i've never heard this album in its entirety but it has a reputation as being one of the definitive britpop albums, some even say it's a brilliant piece of music. who here agrees (please, only people who have actually heard the album) and should i get it? i think the singles off this album are excellent.

It's my favourite Oasis album... but then, I only like that one and their first one.

i love this CD....it's been a while since i listened, but as mentioned previously the songs remind me of fun/happy times.
it's definately a good album....even if you're not an oasis fan. i can't say i am....liam and his brother are egotisical bastards and it's a real turn off...plus the stuff after this album sounded like shite IMO =0)

I LOVE that album... great stuff, and I don't like admitting that... I dislike that band, and the assholes that comprise it.
Great album, gave them a big head... bigger than the Beatles my pale white ass.

I would say that Champagne Supernova wasn't nearly the best song on that album. . . But's that just me: I'd rather listen to Don't Look Back In Anger and others.

"definitive britpop" It used to be Indy, Britpop came from no place. Oasis are main stream and dull. If you want REAL Indy try 'Tiger' or 'Stony Sleep/Seraphin' anything like Oasis is simply just music industry regulated wank. Very dull.

Download 'Midmay' by 'Stony Sleep' and 'Race', 'On The Rose' or 'Speak to me' by 'Tiger'
If you want real Indy you have to look behind the big record labels.

It's a good album but certainly not groundbreaking. If you lived in England through 94' to 97' you got engulfed by a wave of good Britpop and Oasis where popular and mainstream. It's like listening to the spice girls man. The amount of good indy there that didn't get put around was shocking. If you like Oasis chances are you would like real British indy more. Don't submit to the record labels because if you confirm to that standard you may as well listen to moby rather then Aphex twin. Trust me, do some digging, It's worth it.

And the best bands weren't even signed to labels ...
Oasis did start out on Creation Records before they were swallowed by the Sony conglomerate.

I agree with Spikee Dragon on this one....
I mean, it's an *alright* album, but it's very dull. "Some Might Say" was a good single, but then it's got utter dirge on it like "She's Electric".
I would say that their first album was their only half-decent one, and it was the second album where it all started to go wrong.
A much better mainstream indie album from the same period was Dog Man Star by Suede (known as The London Suede in the US). Now that was an amazing album. Download some tracks from it: The Wild Ones, New Generation, We Are the Pigs, and you'll see. As far as I'm concerned, that was the best mainstream British record of the early 90s.

They didn't start out on creation. Technically they started out on HelterSkelter then Creation. I have some early Oasis singles with HelterSkelter as the record label rather then creation. I have shit like that and I'm not even a fan. But really that is nit picking. Sorry. All is EMI regulated.

titsworth,
my brother swears by oasis. I think that the band is okay until I see or hear Liam. my brother loves the album and has subjected me to it much. right away I know he loves roll with it/track2 and some might say/track7. I dig hello/track 1, and hey now!/track5. the whole album is really good if you like what you heard so far. the album standing on the shoulder of giants is probably is my favorite by oasis. it seems that with that record they actually tried to get away from their standard sound.

*sighs* I didn't take it personally but ok, I'll keep my maw shut and decline from showing my opinion.
If you like the music well cool, I was just trying to tell you about other groups you may like.

i appreciate the effort and i am always looking out for new music to get into but in this specific case i wanted to stick to the topic of this album... sorry, don't be offended
as for not supporting major labels, i totally agree! i think it's important to support the smaller labels and less popular artists. that said, i don't own any oasis albums and i want to buy this one. i'd buy it used so it's not like soundscan would register a new copy of it being sold.

...and i thought everyone on this mb hated oasis!! ^^
my first favorite band. underneath the sky is one of my favorite songs ever. :)
definitely maybe — their best album i know. almost every track is a classic — i have a preference for 'rock'n'roll star', 'columbia', 'supersonic', 'slide away'. :)
(what's the story) morning glory? — very good; especially 'wonderwall', 'morning glory' and 'champagne supernova' are great. some tracks are a little bit heavy ('roll with it'...) maybe, but still a very good album.
be here now — i used to have it in mp3, from what i remember it was good but unequal. 'd'you know what i mean?', 'my big mouth', are great, 'don't go away' (which ressembles to 'slide away') and 'fade in-out' are very good, 'magic pie' and 'all around the world (reprise)' are heavy...
the masterplan — first album i heard from them, my fav after definitely maybe. it's only a compilation of b-sides, but i don't care. i love it.
standing on the shoulder of giants — 'gas panic' is one of the best oasis songs ever, but the rest is a bit deceiving...
i don't have heard all of heathen chemistry yet. 'the hindu times' is very good, but i think they kinda lost it since the shoulder of giants. not completely, but it's not as good as it used to be.

I wouldn't buy it now.
Its one of those 'of an era' LPs . But If U weren't in the UK c1996 you might still find it fresh . I bought it ; & along with 'Definately maybe' remains the best mainstream guitar pop of the last 10 years

i too thought everyone here would hate oasis!
this album IS great. it and Definitely Maybe are my favourites from Oasis... ive noticed that they tend to be everyone's favourites
Oasis were the first band i really really liked... ive been sort of a closet fan for a long time now..... ive liked them enough to buy all 4 albums +THe Masterplan
im not to fond of their newer stuff..... and their newEST stuff is just plain bad imo (except for maybe one or two songs)
needless to say i haven't actually listened to oasis in my cd player for..... probably a couple of years
hearing their stuff brings back all kinds of memories... *sniff*
...actually, im going to an oasis concert next weekend! lets hope they stick to their older material.
