnar samt.
Honestly I was expecting this to be better. The first half of the album is very generic and only picks up from Supersonic onwards.
Back in the 90s I was on a junior programmer on a work road trip with my boss at the time - a lovely posh, tweedy lady of a certain age - when Cigarettes & Alcohol came on the radio. “Oooh - I like this one, reminds of the music I used to listen to when I was your age”. I’m not saying this is a bad album, but I have a slight contrarian tendency to avoid things that are popular without any particular reason. This definitely caught the public imagination during the height of Britpop, along with the media hyped rivalry between Blur and Oasis - for the record, I was a Pulp fan mainly because they counted as a local Sheffield band for me. Listening back to this now I enjoyed bits of it more than I thought I might. However, as the saying goes, this album is both good and original. Unfortunately the parts that are good aren’t original and vice versa. It definitely captures the feeling of a live performance but apparently the recording process was anything but spontaneous. I also can’t quite get past the faux laddishness and Liam’s nasal Manc drawl that turns the word sunshine into “sun-sheeee-ine” Oh well, after all it’s just rock ’n’ roll.
There’s some great songs, but a lot of it sounds so similar you can’t tell them apart
The songs were good but they straight burnt my ears off of my head with the guitar tones
Eh. It's fine. Decent 90s Brit-pop, but lacking the catchiness of What's the Story Morning Glory?
stock standard 90’s alternative rock. a good introduction to the band and their sound.
Great rock n roll
뭐라 쓰지
ummm obviously there's a few good songs but i think this album is a random noise, not even a random sound. it's bad.
The title of this album perfectly encapsulates my relationship with this band. I am caught between lauding them and dismissing them. It's not a question of talent, which is clearly there; it's more a question of whether that talent is used to take me anywhere I care to go. I enjoy a good rock'n'roll record, so I find myself enjoying this enough. But after multiple listens I find I can only give them a strong 3/5, a strong "definitely maybe."
When Oasis hit the scene, there were lots of Beatles comparisons. This seemed odd to me because the comparisons had mostly to do with popularity over music. While there are chord progressions and arrangements that may be Beatlesque, I find this whole thing odd. The Beatles were always known for their incredible harmonies (especially considering the different vocal sounds of Paul and John). Oasis sounds nasally and winey. Don't get me wrong, there are some catchy tunes, talent, presence, and impact here that are good. But it really does come off as a definite maybe.
Hmm chill and american sounding!
Made me feel like an angsty 90s teen. Didn’t love it but didn’t hate it. Anyway… here’s Wonderwall 3/5 ⭐️
Cheeky little classic this one
anyway here's...wait...no wonderwall on this???? oh no Actually, I find the lead singer's voice super annoying and I hate the way he sounds. If I could separate the voice from the songs, I think they're be great but good lord it's really irritating to me, like he's so whiny sounding. Maybe it's because he's british???? maybe that's the real reason the band broke up tbh i wouldn't rule it out
la verdad que este disco tiene TEMONES. como no supe apreciarlos antes
I smile, yes!!!
I don't know any of their music other than wonderwall. it was fine.
In the spite of as much Britpop as there can be contained in this assortment of albums, I would say that this one could best exemplify this era in music. While lacking the hits that their follow-up had, it does however provide a more authentic sound that I believe makes the album more important in the history of music. 8/10 [KEEP]
A lot of song elements remind me of the Beatles, actually. You'd never guess that if Wonderwall was the extent of it.
Another album deserving of a 3.5, solid listen
Good album, just not the biggest Oasis fan.
did they cook? i cant understand them
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 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
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'.
Listened
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.
Blah blah blah Oasis blah blah
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.
Not my cup of tea, but ok.
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.
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".
Britpop unfortunately extremely catchy.
Did not listen
Signature rock and vocals.
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 :)))
é um album bom, nada mais a dizer
prefiro blur 😋
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.
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.
Meh, it was ok I guess.
Ok, I can kinda see why people like Oasis
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.
'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?.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Love Married with children, everything is mid
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.
nudne
Middle of the road album for me.
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.
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.
What's the Story Morning Glory is definitely the better album.
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.
I like Oasis. Decent album
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
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
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
Still the best Beatle knock-off band out there.
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.
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
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.
I’ve never really gotten the Oasis hype. But they might be growing on me. This is decent.
I'm not a big fan of rock but I gotta admit this album was nice
it aight
Never been much of a fan.
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.
Great album
good but was not mindblown, but maybe my app couldnt play to all the songs since i dont have spotify premium
Very little offended me. Very little surprised or delighted me. Columbia seems like a poor man’s Three Strange Days.
Just not my thing. Objectively, but not subjectively good?
I like some songs. Extra point for city fans
Pretty okay album, not really an Oasis guy but Shakermaker was really good.
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
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.
La la la pew pew pew
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.
возможно нужно сконцентрированно послушать, а возможно и раз меня на фоне не впечатлило, то и так тоже
A cool and decent album. Liked a few songs, but it’s too monotonous for me
Maybe... definitely. What I heard is not what I hear. It keeps me up at night.
oasis no interpela,solo acompaña
3,9/5
Solid listen for a debut album. Few standouts, but few bad songs.
A few very very nice songs. Many not bad, but didn’t excite me as much
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.
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
it's a great album worth listening!!!
higher 3 for sure
Not my cup of tea but i can see the appeal
Wow. I was surprised by this. For all the Oasis haters, and me really only knowing Champaign Supernova, I was like they aren't worth my time checking out. But I'll tell you what, u thought this album was pretty decent! Good guitar tracks, nice bass, unique singing, mediocre at best drums. But it was a good listen.
Not very in depth but I liked it. Good alblum wouldn't binge listen to more than one alblum though
Chill vibes
Not bad.
Very medium
Decent album, not my favorite genre but enjoyed the listen
Have this on CD from back in high school. Notable for me in past 1994 lists. Have revisited Morning Glory more than this one in recent years. Rock n Roll Star is a strong start. I remember why this hit hard in the early 2000s when so much of my music taste was shaped by the 90s. Shakermaker is great! I forgot about this track. Gonna start a playlist of tracks that stick out from this listening journey. Live Forever brings back fun Rock Band memories. Each song here really is rollicking and infectious. What a strong debut record! At the same time, not something I would revisit top to bottom unless in a very specific context. Feels much more like something to play in the background for a 90s vibe than something to really spend time with and engage with deeply. Once you're halfway through the record, it feels a little repetitive. Cigarettes & Alcohol more annoying than I remember. Married With Children still great!
Live Forever // SuperSonic // Bring It On Down // Slide Away // 3.5/5
Great! I don't know that there are individual songs that stand out as much as some of the hits from Morning Glory but I think I liked listening to this album straight through more than I do Morning Glory.
I had nearly forgotten about this album because Oasis started to exist for me on their second album, as I imagine the case is for a lot of non-brits. I can say that their sound barely evolved from this, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. They captured a particular indie sound and vocal styling from the very beginning and I feel that barely deviating from that was ultimately a good thing for their career. I actually think their cover of the Stones "Cigarettes and Alcohol" might be better than the original, but I hate the Rolling Stones so maybe that's not as high praise as it sounds. Other than that, Supersonic might be my favorite. The lyrics in all of this are mostly irrelevant and there's no heartbreaking or hard partying stuff in any of this. It's not just far enough away from sounding bland that it has staying power. I dunno, I wasn't super impressed but I've never been super impressed by Oasis.
c’est un peu 10 fois de suite la même chanson mais c’est une super chanson
L'archétype de la poprock anglaise ? S'écoute sans y penser, sans s'y arrêter.
Oasis 1. I don’t like it. It reminds me of something an indie band would play in a movie. Not a fan. What I’m saying is it sounds like stock music. 2. I don’t care for it. Bad repetition. I actually do like the lyrics of the verses though. 3. I like this song. It reminds me of wonderwall but I don’t really like how they both have the screaming but maybe. I really like the lyrics and the singing in this song though. Definitely a banger. Wonderwall is by the same people btw. I like the way he says foreverrrrr. 4. I don’t like the lyrics where he asks how does it feel when you’re inside me then talks about feeling you inside me. Idk weird song it makes me uncomfy. 5. I liked it. It’s wee woo wee woo. It’s good I like the rhythm. I like the ending in correspondence to the first verse. 6. I like the rhymes its pretty good but the instrumental is not that interesting 7. Meh it was not really that good. I didnt like it. 8. Booooo meh too much repetition not good 9. Weird song about suduction with lasagna. Bu has 10. I really like this song it’s pretty fire. I like the beat and rhythm a lot. 11. I like this song. it’s chill.
I read the reviews before I listened, so my expectations may have been too high. I thought it was ok. Not really sure if I would listen to it again.
most of those songs same the sound as each other but the ones that are good are really catchy. really god awful voice though, not sure i'll ever get over that part. Fav tracks: Supersonic, Married With Children
Just an ok album.
I honestly don’t know how I feel about this. It’s mildly nostalgic for me, The brothers, as humans, irritate me, and their musical talent isn’t all there, but I can’t bring myself to hate it too much.
calm and chill
fuckin poethic
