Apart from the sludgy instrumental "The Swamp Song," there isn't a weak track here, and the brilliant moments are essential not only for Oasis fans, but any casual follower of Britpop or post-grunge rock & roll.

I’m afraid this compilation just isn’t enough to spark a renewed interest in these quickly fading toss-pots.

TL;DR
This album is amazing, listen to it now.
I want to start this review off by saying thank you to everyone who has followed me in the past year, I’m really grateful for all my followers.

Considering that this is a B sides LP, it is of an incredibly high standard and is probably their third best record. They always were a band that produced excellent B sides and this really highlights what an excellent band Oasis were at this stage of their career.

The Masterplan is an album of B sides from the singles upto its release meaning the majority are from the first two albums. It shows the quality of song writing during their initial years. This is seriously a collection of great songs many on a par with the single and in some case even better.

Masterplan is such a banger highly recommend the unplugged version if you can find it. It’s quite rare. Acquiesce too, probably one of oasis best cuts
