(What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

(What's The Story) Morning Glory? was Oasis' second effort at an album, and it is a mighty fine one at that. It may even challenge Definitely Maybe as their best album for some people. It does indeed contain two of the best and most influential Oasis songs of all time, with top of the list being Track 3 - Wonderwall, without much doubt, followed by the excellent track 4 - Don't Look Back In Anger. Aside from these two timeless classics, there is ...
...Track 10 - Morning Glory, the title track, both of which are quite excellent also. Other favourites of mine on this album include track 8 - Cast No Shadow and Track 12 - Champagne Supernova. Aside from all these great tunes there is also track 1 - Hello, which is good if a little unoriginal, track 2 which is Roll With It, another great success for the band, and 5, Hey Now, and 9, She's Electric. Also in there, in somewhat of a padding role, are ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

"Cast No Shadow." "Champagne Supernova." "Wonderwall". " Don't Look Back in Anger." These aren't just pop songs but timeless classics and it's really no coincidence that they're all contained on Whats The Story Morning Glory, the pinnacle of British music in the 1990's. The album has a very unique romantic air, as opposed to the very audacious debut "Definitely Maybe". The band made fantastic instrumental progression throughout the course of the ...
...performance, upholding his reputation as the most charismatic frontman of the decade. Despite the mischief, trouble and media attention, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a more soulful and focused vocalist. The songwriting can be worldly at times, lazy at others, but these 10 songs are a landmark achievement for Noel, the working man's poet laureate. "Hey Now!" and "Hello" supply the CD with mystique and magic whereas " Some Might Say" and "Morning ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

Oasis and Blur were in battle at the time this album was released. Roll With It and Country House battled it in the singles charts, with Blur’s Britpop number going in at number one, with Oasis right behind at number two. That was how far the battle went really, as Oasis won the war of the albums. Where The Great Escape by Blur didn’t really have much of an impact, Oasis’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? Did excellently. I am not sure about how ...
...million I should think, and probably a lot more now! This is really no surprise! This album is now considered a classic by most top magazines and music critics. This, Oasis’s second album has the correct mixture of songs to make a good album. It kicks off with Hello, ‘It’s good to be back’ Liam sings, and yes it certainly is! Everyone has heard of Roll With It, everyone has heard of Wonderwall, and Don’t Look Back in Anger, and Morning Glory, ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

...it for months on end. (What's The Story) Morning Glory is one of those godly albums. Possibly the best one. Every track seems to improve on the last. The album opens with the charged 'Hello'. Power and excitement ooze from the band, and the song makes an immediate impression, setting the tone for things to come. 'Roll With It' is a classic Oasis track - sublime guitar, roaring vocals and a raw energy. A perfect build up to their biggest hit. 'Wonderwall' ...
...soul in each second of music. From electric anthems, to classic hits, to perfect lyrics to slower, stupendously good songs, (What's The Story) Morning Glory had everything. I've run out of words to describe just how good this album is. If you don't have it yet, you need it. Now. ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

This is the album that has spawned anthems that can be belted out by a bunch of boozy locals and still feel equally as satisfying echoing the walls the worlds most grand stadiums. The important thing to keep in mind is that while this is not definately maybe, this is a completley fresh album, and that while it doesnt quite hit the peaks of DM it remains arragant in a way Be Here Now took too much advantage of. For me, it is the perfect melting ...
...heavens. Although apart from the title track (referencing heavy drug use) the lyrics's are mental and self admitedly generally mean nolthing, each song leaves you wondering, and eventually you enjoy them so much you interperet your own meanings. From the starting line Hello delivers the goods although shamelessly robbing from the most un flattering source, ''Hello, Its Good To Be Back'' thankfully is now associated with The Brothers From Manc rather ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

6 years on from its original release in '95 this album is still as good as it was back then and is still a regular in my CD player. Its a classic. (whats the Story) Morning Glory? came out at the hight of the brit pop craze of the mid nineties and to me is the album that defines the times. Its undoubtedly Oasis' number one album with only 'Definately Maybe' coming close. The album shows the Gallagher brothers music writing and performing off to ...
...and solos backed with excellent, well thought out, lyrics. The songs clearly take a big influce from the work of the Beatles and john Lennon with 'Dont Look Bakc In Anger' taking its opening basically from Lennons classic 'Imagine'. But this is no critism of the album with every song being good enough to be a single and with the totally brilliant 'She's electric' and the classic ballard 'Champagne Supernova' this album will 'Live Forever' (oh wrong ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

'Some might say, that sunshine follows thunder'. If 'Definitely Maybe' was the thunder which signalled Oasis' entrance to the big time, 'Morning Glory' was certainly the sunshine that followed. A perfect album, in every respects, even the nostalgic wave of appreciation caused by Kurt Cobain's death for Nirvana's Nevermind cannot knock this masterpiece from it's thrown as album of the '90's. Opening with the Gary Glitter sampled 'Hello', 'Morning ...
...minutes from which you are taken from the heights and sounds of tunes such as 'Some Might Say' to the depths and wallowing delight of 'Champagne Supernova'. Such is the album's brilliance, I've even produced a breakdown: 1. Hello Hello indeed, and a more pleasant greeting you cannot find as Liam's snarling vocals welcome you to the album 2. Roll With It An infectious chorus with guitar led verses. Beautiful 3. Wonderwall Brilliant acoustically, ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

Living in London during that year I was struck by how inescapable Oasis were then. You’d go into the Underground and a busker would be singing "Wonderwall", you’d go to the pub and "Some Might Say" would be cranking out of the jukebox, you’d walk down the street and school kids would be chanting "Roll With It". Turn on the TV and there’s Liam spouting off about how Oasis is "The Best Band in the World" . Turn on the radio and Noel’s hosting his own ...
...the music papers, mind you, but even the London Times) - the Gallagher Brothers’ every movement is chronicled in exhaustive detail. It was almost enough to make you swear off Oasis completely, if this album weren’t just so incredibly great. From the opening feedback on "Hello", to the closing crystalline chords of "Champagne Supernova", every song is beautifully constructed and catchy as heck. There’s something for every mood - incendiary rockers ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

I cannot stand the Gallagher brothers Noel & Liam; I find them big headed, arrogant, conceited & opinionated. But, they do make good music & this classic album from 1995 must stand out as the best album of the 1990s & the best work Oasis have ever produced. The track listing is: Hello Roll with it Wonderwall Don't look back in anger Hey now! Some might say Cast no shadow She's electric Morning glory Champagne supernova There are also two ...
...in between. This album has no filler tracks, no duds, just classic music tracks from start to finish. Well written, well played, well produced even the lyrics are quite good; there is a touch of late Beatles in this album which is not surprising considering the influence the Beatles had on the brothers. For me, the highlight of this album is the first four tracks, with 'Wonderwall' head & shoulders above all the rest. It even ends of a high with ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

Quite simply an outstanding album. It's not just their best ever but one of the all time great albums. What’s The Story Morning Glory was the first album that I bought, aged 10 and I haven't found a better one yet. This is a rare case of every song being hit single quality, that you can listen to again and again. I have heard several people with completely different music tastes say they liked. The album starts with the anthemic Hello and Roll With ...
...Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova remind you that this is a band that will still be listened to in 50 years time. My personal favourite is Champagne Supernova though it’s so hard to choose. The song begins with gentle guitar and lyrics and builds to a euphoric crescendo. All of the songs feature the great sing along choruses that Oasis are renowned for, the best perhaps being Wonderwall, Morning Glory and Some Might say. It's hard ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

this album appears slower and more accoustic driven than the raw punky spirit of the first. The music press loved it but I prefer it when they speed it up. This album is full of slow dreamy melodies like the number 1 single wonderwall and cast no shadow, but songs like the title track Whats the story and she's electric show Oasis doing what they're good at, cranking up the volume and giving it some. In the end though it is a wonderful mix of slow ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

As far as I'm concerned Oasis' best album to date. Oasis are made up of Liam and Noel Gallacher (brothers), Gem Archer and Andy Bell. They provide a BritPop/Rock genre of music and have been active since 1991. It was this album that first got me into Oasis, hearing it in my Dads car around ten years ago. It contains many of their best ever hits, including Wonderwall (Reached no. 2), Don't Look Back In Anger (Reached no. 1) and Champagne Supernova. ...
...on many adverts, films and TV shows over the years, since the album was released in 1995. The album sold 347,000 copies in its first week, and over 20,000,000 worldwide to the present day. In 1997, it was named 5th greatest album ever in the "Music of the Millenium" poll, with 4 singles released in the UK, all reached at least number 2 in the charts. General Facts: - It is 50 minutes long - 12 tracks - Produced by Owen Morris and Noel gallacher ...

Review of (What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis

This 1995 Oasis release was the album which had everyone talking at the time. It was a must have album then, and if you ask me it should be a must have album now. It is Oasis at their best. If you don't think much of them now and have never heard this then do so, as it will probably make you reconsider. The album is basically ten tracks with two small, untitled instrumentals bridging gaps. The tracks are top quality soundwise, although Noel Gallagher's ...
...The tracks are well ordered. "Hello" is the natural starting point and "Champagne Supernova" is a rousing climax. Add in "Roll With It", "Wonderwall" and a lot more quality tracks and you have what was for me the album of the 1990s. Varied is so many ways, it is brilliant and to try and describe the sound leaves you searching for words. You just know it sounds great. It was brilliant when it was released and it still sounds just as good today. ...

I have been a fan of Oasis since......well forever. What's the story morning glory was Oasis's second album and with NME only giving the album 7/10 you would have thought this would not do as well as their first. What's the story morning glory got to number 1 in the charts and stayed there for 10 weeks, making it the 3rd biggest selling album in the uk charts with sales of 4.6 million copies. I found,and still do have this album on my ipod, the album ...
...as many others. My favourite tracks are Champagne Supernova and the classic unforgettable Wonderwall. Everytime i listen to this album it just brings back memories of better days and im soon filled with a warm glow. If your a fan of Oasis and you dont have this album then shame on you. If you are a fan of this pericular style of music or just simple have a open array of musical taste then What's the story morning glory is a must for your collection. ...
