HAPPY 30 YEARS! DEFINITELY MAYBE "OASIS" Full Album Reaction/Review

Wow what a turn of events, the boys are back and touring together again in 2025. An incredible moment for music and especially for Oasis fans. A couple of years ago I checked out "What's the Story (Morning Glory) for the first time and it was such a joy to sit through and experience what made this band so special. It has always been in my interest to go back to their famous debut "Definitely Maybe" and this feels like the perfect time as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album whilst announcing their comeback shows

[@DowManDichter]

It’s hard to explain how much these first 2 albums mean to people that grew up in UK in the 90s. Two of the best, and most influential albums ever written.

[@davidjeffery3532]

What a stunning album

[@jdbmd1499]

One of the best debut albums of all time. Top 10 90s album

[@new_mercury5367]

I was a kid living in Manchester in 1994 when this came out. I didn't really have my own taste in music just whatever my Mum had on. I saw and heard Supersonic on Top Of The Pops and that was it! My Mum got me the Definitely Maybe cassette and it changed my taste in music going forward and it made me an album listener. To this day, even with the way the world is now with streaming etc I'm an album guy and it's all thanks to this. I've see Noel love and Liam live but not Oasis.... until next year!

[@luizarthurbrito]

This albums energy goes twice as hard live

[@bagelq2028]

Your harmonizing with Liam on honestly works great ❤ Fantastic album listen

[@riquiffer]

Wowww was not expecting this, goated album. Listened to it live last month on Liam's concert, it was a fantastic experience. Seeing all those people singing their hearts out in the crowd really makes you understand why those songs speak to so many. That being said, still expecting for that Blur reactionnn🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@stewartmitchell8007]

Awesome fella.dma's are pretty popular in the UK Jack.

[@jdbmd1499]

DMA'S are solid. A lot of great Australian bands last 10 years

[@geewaf]

always good to see these reviews - keep 'em coming!

[@jerrunholt5571]

Id reccomend "the masterplan". Its not a studio album, but its a compilation of all their B sides that didnt make thr albums. From 94-96 Noel Gallagher was writing so many great songs, and he wasted alot of them in just B sides. Masterplan, Acquiesce, Head Shrinker, Listen Up, Underneath the Sky, Rockin chair are all fantastic songs that didnt reach the studio albums

[@jerrunholt5571]

Aquiesce is unique for being one of few oasis songs to have Noel and Liam alternate with the lesd vocals Knebworth is also a mental concert to watch. To just watch a crowd of 150k people all just going for it in unision. You wont find many artist who have done what oasis did. Formed in 91, took off a few years later, became the biggest band in the planet, and then burned out after album 3 lol

[@adamhearne2825]

They’d released three singles (maybe 4 not sure if cigs and alc was released as a single yet) by the point it was released and it went straight to number 1 and became the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK.

[@stroketheboat]

Stunning album, full of Absolute Bangers - i was around 17-18 when this album came out and it was such a massive part of my summer that year. Oasis were everything the UK music industry needed - musical oomph, swagger, grit, relevance, driving tunes, thumping drums, brilliant riffs, attitude, gravitas and presence. Still love this album, have been listening for over 30 years on repeat!

[@spencergadoury]

So happy they’re back together! I’ve got tickets to see them in Toronto next year I can’t wait!!

[@dmayres]

I grew up listening to this band, I was 10 years old when I first heard What's the Story Morning Glory, but this is my favourite of their albums. Fortunate enough to have seen them live in 2006 and 2009, and the atmosphere is simply electric. PS I love the DMA's

[@dangerousdave85]

Up In The Sky is so underrated. Absolute belter

[@jerrunholt5571]

Oasis in the mid 90s was pure rock n roll. Unsophistacted, rude and arrogant as fuck, but sounded cooler than anything else, and backed their attitudes up

[@wizardz4551]

Since u like DM and WTSMG u should listen to the b-sides from them cos a fair few of them are better than the a-sides. They have an album called ‘The master plan’ which has most of them but there are others u will have to listen to separately.

[@roryorafferty345]

Love your cat! My feline buddy passed away two years ago, but he loved Radiohead and REM. He'd cuddle up to the speakers when they were playing.

[@tetehenkes]

What a beautiful kitty cat! Also love myself some Oasis❤

[@Tim1999]

Thanks for doing this! It's my favourite album, got me into music when I was young, loved the energy and the attitude. Still hoping to get tickets to see them again.

[@liamwarwick2710]

best album ever produced

[@gabrielmartins9884]

I was really expecting for this

[@LambriniSupernova]

Great reaction. DMA's are quality. Delete was pretty big in UK and their cover of Believe by Cher us biblical. You gotta check out Be Here Now next. Strap in though if you do, it's an epic album. Very long. Keep up the good work

[@thetourist6256]

not surprised you weren't blown away if you listened to morning glory first. there isn't much variety on definitely maybe, and there isn't much songwriting going on. I mean, for most of the songs they couldn't even be bothered to write a second verse ffs ^^ but, in the early 90s, there wasn't anything like this. there was artsy stuff and inaccessible alternative rock and worn out classic rock, but this... this was like the first rave, just at the opposite side of the spectrum. that raw energy, that punk swagger, pure rocknroll. most of us hadn't heard anything like this before. personally, I still haven't heard anything like it since. definitiely my favourite oasis album. you probably didn't have it loud enough :P

[@girgameth8031]

GOAT debut album, imo much better than Morning Glory (which still rocks)

[@CJM44]

Better but not MUCH better…

[@smoshbooz]

Yeah absolutely. I'm a step further and say this is their only decent album that feels honest and not sold out whiny radio rock

[@MrOasis316]

@@smoshbooznah I love their first three albums to death. This is their best album though

[@jerrunholt5571]

Reunion so far is Noel, Liam, Bone head (3rd most important member, a big part of oasis sound being what it was), Zac Starkey (ringos son), and I think Gem Archer (was in the hand in rh3 past)

[@themadcow71]

My brother I want you to listen to Beck - Sea Change. Great reaction young legend!

[@HudsonB-pd3ud]

Awesome video man!!! Definitely recommend listening to Long Season by Fishmans!!!

[@dannybhoy2625]

You need to try they're B sides album The Masterplan, some of they're best work

[@elainecannon24]

Ah the nostalgia! Married with Children is definitely what we would call a dis track today. I think they released Supersonic and possibly Shakermaker ahead of this album. The third single was Live Forever by which time album was out which was a shame because LF would probably have been or should have been their first No1. The first no. 1 was Some Might Say.

[@ClaireWW]

Married with children is a song about Noels feelings about Liam, and then getting Liam to sing it. Liam was too dim to realise he was singing about himself.

[@softarballt1825]

Hey Jack! Can I recommend a band for you to listen? There is a band called "Motoroma" and I think you might like their sound. Thanks for all the videos you make by the way, they are entertaining to watch.

[@coopdevilla5447]

Perfect album

[@jonathanrodriguez6879]

Cast No Shadow has some beautiful falsettos

[@jerrunholt5571]

Man you skipped my fsvorite part of RNR star "youre not down with who I am, look at you know you're all in my hands tonight" followed by the sick ass solo

[@fareedmohamud]

Listen to The Free Nationals album PLEASE YOU WONT REGRET

[@PairyKurta]

Could you react to The Smiths? please!

[@PairyKurta]

would love to see you do their entire discography if you like them.

[@nswaddup]

DMA’s are great mate!!

[@online2000.]

Liam stopped doing the falsettos because he felt it was "too gay" LOL so he got Noel to do them

[@ganjiblobflankis6581]

The second album sold more, but it didn't top this for pure rock and roll.

[@ilovefacebookandebay]

Hi. The press nicknamed them The Sex Beatles. The two bands Oasis love the most.

[@stefanosg1432]

You should do Parklife by Blur, it came out around the same time as this, imagine listening to both for a year or so and then The Bends drops... That'll give you a good idea of what it was like growing up in the early 90s.

[@bucky7162]

Funny you say because Liam Gallagher starts his solo concerts with rock n roll star 😊🎉

[@ReubenTutin]

Dmas big in England too

[@S-jq1yk]

All their songs sounded the same, but the first two albums are wonderful

[@kylevanbockel1957]

Its not my everyday listening kind of music but im hyped for their new album if they do make one and will look out for your reaction eagerly haha. No better way to be introduced to it.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

Apparently the album is already done according to Liam

[@nswaddup]

Do you like them live? Check them on some live reactions 🔥

[@jerrunholt5571]

Morning glory imo isnt quite as good. The biggest hits are there, but its production isnt as good and its not as consistant. Definitely maybe is one of the coolest albums of the 90s, but tbf the variety isnt really there like it is with morning glory Glory has rock songs, ballads, a fun beatleseqsue song, some absolute classics while definitely maybe is just rock, rock, rock, rock, one of the best rock songs ever in live forever, rock, rock, married with children. So if you want variety, maybe go for morning glory, but I personally prefer the energy and vibe of definitely maybe

[@smoshbooz]

Tbh this is Oasis' only good album. The only one that sounds honest and not a selling out to boring, cheesy radio soft rock

[@CHFC24734]

I agree this one is better, but calling what’s the story boring is a bit disingenuous

[@CHFC24734]

Heathen chemistry is also very decent too imo

[@runningsuperska]

It's a great album, but I'd only be excited if I was 13 again listening to this album for the first time again. They are past it.
