Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Oasis were already dubbed the New Beatles before the release of What's The Story--within a month of it going multi-platinum, The Times claimed they were more important than the Fabs; and Liam Gallagher was inviting George Harrison to fight him on Primrose Hill. But then, you'd feel cocky enough to pick on a Beatle if you'd just recorded these songs. Obviously the singles--"Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back In Anger", "Some Might Say"--rock; but it's a shocker rediscovering just how ace the album tracks are. The minor-chord that the chorus of "Hey Now!" pivots on could liquefy a brick; "Champagne Supernova" is the sound of a band riding the nose-cone of a rock & roll Concorde, and as for "She's Electric"--ah, well. Every New Beatles must have their "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". --Caitlin Moran

5.0 out of 5 stars (What's the story) Morning Glory?, 23 July 2002
I could take hours just briefly summing up the brilliance and pure talent which have been packed into an album which displays the talent of Oasis. 1995's "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" was without doubt, the best album released by Oasis to date. It has everything - a vast blend of tinny, acoustic riffs, marvellous ballads, and the trademark voice of Liam Gallagher.

For once, an album I've bought has the perfect mix of various styles of music, squeezed into just twelve tracks. Every track on this album is excellent - it's not one of those albums which has one or two tracks which could have been produced better. Tracks such as "Wonderwall", "Don't look back in anger", and "Champagne Supernova" are simply brilliant - these tracks built foundations for the success of Oasis, which have become one of Britain's most popular bands in recent years.

Track 1: Hello
With the beginning of "Wonderwall" floating at the beginning of this track, the immediate use of crunching guitar solos make this a marvellous start to the album. The lyrics are extremely clever - they tell it like it is!

Track 2: Roll With It
A superb track, which proves variety as well as quality in the album. The straining vocals of Liam Gallagher make this track marvellous, and the occasional guitar solo from Noel Gallagher improves the track further.

Track 3: Wonderwall
This is one of my favourite records of all time. A beginning which blends tinny, acoustic steel-string guitars with Double-bass and drums is genius, the lyrics are very clever, and Liam's vocals are perfect for the track. You should buy the album just plainly for this track.

Track 4: Don't Look Back In Anger
A mix of John Lennon, and Noel Gallagher at the beginning of the track gets it off to a flying start. Once again, guitars, drums, piano, bass guitars, all mixed into one beautiful Oasis classic. Lyrics famously used on the terraces in football grounds across the world - unbelievable.

Track 5: Hey Now
Not saying that this track is bad, but compared to the other tracks on the album, this is probably the worst song on the album. It seems a track which has been slightly rushed, but it's still very good. The vocals of the belting Liam Gallagher remain strong.

Track 6:
Very short, simple guitar.

Track 7: Some Might Say
A classic track which combines powerful vocals and lyrics with beautiful guitar distortion. Lyrics are all cleverly written (once again) but this time have the ability to touch everyone in a certain way.

Track 8: Cast no Shadow
How do you some up a track like this? A smooth, easy-listening track which is calm, relaxed and harmonic. Beautiful vocals and backing vocals - this track displays a soft, smooth, romantic side to Oasis.

Track 9: She's Electric
It starts brilliantly, it ends perfectly. A great mix of jazz piano and guitar, rolled into one track which lasts only three minutes and forty seconds. The lyrics are hilarious, easy to remember, and one of those tracks you are not ashamed to perform at a karaoke evening. The backing vocals are similar to the last track.

Track 10: Morning Glory
You'll remember this track for a long time. Guitar solos, powerful lyrics and vocals, and a beautifully paced tempo. This track is one that reveals a rash, dirty side to Oasis.

Track 11:
Quick track, which shows the talent of Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher.

Track 12: Champagne Supernova
This is one of the most beautiful, soothing records ever churned out by Oasis. A blend of guitar fuelled agression, which is evident from the beginning of the track. It's seven minutes of pure genius, as Oasis end an album which will be remembered forever.

A marvellous album, which is a must-buy CD for any Oasis fan. A marvellous, challenging mix of guitar, intense drumming, and powerful vocals. I can't explain the feeling you receive when you listen to an album of such quality. I seriously doubt Oasis will ever match the quality of "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 3 Jan 2008
A defining album for Oasis, and indeed the music world overall. There are many great tracks on here - to describe some of the best: Wonderwall is a stirring and touching song of a guy deeply in love with a girl that he can't seem to get. Then there is the iconic Don't Look Back In Anger, a song of both bitterness and hope, a tale of reflection on relationships both past, present and future. It's just fantastic to listen to - the sweeping lyrics, the drum work - it has to be heard to be believed. Some Might Say is a fine piece of work as well. Cast No Shadow is another great song, apparently dedicated to Richard Ashcroft of The Verve, and other songwriters everywhere. It's a song of frustration and sympathy, with great guitar work. All these songs are brilliant pieces of composure and performance, full of swirling emotion and passion.

However the album is not quite perfect. There is quite a bit of 'filler' - various other tracks are a bit dull to listen to, particularly the unnamed and fairly pointless 6 and 11, and lack some of the drive and direction of the better songs. This is only opinion of course; I know that many people like these songs.

But overall it's a fine album, one of the best around, and definitely worth buying. It is the band's best work, which was unfortunately followed up by the sloppy and aimless Be Here Now. Ignore that and hope that Oasis once again reach the highs they did with Morning Glory.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic release, 11 May 2003
An album that is one that is set to go down in music history – full of timeless gems like “Don’t Look Back in anger” and the fantastic “Wonderwall”. With songs like these featuring on the album, it’s hard for tracks like “Hey Now!” and “Roll with it” to live up to their high standard. However, the poignant “Cast No Shadow” and uplifting “She’s Electric” show that great songs run throughout the album despite a few dodgy tracks. There are points where you can hear Beatles influence, however this album is also proof that Oasis are musicians and songwriters in their own right and is probably the best of all their releases. Worth buying just for “Wonderwall” and “Don’t look back in anger” – if you liked those songs then you’ll love this album as most of the songs follow suit.
