Product Description

From Amazon.com

This big rock candy mountain of an album justifies some if by no means all of the poses and pretentious statements made by Manchester's natural-born rock & roll deities. A dramatic attempt to rekindle the flames of the original British Invasion, Morning Glory rolls 30 years of Britpop tradition into one irresistible (if achingly self-conscious) whole. "Wonderwall" can be read as a Beatles tribute, "Don't Look Back in Anger" feels like a Mott The Hoople anthem and "She's Electric" and "Morning Glory" are chewy pop confections. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy follow-up to the brilliant 'Definitely Maybe', May 5 2001

This review is from: (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (Audio CD)

The critics abhor it, the fans adore it. Whatever your take on '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' is, you cannot fail to be impressed by its commercial success. It is no 'Thriller', but only a puny minority of albums manage to shift over 3 million copies in the UK alone. This figure is, if nothing else, a clear indication to one of the almost unique ability possessed by Oasis to get into the public domain, hence their extraordinary sales figures. Noel's sing-a-long, 'Wonderwall', has been adopted by vagabonds and buskers on a nationwide scale-a rather uncanny and ironic tibute to such a masterpiece-and 'Don't Look Back In Anger', which borrows 'its' opening chords from John Lennon's 'Imagine', is destined to become an all-time classic. The rousing 'Champagne Supernova' and melodic 'Cast No Shadow' are other notable highlights, but yet it is the overall consistency of the album which really sets it apart from 'The Great Escape', for example. The work of rival indie bands is often erratic-one minute it is sublime, the next it is ridiculous. The air of consistenty about the material released by Oasis ought to ensure them longevity as a band, but then there is the small matter of the Gallagher brothers and their erratic, ridiculous behavior... . Nevertheless: Blur better than Oasis-whatever; Oasis the best band in the world-definitely maybe!

This CD makes me feel wonderful. If you're a new Oasis fan, this one is a necessity to own-buy it first. Personal favourite songs: She's Electric, Wonderwall, and Some Might Say. Great music for speeding on the highway with the windows rolled down and the wind in your hair. BUY IT.
