"Chasing Yesterday" is the 2nd album of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and is currently (as of writing this blog) the fastest selling album of 2015.
The album was announced on the 13th October 2014 with the debut single from the album "In The Heat of The Moment" released on the 23 October 2014 with the accompanying music video released the same day.

It was the follow-up album to The High Flying Birds first album which like this album was released to immediate praise as well as taking the number 1 spot in the UK album charts. 

The second single released from the album was "Ballad of the Mighty I" Gallagher has said he personally believes this particular track is one of the best tracks he has ever made and says the track was massively helped with the input he received from Johnny Marr who is formerly the guitarist for The Smiths and both Marr and Gallagher have been awarded NME Magazines "God like genius award".


Personally my favourite song off of the album is "Lock all the doors". It is just blaring with excitement and personality from start to finish. Lyrically the song is far from Gallagher's best work, however musically the intro to the song is an immediate crowd pleaser and I cannot wait until I see the band perform this song when they headline the T in the Park festival in July as the passion and energy coming from the song will send the crowd into a frenzy.

Chasing Yesterday from start to finish is an incredible album from the huge guitar riffs in "Lock all the doors" to the slower more emotional songs such as "The dying of the light" the album never wavers in quality. Gallagher has once again managed to exceed expectations just like he did with the bands self titled debut album and he has been rewarded for it with yet another number 1 album.

Thanks for Reading!
