THE REVIEW
This CD never appealed to me; I bought it after (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and was extremely disappointed. This album is just noise, and nothing more. The only noteworthy songs are Live Forever and Supersonic; the rest of the tracks are just endless guitar riffs as background to Liam's droning. As soon as I bought this CD, it was mercilessly tossed aside... The songs all sound alike, and among other things, they are truly all terrible: too much noise and too few ideas... From Rock 'n' Roll Star, which opens the CD, to Married With Children, you just want to skip the songs, a real mess.
I know many consider this CD to be wonderful, but I'd like to know how they came up with such nonsense... Definitely the later works are better; this one should be avoided like the plague. To give it two stars, I've only considered the 2 released singles, the only tracks worth saving, and placed a hand on my heart. Maybe I've been a bit harsh, but every time I try to listen to this CD, I get a headache...

Summary by Bot
The reviewer expresses strong disappointment with Oasis's Definitely Maybe, describing it as noisy and lacking creativity. Only two tracks, Live Forever and Supersonic, are considered worthwhile. The rest of the album feels repetitive and unpleasant, especially compared to the band's later releases.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

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.

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."
By Kenny
"The Gallagher brothers couldn’t care less about your criticisms, they don’t give a damn about your damn criticisms!"
"This album is devastating, beautiful, powerful, the best album of the ’90s."
