I’m not a fan of Oasis so was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this by the end. Although front loaded by some of the most uninspiring rock music I’ve ever heard, something happens to this record halfway through Columbia and it becomes louder, more earnest and more interesting. Fav track: Slide Away

Eclectic in tone, amazing musicianship, frenetic and joyful. Favourite track: Sly

Sounds like a soft light and breeze coming through an open blind. Gentle and moving. So good I’m going to listen to it again now. Favourite track: Into the Mystic

Total genius with just the right level of madness. Somehow presages everything that has happened in rock music since. Favourite track: Helter Skelter

Epic and delicate at the same time. Beautiful.

There are moments I really like on this album, particularly where it becomes more melancholy and simple. However mostly this sounds like a musical, and I hate musicals.

A masterpiece that’s fun and repeat friendly is a rarity. So much to love on every track. Favourite track: After Hours

Ethereal and devastating; formed from simple parts layered to create something so atmospheric you can’t help but be consumed by it. A portal into another world. Favourite track: Pictures of You
