Oasis

Definitely Maybe

" Rock and Roll Stars " they once were indeed

Review Score:

(8/10)
Debut albums are always the best ones . Most bands tend to put all of their passion and love for music in their first work . Maybe it's because they are not yet known so they don't know what to excpect from the future . Oasis are a living example of the above. Their first offering , seven years after it's release still sounds extremelly fresh and powerfull . That's not to say that today they aren't a talented gang but they seem more interested in gaining back their old status and glamour than to express themselfs artistically . Definetely Maybe was a truly stunning rock record . It had guts in the lyrics , personallity in the sound and a tricky but fascinating voice , really different from everything else we heard before. " Live Forever " is one of these rare , uplifting songs that rock bands have a hard time releasing today . Same goes for " Supersonic " where Liam provides vibrations of confidence to all of his listeners by simply being a bud who "...needs to be himself " . My favourite track though is " Married with children " . It includes some deliciously cynical lyrics singed with a cool style which makes you wish you could be as direct with people in your real life as well . Even if Oasis never get to be at the top of the charts again I'm glad they had the chance to be famous around the world , even for a while . Otherwise how would i have discovered this great album ?
