The reviewer that thinks Oasis had anything to do with Madchester needs to go get a clue.
Turning up several years late and making third-rate knock-offs of the works of true geniuses doesn't make you one yourself.
A lot of the tracks on this disk aren't Madchester themselves by a long-stretch but they are all reminiscent of the era. They were all staple play-list material in the pubs and clubs and on Picadilly Radio at the time.

I have written a review for a number of these "madchester/baggy" compilations and its not so much as critise what has been included, (though a few are a bit odd) but what is missing.
You see anyone can lay there hands on the Roses, Mondays and New Order tunes. Its songs like Weekender by Flowered Up, or Standing Here by the Mill town Brothers, My Rising Star or Shall We Take a Trip by Northside. that a hard to track down and that give a real flavour to the madchester sound rather than Orbital, or Admakski who you can find on any compilation from the era. I am guessing some of the problem with these bands is ownership of the publishing rights but even so I am sure a better representation of the scene and the bands involved could have been put together.
Take the Smith's, for instance, I love them to bits but they have about as much to do with Madchester as the Nirvana did. So try again Bez. A better compilations for the scene are, Madchester Vol 1 or Weekender, (if they haven't been deleted) whilst neither comprehensively cover the scene completely they do a much better job than this one.

As an Indie comp its fine but its not what it claims to be if all these bands were supposed to be from Manchester.Neither is it that concerned about the period covered when the Smiths and the Cure and Saint Etienne are in there.
The Cure? Just one of many who were from over 200 miles South of Manchester anyway.
What this is really is where the money men take over milking a name the Press made up and getting a walking mental home like Bez to add his name.You can't imagine he "compiled" this lot anyway

Very... average?
After seeing the T.V commercial, it seemed the Madchester Anthems looked like a great album. But I was suprised at how average it sounded. Read more
