Nothing new and not much detail on the songs. Just the basic shizzle really.
REVIEW BY PLATO. (Dutch recordstore)
When Noel Gallagher's first solo album came out in 2011, this headstrong Britpop-dinosaur promised that an experimental album in collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous would see the light of day in 2012. That never happened. Especially now that Liam's band Beady Eye is no more, many Oasis fans will be excited for new work by Noel. Chasing Yesterday sees Noel going further down the same course.
Traditionally, the album starts with a random throat sound. Opening track Riverman could easily have been an Oasis song, except for (yeah) the saxophone. This surprising instrument later returns (on The Right Stuff) and creates a jazzy, psychedelic sound. The nearly false nanananana's in single In The Heat Of The Moment do raise an eyebrow, but Noel gets away with it, gloriously. Even Lock All The Doors, a song that has been left on the shelf by Oasis, 23 years ago, fits in like a glove. With the guitar playing on The Ballad Of The Mighty I, played by Johnny Marr (The Smiths), because of whom Noel picked up the guitar as a teenager, the circle is round.
With Chasing Yesterday, Noel Gallagher has finally become an evergreen star in the musical firmament: if you're only familiar with this album it may not sound very original, but as a continuation of a rich history, this new album feels like a comfortable coming home. Or just rely on Noel's own words: ''Is it great? Of course it is!''
8/10

I can't actually speak German very well. It's difficult |

Based on a lot of these early reviews and trying to be Noel's American A&R man, it sounds like "You Know We Can't Go Back" would make an ideal USA single. The reviews keep saying it's fast paced, poppy, anthemic and a touch of Springsteen. Those are all good things for commercials success in America. Take The Killers "When You Were Young". Big hit. Not saying Noel is ever going to have a US hit at age 47 but he can tailor his potentially singles in this market for a best foot forward approach. Just an idea.

You can't say the same about France, Italy, Spain and maybe even Germany! Do you remember october guys? We were like 5 months away from getting the record. Time flies! |

We were like 5 months away from getting the record. Time flies! Two weeks from getting the album followed by another 3 year gap of anticipation. Noel will be 50 when his third album drops. Think about that!!!! Man Im getting old that a record from a 47 year old still makes me rock hard. |

You live in the States (I suppose) and there's no hype around Oasis, but in UK, for example, they're getting new fans and they have a pretty strong young fan base. There are 15 yr old who rock hard for a record from a 47 year old, and I'm 20 too Noel said that too i guess, his fans at gigs were pretty young |

Sure, some were obviously guys in their 40s who had known Oasis in the 90s, but many, many 20-year-olds as well. And that's in Germany, a country that has, historically, always lacked a half decent taste in music. |
