Definitely Maybe

Damn Good Pub Rock

Review Score:

(8/10)
This album is one of the better rock albums of the 90s. It is tied with Morning Glory for their best album in my book. There are just so many standout songs you will rarely skip tracks. The album starts out rockin' with the pub rocker Rock 'n Roll Star, a song with a infectious chorus and nice guitar work. It is followed by the insanely catchy pop-rock Shakermaker. Next is one of the most overrated songs on the album, the epic Live Forever, not that is isn't a beautiful song that, in the tradition of this album, insanely catchy its just that some people think this is the best song of all-time. No way. Next is the soaring Up In the Sky which could have easily been a radio smash. Then, there is the most underated song on the album, Columbia, with its nice hook and weird sound experiments. Next the infectious hit Supersonic which has more clever rhymes in it than most rap artists nowadays. The pace is immeadiately jacked up with the fastest, heaviest song on the album Bring It On Down which is followed by one of the highlights of this album, the youth anthem Cigarettes and Alcohol. Then there is the only weak song on the album Digsy's Diner. Next is THE album highlight the epic ballad Slide Away, the song Live Forever wishes it was. Finally the dry humor of the only acoustic number Married With Children just puts this album over the top. A album that is recommended for everyone.
