Oasis announcement: the most anti-climactic piece of music news ever?

Yesterday a teasing video was posted on the Oasis Facebook page and it simply read "26th Feb 9AM". The curious nature of the internet then went rife with speculation at this mysterious post. Are Oasis getting back together? Have Liam and Noel forgotten their differences and made up? These were some of the many questions being asked.

So everyone went to bed and woke up early the next morning. The clock reached 8:55AM and by this point many people had flooded twitter with tweets such as "5 minutes to go" and "oh my god this is so exciting". Suspense was building, young people and old people a like were giddy at the prospect of an Oasis reunion tour.

It finally got to 9AM and nothing had happened yet. Some were complaining that all of Oasis's social media pages weren't working properly. This was hardly surprising seeing as millions of fans were probably trying to see what the huge news was about. Ten minutes had passed and by 9:10AM the moment we had all been waiting for was announced. Oh boy, it was a let down.

This lot are probably laughing at those who thought they were reuniting. Cheeky sods.

The big news was... a remastered version of debut album Definitely Maybe to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the record being released.

Don't get me wrong, I am one hundred per cent looking forward to this remastered album. However, was it really necessary to tease us all with a perplexing post on the internet? The band could've just announced the news normally like any other band. They could've told it to a music journalist or two and they would've whacked straight into their magazines. But then again, it is Oasis and they do like to make a rather large fuss over everything. I mean come on, it's what they're known for!

Honestly, I would've preferred a reunion tour seeing as I've never seen Oasis live before but whatever, c'est la vie. On the other hand, some people will be thrilled to hear these old tunes polished whilst also getting some rarities too, and I'm happy for them. In the end though, I personally felt a bit let down. Oh well, there's plenty of time left on this earth for the band to get back together. Let's hope that it eventually happens sooner rather than later.
