Noel has always said he's a guy that doesn't look to the past but rather to the future.
Personally though, I feel this album has made it VERY clear that he would be very much open to a reunion.
After all, the album title itself - "Chasing Yesterday" - clearly suggests that.
The appearance of Lock of All The Doors definitely suggests it. There is no way in hell that when he recorded this song that he wasn't instantly transported back to the 1990's with Oasis.
Similarly with You Know You Can't Go Back; while the title may suggest a reunion won't occur it does rather evoke a very wistful vibe showing that Noel is thinking about the good old times.
Then again, maybe this was the album Noel had to get out his system to be finally rid of his yearnings for an Oasis reunion.
Thoughts?
Also, I'm pretty sure the other songs on the album suggest at this too (ie. Ballad of the Mighty I) but I'll leave that dissecting to ye, fellow posters!

It's simple - Chasing Yesterday shows us Oasis is dead and The High Flying Birds are soaring.
Get over it.

I just want as many Noel Gallagher written songs released as possible. Whether with NGHFB or Oasis, I don't really mind. But Oasis was a diluted product at the end, and NGHFB is a breath of fresh air.

This isn't it.

How did you glean any of that from just listening to this album... Intuition. Recording Lock All The Doors is the biggest hint though. I mean, it had been used as the inspiration for the recorded Sister Lover... why delve back into the early Oasis days to essentially rerecord an Oasis song... an Oasis that you're supposedly ''finished with for good.'' There must be something in that - and it definitely isn't a negative connotation. |

If he had a plan to reunite Oasis you'd think he'd be stock piling Oasis-esque tracks especially of Lock All The Doors quality. |

I must have missed the plodding mid-tempo derivative rockers, nasally vocals and shocking lyrics that characterised much of Oasis' later history. What I DID hear was 10 fresh, modern, rocking, jazz and dance inflected tracks from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. The kings are dead, long live the king. |

All I'm saying is that Noel's thoughts on Oasis/Liam/being open to a reunion are MUCH MUCH more different to what they were when the first High Flying Birds album was made.
The 1st album was always about getting free of Oasis (Everybody's on the Run, The Death of You and Me) - whereas in this one, he seems much more philosophical about the whole affair.

What future of Oasis? They broke up 6 years ago and had been plodding along for about 6 more years before that.
Who wants that to come back?

Can we stop talking about a stupid reunion? This album for me pretty much made the idea of it irrelevant, and lame interviewers are going to ask about it anyway. So can we spare the discussion on here?

The future of Oasis after hearing CY? None. This one is even better than HFB1 and easily better than anything Oasis has done after Be Here Now. Why whould Noel give that up? Why would we want him to give that up?
Also, anyone still pointing to the album title as a sign for a reunion is a fool.

No matter what Noel says to the media at some point there will be an Oasis reunion. Whether it ends up being a one off or a handful of shows, its going to happen. By the time it happens there will be too much money on the table. Liam is going to need this reunion more than Noel and I think he'll be the one that will end up forcing Noel's hand to do it by giving in to every single demand Noel makes of him for it to happen.
What I don't understand is why some of you are treating like an either/or type of thing. There's no rule against Noel doing an Oasis tour in between solo records. Anyone expecting a 30-40 date massive world tour or an album is fooling themselves. That's far more unlikely to happen. They'll do a massive reunion show at Glastonbury or something like Coachella and play a handful of markets and that will likely be it, maybe they'll even do it a 2nd time a few years further down the road from the first one.
A reunion does not end Noel's solo career. Nor does Oasis have any "future" worth even talking about.

If anything, the tracks the OP mentions proves that Noel doesn't need his younger brother anymore. Why would he want to reform Oasis? Other than money or saving his brother's career, obviously.

He doesn't even need to save 1 lol. Reunion does not mean new album. Thats very unlikely. Some shows? Yea, I think a small reunion tour (10-20 gigs) within the next 5-10 years is not a stretch. I doubt Noel and Liam do anything of consequence in terms of new music ever again, maybe a single or something, but I wouldnt bet on Noel being in a band (outside of one that carries his name) again. |

How can you even think about Oasis reforming after we just got this wonderful album. Screw that man. Oasis is dead and I'am one fan who is happy.
The last quality Oasis album that measured up to what we have now was Morning Glory.
Sorry i don't need anymore shit music written by Liam, Andy or Gem taking up space on albums we wait 3-4 years to hear.
Also NOEL IS A MUCH BETTER VOCALIST NOW THAN LIAM IS CAPABLE OF BEING. (I'm sure some who read thats head just exploded)
So to recap, fuck Oasis go NOEL!!

When we are discussing a re union on the light of Chasing Yesterday saving songs I'd a valid point and you'd think he'd save any songs that could potentially be used in a re union in any way. But I totally agree with your point that a re union doesn't mean a new album. |

Oasis is done. It was amazing, lasted 18 years and gave us the best albums of the 90s with a list of all time classic songs even from post 2000 - but its over, and that's fine - all good things come to an end...no matter how good. Noel's two solo albums are both extremely high quality and Chasing Yesterday could end up being seen by fans as a classic and they're certainly more creative, consistent and interesting than anything Oasis did post-2001. It's the fully fledged creative revival of a brilliant songwriter we all love and that's amazing to see. Even Beady Eye had some great moments and I'm confident Liam is capable of sorting is life out and forming at least a reasonably successful solo career. I love Oasis, we all do, but it should be left to age gracefully. P.s Anyone who finds the prospekt of bringing Oasis back from the dead in the name of nostalgia so Liam can butcher Wonderwall at Glastonbury while Noel looks grumpy more exciting than the situation we have now is... silly  Rant over. |

I think this is pretty spot on i really do believe there will be a reunion in that sort of time frame 3-10 years, but it'll be the "reunion project". Where he (they) get paid shed loads to do some some massive gigs, headline few festivals and thats it no new albums, do that for 6-12 months ride the wave reissue all the 00's albums, bring on bonehead for mk1 songs and gem for mk2, whatever they want but that will be it. For entertainmentnand to make money. Then back to HFB as always The only way we'll get new Liam sung Noel songs if Liam takes him up on offer for Noel's spare "Liam" songs |

Some of you are like the person you went to high school with that's still exactly the same. God bless. And they are still pining away for their high school sweetheart they haven't seen in twenty years but she's married. She's not going to ever leave her husband for them. |
