Feeder release their fifth studio album, 'Pushing The Senses'on January 31st 2005.The most sonically huge, and lyrically complete, album of their career.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Telegraph said...
When they first emerged in the mid-'90s, Welsh trio Feeder's alternative metal-pop sounded out of step with Britpop. Ten years later, with their fifth album, they sound very much of their time, plying the epic melancholia that can trace its lineage back to the Verve and Radiohead but has found a less abrasive, more radio-friendly expression in Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol and now Athlete (reviewed below).
Since the suicide of Feeder's original drummer, Jon Lee, in 2002, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumental band-leader Grant Nicholas has raised his game. This is an album full of elegantly constructed songs about coming to terms with loss and moving on, and while Nicholas exhibits little in the way of lyrical originality, melodically and emotionally his aim is true. It is a hugely attractive sound, grand without becoming pompous, easy on the ear without being saccharine, the luxuriousness offered by widescreen keyboards counterbalanced with occasionally abrasive, indie guitars. If this is the 21st-century equivalent of soft rock, then at least it boasts a certain artistry and seriousness of intent. Neil McCormick

Manchester Music (rather harshly) said...
FEEDER, on this evidence, are either struggling with the term maturity or, more simply, a band in terminal decline.
Gone are the soaring, rip-roaring guitar-driven pop-metal anthems of old, replaced by what can best be described as rather insipid power-ballads.
Id dearly like to find positives within Pushing The Senses, yet when presented with tracks such as Pain On Pain - a tedious plodder even Westlife would shy away from - favourable comments are not readily forthcoming.
Granted, every outfit is entitled to their shifts in pace, style and attitude as the years tumble by, yet to witness this once formidable trio becoming an outfit capable of such musical monotony is a sorry sight indeed.

BBC said...
Pushing The Senses, Feeder's fifth studio album, is an atmospheric outing influenced by the toll of recent experience, and fans will notice their sound has softened since the suicide of former drummer Jon Lee, in 2002. "A lot of these songs are about how your mind works after you go through something" says singer and guitarist Grant Nicholas.
The album is mainly produced by long-time collaborator Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters) and these ten songs adopt a sobering melancholy wholly different to the exuberance of earlier efforts Echo Park or Yesterday Went Too Soon. Feeder were once touted as Britain's answer to The Smashing Pumpkins, but the band are now closer in sound to Coldplay, Snow Patrol and Keane.
The brand of raucous rock anthem which catapulted them to fame is virtually absent here, the band's new sound is far more thoughtful and understated. "Feeling A Moment" and "Tumble And Fall" are prime examples. Both have Coldplay inspired soaring vocals and catchy melodies, but a little of their lyrical hand wringing seems to have crept in too.
That's not to say the album is bad, because there is a lot to like here. "Pilgrim Soul" and title track "Pushing The Senses" see Feeder thrash furiously away at their instruments, which should appease those who prefer their earlier work.
A shot of melodic sweetness streams through the whole album, most winsomely on the piano-led "Tender", where feel-good chorus, 'Turn over everything, time can heal us again, I'm tender in your arms', appears to signal the band's desire to put the past behind them.
And while "Pain On Pain" is a plaintive but dull ballad, "Morning Life" and "Bitter Glass" fare much better, showing vocal and instrumental debts to another master of melancholia, the erstwhile Elliott Smith.
Pushing The Senses marks Feeder's determination to embrace their maturity as a band. This could be a bold start to a new era but may alienate old fans. Listen to it now and decide.

CD Reviews said...
Since their formation in 1992, Londons Feeder has steadily established themselves as one of Brit-rocks most productive and influential artists. During that time, weve seen the band continuously grow as songwriters and musicians, evolving from the vitriolic, angst-ridden dynamics of their potent debut Polythene (1997) to the critically-acclaimed indie rock masterpiece Yesterday Went Too Soon (1999) and of course, to their breakout, mainstream pop album Echo Park (2001), which featured the hit single Buck Rogers. Even after founding member Jon Lee tragically committed suicide in early 2002, fellow counterparts Grant Nicholas (singer/songwriter, guitarist) and bassist Taka Hirose decided to continue on as a band with ex-Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson in tow, and, later on in 2002, released their fourth album, the emotionally challenging Comfort In Sound. With their fifth studio recording and third collaboration with noted producer Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters), Pushing The Senses, which also features additional production from Ken Nelson (Coldplay), finds Feeder once again taking a musical leap forward with perhaps their most sophisticated and provocative album to date.
Musically, Pushing The Senses expands on the more contemplative, mature moments of Comfort In Sound, and delivers elegant, melancholic pop-rock with both American & Brit sensibilities, soaring harmonics, and charmingly wistful lyrics. Unfortunately for fans of Feeders earlier albums, this means an even further progression from the bands heavier days and Buck Rogers-like antics, though enthusiasts of Comfort In Sound or such bands as Snow Patrol, Keane, Athlete, etc., should find plenty to rejoice about on Pushing The Senses. Now from a creative and sonic standpoint, this album is probably the groups most accessible & restrained effort to date, yet it can be argued that this release is also the bands most polished and enduring. After all, despite boasting a modest ten tracks, any one of the songs found on Pushing The Senses is a compelling aural experience that reflects the confidence and durability of the band, while teeming with emotional resonance. For fans of Comfort In Sounds Come Back Around or Just The Way Im Feeling, standouts like the ultra-hooky Feeling A Moment or the atmospheric Morning Life could become your new favorites, whereas the more delicately crafted ballads in Pain On Pain and Dove Grey Sands take the band to new heights. Of the remaining songs, the first single Tumble & Fall and Frequency possess a singer-songwriter mentality, Tender and Bitter Glass are sweet Brit-pop affairs, and the edgier rock tracks Pushing The Senses and Pilgrim Soul prove the band hasnt completely forgotten their roots. As a whole, Pushing The Senses is yet another accomplished release from the underappreciated Feeder whose fame may not yet match their impact on the music scene, but given the recent resurgence of Brit artists popularity, this may be the year that Feeder finally gets their due
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Times said...
Three years on from the death of Feeders drummer Jon Lee, Grant Nicholas is not getting over it. Almost every song on this album sounds as though it could be about Lee. Even if they arent, the universal themes of life, love and loss loom large over this unashamedly emotive record.
It could all have been a bit depressing. But Nicholass songs usually end up as life-affirming as they are melancholic. And this time around, the likes of Pain on Pain are seriously dark. It was this belief in rocknroll redemption, as well as Nicholass increasingly confident songwriting, that took Feeders previous album, Comfort in Sound, into so many homes. Now, with their musical journey from angry grunge wannabes to wistful Travis-style troubadours complete and the musical climate very much in their favour, Feeder could well be heading for Coldplay country. It will take more than success, of course, to heal their pain. But if this cloud does turn out to have a platinum lining, no band will deserve it more.

NME said...
Feeder - Pushing The Senses 4/10 (new Coldplay number 378)
London rock trio return with a yawn
It's not much of a recommendation when the best thing you can say about an album is that it's 'proficient'. Sadly, 'Pushing the Senses', Feeder's over-earnest fifth LP, does nothing that it's title suggests. There are good times to be had here - 'Pain on Pain' is truly inspired and 'Feeling a Moment' is a wonderful opener - but there aren't as many and the wait for them to arrive is a killer. Mostly it's just a heavily lacquered drone, an album so restrained as to sound almost calculated. Ian Winwood
------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock Sound said...
Since Comfort in Sound became Feeders' biggest album to date, you could put your money on the likelyhood that it's follow-up would be all ambitious ballads and introverted melancholy. But if on first listen Pushing the Senses appears to be a mere extension of brooding hits like Just The Way I'm Feeling, dig deeper and you'll discover that you're witnessing the evolution of one of our most exceptional acts. Described by Grant Nicholas as the optimistic 'step on' from the death of Jon Lee and all it spawned musically, this piano led opus is at once braver, deeper and more involving than anything Feeder have done before. Song-writing of an almost Beatles calibre ( Frequency) sits alongside subtly uplifting Coldplay moments ( Bitter Glass) and a toned down rock edge ( Pilgrim Soul) to make this an unashamedly grown-up record that will nonetheless transcend all boundaries of time, genre and taste. Effortlessly captivating.

Q Magazine said...
In December 2001, Feeder scored a seventh UK Top 30 single with their Just A Day EP. The memorable no-budget promotional video for the thrash-pop title track, compiled from home videos sent to the band's website, featured teenage fans lip-synching the lyrics while leaping around their bedrooms with tennis racquet "guitars" and hairbrush "microphones". The band themselves were nowhere to be seen. The clip said everything about the trio's no-frills work ethic, their unpretentious fan-friendly nature and, perhaps most significantly their relative anonymity. Without a single drug freakout, tabloid kiss-and-tell story or hot-tempered altercation with the paparazzi to call their own, Feeder - Travis' own modest claims notwithstanding - were British rock's own Invisible Band.
The trio's profile rose in the most tragic circumstances. On 7 January 2002, drummer Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home. As a sympathetic media finally got an angle on his band, frontman Grant Nicholas, unsure whether there still was a band to talk about, managed his grief in the way he knew best, by pouring his emotions into his songs. The results, collated later that year on the aptly named Comfort In Sound album, were the most introspective, pure and bruised songs of the band's career. The album propelled Feeder onto the UK arena circuit for the first time.
It's understandable that, three years on, Lee's death continues to cast a long shadow over Grant Nicholas' art; just 20 minutes before Lee took his own life, the drummer had attempted to contact Nicholas on his mobile, but the call went unanswered as the singer's caller ID failed to identify his friend of 16 years. Lee's memory lingers in Pushing The Senses' lead-off single Tumble And Fall (where Nicholas sings, "Life's not the same since that day you went away"), and a tangible sense of loss and hurt pervades what Nicholas calls "our recovery album". Though Nicholas was recently keen to reassure long-term fans that his band "haven't turned into Keane", the album's mix of melancholia and well-mannered euphoria suggests otherwise.
Unsuprisingly, it's not an album likely to inspire more bedroom air guitar workouts. It is, however, an album that could finally establish Feeder as major league players, after a decade in the business.
Much of the album's potential crossover appeal lies with Tumble And Fall which, with it's chiming guitars and bubbling keyboards and stirring martial beats, bears more than a passing resemblance to Snow Patrol's Run (a good thing, incidentally). Despite it's echoes of past tragedies, it rings with positivity, hope and life. The same redemptive power resonates through the shimmering and soulful Frequency, an open letter to Lee, which Nicholas' most nakedly personal lyrics ever ("You've got to know I think about you every day/You're lying awake on top of silver clouds/You're sending love back down"). This is not a self-absorbed collection though, and while (as with the Manic Street Preachers' post-Rickey Edwards output) there's a temptation here to view ever lyric as emblematic of the past, Pushing The Senses has eyes resolutely fixed on the future.
Feeling A Moment has the optimistic, soaring feel of U2's Beautiful Day. The slow burning Tender finds Nicholas promising, "Time can heal us again" over meticulously layered acoustic and electric guitars. The title track posits the idea that happiness can only be found in pushing forward and moving on. It sounds trite on paper, but inspirational in execution. It may however make long-standing fans yearn for Feeder's more explosive early material: though affecting and rather beautiful album closers Pain On Pain and Dove Grey Sands are more minor-key mood pieces than songs, crying out for arty promotional images of ABC1 lovers pulling one another close on autumnal walks. Cosy, but hardly rock.
Given the colour and shape of Pushing The Senses, it's rather fitting that weeks leading up to it's release found Grant Nicholas rubbing shoulders with Chris Matrin, Fran Healy and Tom Chaplin in the Band Aid 20 sessions. Unlike his three peers, Nicholas was not given a line of his own to sing. The quiet Welshman is unlikely to have been troubled - with Pushing The Senses he's serving notice that his own time in the spotlight begins.

Crud! magazine said....
To nit-pick, or not to nit-pick, that is the question. Or it's my question at least in respect to Feeder's fifth studio album, 'Pushing The Senses' whos ruminative introspection threatens to plod like an elephant over thumping tigerish efforts like 'Buck Rogers', and leave big, baggy pools of melancholy in it's wake.
Many would argue that it was the previous album, 'Comfort In Sound' that really marked the departure from the razor-sharp power pop of breakthrough album 'Echo Park' - but the faltering sadness of tracks like 'Frequency' and the moody, piano led, 'Tender' suggests that Grant Nicholls (yes, it's Nicholls apparently) and co. have sunk to an even greater depths of miserabilia. And why not? The critics liked the last album. So did the fans. So why not more of the same?
Evidentally buoyed by the sheer volume of fragile wretches in the album charts at the moment like Snow Patrol, Keane, Coldplay, 'Pushing The Senses' builds on that same low-loud, low-loud dynamic and whilst 'Pilgrim Soul' occasionally threatens to yield those blistering trademark riffs that earmarked 'Buck Rogers' for greatness there's a thoroughly shameless tendency to emote on just about every other track. 'Pain On Pain' and 'Frequency' struggles mercilessly toward reproducing Mercury Rev's resolute earnestness and simplicity and 'Dove Grey Sands' is as gentle and as whimsical as a handful of daffodils. The productions cliches come screaming to the fore on occasions, and the lyrical approach may lack the subtlety and finesse that much of the music warrants ("facing life alone"/"numbers on a phone") but the sheer hum-ability and noise of tracks like 'Feeling A Moment' and 'Bitter Glass' suggests the band have jumped on a lap or two in a race towards being credible. Dismissing Feeder for being a pop-band is like dismissing the Pope for being Catholic - there are just some things that'll never change and Feeder's Silverchair propensity is one of them.
For all their faults Feeder never seem to dissapoint entirely and this album is no exception: they're still vigorous, they're still euphoric, they're still struggling to be taken seriously by the pernickety indie-market - all that's changed is the pace. And that always happens with age.

What Kerrang! said...
You can't blame Feeder for attempting to move on from the grungey, full bore sound of their early albums. There's only so long you can keep hauling yourself around the toilet circuit, forever propping up the arse-end of the charts. But, Christ, this is a boring record.
God knows what it is about British rock bands at the moment, but the most successful ones are predominantly white, middle class whingers. Bands who write truly awful lyrics about the sky and girls and rain and shit. It's like punk rock never happened. Fuck, it's like rock never happened. It's like 1973 and half the country is carrying a pipe and slippers and yawning along to a generation of insipid sex-less troubadors.
It's a scene into which Grant Nicholas clearly hopes this, Feeder's fifth album, will propel him. Never the most challenging of bands, the trio's continued success runs in direct correlation with the softening of their sound - the more conservative they become, the more records they sell. And 'Pushing The Senses' wear it's conservatism like a Tory does his blue tie.
Painted from a musical palette of pastel colours, songs such as 'Feeling A Moment' and closer 'Dove Grey Sands' (even the titles inspire nothing but postcard images of nothingness) follow formulaic lyrical patterns, chord changes and lush, but uninspiring production. 'Pain On Pain' is a pure post-Coldplay melodrama, featuring backing vocals from Travis - the most pointless band in existance. Even Nicholas' new found falsetto seems too close to Feeder's bland chart contemporaries for comfort. To say they've sold out would be an injustice - but they are treading water.
After all they've been through, it's hard to begrudge them that.

Gigwise said...
Feeder have been around for over a decade, but have never really become the elite band of British rock they nearly promised to be - though the arena tour that ended their last campaign signalled they were heading in the right direction. 'Pushing The Senses' is their fifth album, and will be supported by a UK tour beginning in March. It sees 2005 getting off to a wonderful start musically.
'Feeling A Moment' is a beautiful opener that soars in the chorus and should become a festival anthem. The vocal performance is strong, which is a feature of the record, especially on the powerful 'Bitter Glass'. Lead single 'Tumble And Fall' has been likened to Coldplay, and has a driving chorus as well as touching lyrics. The same can be said of 'Frequency' which refers to the death of former drummer Jon Lee, while 'Tender' is built on a simple piano ballad that sweeps you away on Grant Nicholas' emotional lyrics and voice.
There are an equal number of up-tempo songs here as well, title track 'Pushing The Senses' being both lyrically and musically optimistic. 'Pilgrim Soul' has a similar attitude while being highly dynamic, and 'Morning Life' features another soaring chorus along with intricate bass-driven verses. The only track that fails to shine is 'Dove Grey Sands'. It's a tepid end to what is generally a very inspired album, very possibly Feeder's best. It may not have the full on rock of their previous work, but it is a confident record that may well see the band touring the arenas once again.

Musicmen said...
Feeder return with their 5th studio album, a fantastic mature somewhat introspective rock album.
Single "Tumble and Fall" is a unashamed power-ballad, meloncoly yet catchy and soulful.
If stadium rock wore slippers and smoked a pipe, then Feeder would play there. It's rocking, but not over the top. You get the emotion the lyrics, it's a toned down album when compared to their other albums, but it still rocks.
I really like Feeder and Pushing The Senses is a quality album, I would go so far to say that each track is a potential single - that is not to say they would sell millions, more to say that there aren't any fillers; every track is quite superb.
The one thing I dislike about Feeder in general is that there is a slight americana taint to proceedings. Possibly, this is as a result of them pesky americans copying us back in the day.
Title track Pushing The Senses is a truly fantastic out and out rock song, while Frequency with it's piano and electronic twunks is like a less trippy Mercury Rev.
The album has two sides then:- the mellow rock (Morning Life) and the more rocking songs of old Feeder (Pilgrim Soul). There is certainly more mellow more mature songs than previous Feeder albums, but in my books this makes for a great album.
A great album. If you liked Comfort In Sound, then you will like this. If you were a fan of the first two Feeder albums, then there are classic rock songs too.

Amazon.co.uk said...
Pushing the Senses, Feeders fifth studio album builds on the introspective maturity that made Comfort in Sound a hit with both critics and record-buyers alike. Far removed from the upbeat power-pop of breakthrough Echo Park, Senses owes a greater debt to the sound of Americas mid-west, jumbled up with some quintessentially British song-writing.
"Tumble and Fall", the first single to be lifted, is an un-ashamed power-ballad. The words may be slightly ham-fisted ("tumble and fall, together we crawl"), but the melody catches so brilliantly that the actual lyrical content doesnt matter amidst the soulful verse and explosive chorus. This style of downbeat MOR with epic refrains continues throughout most of the album with only "Pilgrim Soul" forcing out any energy, the rest demonstrating the same quiet restraint that Grant has adopted for his vocals. Whilst the noise has been toned down from their days as festival stalwarts, the sound is still grand, almost stadium sized, but in a more considered and less sweaty way. The influences behind many of the songs seem to drift in then disappear again with echoes of REM ("Pushing the Senses"), Mercury Rev ("Frequency") and Belle & Sebastian ("Dove Grey Sands") making an impression without leaving a mark.
From the ten songs here its difficult to pick stand outs as the quality is un-wavering and the overall sound is very easy to listen to. If their last album was the sound of a band coming of age, Pushing the Senses is the sound of Feeder in the prime of life.

renegades is very good, but i miss the old "feeder" sound. YWTS is the best record for ever.

who cares about chart positions, i just want a new album and songs.

IMPORTANT:
As we all know, the recent Feeder UK singles and album chart positions have been suffering. For example, Tracing Lines/ Silent Cry did not manage to chart within the top 300, We Are The People reached number 25 and dropped out in the first week, and the album itself, Silent Cry, reached only number 8 on the UK albums chart. This sold less than Polythene and couldn't even award Feeder with a Silver Certification. This is the first time this has ever happened.
We all believe that the new song 'Renegades' is a worthy song for another Top 10 single, so I believe this song should be released under the Feeder name as the first single of their Seventh Studio Album. We must not let this song disintigrate and become forgotten under the new side-project also called 'Renegades'.
(Reminder: The Shatter protest was a massive success)

For those of you who were disgusted at the way Feeder's performance of "Just The Way I'm Feeling" was handled by Blink TV on Channel 4's Sonsiphere highlights, then up there ^ is a YouTube link to "Buck Rogers" which shows the band and only the band, and not annoying random people enjoying their festival acting like fools!.
Last time I saw Feeder was at the Nowich UEA, hope they come back there and play "Descend", been long missing from the setlists!!.
When people listen to the song, they only really take into the energy of the track, if you read the lyrics at the same time then you see the track from a different angle. It's like "Just a Day"- everyone at live gigs is chanting the do-do-do back at the band, getting all sweaty leaping up and down, but if you look into the lyrics they're actually very sad in emotion. Having said that, this is one of the things I love about the band. Raygun tried saying that about their music in that embaressing 4PLAY TV feature a few weeks ago!.
Anyways, here's the lyrics for "Descend" if you like to read them while listening to the track! :). Don;t think any other version of the song will beat that one they played at the Warchild Coronet gig!.
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS:
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS
Alone ....alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
CHORUS

Looking through the window shade
Stare at streets that bear no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream
But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn around, see what I see,
Can't help wishing it would
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting still and then we
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse
The more I see, the more it hurts
the more we change it all seems...
See tomorrow
See...
See tomorrow
As it drags me there I fell
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today?
Read the paper, drift away...
Drift away, away
Oh how I hate to feel this way
(Change, change again)
The more I wait for it to change
(Change again, change, unchain myself, I will)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Change, change again)
The more we change it all seems worse
(Change, change again)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Unchain myself)
The more we change it all seems...

"The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
So true, change is not always for the better and that song is brilliant. They should have kept "Waterfall" on Polythene 2 though.

As for "Sentimental", what a song!!!, Feeder go grunge this is for me and can't wait to hear it when it's on the album. Apparently Grant said it's not finished yet so might do some more lyrics on it and add extra verses or guitar parts.
As for the b-sides, so damn right. When I first got into Feeder during the "Echo Park" era, I eventually got all the singles and realised that most of those tracks would not sound out of place on any album. It made me see a different side to the band as well :). "Bring it Together" on "Forget About Tomorrow" may be short, but is a really energetic track that would also be a good track to put at like track 6 on an album as an interlude.

WELL SAID SOH!!!, this is something Carlos and Matt the twat don't appreciate, I many other fans I know can't stand these "Feeder are not the same band anymore!", "Grant's voice is not as good as it was!". UGH, move on and enjoy the music!, the majority of fans can't stand hearing this at all, it's only the minority who moan.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:28:00 by ) -
Oh. my. sweet. jesus.
"Temper Temper my little friend"?, i think you need to go back to Kindergarden, you used an upper case letter TWICE there, and using pathetic childish phrases like "little friend" only makes you look like even more of a little prick than you already are. I'm not trying to sound clever, and I DO have an argument unlike you, you Feeder hater. Call yourself a FAN!?, I think it's you who needs the yellow pages to stand on.
I know nothing about arguments over the internet, more like you do instead as you seem to love starting them up.
Your message was childish, pathetic, and if you you're really think what you said made you look clever then you're terribly mistaken.
I've had a tough week especailly after seeing Ipswich still fail to win a match so far this season, and to read your message made me crackup and cheered me up.
Keep em coming you sad twat, anybody can smack you in the gob, seeing you're so weak and only have a keyboard to fight with.
"Little friend" was obvioulsly relating to my so-called small height, sad, sad, sad. I bet you're a little 6 year old with nothing better to do than slag bands off on the internet. I'd love to see you stand on your yellow pages and say what you said about Grant sounding like an old man to his face. You wouldn't have the guts.
Time to bum off baboon boy!, and keep the insults comnig left right and centre!, I need a laugh!.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:22:00 by ) -
"Sentimental" is a very heavy song. Remember me on Nirvana, BUT NOT ON FEEDER ! ! !
What is happening with this band?
What is happening with Grants voice?! !
I don´t like this NEW Sound, I miss the older sound. "The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
cheers!
(Posted on 2009-08-14 06:55:00 by ) -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........Temper Temper my little friend. You finished swearing? It makes you look really really clever! I love your argument......you havent got one... Your just swearing alot!!! You must be about 8 years old if you swear that much! hahaha. Thats Hilarious. And how exactly would you smack me in the gob....you'll need some yellow pages to stand on first!
I assume you have a lot of arguments over the internet....you seem to know alot about them! I also assume you lose alot by them comments! haha
(Posted on 2009-08-08 12:28:00 by ) -
I just got a hold of all feeders b-sides. Man, i've been missing out. The Song Crash Mat is so good! of course Emily is one of my favorite feeder songs that i've liked for awhile as is Satelite News. The difference between Uk bands and American bands is that the brits release so many b-sides! i love it! I love FEEDER.
(Posted on 2009-08-06 04:44:00 by ) -
I have issues with that word beginning with the letter C, but you made me angry rather than annoyed meaning you made me use it.
If you go onto a Feeder FAN site and bad mouth the band, expect to take critisim for it.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.
Welcome to the Feeder FAN site shoutbox, I've said my piece and whatever you say back at me I'll gladly ignore knowing how much of a moron you really are.
(Posted on 2009-08-03 12:57:00 by ) -
Stop twisiting things also, you said I was biased towards the band and made a point why I'm not and you twisted round to lake it look like "Who's bashing the band now?".
Fuck off you sad c*nt.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:49:00 by ) -
Fuck off you sad Feeder hating twatface, everyone watches South Park for ***ks sake, and unlike you I am aware that there is a real world out there away from a frickin' plastic keyboard.
I'm not bad mouthing the band YOU ARE, the posters on FFS are ace people and calling me a moron is a very, very sad weak attempt to look tough when you are a little sad weakling who couldn't even harm a fly. You are a f*cking moron who should f*ck off to the looney bin where you came from. You have plenty of gob, but when you are not not behind a computer you can't fight back and have nothing to back it up.
You deserve a massive left hook in the gob, shame us Feeder fans don't know what you look like so we can beat you all up to a bluddy pulp.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:39:00 by ) -
Haha, no, i didnt get that from south park, but obvisously you've been spending too much time on your tv and computer world to know that. You don't like the Just a day video? Who's bad mouthing the band now? eh? I give it to posters here, i like em, but f**k me, i'm glad there not as stupid as you! lol. Moron.
(Posted on 2009-07-30 15:22:00 by ) -
It's all the time with any long-running band.
You'll get one half of the fan base bashing the band for not "sounding like their old material anymore" and the other saying they're still a good band as always or even better than they were in the beginning.
It's the price any band pays for evolving with their sound, rather than sticking with the same formula all the time, e.g. Napalm Death.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:30:00 by ) -
"Its like talking to christians about evolution! lol."
Watching too much "South Park" are we?, get a life, the real world is outside a computer and a TV series universe. Stop trying to sound clever with silly sounding statements, you only make youself look even more of a twat.
I am not single minded about the band, for a start the "Just a Day" video to me is a pile of poo and "Tumble and Fall" is their worse single.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:25:00 by ) -
No shut up yourself, we are not single minded in our views. This crap you're mention about bands not getting all good reviews is shit, look at Arcade Fire- not one bad word is said about them.
I'm getting annoyed with the likes of you spamming this shoutbox. Also, leave the FFS proboarders alone, they're a nice bunch unlike you!.
Twat.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:22:00 by ) -
lol, shut up Annoyed!!!!! I'm starting to get annoyed myself with peoples 1 minded views on here and the boards. Critism is good! A band can't get good reviews contantly!
These boards are turning into 1 minded crap...Its like talking to christians about evolution! lol
(Posted on 2009-07-19 08:23:00 by ) -
Hi all....
Does anyone have a Best Days CD they might like to sell - e-mail me - I will offer a very good price.
Thanks

(Posted on 2009-07-09 16:29:00 by ) -
That's right agree with Matt the twat and his stupid patheitc garbage his gums are chuttering out.
Keep off this website, it's for FANS not trolls to trash-talk the band.
(Posted on 2009-07-06 14:16:00 by ) -
Agrees with matt!
(Posted on 2009-06-14 10:39:00 by ) -
I just feel that Grant's voice has changed after Pushing the Senses.
Silent Cry he had a different voice. He sounds completely different then how he sounded on High and Satelite News and other greats. If he brings back his old voice, whatever they put out will be golden. The voice he's using now makes him sound old.

To those who love Feeder check the jacket (feeder army jacket) I have just posted on e-bay. It is an unique piece of clothing any fan of feeder would love to have!!! I'm going to travel around the world so I need the money...

I am a Feeder Fan since 1998 ( sweet 16)
and i like the sound of SWIM, POLYTHENE and YWTS, but not SEVEN SLEEPERS! That´s my meaning.
(Posted on 2009-03-21 11:06:00 by ) -
how on earh can you say that about "Seven Sleepers"?!, there is no pleaseing anyone.
Jon lee is a legend unlike yourself.
(Posted on 2009-03-20 23:46:00 by ) -
Seven Sleepers E.P.
is the worst record ever!!! This is not the typical Feeder sound i like. Grants voice is not the same like on evry record in the past!
I hope Feeder go back to the roots with the next record.
Jon Lee forever! cheers.
(Posted on 2009-03-19 18:01:00 by ) -
7 Sleepers is awesome rock! If you are a true feeder fan then you will LOVE the sound that Grant delivers on these new tracks! Im so addicted to these tracks its unreal...

Ja es gibt tatsächlich ein paar Feeder Fans in Deutschland, die sich so sehr eine Tour wünschen und auch mal ein richtiges Label, damit auch Feeder mal in Deutschland ein bisschen bekannter wird

I remember Mark saying on the Feederweb webchat in 2004, when I was one of the competition winners to meet him on the same day, that he likes BLT as one of his faves :).
Am so relieved everybody is alright :), was a real shocker when I read the headline.

:O thankfully no-one was hurt in the shocking Feeder tour bus fire! - I'd be happy to make up a food parcel for them now all their catering has been destroyed... wonder what kind of sandwiches they like? ;)

time for fan power once more guys, lets flex our muscles and remind them why we're the best group of fans around, we did it for Shatter, now add your voice to the campaign to get a physical Tracing Lines/Silent Cry release AND a new track!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/feeder/
(Posted on 2008-07-30 12:49:00 by ) -
'Tracing Lines' release date has been moved from 11th August to 25th August. More to wait! :(
A good thing is that you can download 'Somewhere to Call Your Own' by digital download.
I wonder if the next single will come out on a physical copy as well as a digital one...I hope it does...
New single is on the Feederweb:

That is possibly my favourite review...of anything...ever.
I'm never gonna be able to listen to Miss You without laughing away to myself ever again. Maybe i should avoid listening to it on the bus then...hmmmn.

Bloody hell, I hate it when a decent album like Feeder's doesn't get well known. I guess give it another month or two, it will probably get more popularity when an advert pops on TV or something.
(Posted on 2008-07-09 12:55:00 by ) -
Agree... Feeder need to come to Australia. If small little indie artists can make it over here, why can't feeder?!

What happened to the lyrics page? Is it being updated?
(Posted on 2008-07-07 17:59:00 by ) -
I love Feeder's new album :]
what i hate is that i live in Australia and they havent toured here since 2000 i think its time for another visit its been so long and its time to come back around again.
what marcus said its so true...plus they deserve more then what they got now but hey at least there selling records and got a good fan-base too

Nothings funny about a mean review when it's band you like. Why is it when Feeder get bad reviews the writer really, REALLY rips into them?!, it don't happen to other bands. Pathetic and childish, that's what it is.

Grant, focus on the promotion/advertising for the big release. Feeder is one of my 2 favorite bands and i even managed to miss this recent annoucements due to wrong facebook pages etc. Its known whoever run the advertising things are bad as i remember i won an sms compition on the website once for loch lomand. . Advertise! there is already alot of chatter now from my friends n friends since i found out and posted the word ..
