Oasis: The cool sound of the 90's

Review Score:

(10/10)
Oasis emerged out of the woodwork in a sudden moment in mid-1994 to become one of the most remarkable rock bands in recent memory.

It was this album, Definitely Maybe, that started Oasis-mania; or in graver terms, the new britpop invasion of the world.

Definitely Maybe is definitely a classic. Noel Gallagher, the band's lead guitarist and songwriter, gives out one classic song after another. Whether it's the cool rock phenomena of Supersonic and Live Forever, the best composition Noel has written over the past 10 years. Fan favorites Columbia, Rock 'N Roll Star, Shakermaker, and Slide Away all have equal power to blow you away. The roof raising Up In The Sky is yet another example of Noel's writing genius. The low key but very blunt and funny Married With Children is the album closer leaving the listener with a nice tune to bid farewell to this rock epic before pressing the play button again!
Liam Gallagher, Noel's younger brother who also happens to be the band's vocalist frontman, is probably one of the best rock vocalists of the past twenty years. His voice shines on tracks like Slide Away, Live Forever, and Married With Children.

Today, Oasis are still a force to be reckoned with in the british charts, but elsewhere, their magnifying glory has either washed away or stumbled a bit. There's always Definitely Maybe and the follow up What's The Story Morning Glory to remind people that these guys aren't just some one hit wonders. They are in fact, in the Gallaghers' words, "the best band in the world"
