Free Music Review: One of the 90's top albums
Hit: 5 Stars
Music, like movies, tends to go into a lot of phases with many people latching onto a certain genre or artist deeming them the saviors that will rid the taste left in our mouth of the predecessors. With the drugs and excess and party-with-every-and-any-girl lyrics of the 80's metal bands, in comes the so-called "grunge" movement which was more introverted and coming from a place of hurt and angst. In comes Oasis during the so-called "Brit rock" movement which dealt with more uplifting matters like the love of rock and roll music. Sure it's derivative but who gives a you-know-what when it's a top record from top to bottom.
Hello: Fading in with the Wonderwall chord progression, the song then transforms into a big rousing rock track with loud guitar chords, Liam's trademark vocals and while it's not really single material, it gets the album to a big start. 8/10
Roll With It: One of the catchiest tracks on the album and one of my favorites. What makes it standout is just that it's one of the more upbeat and livelier tracks to listen to and one can imagine doing a road trip with this blasting. 9/10
Wonderwall: Let's face it: you're bound to have heard this at some point. From its memorable chord progression to its tasteful use of piano at the end and cello during the verses, this is definately one of the 90's best songs. Small but irrevelant complaint: it does that typical Oasis outro of repeating the chorus then repeating it again then again but without lyrics. But again, no harm done. 9.5/10
Don't Look Back in Anger: Well they always said they were just as good as them and so we have an "Imagine"-esque piano intro before the song starts. Sung this time by Noel, he showcases his more range-y vocals which are different than Liam's more emotive ones. All in all another great song and the chorus soars. 9.5/10
Hey Now!: Not really a big fan of this one, it just sort of plods along and even though it's loud, it doesn't have the fun qualities of Roll With It or even rock-with-your-****-out quality of Rock N' Roll Star from Definately Maybe. But I guess every classic has a dud now and then. 6/10
Untitled Track(The Swamp Song): It's basically a really quick (44 seconds) ditty of a distorted riff over a solo. An alright piece on its own but in the context of the album, it's kind of useless so I can't really rate something this short. n/a
Some Might Say: A big loud rock song and another one that's uplifting and sing-along ready and even though the lyrics are kind of wtf? ("sink's full of dirty fishes, she's got dirty dishes on the brain") it's still a great tune. But then again that repetitive outro curse happens again which lasts well over a minute. 8/10
Cast No Shadow: It's strange to say a song's by Oasis is "beautiful" but it's a great ballad with some wonderful use of background vocals, Liam's vocals and I don't think it was a single but radio would've killed it anyway so it worked out in a weird way. 8.5/10
She's Electric: A weird country rock feel with a more stomping beat and it's one of those weird cases where a song sounds fun to listen to only it doesn't really stay in your head. It's another Hey Now!-type song so meh. 6/10
Morning Glory: One of the most underrated songs on the album. While I don't like the rather noisy mix, it's hard not to get swept up in the energy and dare you not to belt out that chorus along with Liam. That siren sounding guitar line kind of ruins it halfway though. 9/10
(Untitled Track): Another rather useless track with sounds of running water and faint rock riffs and solos in the background. Meh. N/A
Champagne Supernova: I think I can safely say this song is simply one, if not their absolute best and while other tracks might hold your attention for awhile, it doesn't have the staying power this one has. Sure lyrically it's kind of nonsensical but musically and vocally this is an absolute classic for sure. 10/10
Couple of duds and iffy tracks but what's surprising is that the hits just seem to keep coming and arrogance aside and criticisms (some of them warranted mind you), can't deny they are a good band and this album proves it.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? Poster
This big rock candy mountain of an album justifies some if by no means all of the poses and pretentious statements made by Manchester's natural-born rock & roll deities. A dramatic attempt to rekindle the flames of the original British Invasion, Morning Glory rolls 30 years of Britpop tradition into one irresistible (if achingly self-conscious) whole. "Wonderwall" can be read as a Beatles tribute, "Don't Look Back in Anger" feels like a Mott The Hoople anthem and "She's Electric" and "Morning Glory" are chewy pop confections. --Jeff BatemanAlternative Rock Music CDs
