I think the main reason is because of the sharp departure from their previous larger-than-life stadium rock anthems. The entire album feels kinda sad and heavy in terms of mood. Lots of melancholy sips through every note of most songs. A theme that would continue to this day. Noel's voice is just very different from Liam's and transports a completely different feel. I would it describe as the beginning of Noel's adult phase while the first Oasis albums were rebellious and youthful. You simply cannot write songs about being broke and doing odd jobs when you're a multi-millionare.

Not exactly the greatest thing in the world, but there's a gloomy psychedelic edge on this that they never really explored before and is way more compelling to me than a lot of the basicness that came after. The second half particularly is quite lovely! "Let's All Make Believe" being omitted will always be confusing and an awful decision. It's not bad but it feels like potential was wasted.

Still my favorite Oasis album. The gloomy and overall quite sad atmosphere reflects my personal situation when this album came out.

underrated but not their best still. I recommend listening to this one while installing windows 2000 in a machine, that was nice and kind of anemoic

The combination of the trip-hop beats and psychodelic guitar sounds is genius. The sound of this album is incredible, and Oasis never did something like this after 2000

Agreed. Especially on Where Did it All Go Wrong? The lyric 'Do you keep the receipts for the friends that you buy?' is absolute genius.

There were so many good songs that they were demoing that didn't make the cut. If some of 'em did, I have a feeling that this album would've been much better received. As it is, I do like it, though!

This is a very strong album. It's not labeled as 'masterpiece' only because it's Oasis'. This band was ridiculous

I know everybody says that for all their albums, but I really think this is the one album they messed-up the most with b-sides and a-sides choices. Full On should have been sung by Liam and been one of the centrepieces of the album, along with Let's All Make Believe and Carry Us All. One Way Road should have closed the album and Put Yer Money Where Your Mouth Is should have been a b-side.

Little James isn't what's wrong with this album... in a nutshell: the up-tempos, though decent, are a bit by the numbers and feel like outtakes from a different record (Be Here Now). Meanwhile, the rumbling neo-psych songs, which dominate the album, are rather analogous and slightly lose their potency as a result. I think the album lacks diversity. It's potentially one track away from being excellent. Still a pretty enjoyable listen, though I wouldn't say it's CRIMINALLY underrated.

It would have been perfect if instead of Little James had put Let's All Make Believe.
