“Definitely Maybe wasn’t just an album; it was a revolution in sound and spirit,” Tim reflects. “From the very beginning, Oasis had this almost irrational self-belief, a kind of swagger that was impossible to ignore. And that’s exactly what you hear in every track on Definitely Maybe. It’s like a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart of British rock music.”

Tim recalls the sessions leading up to the album’s release, filled with both intensity and inspiration. “There was an undeniable chemistry in the studio,” he says. “You had Noel Gallagher crafting these incredible, larger-than-life songs, and then you had Liam, who, the moment he stepped up to the mic, just owned it. That combination was electric. You could feel something special was happening.”

Looking back, Tim sees Definitely Maybe as more than just a successful debut—it was a cultural touchstone that helped define a generation. “There was a void in music at that time, especially in the UK. People were looking for something they could relate to, something that was both aspirational and grounded. Oasis filled that void, and Definitely Maybe was the catalyst.”

“With Definitely Maybe, Oasis proved they could kick the door down,” says Tim. “But with (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, they walked through it like they owned the place. This album was them saying, ‘We’re here to stay, and you’re coming with us.’”

Tim recalls the period leading up to the album’s release as a whirlwind of creativity, confidence, and calculated chaos. “The band was in a different place by then—physically, emotionally, and creatively. They knew they were onto something big, and there was this sense that they were creating something that would last forever,” he explains. “Noel was writing songs that were already anthems before they’d even been recorded. Liam was delivering vocals that were nothing short of iconic. You could feel the magic happening.”

Nearly three decades later, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? remains one of the most beloved albums of all time, a testament to its lasting impact. “It’s rare for an album to not just survive the test of time but to continue to grow in its influence,” Tim notes. “People still listen to it today, and it still means something. That’s the sign of a truly great album—it never stops resonating.”

“Be Here Now was the sound of a band that was on top of the world and knew it,” says Tim. “There was this sense that Oasis could do anything they wanted, and they did. They went big—really big. And the album reflects that. It’s massive in every sense of the word: the production, the songs, the attitude.”

Tim recalls the atmosphere during the recording sessions as both exhilarating and intense. “There was this energy in the air, almost like we were on the brink of something monumental. The band had just come off the back of two of the biggest albums of the decade, and the expectation was to top that. Noel was writing these huge, sprawling tracks, and the production was ramped up to match. There was no holding back.”

Tim is also candid about the challenges and criticisms that surrounded Be Here Now. “Look, there’s no denying that the album is divisive,” he admits. “At the time, people were expecting another Morning Glory, but Oasis wasn’t interested in repeating themselves. They wanted to go bigger, and that came with its own set of challenges. The production was immense, and not everyone was ready for that.”
