The Album Review Club - Week #127 - (page 1545) - Definitely Maybe - Oasis

[hilts]

I really do.

I find most songs on MG just so ‘poppy’ and basic, also overplayed. I struggle to listen to Wonderwall, She’s Electric and Champagne Supernova nowadays - they went full Pop which for me was a bit disappointing in hindsight , but can’t really blame them for cashing in.

Whereas Definitely Maybe and there B Sides, there sound was more loud, raw, heavy, bit more indie and psychedelic (Columbia/Supersonic/Bring It On Down) but ultimately more authentic- which is understandable considering Noel was writing these songs growing up poor in a council estate - by the time Morning Glory come about he was sipping champagne with Tony Blair.

I think die hard Oasis fans would go with DM but general music fans would go with MG.

Also, even if not a fan of theirs - the ‘Supersonic’ documentary film on Netflix is a really good watch.

Good songs get over played it shouldn't be used as a negative on the value of the song. I also don't get the general anti oasis stance, there volume of work stands up to almost anyone tbh.

Page can't be that high either - can't be having him higher than Hendrix..........

And what did Jimi say when asked…. Supposedly.
“I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”.



Allegedly.

Hand raised at the back of the room from the quiet Yank.

“Hi, yes. Thanks. I have a question. Um, do most Brits really rate Definitely Maybe above Morning Glory? I mean . . . really? Seriously? Are you sure? Ok . . . thank you.”

More later.

Obviously Morning Glory is better, it just suffers from Melody Maker disease. This is really popular so im not having it I'm far to edgy for that malarkey ta very much:-)

It’s not so much the overplaying. It’s how quickly or how much the shine goes off the original appeal.
That’s very much subjective.

That I don't have friends in my circle that are fans of Oasis.

'Fans of' being people that love their music enough to buy it or go to gigs. Nothing contentious in that, just an observation.

How are they on Kagagoogoo.

Too shy to say?

I clarified a few points to that post soon after.

And another thing, no Kagagoogoo, no wonderful bassist Mr Nick Beggs.

Whether you agree with your review or not - that is a terrific write up and I enjoyed reading that.

Just for clarity, is Heidi Klum keeping parts Seal the Pinniped in the fridge or Seal the artist in the fridge? :-)

Fingers in the fridge. Seals organs harvested. I imagined the singer - your imagination is much darker

I have to sometimes purposely not play things for a while, when Brothers by The Black Keys came out I played that bugger to death, pretty much everyday.
