Oasis: Noel Gallagher (vocals, guitar, E-Bow, piano, Mellotron); Liam Gallagher (vocals); Paul Arthurs (guitar, piano, Mellotron); Paul McGuigan (bass); Alan White (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Paul Weller (guitar, background vocals); Tony McCarroll (drums).
Recorded at Rockfield Studios, South Wales, United Kingdom.
Wonderwall was nominated for 1997 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
The state of English popular music in the mid-'90s will be looked back upon as a time when groups like Blur, Supergrass and Oasis rode the UK charts with a style (nicknamed Brit-Pop by that country's press) that fused the 1960s pop aesthetic of the Beatles, Kinks and Small Faces with the flamboyance and cocksuredness of T. Rex and the Buzzcocks. But (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY? is a more tempered follow-up to Oasis' 1994 debut, DEFINITELY MAYBE, the band having gone from enfant terrible to dreamy romantic this time round. Oasis has also crossed the Atlantic this time; (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY has made the band a major U.S. success.
Toning down the brattiness, Oasis guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher brings minimal orchestration into the mix, while still mining for inspiration in the past. A buzzing amp cues up the opening cut, Hello, before giving way to a thunderous rocker that credits Gary Glitter as a co-writer by way of a line lifted from his Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again. The innovative use of strings on songs like Cast No Shadow, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger avoids any mawkishness, leaning more towards a melancholy sheen. Such ambitious chance-taking turns Don't Look Back In Anger into a grand epic that has singer Liam Gallagher sounding like Ian Hunter to brother Noel's Mick Ronson.
All these external tools do nothing to detract from Oasis' ability to play rock and roll with a religious fervor. The first version of The Swamp Song (the untitled track 6) is a bluesy, instrumental rave-up complete with a wailing harmonica that sounds unlike anything they've done before. It's followed by Some Might Say, a sweeping epic layered with chunky riffs. While new pal Paul Weller's guitar lends some grit to Champagne Supernova, the best song on MORNING GLORY is She's Electric, a '90s equivalent to Itchycoo Park with the end-chorus of With A Little Help From My Friends grafted onto it.

Oasis: Liam Gallagher (vocals); Noel Gallagher (guitar, background vocals); Bonehead (guitar); Guigsy (bass); Whitey (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Johnny Depp (slide guitar); Mark Feltham (harmonica); Mike Rowe (keyboards); Mark Coyle (programming).
Recorded between November 1996 and April 1997.
All Around The World was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.
Shamelessly enamored of The Beatles, Oasis uses BE HERE NOW to serve up another heaping platter of larger-than-life rock and roll garnished with Fab Fourisms. Noel Gallagher's ambitious songwriting and production (which, not coincidentally, was done at Abbey Road) result in an average song length of almost six minutes and the full, gnarly guitar sound that's become Oasis' trademark. Magic Pie and All Around The World incorporate brassy orchestration reminiscent of Let It Be, while the former's name seems a less-than-subtle nod to Macca's FLAMING PIE album released a few months prior.
Aside from the band's constant worship at the Beatles shrine, Gallagher occasionally draws from other sources, sharply addressing the uncertainty of fame with the slam-bang rock and roll of I Hope, I Think, I Know and the latter-day Stone Roses sound of Fade In-Out which prominently features guest Johnny Depp's slide guitar. With their nemesis Blur busy trolling the noisy depths of lo-fi, American indie rock, BE HERE NOW proves to be another jewel in the crown of Brit-pop, which is now perched more firmly than ever on the collective, if occasionally swollen, head of Oasis.
