Every song a beauty, nothing more to be said really, except - simply genius.

How many albums a year are we told is the greatest thing since Definitely Maybe? And how many of them actually are...well...none so far. Its going to take an amazing album to better this one, and I doubt it will ever happen.

What makes this album is Noel Gallagher's talent as a songwriter. Tracks like Slide Away and Married With Children with their clever lyrics sit next to the likes of Rock 'n' Roll Star and 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' two songs that don't have the worlds most intelligent lyrics, but say everything thats worth saying. Its the sound of just about every person out there, cos who hasn't wanted to get away from their day-to-day life and be a rock n roll star? When you listen to this, you are.

The best album you will ever buy. Ever.

The greatest debut album ever. Without any need for debate. If you don't have this album I worry for you.

Live Forever, Ciggarettes and Alcohol, two of the single most important songs of the decade.
