Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit overrated here?

No, you're not alone. I wanted to vote for it on the elimination thread. I objectively think all the songs are good. I like the production. But I never want to listen to it, I keep trying but I just get bored. I can listen to any of the songs, and I think they're good, but I don't love any of them (except You Know We Can't Go Back) and I don't love the album

Now seriously, when I first listened to it I loved it and part of me was convinced it was just the excitement for finally having some new music from Noel that made me appreciate it like I did, but three months later I love it even more
If you think it's overrated then fine, I find all the negativity that's going on in the section lately a bit annoying, but there are people in this world who think WTSMG is overrated, everybody's got his own opinion I guess

Plus I find it hilarious that most of the people who used to complain about the negativity 'aimed towards' Beady Eye are now the ones who are doing it to Noel recently (as some kind of petty revenge maybe). Anyways... Bless them |

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I wanted to love it, I really did. I've never been more excited for an album. I got up early and walked into the biggest record store in town to buy it on release day rather than pre-ordering because I wanted the experience. I listened to it religiously for like a month. But nothing. I wouldn't be a good fan if I just pretended to Love all of Noel's work. I love the man, I support him, I'm glad he's trying new things. If I had the money I'd have gone to one of his gigs, got there three hours early and cheered the whole time. I think HFB is one of the best albums I own. I don't mean to be negative. I already can't wait for the next one, I'll track down every tiny piece of information for the whole process. And I hope I change my mind and come to love the album, and that one day when I'm talking about how it's the best thing since cheese someone drags up this thread. But for now, in my own completely subjective opinion, Chasing Yesterday is not a good album at all.

Nope.
I think it is a step in the right direction compared to NGHFB, and I cannot wait till the next one (which will probably come in 5 years or so).
Absolute favourite is still The Right Stuff, then While The Song Remains The Same.

The biggest problem for me is that while I absolutely love the album, I have a hard time appreciating the songs separately on their own.

Bless them Maybe its that people that complained about the negativity 'aimed towards' Beady Eye, like their output more than Noel solo (so no not petty revenge, but their opinion but bless you), Then there's people the who like Noel's solo output more than Beady Eye's (so why they were more negative) Like is said above every one entitled to their opinion? |

I have no problem with threads like this one btw,as you said people are entitled to their opinion,I personally don't think this record is overrated at all,but if others do that's alright It's thread like the one drevil opened a few days ago I have a problem with,but that's another story I guess |

No, I'd rather listen to BE or DGSS.
Just kidding. Of course not.

I don't think it is overrated. I still enjoy many of the songs on their own and I enjoy listening to the whole thing cover to cover. It's better than his first album, certainly better than Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe The Truth, which I do think is an overrated album.

Thats seem to happen a lot (anywhere not just here) Idk what that thread is but i guess you left you view in that thread anyway. For me i really like the album as a whole but as the hype wears off it does feel more and more like HFB part 2 (which i wasn't a huge fan off) i do genuinley think TBOTMI is now of the best things Noels ever done, also really love TRS Then love LATD and YKWCGB for the oasisness of them. |

I think HFB is overrated. Chasing Yesterday, however is fantastic.

I guess it all depends on what you mean by saying that it's overrated. A very common opinion on here at the moment seems to be that Chasing Yesterday can be regarded as the best collection of songs since SOTSOG. There are obviously a few exceptions but I'd say that many people would agree on that statement. Does this mean that it's overrated? Is it better than DM and MG? Obviously not. If somebody's saying that he's probably a madman or he's clearly overhyped by the CY release. Is it better than HC, DBTT, DOYS, DGSS and BE? Yes, in my opinion (which by the way is worth nothing, as does yours  ). There's only one song on CY which I don't like that much: the rest is (again in my opinion) as good or nearly as good as the best tracks on the last three Oasis albums, which were too inconsistent. Some people may enjoy BE or DBTT more and that's fine, got no problem with that. |

Still the 2nd weakest song on the album though, and definitely not Noel's finest moment, imho. The track I very often skip is X-Ray Eyes, and now that might be an unpopular opinion on here |

I disagree with the statement that it's overrated.
It's a good album with songs that flow well with each other, and it's a lot like MG, in the way that even the weak songs are still really good, in comparison to some of his past works.
The thing I like about the album the most is that it sounds like something new for Noel, even on some of the usual rocking tunes like The Mexican, a ballad like The Dying of the Light, or the pop tunes like In the Heat of the Moment and The Girl With X-Ray Eyes It's much more atmospheric, and on songs like While the Song Remains the Same, The Right Stuff, Ballad of the Mighty I, and Riverman, the experimenting shines through nicely. I think the only ones that stand out as not being a look ahead are the most Oasis-like ones, You Know We Can't Go Back and Lock All the Doors, but even those are good in their own right & serve a nice purpose on the album.
While I don't think there are any bonafide classics quite yet, there still needs to be time to think in retrospect and see what stands out as time goes by. However, I do think, that once time does go by, songs like While the Song Remains the Same, Riverman, and The Dying of the Light are gonna stand out among all others.
