(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Firstly, what an opening to an album, instantly you are sucked in to the rock n roll. Not going to lie, I’ve only heard a few Oasis songs before this (I do roll my eyes at Wonderwall, sorry it’s a good song it’s just overplayed and straight men may have ruined it for me), but this album did make me see the hype. A true 90s Britpop album, I love the calm, cool and collected voice and vibe of Oasis. A song highlight Some Might Say. Some of the songs drag on, but still a great album and I so get why it’s essential listening!

2.2/chappell did it better. anyway, here's wonderwall

I wasn't a huge fan of Definitely Maybe. (What's The Story) Morning Glory is supposedly the 'pinnacle' of Oasis. Pitchfork: 8.9 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #157 Best Songs Wonderwall Don't Look Back In Anger Champagne Supernova

I liked the couple of iconic songs on there.

Trying not to overthink it, but this band doesn’t make any sense. Apart from the cliche that they want to be the Beatles and the Sex Pistols at the same time. But do neither. Sonically a bit of a mess. Lyrically awful. One or two redeeming moments and a bit of nostalgia.

2 never noticed how dull this album was until now . wonderwall and champagne supernova are ok, i suppose .

Two Oasis albums in a row… why would you do that to me

This is a tough grade, I was really torn between 2 and 3. The best Oasis hits are here (Wonderwall and Champagne Suprenova are underrated), but the filler is rough, just a lot of noise.

A slight improvement on their previous album... but still a no for me. It’s pleasant enough to listen as background music, but I can’t help but feel these guys just thought « Hey, let’s redo the Beatles for a modern audience ! » and called it a day. It’s bland pop-rock tailored for radio stations, derivative to the point of feeling like plagiarism. And what’s with the murky sound ? You’d think after the success of their first album they’d have invested in better production. Or maybe they drank their previous earnings at the local pub. I’ll be generous and give it a 2* out of misguided nostalgia (« Wonderwall » was constantly playing everywhere in 1995, so it does bring out memories), but it probably deserves less.

Ok, lite långrandig

A few very good songs but not a good record. I find the mid temp rock pretty bland. There is much better Brit pop.

A bunch of whiny Mancunian nonsense

lo bueno de si te gusta oasis es que te gustan todas

Maybe, sooner or later, I'll be able to figure out what drives so many people crazy about Oasis.

Another one which is hard to rate because it’s so deep in the consciousness. I was quite excited by Oasis when they first appeared but I hated what they turned into…

Just not for me. I do not care for Oasis.

Having spent many years listening to emo I will never again take shit from people about how I enjoy bands where the singers have terrible whiny voices. At least those singers actually have emotion in their voice and aren't holding everything at an arms-length irony barrier like Liam Gallagher is - and everyone loves Oasis!! I honestly don't mind the songwriting and the melodies are great but I can't get past the personalities. The production doesn't help either - guitars are shoegazey but mixed into this far back wall of sound approach where you can't pick any instruments out of it.

So anyway, here's Wonderwall

4/10

Mediocre. Too mediocre, it's boring. White noise would be better cause they are less noisy.

I've never liked this album, but wanted to give it the old college try again. Same feelings, it's an overally loud album and nothing interesting happens in it's duration. Songs are overly long.

Ok but I'd never listen on purpose. Best track - Champagne Supernova

Meh

When I say that I remain skeptical of Brit-pop, albums like this are why. (What's The Story) Morning Glory is one of the most acclaimed albums in the Brit-Pop space, one of the best selling as well, and it's an absolute hit parade too. However, I just don't really like this album. Oasis' game here seems to be simple, elegant pop song writing, with a massive chorus on every song. For me, the problem here is that by swinging for the fences every time, Oasis often misses. A lot of these songs seem engineered to be the most effective arena rock songs possible, but it feels like Oasis doesn't earn a lot of these choruses. On the other couple of Britpop albums I've heard through this project, there were always some surprising little detours to expand their sound, but there really isn't much that surprised me here at all. I'd like to note that this approach to songwriting isn't intrinsically bad for me, but there really isn't anything about Oasis that sells me on it here. There isn't anything exceptional to me about the singing here, or the playing for that matter. There isn't much of an exciting rock edge here, but Oasis also doesn't sell me on the melodicism here. There weren't really any lyrics that stand out to me, and I don't really find the Gallaghers to be compelling figures either. There just isn't anything I find really interesting about Oasis' sound to sell these huge songs. I will say, there are a couple of songs that help out quite a bit here, but first I would like to briefly acknowledge Wonderwall. Wonderwall is kind of a fine song at the end of the day, but it may be in the running for the most played out singular song on the entire list. If not for this list, I could have probably gone the rest of my life without intentionally listening to this song. With that out of the way, let's discuss some positives. Hello and Morning Glory are both songs with some fun, driving energy and end up pretty decent and help give the project some momentum. Don't Look Back In Anger is one of the only choruses here that I really buy into, it kinda hits. Also, Champagne Supernova highlights one of the merits to this songwriting style. Despite being 7 minutes long, it feels as brisk as anything else here as it builds from chorus to chorus, it helps that this song has some of the best melodies here. However these songs can only help so much, and I still feel that a 2 is appropriate here.

Better than the first one, slightly nostalgic for the Oregon trail generation, but ultimately a lot of meh.

Wonderwall first thing on a Monday morning. Thanks.

Like kje Oasis :(

Probably one of the most overrated bands around. Boring

Before I head into this album I must profess that while I try to keep my listens and reviews as fair and unbiased as possible I have my limits. I dislike Oasis immensely. The Ghallagers are generationally unlikable, and their many public feuds remain an embarrassment to popular music. Add their pending completely transparent cashgrab of a reunion tour and you have one of the most annoying bands to ever exist, and that's before we even get to their music. Musically, well as far as I'm concerned they're nothing special, just loud and annoying. After getting that out of the way it's time for the actual listen. Gonna try to be fair. My expectations for this listen are low. At least I know there's one song on here that's sort of listenable. Hello I hate this production style. Everything just meshes into a compressed, lifeless blob. Horribly whiny delivery. There are some catchy melodies in there. I kinda like the idea behind the subtle vocal echo. Horribly screechy guitar. Dislike. 2/5 Roll With It Lifeless. The chorus is kinda catchy I suppose, though it hardly comes through when delivered so off-puttingly. The production still stinks. Peters out into an unfocused, uninteresting mess. Strongly Dislike. 1.5/5 Wonderwall Plague upon society. It's at least memorable I guess. Holy hell it's obnoxious though. Gave us some great youtube edits however, and that's gotta count for something. The whinyness isn't THAT bad on this track. The lyrics are a bit sweet, though quite nonesensical too. Every part of this song is iconic in some way. I get some ironic enjoyment out of it at least, so I cannot say it's terrible. Fine I guess. 3/5 Don't Look Back In Anger Really like the melody of the verse. Has some fun lyrical imagery. Great structure to start. Fantastic buildup to an absolute belter of a chorus. Decent delivery as well. Love the background guitar. However as repetitive as it is, they know what a great chorus they have so of course they're gonna milk it to it's fullest. Fun solo. Still quite annoying, and the production remains obnoxious as hell. Decent. 3.5/5 Hey Now! Forgettable. Has every issue previously discussed from this album, but also manages to achieve being boring as hell. Phoned in guitar solo. Headache inducing. Never ends. A bad day to have ears. 1/5 The Swamp Song - Version 1 Half a bonus point for having no Gallagher belting over it. Another half a bonus point for being less than a minute long. Average. 2.5/5 Some Might Say Grating on the ears. Ok vocal melody on the verse. Alright chorus. Terrible lyrics, cringeworthy. Repetitive, annoying, overstays its welcome. Strongly dislike. 1.5/5 Cast No Shadow I kinda appreciate the added instrumental elements, it's a nice break from the monotony. The slow tempo doesn't do it that many favours. Does not have the storytelling qualities or the vocal performance to keep it interesting. Repetitive, though not unpleasant. Just a bit boring. Strongly dislike the backing vocals. Average. 2.5/5 She's Electric Fun instrumental. The lyrics are strange, but kinda charming I guess. Weak chorus. The vocals are especially grating towards the end. Average. 2.5/5 Morning Glory Horrible guitar intro. Is it supposed to sound like air raid sirens? Decent bassline. Has all the great qualities a great alarm tune, even screams "wake up" if you're confused about what you're supposed to be doing. I'd definitely wake up from it. Unpleasant in every concievable way. Torturous. 1/5 The Swamp Song - Version 2 Half a bonus point for having no Gallagher belting over it. Another half a bonus point for being less than a minute long. Average. 2.5/5 Champagne Supernova Plague upon society. Nonesensical lyrics. Annoying song structure. Endlessly repetitive. Draining. The worst offender when it comes to this particular style of production. Just sounds so homogenous and overbearing. Never fucking ends does it? Shitshow. 1/5 Yeah that was pretty miserable not gonna lie. It's not the worst thing ever recorded, but it did leave me with a headache. I've been banging on about everything I don't like for so long that repeating it would be redundant. So here's a few things I did enjoy: - The choruses are mostly fine, even catchy at times. Their anthemic energy works well within the loudness of the mix. - While I don't like their voice I do like the snarky attitude they bring to many of the songs. - There's usually a tonne of energy present, wether it's in the drums, the guitars and even at times the bass they truly give their all. - No song seems to be there on accident. The tracklist is consistent, and the individuals songs fit where they've been put allowing for some decent pacing. Despite these points it's clear that this band is not for me and won't ever be a favourite. I'm tempted to give it one star, but that's just my personal biases speaking. Realistically it isn't terrible, especially considering the love people have for this album almost 30 years later. I just don't like any of it. 2/5

This list is making me discover the depths of my hate for Britpop in general and now Oasis in particular. The Gallagher boys seem to think that winning the volume wars was equivalent to producing superior music. They were quite wrong.

Loud instruments, same guitar, same drums, same voice tone, horrible mix... That's what you get when you listen to this album.

Oasis are one of those bands. The music is either painfully avergae but catchy or something just bad. This was the former of the two.

This is a pretty boring album; it's essentially fodder to be played over the PA system in a Cabela's.

13/1001. Guess I have to listen to a complete Oasis album. Wankers wanking with their guitars, and then putting up immortal classics is a tough mixture for me. I'm slowly realising this book seems to like electric guitars, and western pop way more than what my personal preferences are. But there is no similar website for the 1000 recordings you must hear before you die… So what to say. Most of the songs for me are boring and bland and the attitude is obnoxious. But Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger are undisputed classics to be ruined time and again in campfires around the world. A 2 for that.

So anyways here wonderwa. 3/10

C est un album de pop rock un peu banal. Cet album et les autres grouoe de pop rock britanique changerons le genre vers des sonoritées, des thèmes auquels je ne m'y retrouve pas.

je préfère fanta (et bob) nan mais sérieux le seul moment cool c'est les interludes morning glory (la track) est ok tier aussi L'outro est réussie dans ce qu'elle entrepend

Somewhat boring album, but I would still see them live just to watch the Gallagher brothers banter.

Did not age well. These guys are the arrogant pricks we always thought they were and have half the musical talent they thought they did.

I know there are some big hits on this album, but I’ve never been a fan of oasis and I’m still not. I just don’t like his voice. Sounds whiney and nasally to me.

Hmmm. This bit of Britpop hasn't aged well at all. Was never a massive fan in the first place and it's not got better over the years. Top it off it's an awful compressed recording that hurts the ears.

There are a few bands I'd like to see reform for that last hoorah.. This isn't one of them..

A few songs are familiar and likable. Overall, I can do without them.

Ugh. Every song sounds the same.

not my favorite.. but wonerwall i a classic

Je juge l'album. La musique et son originalité pour une génération d'adolescents. Et je fais comme si je ne les avais jamais vu en concert dans des festivals où je n'ai pas gardé des souvenirs fantastiques de leur prestation.

I never liked Oasis so much and when I listen again to this album it does remind me few memories. It looks to me over rated. Some nice music but seems a bit repetitive.

Surprised to see it held up. Still tremendously boring music though.

kind of boring ..? the songs all sounded the same. I liked some tho!

I do not understand the appeal of this band. It’s borderline corny and is trying to be rock even though it’s clearly pop…. sounds the same to me. Half-screaming vocals, not so great lyrics and the instrumentation is noisy, repetitive guitar shit.

1 great song, 1 great meme-able song, and the rest is pretty shit.

For the life of me, I do not understand the appeal of this band. Everything sounds the same to me. Half-screaming vocals (the lead's voice is neither pleasant nor interesting); lyrics are mostly dumb, and the instrumentation is noisy, repetitive guitar shit.

Never could quite get into these guys. Was always kind of British mopey music to me... kind of just grey rainy skies without much dynamics. Then there was the issue of the two brothers seemingly being assholes.

I never understood the hype around this band who thought they were gods but put out mid music at best. Far inferior to Pulp and Blur.

Not really my vibe but I understand why there was appeal.

I honestly don’t get the hype about this band. I think they’re so overrated. They have some beautiful songs too in particular on this album but overall they’re pretty boring, but they do give a great interview.

I've never liked Oasis. I've always thought they were boring, bland, Beatles rip-offs. Probably doesn't help that both Gallaghers are bellends and so many young guys around me growing up acted like Liam clones Given those 2 are such provocative arseholes you'd think their music would have a bit of bite to it but it's so tame. Hello is the closest it gets to having any grit, and Roll With It is a decent follow up but the album just becomes so bland after that. It's not terrible music, but I just find it so uninteresting During Don't Look Back In Anger, I reminisced on when I played in a band at uni. We played a variety of alt rock and heavy metal and thought we needed a crowd pleaser, so started rehearsing that one off the cuff. Maybe halfway through, everyone stopped all at once and agreed it was boring, and it was immediately dropped. Haven't changed my thoughts 6 years later Boring laddy pub rock dross. 2.5 Highlights: Hello, Roll With It

The deeper cuts are enjoyable but man do I hate the singles from this album.

**BRITSLOP BOSS BATTLE** Wow, I actually didn't hate this. There was a few songs I enjoyed, but a lot that I couldn't care less for. My main gripe with this record is how fucking boring it is. After the """"hits"""" - I'd genuinely pay money to never have to hear that song again - it really doesn't get interesting, in fact the opposite. Mediocre and monotone singing, boring ass Britpop guitars, nothing fun about it at all. Boooooring.

If this is supposed to be the face of this obnoxious, bowl cut laden genre then I just don't think it is for me

Any alright songs on this album are nearly all ruined by the dowager vocalist. Especially noticeable on morning Glory and Champagne supernova 4/10 Fav tracks - Don't look back in Anger, Hey Now

The opening track on this album has a writing credit to Gary Glitter. It is also probably the only song on this album where the lyrics are not just word salad. This VERY beloved album is very much a reflection of the UK at the time, a lot of good vibes and boisterousness obscuring a whole lot of nothing (Oasis predicted Tony Blair). No song on this album means anything apart from the title track which is just about doing cocaine in the morning - the closest the album comes to a single coherent thought which is impressive as I am convinced that Liam Gallagher has not fired a single synapse in his life. I am fortunate to have avoided consciously listening to Oasis until a few years ago so I do not have a great nostalgia for this album as many people do. When I first listened to Oasis I made a concerted effort to listen to all their albums and watch the doco Supersonic to see what all the fuss was about. Listening to this again, I realise that I only remember a handful of songs here mainly because those same songs are so ubiquitous in public probably as part of some Malthusian government scheme to export English depression around the world to convince people to commit suicide en masse. The Brothers Gallagher are often noted for their reverence of the Beatles and specifically John Lennon. This is reflected in their music because they have guitars and drums and stuff and Liam wears round sunglasses. The only thing that these bands have in common is a working class background and their 'rivalry' with a band with a more refined/university educated/wanker background (who are arguably better) in the form of The Rolling Stones/Blur. To quote Marx, “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce." The album is okay, I would listen to the highlights again but the filler here is awful and I cannot say this about many songs, but I genuinely hate Wonderwall and if there is a god, Noel and Liam Gallagher will replace Judas and Brutus in the mouth of satan in the 9th circle of hell for betraying humanity. Everytime some LOVELY PERSON plays Wonderwall at a house party, this is the mental image that helps me cope with being subjected to what could honestly be considered a musical hate crime. Just as LSD and pot were integral in the creative boom of music in the 60s and 70s; methamphetamine was responsible saving the world and totally ruining Oasis' American tour, thereby saving our universe from a dark future where these cunts were popular all over the world and not just Austerity Island. 'Where were you while we were getting high?' fortunate enough to not have been born for the cultural mass hysteria that was Oasis' peak fame. Highlights: Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Champagne Supernova

The mixing / mastering of this album makes it borderline unlistenable

It's a 'me' problem - the songwriting is undeniable, I just personally hate that sound. Sorry Oasis fans. I always was a Pulp girl.

Catchy songs, hate the bands culture and don't particularly enjoy listening to them

I listened to this whole album in the morning, and there was nothing glorious about it. The album is carried by one big hit, and it wasn't much of an oasis. The singing reminds me of a cringy teen male. Favorite Song: "Wonderwall".

I don't like Oasis, I don't like the Gallagher brothers, I don't like that the band is held up as the gold standard of a genre I am very much fond of... Champagne Supernova is good though innit?

So loud.

It’s so familiar and I feel so fucking annoyed about it as I can’t listen to objectively. I liked the non singles but I don’t really ever want to hear Roll With It ever again.

Godverdomme Godverdegodver Wonderwall WAAROM Ok, ik probeer me hierover heen te zetten, is de rest van het album dan misschien wel heel goed? Ik ga eigenlijk gewoon niet zo goed op de zanger van Oasis. Hij valt voor mij in het rijtje zeikerige zangers die ik niet zo goed vind, op het punt dat er karaoke versies van Wonderwall zijn geweest die ik bijna beter vind. Mijn theorie waarom het zo'n bizar populair nummer is om te coveren is dan ook dat mensen het origineel horen en denken "Ik kan dit beter". De gedachte is zeker door mijn hoofd geschoten nu net. Alles bij elkaar; ik ben geen fan hiervan. Het is vrij gezapige popmuziek. en dan ook nog eens met een matige zanger. FAVO: Dont look back in anger, Champagne Supernova

I'd like to focus this review around a single moment which I think sums up this album perfectly: "Don't Look Back in Anger" opening with what is, essentially, just the piano riff from John Lennon's "Imagine". Oasis were hardly the first (or last) band to be influenced by, or even directly lift from, the work of a Beatle or the combined Beatles. however, what troubled me about this introduction to "Don't Look Back in Anger" was that it felt to me as though Oasis were giving up the game. this is an element that contemporary reviews of this record really went after, and for good reason. it's one thing to pay homage to or write in the vein of one's influences (something Billy Joel has basically made an entire career out of), but it's another to bite them this directly. as many critics and musicologists have noted, "Don't Look Back in Anger" is far from the only example of such biting to be found here! this biting also serves to cover up the complete lack of ideas on display in Oasis' songwriting and production. I suppose this is pleasant enough while it's on; I wasn't actively offended by any of these 12 tracks, and a few of them are pretty familiar to me at this point thanks to the radio and the Rock Band games. but, once again, I run into the same problem I had with Devil Without a Cause: all of the sound and fury signifies nothing. these are attempts at loud, anthemic rock songs (right down to the string arrangements!), but they all feel completely hollow. not all rock music has to be about something, but it should at least be somewhat surprising! instead, I'm getting hit with this bricked out, mushy mixes and Liam Gallagher's caterwauling. that one Glassjaw song must've been written about his brother, who has less distinct songwriting qualities in his entire body than John Lennon had in his big toe. light 4/10.

So, I don’t think I’ll ever understand the success of Oasis and how they’re considered such a legendary band. Liam Gallagher literally just whines in every single song, and it’s the most annoying thing ever. That said, if it wasn’t for Liam Gallagher, I’ll admit that the music aspect of Oasis really isn’t that bad.

I just don't get it

Whiny Brit-pop with the personality of a plate of mushed peas.

Jedna fajn písnička, světlejší okamžiky v jiných, jinak nezábavná hudba z nákupáků

There is a lot of hype around this album. I feel it has not aged well.

Don't look Back in Anger is a highlight. The rest either bore me or are just plain bad.

I totally understand that this album was popular in 1995 and a game changer for the band but I never liked it. It's mediocre, it's spineless, it's lukewarm Bud Light on a swollen wood table with water rings. It feels lazy and something about them is so corn-balled, I didn't enjoy this listen. Sure it's nostalgic, but it degraded over time. The question on the front cover should be "Which Gallagher is a bigger douche?". It get's a low 2.0.

An overrated band and album; however, still very listenable. Has the hits, which are good, with "Wonderwall" easily taking the top bill. Oasis made the leap to stardom with this album and set themselves up as the slacker Brit-rock Bros of the 90s which def appealed to the generation. I never was overly impressed and still not. Noel kept up the d-bag persona and just brought the team down over the years. Maybe deserves the list and certainly better than many others that have made it...2.45.

First time listening to more than the singles. 7 great singles but not sure it is all round 'best album-y' enough to be up there with the very best? Not sure, listened to the Great Escape straight after Best - Some Might Say Worst - Hey Now

I know Wonderwall was a big hit.. but I don’t understand why this album is on this list.

I didn't enjoy this. I could appreciate the lyrics and music but the singing just made me happy it was over. He has such a whiny shouting way of singing. I am glad I listened to it so I can say with certainty I am not a fan

Couldn't find any part of any song I really liked.

Na

I never knew that this album was so incredibly long. I'm sad to say that this was almost 3 hours of the same exact song on repeat. I've heard so many good things about this one, too.

Meh

I mean, it's catchy, but not impressive or versatile in anyway. It's very bland one-note ear candy. Not exactly a shocker that AI can easily churn out Oasis songs 🤷

I don't like this. I understand they are popular. But I don't like them.

While I can recognize the cultural significance of this album, they are just insufferable.

Slăbuț , doar vreo două piese bune, nu l-as mai asculta niciodată în întregime - și nici măcar piesele alea nu le-aș salva în "favorite"

just strting, idk what i getting myself into

As bland as I remember it. Never understood the appeal.

Listening to Oasis is like shoving saltine crackers down my ear. By all accounts, I should love this album as an unashamed Britpop apologist, but it's like there's an evil demonic spirit hovering above these songs as I listen to them. It's not bad actually, but I still feel like I lost 5 years off my lifespan. Curse you, Gallagher brothers. NEXT DAY EDIT: They just teased an Oasis reunion, what the hell is happening.

This album kind of sucks. It's somewhat saved by the songs Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, but only barely.

After having listened to this I understand why I never followed Oasis earlier at all

i can see why people love this album, but i'm definitely not one of those people.

God I hate this band. I hate the mediocre songs. I hate their stupid hairstyles. I hate the fact that I knew every word of the hits because they were hammered on the radio so much back then.

Serviu para lembrar os momentos da MTV e que realmente não suporto britpop.

2/5

Lacklustre

I was in my formative years when Oasis were huge. I won’t deny that there isn’t a bit of nostalgia for the popular hits. But I’ve also always thought they were completely overrated. Outside of those big hits this is a bit of a dud of an album. 2.5/5

Repetitive, boring, and super whiny vocals. The back half of the album was better, but just not good enough to get that 3rd star for me.

Maybeeeeh

All I can say is I’ve already listened to this once in my life previously and that’s enough. Among the first huge albums to be brickwalled and my ears cannot get past this travesty which alas many copied. And in the era of Blur vs Oasis I was listening to Frank Black, Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, PJ Harvey. Oasis left me cold. 2/5 - some catchy tunes.

It's okay-ish. Descent production.

Pretty much every song on here is just as agreeable and unremarkable as Wonderwall, so I wasn't missing much when I never heard the other songs here and didn't gain much after I did.

I'm mature enough now to admit that I've jealous of this band. I still think they're lame but Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, and even Wonderwall are all objectively great tracks. Cast No Shadow and Morning Glory are also good lesser knowns. That said, every song ends with repeating the title for at least 30 seconds and it gets old so fast. Hello and Roll With It are both stupid tracks that don't set up the album for success at all. It might be a product of Oasis being part of the generation before me. I was 7 when this album dropped and Wonderwall was already a joke by the time I was getting into music. I just can't get over it.

It’s oasis… how good can it be?

Excuse me?!? "Where were you while we were getting high"?!? I was serving my country in the Cola Wars, mate. Doing my part. Not having a cheeky jangle and growing my eyebrows out like a knob. It's a little thing called "being a responsible citizen".

Mediocre album made into a horrible one by dickhead frontmen

Aside from "Champagne Supernova", this is strictly for buckethatted anglophile meatheads and any one interested in the Next Big Thing or absurdly demanding critical re-evaluation. Hard Pass.

"The new Beatles" lol

Champagne is a hit but this felt was boring and winey

Definitely some big sing-along hits on this album. My problem is I just don't feel good listening to Oasis.

Before: I had an oasis song on my iPod in middle school and loved it, so I am recklessly optimistic about this album. Roll with it - cool sound, no melody that jumps out at me Wonderwall - ah, a classic. Love the sound of the acoustic guitar. Don’t look back in anger - chill song Hey now - pretty good Some might say - I was bopping my head to this for sure She’s electric - oh no, I don’t like this one Champagne supernova - guitar solo saved it for me. Long though. Ugh, I had such high expectations. Too high. The songs on this album didn’t lock me in and make me want to listen to the whole thing through, so I was bouncing between my liked songs and this. I think that sums it up - fine in small bites but too much all at once. Like hummus. As an album, it didn’t hold up.

Just a bunch of Beatles wannabes. People defend this album

did not finish

Ok

Not as terrible as I was anticipating based on knowing Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. Still didn't enjoy it though.

I don't dislike this, and I'm not likely to seek it out. It feels factory cranked out, though I have no basis for this assessment. If you're looking for deeper incite, I leave you disappointed.

lukewarm pop; oasis are a one hit wonder Significant 41/130 Liked 20/130 Added 5/130 NNN

I can't forgive humanity for making Wonderwall more famous than Champagne Supernova.

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall…

Popular but CRAP

The first few songs had me thinking that this was going to be a good listen. But the truth is that the entire album was vanilla: the same four chords, same arrangement, same production/mix, the same four notes sung over and over. I don't know why these guys got any hype at all. Even "Wonderwall" is a sugar cookie of a song.

couldn't really get thru the whole album.

2024, I am not feeling this at all. Saw them live as support to REM in Sloane were ok, better if you are drunk.

I didn't care for it - there are very similar-sounding bands from that time who I enjoy more

Wonderwall is such a cliche and also awesome.

Kinda sounded the same. Very bland. Wonder wall is a bop though.

It's okay, but not my thing

dnl not my style

This album is pretty overrated but champagne supernove and don't look back in anger are great.

Hat mich in den 90ern kalt gelassen bis genervt, ist heute nicht anders. Mainstream, der wohl seine Relevanz hat(te) - aber: Not for me.

I don’t know man, it ranges from mediocre to irritating. But it has a distinct mood.

I just don't really get it, can see how some tracks are considered anthemic but I just found myself underwhelmed

I am a bitter soul and hate Oasis purely for Wonderwall, unfortunately.

Yeah sorry I am a hater. Really sick of hearing a lot of these songs. I find these tracks so similar and safe and derivative that it really doesn't excite me all that much. It has its moments, but this doesn't meet the hype. Anyway, here's Wonderwall. Two and a half. Fave track: Champagne Supernova

Not to be rude, but this just isn't very good. I've never thought Oasis had any real talent, and listening to this album, it confirms my opinion. I'm giving it two stars because it's commercial i.e. clearly some people like it, and it's not horrible, it's just not at all good.

Literally had to stop this after the first song.

Whiny and loud, often kind of cacophonous and definitely overstimulating. Most of them blend together for me, though I recognize Wonderwall, of course. It's really obvious listening to them all in one go how incredibly nasal-y the lead singer's voice is, which is putting me off. However, I didn't hate She's Electric or Some Might Say!

Oasis lose a lot of their shine when you remember that the Gallaghers are two of the most insufferable dickheads ever. Favorite track: Champagne Supernova

Today is gonna be the day that I stop listening to this album 3 songs in

Oh christ its gonna be a whiny album isnt it?

I um... hum. I feel like the music warrants maybe a three—its not bad, and I've always enjoyed some of their top hits from this record like Wonderwall, Roll With It, and Champagne Superno(r)va. However, the execution—that is the mixing, the vocals in particular, and the relentless, consistent “blah” in the sound throughout the whole album, is all ear-achingly screechy and downright exhausting. Maybe it was the remastered version that I listened to, but my car stereo volume goes from 1-50, and I had to listen to this album at no more than 8—with road noise—without blasting out my eardrums. At this whisper of a volume, I could still hear the vocals with crystalline clarity, but if I dared “crank” the volume up to 10 or 11—you know, to even attempt to hear the instruments—I risked suffering hearing loss and/or a mental break down from the wall of treble they compiled. For context, most music or audiobooks on this stereo I listen to between 20-40, so clearly this mix VASTLY prioritized the vocal tracks above all else. Also a mistake, this version of the album is three times as long as the original, and I started to listen to all of it. 40 minutes in to the extra two hours of tracks and I couldn't take it any longer, and I threw in the towel. tldr; I'm fine with hearing ONE of their songs at a time mixed in with other top hits of the era, but to paraphrase the prophetic words of one Taylor Swift, I am never, ever, ever, listening to this album again. Like EVER.

This one wasn't really for me. I see the broad appeal; upbeat, catchy choruses, big guitar riffs, but it felt dated to me.

Against my better judgment, I’ve complied. Listening to Oasis. Hello is actually a fun track I would’ve eaten up at 16. Roll with it… meh, emo, pop punky, off-brand Beatles. Whiny!!! (Wonderwall). He thinks he’s John Lennon… (Don’t Look Back in Anger). But undeniably catchy chorus! Credit where credit is due. It’s basically Ricardo Arjona in English. Negativo el procedimiento. (Like I said, some promising hooks, like in She’s Electric, but it’s all so framed in this whiny boring package, I’m not interested). 2 stars to reflect the occasional good songwriting.

Nonsense lyrics

After 954 albums I’ve learned that I really dislike Brit-pop, and then this comes up today. This is noisy but the most annoying thing for me is the grating vocals. This album only redeemed by Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova which are decent pop songs. Hopefully this is the last of the Brit-pop

Shitebags

insufferable

2/5 Best: Champagne Supernova Worst: The Swamp Song

moins pire que je pensais. still très soft rock. 4.5/10

A bit too poppy for me but the album itself is very good

Wonderwall overrated. Pulp is the better britpop band

A few great songs, then some absolute dog shit. At the end of album, you are stupider.

Can’t say I’m the worlds biggest Oasis fan. This album is a good line drive, but in the heated debate of the better Brit rock revival band, Blur wins every time for me. There are some fun hooks here, and my daughter danced to a few tracks. Anyway… … …here's wonderwall

I enjoyed the swagger of their debut on relisten but this is too lumpen and coked out.

Mest megnið af þessari plötu var orðið mjög þreytt fyrir löngu síðan. Það er þó eitt lag þarna sem mér þykir enn mjög vænt um (Champagne Supernova)

Do I hate this because it's bad or because of how I feel about the Gallagher bros. We'll never know.

Jesus christ this was dull. Lyrically sounds like he found most of them in fortune cookies. Every song drones on the same way, and it sounds like he has a cold

I recall parts of this from my Childhood as my parents played it a bunch. I honestly thought this was better but nope, this is dull generic rock with annoying vocals. Not necessarily bad but aside from Champagne Supernova and maybe Don’t Look Back in Anger, this album is mostly filler. The Swamp tracks actually showed promise but I guess they were too scared to have a full track to go against the grain and they cut them both short. This has to be one of the most overrated albums of all time. Wonderwall is just lame, their name is lame and the album cover is lame. Even the Gallagher feud is overrated and lame, get over it or fuck off ffs. I wanna give this a 2, it’s probably too low but fuck it 2 stars

I didn't enjoy this one. It's very bright and pop-y, not a style I'm into. I will say the singers voice did fit the band well. However, I will never, ever understand the insane popularity of wonderwall. Listening to the album, I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Overrated

Man, I haven't listened to this album in a long time and I think it will be a long time before I listen to it again. That said, I didn't hate it.

Two absolute and utter wankbags spewing out middle of the road moderate rock. All been done before and better. Style over substance.

Nah

Starts off with a co-write by Gary Glitter and goes downhill from there. An absolutely turgid exercise, leaching off 1970s glam and 1960s mod rock but draining away the fun of the former and obliterating the skip and bounce of the latter. Instead, what we're left with is an oafish, charmless, pretentious period piece that is utterly emblematic of 'Cool Britannia' - ie painfully embarrassing.

The stuff that made the radio is great, but the rest of the album just drags it down to mediocre.

Few tunas, lotta snooze

meh....

Like kje Oasis :(

It's really hard to get past his voice. I also hate almost every drum fill.

Meh

Kind of basic

Les Britaniques ont un attachement à cet album que je ne m’explique pas. Il y a de bons trucs, mais c’est tout de même assez générique comme rock.

This was tolerable when it came out, and it had to be because it was on in almost every teenage bedroom. Listening now, my tolerance has gone. Poor vocals, meaningless lyrics, early years chord patterns. My opinion probably influenced by what intolerable ****s they are, but was still glad when it finished.

There are some good tunes here, but the singer basically ruins them. I would take straight up screeching over this nasal whining. There's a good album in there somewhere, but it's not this.

Another one I'm going into with a pretty extreme negative bias. I actively dislike "Wonderwall," so I'm girding myself for this album. Immediate thoughts — musically this has energy. But I can't help feeling this is a band that's just trying too hard all the time. Maybe that's mostly true of Liam Gallagher. I had to skip through the end of Wonderwall because of his incessant wankering. How did that become the biggest song on this album? It's the weakest of the first three. 1.5 BILLION spins on Spotify. Confounding. By track #5, I've hit my wonderwall with this sound. I Wanda, if someone did an analysis, does Liam Gallagher hit and hold the same note in every song, because that's what it sounds like to me. The band seems to be running out of ideas... #6... fastest selling album in UK history? The same populace that brought us Brexit. Had to skip past it midway. #7... Oooh, lousy arrangement to add to the cacophony. Not able to save the unimaginative vocal melody. Skip midway. #9... pretty good, I made it about 80% through. #10. Paused. Breathing. Searching for videos of people running fingernails on chalkboards to cleanse my palate. This one has 1.2 million views, so not in the same league as Wonderwall, but respectable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13d5d6LVEpU "Champagne Supernova" is probably the song I liked most — disliked least? — despite the trite lyrics. Gallagher isn't as abrasive on that one. So yeah, didn't like it. Is it a one or a two? Gonna sleep on it.

I always thought this band was overrated and the media frenzy around the Beatles comparison was tiring. Some British musicians really bug me with that exaggerated accent when singing. Sure I think Wonderwall is an OK song and I enjoy it. I do dig Champagne Supernova (mostly because my friend Craig and I liked to sing "where were you when we were getting high"). However, all of these songs strong together don't delight me in any real way. Blah.

Trying to go in with an open mind, here. I was an American teenager when Oasis-mania originally hit in the 90’s - all about that grunge. Didn’t care for Oasis much at the time, they always struck me as nothing more than the sum of their influences, but I only knew the singles. We’ll see how accurate that take is. “Hello” opens things up nicely and has some restrained guitar noise at the end. Good opener. “Roll with it” - Ah, there’s the Beatles aping I was expecting. Pleasant enough, but if I want I Beatles fix, I’ll just listen to the Beatles. Know what I mean? I guess that was always my problem with Oasis. They were a little too on the nose with their Beatles worship - almost gets to the point of parody, in its own way. Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall”. “Don’t Look Back in Anger” - Speaking of on the nose…“I’m gonna start a revolution from my bed” is apparently lifted from cassette recordings of John Lennon taken at the Dakota Hotel. That’s kind of cool, I guess…but after this, I’m going to “Look Back in Anger” and throw on Bowie’s Lodger. “Hey Now!” - a real missed-opportunity not getting Hank Kingsley to guest on this track. So far the tracks on this record, while not necessarily my cup, have been strong. This is the first one that doesn’t do much for me. Nearly 6 minutes is too long for this. “Untitled (1)” - 44 seconds of space-y blues rock. Unnecessary. “Some Might Say” - wherein Oasis tries to give Teenage Fanclub a run for their money. You know what some might say? “This one goes on too long, bruh.” “Cast No Shadow” - yeah, I figured out what it is about this band that doesn’t sit well with me. It’s Liam Gallagher’s vocals: his delivery, moreso than his actual voice. He does this thing a lot (which you can hear at the start of the track). Where the emphasis on words is weird “ HERE’S a THOUGHT for EVERY man WHO….”. It grates, after a while. This song also goes too long. I swear, I like long songs, but so far the long songs on this record aren’t justifying their 5+ minute lengths they just kind of repeat the same thing over and over. “She’s Electric” - this chorus sounds exactly like a Beatles song, but I can’t put my finger on which one. “Morning Glory” - A bit of a Ride vibe on this one with the swirling guitar noise and propulsive beat. My favorite so far, even if the guitar line reminds me of REM’s “The One I Love”. Untitled (2) kind of a rehash of the the first Untitled, but with a more experimental tilt, waves crash into… “Champaign Supernova”, which is a fine track. I like these songs better when the band is going off. As said earlier, they kind of have a Ride-ish shoegaze vibe when the guitars get going and they lock into a groove, but by the end of this record, I’m finding Liam Gallagher to be very off-putting as a singer. I think what made Oasis successful is that they managed to take a lot of pieces from what was going on concurrently in UK music and kind of make into their own with a big nod to the Beatles. I get why they were popular, but they’re a group that I find difficult to separate the band from their influences.

Ehhhhh

Overrated Beatles pastiche.

Fuck this dude's voice

When the best track on the album is Untitled and lasts only 44 seconds...

Listening to the full album, I've come to the realization that I only like Oasis in small doses at a time. Their music can be such an ear sore and only enjoyed listening to "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova."

The music is, in general, good. But it became monotonous to me. Also, I can't get past how obnoxious the Gallagher brothers are. Or Liam. I don't remember if it's one or both, but it flavours my listening.

Simultaneously enjoyable and annoying. I can't separate my history listening to this and assess it objectively, sorry.

Imagine liking _this_ more than Blur. Couldn't be me. I did listen to this, Wonderwall remains Not Good but catchy and nothing on here is great and most of it is a bit mediocre at best.

The strings in the background of Wonderwall make it a classic track, but the rest just sounds like Liam whinging and wining on about something or other.

Weniger egal als der Vorgänger aber auch trotz vielgezeigter Perlen dann doch nur Modeschmuck.

I hate this album so much I want to cry. The singer is whiny, the music is generic and it just drones on forever

not my style

some good songs. not at all a "timeless" album, and not one I would listen to frequently

Ok, ikke fremragende.

Eh. 5/10

See my other Oasis reviews. If they're gonna make all their albums sound the same why shouldn't all my reviews be the same?? Huh??

Poor mix undermines good melodies. In hindsight, just generic guitar rock.

I was pleasantly surprised listening to Oasis' first album and really, really enjoyed it. I thought I'd perhaps wasted 25 years not being an Oasis fan. This album compounded why I never get into them when this came out. It's just not that good to me.

Eh

I could not finish this album. It was alright but not my cup of tea. Anyways heres Wonderwall.

Brit-pop group loves The Beatles, but only “Revolver” era Beatles. Which ain’t bad, but they can’t even write a song as good as “Taxman.”

Had it's moments. And I do like Wonderwall. But on the whole it's very "meh".

Not my vibe. Some classics though

Eh not very good despite a couple of solid ideas

Oasis. Meh.

Boring, a lot of yelling, reminds me of the 2000s, I don't mind it but its not my cup of tea

Chyba pierwszy Oasisowy, grupy ktora znalem tylko z radia, bo kto nie slyszal wonderwalla, wiec mocno popularny albumik, ktory zasluguje calkowicie na miano popowego rokowania, patrzac na to jak sie sprzedal, wiec super wreszcie przeslucham wonderwallowego albumiku, okazalo sie jednak, ze dziesiec na jedenascie trakow to doslowne wonderwalle, balladowe kalwaki okraszone niemirosiernymi refrenikami, zagranymi na jedno kopyto, wiec jesli traki ktore maja byc skitami, oddzielnymi solowkami nadaja albumikowi oddechu swiezosci, to nie jest dobrze, brytyjskie wycie znowu mnie zawiodlo, swoim katowaniem jednego schematu budowany piosenki, czegos takiego mozna sluchac dawkujac singiowo, ale w formie albumikowej jest to meczacy odsluch, na plejke nie dodaje nic nowego, bo juz klasyczny wonderwall sie na niej znajduje, a jeden trak z tego jakze monotonnego albumu w zuplenosci wystarczy

not my thing

“(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” by Oasis (1995) Lyricist Noel Gallagher is consumed by his own cleverness in his unsuccessful struggle to find rhymes. Yes, ‘sister’ does rhyme with ‘blister’, but what context can possibly be invented to bring these two words together with any semblance of sense? These lyrics do have potential, showing progression and creative resolution, but are frequently marred by internal incoherence and the use, overuse, misuse, and abuse of cliches. And there’s even a daft adherence to correct grammar (“I know the roads down which your life will drive” Really? Did they teach you that at Eton?). Setting aside the moronic poetry, this album provides some musical delights. Chord progressions, while not particularly inventive, show pleasant variety. Supported by a solid rhythm section, the clean (rhythm-heavy) guitar performances carry the music well. There are some jarring but aimless compositional transitions that tend to distract. Liam Gallagher’s lead vocals, while not high quality, are sufficient for the (undemanding) musical task. Brother Noel must be really impressed with that strumming acoustic intro, since he uses it on four tracks. And remember what I said about the beauty of sibling vocal blend? Forget it. But the music flows adequately for soft rock—enough to give it a listen. Once. 2/5

Nah, still don't like Oasis.

Not my bag baby

Couple good songs. Not my scene.

Meh

Not an oasis fan(far from it) but this has to be their best album(and has the only song of theirs that I enjoy "morning glory"). So even after listening again to this, I'm still not a fan. I cannot stand to listen to the whiney sounds of Noel.

Sabemos que la fama de Oasis radica en que fueron unos aprovechados en el momento indicado, no puedo mentir y decir que no me gustan algunas de sus rolas pero como personas creo que los Gallagher son no gratos, inflados y soberbios, algo que la música y la humanidad no necesita. Les voy a dar un 2 solo por que mi acercamiento a la música (ya por gusto propio) fue entre el 92-95 y el britpop fue de mucho impacto para toda una generación en ese momento

Oasis has not been a favorite of mine. but reasonable music.

This is the most 90s shit I have ever heard. Did not finish.

Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now

Meeeeehhhh

They can certainly make anthems... just not ones I get roused about. Lots of nostalgia with not a lot of sense

Seriously just not for me

Sorry, but I'm team Blur.

OVERRATED OVERRATED OVERRATED Des grandes gueules… mais pas grand chose derrière

jag hatar oasis och det här var sämre än jag trodde

Oasis always sounded like a shitty grunge remix of the Beatles, never understood the hype

ass song, dont ever recommend again

Music for boys and men who are either nostalgic for boyhood or who are still boys. And like all things for boys, the rest of us have to also engage with it for some reason, like Marvel Movies, cars, and dick measuring contests. Relatable lyrics designed to be shouted together. Melodies that you've heard before. Songs that can be played on almost any acoustic guitar by a novice and sound approximate to the record. This was like a drone in the background for me, and I literally listen to drone sometimes.

0.5/5

Why can't I give zero stars?!?

Yet another over hyped, over played and over lauded band.

They made the same song 12 time. So repetitive & I h a t e Liam Gallagher’s voice.

This list of 1001 essential albums sure does have a ton of Brit pop bands that are only average at best. I remember when these guys came out and people were losing their minds and comparing Oasis to the Beatles. As it turns out, they were just another average Brit-pop that no one outside of Britain really gave a damn about.

Скучно

Wow I hate Oasis and listening to this just enforced that

Never liked Oasis. Dislike the whining wingeing voice.

Nope.

History has not been kind.

Whining stupid music.

Badly sung, boringly played, and every song sounds the same. It also cointains the silliest ballad ever made. To avoid at all costs. Not far is the day when, this blatant copy of the worst Beatles song repeated for an entire album, will be seen as it deserves: with a passing glance of disdain.

I unironically think I'm too intelligent to listen to Oasis. I'm willing to suffer through a lot of bad music, but ain't no way I'm willingly listening to wonderwall

Shite

No thanks. This band is for someone who is not me.

La cote 1 doit servir à dénoncer les albums à éviter avant de mourir. L'album d'Oasis est comme une vidéo perturbante sur internet qu'on préférerait ne pas avoir regardée: il faut vivre avec les séquelles.

grueling and physically painful. i feel drained. i do not know how to describe this in any way other than in varying degrees of agony. quintessential god-awful britprop is what this is. i don't even know where to begin. the singing? does this even qualify for such a word? it's somewhere between screeching and whining where he arbitrarily decides which vowel he is going to hold for far too long with inane lyrics that are entirely meaningless. the instrumentation is white noise. this is a national prank from britain, yes? surely it must be. i simply refuse to believe that this a real album that people think is listenable, let alone great.

My parents really liked Oasis, I really hate Oasis. I hate Liam's incredibly whiny voice, I hate the god awful production that is designed solely to be played on crap radios, I hate the overblown sound of every song, I hate the nonesense ass lyrics and I especially hate the fact that living in the North of England means that there's this nonesense tribalism expectation to enjoy this shit music. Don't Look Back in Anger is the only Oasis song I ever have managed to even slightly like (random fact, the name is a reference to a Bowie song off Lodger) and that's because I can slightly stand Noel's singing sometimes. I had to listen to this album so much growing up and I do not get why people like this crap. Blur won the Top of the Pops with Country House, and Oasis wins "my least favorite band" award. I know that Oasis is beloved and if you like them, that's great! I would rather listen to a Modern Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Maroon Five collab album then listen to god damn Oasis.

Appallingly boring in scope, lyricism and musicality. I’m trying to give it a fair listen but I just want to listen to anything else

I live in the UK and hear Oasis all the time. No thanks.

oasis mi rifiuto di ascoltarli :skull:

What a fouking wonderful start of the year, I hit the wall immediately. Wonder why all are prepared to give Oasis such high review. I hope this experience slides away, so I don’t need to look back in anger on this review challenge. As I see it: the 1995 record everyone tells you is untouchable. Canon. Sacred. A communal sing-along where you’re expected to raise your pint, and accept that this is as good as it gets. But from the first minutes, I’m already waiting for it to be over, wondering when the revelation is supposed to arrive. The problem isn’t that it’s loud or confident. It’s that it’s written in stone, a Thesis. Every song walks in like it already knows it’s right. Don’t Look Back in Anger tells me not to question it. Wonderwall assumes I’ll be there at the fire site when it matters. Some Might Say shrugs off doubt as if uncertainty itself were a character flaw. And by the time Champagne Supernova floats by, I realise it's not the Champagne I wanted to pop for 2026. This album mistakes repetition for unity and simplicity for universality. These are karaoke anthems before they’re songs,engineered for mass agreement, not discovery. Everything is pushed toward the same litter box: big chorus, open vowels, arms-around-shoulders emotion, pints spilling around. It’s music that doesn’t want to argue with you, but it absolutely expects you to agree. And maybe that’s why it grates. The mainstream love around this record feels more like enforcement. If one don’t feel it, the fault must be yours. You’re told this is the sound of a generation, but generations are rarely this tidy. Life is messier than these songs allow. There’s no real tension here, no risk. So no, this wasn’t the Champagne Supernova I hoped for as my first review of 2026. It didn’t explode, didn’t transport, didn’t even surprise. I understand why people love it. I just don’t believe it deserves the pedestal. And if this review sounds like resistance rather than revelation, that’s because sometimes the most honest response to a cultural monument is simply to say: I was there, I listened And I felt nothing!

The story is that these guys are annoying as fuck. I absolutely can’t stand the vocals. The songs are boring and go on too long. I hate the singles. What the fuck is a “wonderwall”? Anyway. I suspect I’ve made my point.

Oasis 🤮

If narcissism was an album.

I really am not into Oasis I found out.

Ohne historische Vorbelastung wäre das ohne Zweifel ein Fünf-Sterne-Album. Aufgrund meiner Jugendtraumata, ausgelöst durch die Heerscharen an "Leuten mit Gitarre" bei Lagerfeuern (bei denen ich einfach mal den Moment und die Ruhe genießen wollte), und die eigentlich nur Wonderwall und Westerland spielen konnten, es darf auch unzählige Male getan haben, also dafür, dass Oasis einen so ultra nervigen Song produziert haben, muss ich direkt mal zwei Sterne abziehen. Zwei weitere Sterne ziehe ich ab, weil hier wahrscheinlich jeder andere Dulli vier oder fünf Sterne geben wird und ich will einfach nicht dauernd diese Band in der Statistik oben sehen...

Joa, ich mag die Stimme nicht. Quäle mich jetzt durch das Album. Qualitäten sind sicher da ... aber .... frage mich was für eine Wertung ich geben soll. Also das sind alles subjektive Wertung wie es mir gefällt und wie viel Bock ich auf die Alben habe, nicht wie gut und einflussreich sie sind.

I don't get why Oasis is considered great, it's mediocre and boring in my ears

AWFUL VOICES. makes me hate it. Great songs... when Noel isn't singing them

Alternative group out of the late 90’s-00’s. Ok music.

The last place I worked had a strict no Oasis or Sublime rule. I'm listening but I am not happy about it. Two tracks in and we were right to ban Oasis.

God, I wondered when this would crop up. The ongoing appeal of Oasis' stodgy, turgid, plod-rock is mystifying. Some of the tunes can snare you but this just distracts from the fact that none of the lyrics make any sense at all. This is tedious, lowest-common-denominator sludge for piss-hurling thugs. Liam Gallagher bought me a pint once but I've never spent a single penny on Oasis. This puts me up on the deal, and that's the only good thing I can say about them.

I couldn't even bring myself to listen to this. Just thinking about Champagne Supernova makes me feel angry

Not for “MEEEEEEE”. (That’s how they sound. All high pitched and whiny.)

I know it's coming... I know it's coming... WONDERWALL GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

I am only semi-familiar with Oasis’s song Wonderwall. I am not resonating with this group. So it gets a 1 for me as I didn’t want to finish this, but I chose to as I said I would listen to every album given me to in its entirety!

I understand the cultural impact, but cannot get past their voices. I'd rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard

Good n grungy, one (two) hit wonder makes sense

Yet more over hyped, overblown dadrock by one half talented brother and one total idiot.

1 decent track, the rest are drowned out by awful over production probably because they just don't play good music.

Brit pop is arguably my favorite single genre of music. My favorite band of all time is The Verve and many of my favorite songs and albums are from this sub genre. I have felt this way about this album and Oasis in general since 1996... Oasis is the single most overrated, uninspiring, mid Brit Rock band to emerge from the genre and this album is a sad commodification of it's stylings.

Honestly the most overrated album on this list. Garbage.

Can’t stand Oasis and this album did not change my mind.

The guitar player dominated the sound tracks. Perhaps the singer and guitar player should seek other musicians to balance out the band's sound.

After the major shake-up in rock during the early ‘90s, I never really get the hype around Britpop in general and more specifically around Oasis. Apart from their working class bad-boy attitude, musically, it’s honestly not good or ambitious. Production with added violins cannot hide the monotonous and annoying voice of Liam and the songs structures and the technical complexity are those of a local pub’s band. This is easy, risk-free, and hollow rock. To me, it’s a big scam, almost an affront to the Beatles and to rock. But I guess you had to be English and to read tabloids to really grasp their impact. In 95, I was embracing The Bends from Radiohead instead.

Just boring. Musical beige. I absolutely do not understand the fuss. Not for me.

Wonderwall by Oasis and Waterfall by The Stone Roses ask the musical question, is she liquid or made of brick? Does anyone care?

Ugh. Like nails on a chalkboard. Whiney, grating nasal lyrics paired with uninspired, cacophany sounds. I suffered through it. You shouldn't have to.

I would've preferred having to listen to "Rockstar" by Nickelback 12 times in a row than this because then at least I would've had a modicum of fun.

I can’t believe how leaden and “first gear” this album is - even the title track is more pedestrian than I remember it when it came out. There’s nothing here except cheesy parodies of other people’s work, the worst of which results in them providing Gary Glitter with an income. I really thought I’d give this more stars than this.

I honestly don’t get the hype with these at all. I respect that they captured an era, and that people love them for it, but their songs do nout for me. I remember seeing an interview with the Gallaghers where the interviewer was asking them about the meaning behind their songs. Noel looked stumped and Liam replied ‘theyre just tunes arent they’. Kinda sums them up for me that

Oasis was originally The Shitty Beatles in Wayne's World. I cannot get into this record, and the production is terrible. I tried to listen with my stereo and headphone rig, but it sounded terrible all the way around. Oasis is another band that is praised for various reasons but at the end of the day; it is trite shite; Oasis blows ass because they suck, it is that simple. 1995 had three records not on the list, and all three are essential. Death - Symbolic, Neil Young - Mirror Ball, Three 6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane Primus - Tales from the Punchbowl Sonic Youth - Washing Machine Mobb Deep - The Infamous Ruins - Hyderomastgroningem

I fucking hate oasis Middle finger x3 emoji 1.5

This is the musical equivalent of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The use of the A-bomb demonstrated the inhumanity and destructive force that man could wield against man, inspiring decades of reckless arms races and the ever looming threat of nuclear holocaust, whereas the release of Oasis’ biggest album was an example of the inhumanity and destructive force that the British could wield against music, inspiring decades of reckless imitation by the most annoying people to ever live, and the ever looming threat of Britpop becoming popular again.

Utter Crap. Massively overrated band. Whiney, grating voices. Blur were much better.

I fucking hate wonderwall with a passion.

No

I didn't hate this as much as I expected to! I don't know why, but every Oasis song I've heard up to now is usually aggravating. However, this album had a couple songs on it that were merely mostly annoying. Congratulations.

I never listened to this whole album. I'd say that you don't actually need to listen to the whole album--if you've heard the hits off this record, the rest of it sounds like a rehash/retread of those songs, with potentially more moronic lyrics (She's got a sister/ And God only knows how I've missed her/ And on the palm of her hand is a blister). Coupled with Noel Gallagher's massive ego, this is a total pass for me. I listened to the whole thing (so this would rank it potentially higher than Kid Rock's "Devil Without a Cause"), and it definitely defined the sound of 1990s Britpop, but if I never hear it again, it would be too soon. It's not bad enough to be on my personal soundtrack in hell, so I guess that makes it a 2, though it's properly a 1.5 (for me, dawg).

God I hate this band. Genuinely never understood the appeal. It’s just generic, loud, whiny and boring. Honestly, all their shit sounds the same. Shallow shit tracks.

Mediocre alt-pop rock. Would die happily without hearing this.

Garbage. If you think I’m spending a Saturday listening to this tuneless drivel, and giving that pair of gormless monobrowed Planet of the Apes rejects a minute of my time, you are sorely mistaken. This could be the Million and One albums to listen to before you die, and Oasis wouldn’t belong on it. The most overrated band in history. Standout Song: Don’t be silly. Score: 1/5

What if – and hear me out – Oasis was never really good, but British people were just *so* goddamn nostalgic for their ‘60s rock bands that they let a group of lads who wrote pretty boring and basic songs and who couldn’t sing for shit become the biggest band in the world, and then let them make the most mid-‘90s overproduced album imaginable built around a handful of half-finished hooks and beginner guitar chords that go on for 5-10 minutes for no reason whatsoever. Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall,” the best song on this god awful overhyped piece of trash, which tells you how good the rest of it is, really.

A glimmering turd that for some reason, other people think is a good record. The Gallagher show a complete lack of originality or musicality not seen again until Ed Sheeran and it’s amazing they’ve gotten away with it for so long. I’d give this zero stars but I am not allowed to

90s Radiohead tribute act. But with annoying vocals.

Wasn't a fan. Half the time it sounded like it was recorded in someone's garage with the garage door open.

When this came out, I felt like I had walked into a room at the tale end of a joke - I didn’t get it. Still don’t - the band does pretty well musically but Liam Gallagher has such a nasally annoying voice I remain baffled at Oasis’ success and continued popularity. All these five star reviews have me mightily flummoxed.

Id rather stick a needle in my ear than listen to these assholes

Hahaha, fuck no. Garbage. Straight trash homie
