Lots of bad reviews coming in now. It only has a 67 on Metacritic, which is fairly poor. The original HFB album has a 69. well, they all can fuck off. fucking hippies and hipsters... The word hippie is derived from hipster. True story. Peace.

Funny how Rolling Stone USA magazine has this thing of usually giving 3.5/5 star for most britsh artits, it seems that they can't give more than that to them.

Seems like that guy thinks I'm Outta Time was written by Noel. And the HC comment is hilarious. Vagina.

ABC News: 4.5 out of 5! abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/music-reviews-latest-kelly-clarkson-noel-gallaghers-high/story?id=29447999"There are a few lines from “If I Had A Gun…,” the main single from Gallagher’s first High Flying Birds record that have been floating around continuously in my head in the nearly four years since I originally heard them. He sings, “Excuse me if I spoke too soon. / My eyes have always followed you around the room. / Cuz you’re the only god that I’ll ever need. / I’m holding on and waiting for the moment to find me.” To me, these words perfectly capture that feeling of being captivated by a beautiful woman who has just entered a room and trying to get the nerve to talk to her. For some reason, these words stick particularly with me more than anything else Gallagher has written, including the classics he made with Oasis. “Chasing Yesterday,” Gallagher’s second post-Oasis release, isn’t an album of moments like its predecessor. It is consistently graceful throughout its 10-song, 44-minute span. This is a sonically expansive album that sounds like it was recorded live in a giant room. Each song is given a few seconds of warm-up to give the listener the feeling of being in the studio with the group. This is also one of Gallagher’s most consistent song-sets in some time, recalling the high-points of “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” The opening of “Riverman” openly brings to mind “Wonderwall” with its strummed rhythm, while when he sings about the “setting sun” on “The Mexican,” you can’t help but think about his famous collaboration with the Chemical Brothers that he is maybe subconsciously name-checking. Rocker, “Lock All The Doors” has an urgency reminiscent of the title-track to “(What’s The Story (Morning Glory?)” It’s not that Gallagher is repeating himself. These songs are just obviously cut from the same cloth. Johnny Marr guests, playing guitar on the closer, single “Ballad Of The Mighty I” which is interesting considering this album has a punchy precision similar to Marr’s last two solo records. Like Marr, maturity for Gallagher doesn’t mean a decline in liveliness. Both men are obviously honing their craft and making bold, bright records. The title “Chasing Yesterday” seems like an in-joke about Gallagher trying to recapture the magic of the early Oasis records. In reality, he’s achieved his goal to create one of the most stirring collections of his career. Although, honestly this album’s jazz-like focus on instrumentation and knack for occasional, stray sax solos hints at more of a rebirth than a retread. This is Noel Gallagher at his very best. Focus Tracks: “You Know We Can’t Go Back” This is a frontrunner to be the peppiest, most upbeat song that Gallagher has ever written. It’s an insistent rocking hit waiting to happen. “The Dying Of The Light” Gallagher has always been a master of this kind of consuming ballad that really draws in the listeners. Once again, this song is a successor to “Wonderwall.” But it also has a bit of the drive of the criminally under-rated Oasis song “Part Of The Queue.” Gallagher has mastered this tone of songwriting. “The Ballad Of The Mighty I” This track shows real momentum, again maintaining both a strong sense of drama and a well-honed sense of musicianship."

Awesome to see some love from the American media outlets! I see it was also the highest-rated album in that post, so that's a plus. Hopefully there's more stuff like this coming out from the US to generate some buzz for the album over here. I'd love to see Noel gain some popularity with the HFBs in the States.

I've always loved ABC (always = since I finished reading that review) On a side note, Kelly Clarkson needs to ease off the burgers with extra large fries.

Has anyone posted this one yet? 3 1/2 stars out of 5. From The Daily Breeze in Los Angeles. www.dailybreeze.com/arts-and-entertainment/20150306/noel-gallagher-grows-post-oasis-solo-career-on-chasing-yesterdayNoel Gallagher grows post-Oasis solo career on ‘Chasing Yesterday’
"Chasing Yesterday," Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. By Sam Gnerre, sam.gnerre@langnews.com, @samgnerre on Twitter POSTED: 03/06/15, 1:42 PM PST Rating: 3 1/2 stars Album: “Chasing Yesterday” Genre: Rock Label: Sour Mash Former Oasis leader Noel Gallagher has found his footing as a solo artist with “Chasing Yesterday.” The pugnacious Manchester-born Brit has taken full command of both the writing and the production this time out, making Gallagher’s first self-titled post-Oasis album under the High Flying Birds moniker in 2011 seem tentative in comparison. The result: “Chasing Yesterday” explores a much broader range. Gallagher’s vocals are smoother and less in-your-face than those of his younger brother, Liam, whose throaty sneer gave Oasis its instantly identifiable sound. “The Ballad of Mighty I” displays Noel’s talents to full effect, with the elder Gallagher soaring on its yearning chorus, supported by delayed harmonies echoing his lead. As fluent as Gallagher can be at such melodic, atmospheric epics — the brooding “Riverman” explores similar territory — “Chasing Yesterday” springs most fully to life on three shorter, less grandiose rockers. “In the Heat of the Moment,” “You Know We Can’t Go Back” and especially “Lock All the Doors” all reverberate with full-bore guitar, instantly catchy choruses and brilliantly executed dynamics. They stand with Gallagher’s best work in or outside of Oasis. The album sags slightly in the middle with a pair of less-focused tracks. “The Right Stuff” is the album’s only real clinker, with five-plus minutes of deathly dull jazz-pop and sleek saxophones along with all the earmarks of something on the playlist at The Wave 94.7. “While the Song Remains the Same” improves slightly, but still lacks the finesse to pull off its U2-like ambitions. Happily, those cuts are exceptions to the rule on an album that successfully treads a fine line between carefully crafted production and high-flying abandon, all united by Gallagher’s ever-sure songwriting touch. In addition to a remix of “In the Heat of the Moment,” the extra disc that comes with the deluxe edition of “Chasing Yesterday” contains three bonus tracks. The rocking “Do The Damage” packs the most punch, but “Revolution Song” and “Freaky Teeth” also would have fit in nicely on the album proper. Gallagher is scheduled to headline a show at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on May 20.
