THE REVIEW

Here we are in front of Definitely Maybe, the first album by Oasis, but let's start talking about this album... the CD opens with Rock 'n' Roll Star, a stupid and banal track that does nothing to improve the work. It continues with Shakermaker, another useless and sycophantic piece to carry on this ''Project'' pointlessly...

The rest of the album is more or less always the same melody repeated endlessly, and even tracks that seem more captivating like Supersonic ultimately turn out to be boring and repetitive. I don't like Oasis... I admit this... but this work is really terrible and dull. Still, this is my opinion, but it's up to you to decide whether to buy the work or not.

 This album is just noise, and nothing more.

 Maybe I’ve been a bit harsh, but every time I try to listen to this CD, I get a headache...

 Oasis are not innovators, they don’t experiment, they just want to hit you with simple songs that are instant classics and stick to your ears and heart at first listen.

 Definitely Maybe is a condensation of the best English music produced from the sixties to the early ’70s, with maximal guitar and vocal volumes, psychedelia, violence, and candor merging in the grooves of DM.


By Marko89

 It’s listenable, but it’s certainly not a “timeless” or a “masterpiece” as I’ve heard some say.

 Oasis did better in the later years which is why they remain one of my favorite bands.

 "The first song is 'Rock'N'Roll Star,' a historic piece by Oasis, which delivers a great adrenaline rush."

 "'Bring It On Down' expresses all the anger of the English working class, which is kindly invited to 'destroy it.'"


By Lito

 "Perhaps this judgment is also influenced by the fact that in the 10 years that followed, Oasis shifted gears musically and captivated us with albums of a vastly different level."

 "Track number three is indeed 'Live Forever': a great song that became the true anthem of a generation."
