It’s the big one. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is a record that captures the nineties Britpop. It crossed Oasis from British indie to one of the biggest bands on the planet.
From “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” to the closing track “Champagne Supernova.” It’s a time capsule that still feels contemporary.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? takes listeners back to a time in Oasis’ history full of turmoil and chaos within the band. They had many a break up, make up and carry on during the tour. What’s left behind with this record is pure indie turned pop, a precursor to punk turning pop, what makes a great record is undeniable and this album is a glimpse at nineties perfection.
It’s got a ton of hits, starts strong with “Hello,” has many movements including the near acoustic orchestral “Wonderwall,” and finishes in the twilight with “Champagne Supernova.”
While different from their first record Definitely Maybe, the sun never sets on their second studio album. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? lives eternal, a pop music jewel of its time and good music forever.
