Amazon.co.uk Review
In retrospect, it's hard to see how Oasis could have possibly equalled the hype surrounding the release of this, their third album. Arriving as their popularity was at its peak, it's a confusing, faintly self-indulgent collection. The first single, the wryly-titled "D'You Know What I Mean?", had a monolithic sort of grandeur, taking Noel Gallagher's fondness for overdubbed, wall-of-sound guitars to some new peak, but also seemed a little over-extended--as did its follow-up, "All Around The World", a slab of Beatles-esque, sing-along pop that seemed to last longer than the entire White Album. Then again, it made a kind of sense: nothing if not mindful of rock tradition, Oasis's quest to be the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band meant that they were obliged--like the Stones before them--to make their own mid-1970s album (albeit, two decades too late). And from its Caribbean origins, to its raucous, bloated, "cocained-out" sound, this is it: a triumph of arrogance over ambition. Maybe next time they'll go punk. --Andrew McGuire

This album was hyped, mass-purchased and then slated, and it's obvious from all the reviews here that my thoughts are not alone. This album was superb when I bought it and it is still brilliant today. From the opening track (D'You Know What I Mean?) to the beautiful reprise of All Around the World at the end, this album has you captivated with it's effect-laden, athemic songs. Noel creates a superb wall of sound on the heavier tracks, which gives the record a powerful feel, and although it is long, it's still a pleasure to listen to. My favourite tracks are My Big Mouth, Girl In The Dirty Shirt and It's Getting Better Man. Nuff said.

It is a very good album, featuring some belting songs. Just check out "All Around The World" and the simply outstanding "Stand By Me", possibly the best song Oasis have done. Don't believe the press, buy this album and check it out for yourself.

I was really disappointed with this album because i was expecting so much after morning glory. It started off well with do you know what i mean and continued with stand by me, but the songs started to be really dull and each being very similar to the last. All around the world is a good song but it is far too long and you will tire of it after listening to it for a couple of times. Some of the album tracks are good like girl in the dirty shirt but the rest is not upto oasis standard.
