Hey guys, Im from Australia, I love Oasis and want to learn about thier history, I was wondering, Be here now was the most anticipated album of all time yeah? As soon as people heard it, were they like, ‘omg, this is terrible!!!` or did they really dig it?
Cheers guys!







All around the world is one of my favourite Oasis songs so I liked it, but you are right, it wasn’t well received – maybe it was overhyped.
I think it was cool hey, Oasis is a pretty random band, so expect whats cool for you.
You may love it and others may **** it, its your opinion that counts.
I seem to remember the music press raving about it at the time. I hated it , but it has grown on me, it was too long, like a lot of albums of the time. There are some good songs on there, it’s better than ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’!
When the lead single “D’You Know What I Mean” came out people thought it was great.Some reviews were very positive.I remember Q Magazine giving the album a 5 star review.A very rare occurence for them.Others were not so positive.After the album was released and the initial hype around it calmed down, people started realising that it’s not as good as the first two albums.
The problem with that album was that it is too long (72 min).They could have easily edited 20 minutes off it, especially “All Around The World” (9:20).
With some proper editing it could have been an above average album, now it’s merely average.
no i don’t consider it as disaster. I think it’s amazing britpop/indie album people just didn’t notice it because all of that Blur/Oasis shite
It just stayed in shadow of Morning Glory
