(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is Oasis's second studio album, released in 1995 on Creation Records. It marks a shift from the band's debut: Noel Gallagher's songwriting moved toward focused balladry, with more emphasis on expansive choruses and string arrangements. That combination of scale and directness — grand hooks built around grounded emotion — connects naturally to films and books about people pushing hard against the odds, striving to break through into something larger.
About (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by the English rock band Oasis. Released on 2 October 1995 by Creation Records, it was produced by Owen Morris and the group's lead guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher. The structure and arrangement style of the album was a significant departure from the band's previous album, Definitely Maybe (1994). Gallagher's compositions were more focused in balladry and placed more emphasis on "huge" choruses and string arrangements. Morning Glory was the group's first album with drummer Alan White, who replaced Tony McCarroll.
