    In spite of everything that Oasis would become on record, on stage, in the tabloids, Definitely Maybe stands above it all.

    Upon its release in 1994, Definitely Maybe sounded messy and thrilling. Now, of course, it sounds like a classic. [Jun 2014, p.127]

    This remains the Gallagher brothers' finest hour, and one of the great debuts of the last 20 years. [No. 109, p.57]

    Definitely Maybe is the sound of people who feel like they need to scream to be heard—and even then, the chances of anyone actually listening seems depressingly unlikely. And yet, not wholly impossible.

    Packaged with some afterthe-event boisterousness courtesy of Neil McCormick’s sleevenotes and a sprinkling of mythologising, Definitely Maybe remains classic enough.

    Don’t be surprised if this box set doesn’t drastically change your preconceived notions of what this already-iconic album is about, but for those who think the Gallagher’s never got better than this, consider this the only Oasis box set you will ever need.

    For those of us willing to succumb to a little bit of irony and absorb several hours' worth of Oasis stuff, here it is, and everyone else can join the Gallaghers of the world and complain amongst themselves.

This is where it all began and stands as a bench mark of what a great album should be. You probably already own this but if not then get it. This brought guitar music back to the masses and put simply is one of the best albums of all time. Expand

    Best Oasis album ever. Columbia, Rock N Roll Star and Live Forever promote the album to being on of the best throughout the 90's. AlthoughBest Oasis album ever. Columbia, Rock N Roll Star and Live Forever promote the album to being on of the best throughout the 90's. Although Cigarettes & Alcohol is blatantly stolen from T.Rex, Oasis still make it their own in addition to writing their own music. **** brilliant and one of the best albums of all time. Expand

This is more than just a rock or pop album, it takes you on a journey that is both evocative of a period in life, but also timeless. The range of songs is perfect too, starting with Rock n Roll Star and ending with Married With Children. Expand
