Why did every band want to sound like and even look like Oasis? I don't understand the writers of this book. This is so bland. You are definitely English.
OOF! No thanks. Generic, bland. Tries to do everything popular ends up sounding like nothing.
SHEIN version of Oasis. Dollar General Stone Roses. Sucked. O stars 1001 album worthy: no - 79/144
The whole genre of "Britpop" is something that I remember with certain amount of distaste (bordering on nausea) - images of Oasis toadying-up to Tony Blair and his "New Labor" cronies, who went in to instigate the deaths of 100,000 Iraqi civilians. This was , musically, a grim time for Britain and should forgotten about as much as possible. I heard nothing about it that remotely interested me, and the false cockney accent of the lead singer of Blur still haunts my worst nightmares! "Cool Britannia", indeed.
Generic, whining and boring. In other words: BritPop.
If Aerosmith grew up listening to Oasis and weren't as dedicated to their craft, this might be the junk they recorded. I swear a few of the songs were literally the same song.

This album would fit much better in a book titled 1001 albums to make you wish you could die
Soitto rullaa (klikkiin); biisit syntyvät (etukäteen omaksuttuina). En kuule erottelevia tekijöitä melkein missään. He olisivat pystyneet parempaan. 1,5
Oasis at home:
Even worse than Oasis.
Мне так понравилось, что я перестал слушать 1001, ибо это совершенно невозможно классифицировать. Я пытался выбрать хоть одну песню, которая мне запомнилась хотя бы чуть-чуть, используя все доступные мне методы, включая фол последней надежды против персонального мьюзик-крикетства - рейтинги rym. I feel so depressed I don't know what I am doing. Лучшая песня - One To Another.
Holy shit, noch so ein zu recht längst vergessenes Alternative-Brit-Pop-Band-Album aus den 90ern. Oasis und Blur reichen wohl nicht. Ist ja ok wenn der Ersteller dieser Liste seinen eigenen Musikgeschmack einfließen lässt. Aber so penetrant die Brit-Pop Bands hier breitzutreten nervt auch mal.
Somehow missed them back in the 90's and it was probably a good thing.
1. zhoez - 1.5 2. boy - 1 3. ztoriez - 1 4. another - 1 5. girl - 1 6. leave - 1 7. area 51 - 1 8. high - 1 9. teething - 1 10. get - 1 11. robz theme - 1
In a nutshell: it's a British thing. The Charlatans are one of those bands that were big in the UK but had limited success elsewhere. Think Oasis meets Blur meets Dexy's. It's different from Britpop but for me it is inessential when we have the aforementioned, Pulp and Suede. Overall: 2/10
Yep, that's some interchangeable britpop right there. Better than Oasis, but for me that's not a high bar.
I’m not surprised there’s a more talented Oasis out there, however I am surprised that there’s a more boring one.
Its not possible for me to like this album any less. 1/5
Soulless generic trash
I've listened to this album before, and I'm listening to it again, and I'll probably listen to this album again before I did for some God forsaken reason, and I don't know why. This is the kind of music that makes you think you'll never find a song you like again, an album that lacks a soul so much that you question if the forty-five minutes you sat there listening were even real. The music here is so generic, so void of life, that it has affected my very being for the worse. It isn't even necessarily bad! It is just such a homogenized glob of an album that I fail to see how this does anything for anyone. Vocals are like a dull blade, the guitars are just power chords for forty minutes, and if this album dares try anything "new," it does it in such a way where it just sounds like they took a genre and baked it into their own bland sound. There is nothing here worth listening to, and its complete lack of identity makes it more offensive to the ears than most terrible albums, because at least I have something to say about those. A waste of time, at least they had the decency to keep it under an hour.
Honestly, why is this on this list?
what BORING fucking shit. another dogshit uninspired uninteresting bland unengaging uncreative un-fucking-anything nothing dogshit braindead waste of fucking time album. its a singles album and the singles arent even fucking standout. this is like if guy ritchie went 'lets make the stinger tracks from my movies boring and fucking interesting' kill yourself british people
The entire time I was listening to this I had two major distractions. The first is the ridiculous way the keyboard player died, which I kept thinking of throughout, the second is the guy on the left of the album cover. He is menacing. He looks like he is about to mug me at a train station. Has the FASD stare. I didn’t like this. I don’t like Britpop. I gave up halfway through the album midway through the chore of a track that was you’re a big girl now. I was going to just mark this as did not listen, but I went back and listened to the tail end of the album. I’m sure you can consider this technically competent music but I do not like it. It is boring. I do not like the vocals. It is discount oasis. I am baffled why this is a MUST LISTEN. Please just let the next album be something I’m surprised by. I don’t even have to like it just make it interesting. So many random nothingburger slogs.
I found this boring, but I'm not a big fan of 90s britpop.
Starting to realize this list of 1001 albums is the reflection of some Oasis Superfan who likes shitty Brit-pop.
Nah
Sounds like Oasis. Just as boring. I don't like this at all. I would be stoked if there were no more britpop, sophisti-pop, or blue-eyed soul left on the list, but I don't think the odds are with me on this. 1.49/5
Largely forgettable vintage 90s rock band. Wont give it another listen
can't stand his whiny voice
I am not sure why I needed to listen to this. For every uninspired Oasis copycat band with a bored sounding singer, there has to be something more interesting and adventurous elsewhere. I don't know. 1001 records isn't that much when you look in the entire world of music. I had a great day listening to Mulatu Astatke instead of the Charlatans.
What. Is. The. Point.
No fresh water at this oasis
Mid ass UK garbage
MIttelmäßiger Britpop ohne irgendetwas...
Never thought I'd get listen to everyone in England that could play a guitar. But here we are with this lost. Mid range at best. A song by stone roses came on after this and it was like a breath of fresh air. I hate stone roses.
Corny album
Generic britpop. I think there was a recency bias from when the original book was published that allowed this album to make the cut.
Not a big fan of this band or album. For fans of Oasis it might be somewhat of an enjoyable album (although not quite reaching Oasis levels) but not being a fan of Oasis would make it less of a chance i would enjoy the listening experience at all. The songs are average at best as is the delivery. The album was a somewhat long and difficult listen for me. Not sure how it made the list. Best songs of the bunch: North Country Boy, One to Another.
Poor man’s Oasis. Felt like I was listening to a bunch of b-sides of better Britpop bands.
charlatans, great name nnn
This is sooo unremarkable. What justifies putting it on the list?
Woaw c'est insignifiant
Nooh 97... Sanoin että jos 2001 alle niin voi jotain tähtösiä antaa.. jahas 97.. poppia jee jee pop pop jee jee pop populäärimusiikki jes Paskat lyriikat jee jee mutta heöppo kuunella tradeoff ei mo i ymmärrä se ln art jls heöppo kuunnella.. Nih emt yklöstä öaskaahan tämä
I'm so-so on this. Kind of like a bad Oasis album.
You fucking kidding me with this?
I knew just by seeing the cover that I wouldn't like this album. Just had a feeling.
didn’t listen to all of them
Te zeurderig
Nope
A few nice riffs, some decent production. Singer's voice barely tolerable. Managed to make it to the end only by tuning out most of the songs.
Langweilig..
Ikkje ein grunnlovsdag verdig
Not really feeling the overseas brit-alt-rock
שוב לא שמעתי כמעט כלום
Sounds like a compact disc from a '90's cover band that they sold during their gigs for 5 bucks.
Oh boy, looks like some Oasis wannabe ripoff band... UPDATE: I can't finish this, this album has no ability to hold my interest. Zero stars.
kind of background music to me that didnt speak to me
Haha wat run
