Critics at the time of release and since have divided sharply on whether the record's maximalism is a flaw or its defining quality; what is not in dispute is the songwriting quality of its three singles. \u003cstrong\u003e\"D'You Know What I Mean?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — released 7 July 1997 and entering the UK Singles Chart at \u003cstrong\u003enumber one\u003c\/strong\u003e with 162,000 copies sold on its first day — remains one of the most viscerally satisfying rock singles of the 1990s, eight minutes of layered guitars and Liam's fully committed delivery. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Stand By Me\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (number two UK) and \u003cstrong\u003e\"All Around the World\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (number one UK at over nine minutes, featuring orchestral arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eNick Ingman\u003c\/strong\u003e) complete a single run of consistent achievement.
