5.0 out of 5 stars Should Have Been on An Album, August 6, 2004

"Whatever" is a terrific song, about as good as anything off the first 2 Oasis albums. The group might have been trying to repeat this sound later with the song "All Around The World", what with the violins and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR-type psychedelia; but "Whatever" is a much catchier tune and doesn't run on and on forever like "All Around The World" does.

Unfortunately, this one 6-minute song is the only reason to buy the single. The other songs are all good, but "Slide Away" is taken right off the first album, and the other two songs can be found on THE MASTERPLAN compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW GOOD IS THIS TUNE!?, September 20, 2004

There have been stormy mornings when its all seemed too much. I ponder slitting my wrists, throwing myself off a high rise or some other misery-laden pursuit.

When those times have set, I knew there was only one answer - Whatever. As the subtle acoustic arouses interest and the opening symphonic strings caress the senses all of a sudden the world begins to change. The clouds endeavor to disperse, an invigorating shiver runs up the spine, hairs on the hind neck stand on end and the sun arises to "shee-yine!" - Hallelujah, praise the lord!

Put simply, the most uplifting anthem I've ever heard by the most under appreciated band ever to hit The States - just wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, February 28, 2005

This review is from: Whatever (Audio CD)

The first time I heard this was live at glasgow which had Noel singing, then when i baught the single I was amazed and couldnt get it out of my head for days and days. Even though its 10 years old its still one of the best singles released in that period. The B-sides are as good as A-sides which can be found on the masterplan. Also has the non-album-single "slide-away" on the 4th track. You could as well say its a Double A-Side single.

I recommend this to anybody!
