Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2007-06-08 08:56:00 It's deeply distressing to think of the global warming resulting from Oasis' existence - the oil used to make their hugely cr@ppy albums, the fuel burnt by their tour bus/plane, the distance travelled by their fans to see them. Their first 2 albums are among the most bewilderingly overrated collections of 'tunes' in the history of humanity. ThisĀ is even worse, worthy of a minus rating. I guess 1 star will have to do.

Summary: 2001-04-21 00:00:00 This is the problem with people. They don't give artists time to develop. Oasis rippin off the beatles is a lazy comparison. They don't sound like the beatles but it's the easiest thing to say for lack of experience. This is album you have to think was writtin durin 3 divorces,2 guitarists leaving, quiting drugs, 2 kids and many other things. This album is not there best effort but non the less an Oasis classic.

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2001-01-30 00:00:00 This album is terrible. They seem to think that because they are so popular they can now come out with any old drivel.And yes, its obvious that they are trying to be like the Beatles, but fail enormously. (by the way, the Beatles are still popular)

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2001-01-10 00:00:00 Noel Gallagher is a good songwriter, but he's no David Gray. If you want to hear a killer album check out 'White Ladder' by Gray. It will blow you away!!

Summary: 2000-10-16 00:00:00 Just kidding!!!! I wouldn't give any of their music a five star rating even if Paul McCartney himself told me to do it.

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2000-06-22 00:00:00 never heard it but the album's title struck me as very appropriate--oasis has actually admitted to trying to copy the beatles and ride on their coattails. if you have to copy, why not copy a band that WOULD be popular nowadays?

Summary: 2000-03-29 00:00:00 Even though I have never heard this it has to suck. If I get a chance to hear any of the songs on this album I will come back and rate it a 1.
