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. Noel has said multiple times that a whole bunch of Oasis songs remain unrecorded/unreleased and that he considers them to be his own because, erm... he wrote them. Why abandon unreleased songs, that no-one, (or perhaps a few Oasis nerds) have heard before? If the materials strong enough... use it! No connection can be drawn between this album and an impending Oasis reunion as far as I'm concerned. Any 'hidden clues' are self imposed... i.e. your seeing things because you want to see them. If Oasis do reform it will likely be due to Noel feeling sorry for Liam and being bored of solo work. At the moment, it's very unlikely but definitely not impossible in the future.

What the fuck. We just got this awesome album with fantastic songs and people are whining about Oasis?
Also, stop talking about Noel using "Oasis songs". He wrote them, they are HIS. He can do with them whatever he likes. I am actually glad he dusted off Lock All The Doors. Geez, at least you got the song.

Why anyone would want Oasis back after hearing the album is beyond me.

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. So there will not be an Oasis reunion at all? It's painfully obvious it's inevitable.

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! I was a massive Oasis fan but personally I see nothing other than disaster if they ever got back together. I DO NOT want it that's for sure, so much more to lose than to gain for Noel especially. I don't understand the constant clammer from the press and fans for it. I won't get into the Liam's voice debate but as I see it Noel brings 2/3s to the table at least. I am happy with Noel doing this thing he has going AND if Liam ever sorts his shit out we may get the chance to see what he has too.

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!!Good Lord...

So if Oasis reunited and the party line was... Noel writes all the songs and Liam sings the majority... ye'd be against that? Liam of 2015 singing Lock All The Doors trumps Noel's effort anyway.
One thing is for sure... in 10 years I won't be listening to this album (good album though it is) but I will be listening to Oasis and I feel that a still functioning Oasis that has concerts and what not is the perfect scenario.

I'm not waiting on a reunion but I think it might happen some time in the future, a couple of one-off gigs maybe. I'm not sure how I'd feel about an entire tour though...

In all honestly, I'm really not sure what I want to happen, based on the stuff Noel is now producing, I would hate to get another Oasis studio album in which we would only get 3/4 Noel songs - If that's the case, I'd rather they didn't reform.
In short, whatever gives us the most Noel Gallagher songs, I'm in favour of. be it as part of Oasis with a vocally in form Liam, or as a solo artist.
I can't really see anyway back for Oasis now, certainly not a new studio album, not after what I've heard of CY.
Noel has truly come of age now, his creativity and songwriting is back to it's best.

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? THIS.You pretty much nailed it. Oasis was a band in name only toward the end. Things are much more exciting now. I had my thrill with the band but that time is over.

One thing is for sure... in 10 years I won't be listening to this album (good album though it is) but I will be listening to Oasis and I feel that a still functioning Oasis that has concerts and what not is the perfect scenario. My watch appears to be broke, let me just set it back to 1994... You can't just act as if post-2001 never happened - Liam's vocal ran out, Noel lost creativity and the democratic writing idea was a disaster - they came to an inevitable end in 2009. An Oasis reunion does not mean another Definitely Maybe and if you think Noel would be as free to be as creative as he is now in Oasis you're a fool. Also a reunion for simply live shows is pointless and unnecessary. Now: Noels vocals>Liam's vocals Chasing Yesterday>Oasis post 1996 And I can't imagine I will ever reach a point where The Dying of the Light is not a beautiful song, or the chorus of Lock All the Doors doesn't soar for me, or where Riverman is not an excellent piece of music. I'm confident I will be listening to this album in 10 years - it has SO many moods and flows SO well SO consistently and unlike the vast majority of Noel's output post-2001 it is NOT forgettable.

Massively disagree with OP.
Noel is writing music now that it's much more grown up from the Oasis days. He's grown as a songwriter, a changed man, and better for it.
Knew this album CY would be awesome, much more confident in Noel as a solo artist, when Oasis released album (after BHN), half was good, other half naff, we all knew it, mainly due to Gem, Liam, Andy writing tunes which surprise surprise were the worst on the album.
Noel is selling more albums than recent Oasis records, he still sells out every venue, he's writing best music in well over a decade, and arguably ever, definately at his most consistent.
Oasis will always be one of the great bands, they were the biggest band around for a time and Noel wrote some songs that will be etched in time. But time has moved on, it got stale towards the end, the quality of the albums showed that towards end.
I don't know Noel personally, but he comes across musically that he's never been more confident and its a good thing for us all who listen objectively and enjoy his music. Long may Noel continue solo work because imo nothing Oasis would ever do from here on in would come close.

Some laughable statements on here about Noel copying Oasis songs, hahaha without Noel no Oasis, he wrote those songs ffs.
Anyone who remotely thinks Noel is pinning for Oasis reunion is delusional, probably a Liverpool fan with that level of delusion, and really needs to move on, Oasis are in the past.

Everyone knows they'll be back in 5 years. And I guarantee every idiot here who is coming out with all these ''logical'' statements about why Oasis should remain dead will be punching the air when that news breaks. I'd give up all future Noel Gallagher songs to be able to go to more Oasis concerts in the future. (And the best of both worlds can easily be managed) Live Forever.

Oasis was a great ride but that trip is over.

Seen Oasis 21 times Live, sure many have seen them a lot more than I have, I'll always have those memories, if they come back Id lie if I said I wouldn't go but it will never be the same. Noel has to stay solo with the quality of his albums now, and he will imo.

i'm fully convinced that if oasis ever did reform at this point it would be nothing more than a couple of 'greatest hits' shows, possibly for charity.
dig out your soul had a few good songs on it, but none of those songs had the crystal-clear ambition, inspiration and enthusiasm that rings out loud and clear on chasing yesterday.
