Going straight to No. 1 in the UK, where it is now over 7 times platinum, the album has sold over 8 million copies worldwide. \u003cspan class=\"sc-7dcfb11b-0 kVRnKf\"\u003eThirty years after the release of their captivating debut album, Oasis have announced they are reuniting – news that has delighted middle-aged fans and a whole new generation alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\"\u003eLike all great bands, Oasis has a history that is enshrined in rock 'n' roll folklore: from their serendipitous spotting by record exec Alan McGee after they gatecrashed the bill of a gig in Glasgow in 1993, to the moment that marked the end 16 years later when Liam Gallagher threw a piece of fruit at his brother Noel backstage in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDefinitely Maybe begins with a statement of aspiration, as \u003c\/span\u003eLiam Gallagher\u003cspan\u003e sneers that \"tonight, I'm a rock \u0026amp; roll star\" -- the words of a bedsit dreamer hoping he'd break out of those four walls and find something greater. Maybe all he could muster is a fleeting moment of stardom as he sings in front of a fleet of amps pushing out power chords, or perhaps he'd really become a rock \u0026amp; roll star; all that matters is he makes the leap. This dream echoes throughout Oasis' debut, a record which takes the dreams of its listeners every bit as seriously as those of its creators. Both the artist and audience desire something greater than their surroundings, and that yearning gives Definitely Maybe a restlessness that resonates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertainly, Oasis aren't looking to redefine rock \u0026amp; roll here; they'd rather inhabit it. They scour through the remnants of the past three decades to come up with a quintessentially British rock \u0026amp; roll record, one that swaggers with the defiance of \u003c\/span\u003ethe Rolling Stones\u003cspan\u003e, roars with the sneer of the \u003c\/span\u003eSex Pistols\u003cspan\u003e, thieves from the past like \u003c\/span\u003ethe Happy Mondays\u003cspan\u003e, and ties it all together with a melodicism as natural as \u003c\/span\u003ePaul McCartney\u003cspan\u003e, even if Definitely Maybe never quite sounds like \u003c\/span\u003ethe Beatles\u003cspan\u003e. All the Fab Four comparisons trumpeted by the brothers Gallagher were a feint, a way to get their group considered as part of the major leagues. Soon enough, these affirmations became a self-fulfilling prophecy -- act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act, as it were -- but that bravado hardly diminishes the accomplishment of Definitely Maybe. It is a furious, inspiring record, a rallying cry for the downtrodden to rise above and seize their day but, most of all, it's a blast of potent, incendiary rock \u0026amp; roll. — (via Allmusic)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5zfhhKXHK0YQdvacCs1ErM?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Big Brother \u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Heavyweight, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2014 \/ Original Release: 1994\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Rock\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Britpop, Alternative Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: School Of Rock\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Brother","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44323254796446,"sku":"5051961070019","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/914tqtuLcoL-_UF1000-1000_QL80.jpg?v=1727248298","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/oasis-definitely-maybe","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
