...in musical direction. #5: Comfort In Sound As the album's title track, I think it marks musically what Feeder were trying to do during the making of this record; release their feelings towards their friends premature death whilst trying to make sense of it themselves. Whilst not taking on as much of a mellower sounding guitar melody as previous track did, I think it is very much the conversation Grant wishes he could have had with Jon. That, and ...

...slow rock 120 bpm dirge.”), Comfort in Sound simply glows with light and shade. Carefully sequenced, each track complements and counterpoints the one before, bringing the whole thing together into a single cohesive piece. Someone has put a lot of thought into this and the sum of the parts benefits from it. The production on the tracks themselves is thoughtful and light of touch using lots of nice little devices like the vintage synth sound ...
...the sweeping Moog glissandos in Keith Emerson’s “Lucky Man” it is pure ear candy, as is the clever use of stereo “ping-pong” on the guitar arpeggio at the end of the same track. Oh yes, someone really knew what they were doing when they put this album together. Not only are the songs themselves pure delight with not a bad track in sight, but also the breadth and depth of the sound canvas is awesome, ranging freely from ...

Review of Comfort In Sound - Feeder

Feeder. Comfort in Sound. This the Welsh (Brit rock) bands fourth album. I read on the internet that it was released in the same year that their drummer committed suicide and is heavily influenced by this event (2002). This was not something I was aware of when I bought it. I have to say, I have not really gotten into anything else they have done, but this is a fair bit different to some of their singles, which had been my only other exposure to ...
...this. 8/10. Track 5. Comfort in sound. A really accomplished offering this, really sounds like the vocals and lyrics mean something: "Comfort in sound it's all around, ease back the strain, come heal your pain". Great musically, very like Nickleback or Staind. Great stuff 9/10. Track 6. Forget about tomorrow. This song just seems to start, no intro, as if the first few bars were played somewhere else, we are straight into mid song and it is ...

Review of Comfort In Sound - Feeder

Feeder are a group who seem to have sneaked into the spotlight, and many people wrongly assume they are a band who have experienced overnight success. In fact, by 2001, the group had amassed 14 hit Top 50 singles, most of which passed people by, and it was not until they released the magnificent Buck Rogers that they gained themselves a whole new fanbase. At the end of 2001, things were on the up for the band, but within weeks they were devastated ...
...The band (Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose) were left with a lot of thinking to do, and the main question was should they, and more importantly could they carry on without Jon. This album is the result of the decision to carry on, and each song seems to be part of the healing process which the band embarked on after such a momentus loss. Who could they replace Lee with? It was a hard choice, but eventually they decided on Mark Richardson, previously ...

...around for some time now; Comfort in Sound is their fifth album to date. The progression over time is quite easy to spot from the darker and harder days of ‘Polythene’ and ‘Swim’ to the more commercially successful ‘Echo Park’ and now ‘Comfort in Sound’. Founding member Jon Lee has been replaced by ex- Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richards. This change has been made reasonably quickly and seems to have slotted in reasonably easily. Japanese bassist ...
...success with their latest work. Comfort in Sound went into the album top 10 and has remained in the higher reaches for several months while the singles also have entered the charts. They are more recognisable and fully deserve their success. If their newer sound does get them more fans – fair play to them. ‘Comfort in Sound’ is a good way for new fans to get into Feeder. It is an easier listen than some of their other work, and then if you enjoy ...

...sad at times. 5) Comfort In Sound The title track just about sums up everything about Feeder and this new album for me, it's all very hopeful feeling and forward looking and sounds beautiful in a bittersweet way. 6) Forget About Tomorrow This one sounds like U2 at the beginning. It makes me smile especially around "today it all feels fine"... Maybe that's not a very good way of describing it. More Smashing Pumpkinesque strings crossed with some ...
...Gone This is another vaguely melancholy song but has a very epic sounding classic Feeder sound. 8) Godzilla This is the most "rocky" song on the album. It's different from the rest of the album in that it's more Feeder just rocking out where the rest of the album seems for carefully considered. 9) Quickfade The song that seems to be most about Jon, though the words could apply to a number of other situations. This is the main reason that listening ...

...and let it go” Comfort In Sound The title track of the album and I truly believe that is what is has provided. It is surely a way of comforting against the loss of John and moving on, progressing and honouring the memory of a friend. Quote the lines – “Solution gone, emotions ablaze A life so strong just faded away You find yourself searching for a quick release A new belief” Once again this has truly anthemic virtues and trips along beautifully ...
...tapping all the way. Forget About Tomorrow This song uses a beautiful orchestral string arrangement and is flawless in its composition. In my opinion this is a real breakthrough song for Feeder, after all “Today it all feels fine A sense of freedom fills your mind Can’t think about tomorrow Just breathe the air inside And bring on back that lonely smile” Summers Gone Even I can play this on my guitar (well the intro anyway). There are simply ...

...look at their latest offering Comfort In Sound. Written recorded and released after the death of drummer Jon Henry Lee the album really comes across as a step on from Echo Park. The tracks all written by Grant were a kind of therapy to help him come to terms with his fiend and band mates death. They brought in a replacement in ex Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson to take over the duties on this album and I believe he has taken over on a permanent ...

The lead into the vocals is a constant guitar before a slow drumbeat comes in a bit louder. The song drifts along and shows the new mature Feeder straight from ...

...new drummer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Comfort in Sound has been described by the band as their tribute to Jon and it is an incredibly moving album. Grant's lyrics are very open and honest, reflecting their personal feelings on the tragedy. They are certainly the most meaningful lyrics that he has ever written - no 'drinking cider from a lemon' on this album. Grant's vocal approach has also changed completely on this album and you sense that he is making ...

...and meaningful lyrics. 5. Comfort In Sound The title song for the album,...and yes it is a very good song. "You tear yourself apart, wishing to be born again, a different man." These direct and personal lyrics are very warming and reassuring to listen to on one of 'those' days. 6. Forget About Tomorrow Wonderful wonderful bubbly tune. Definitely one to be listened to in the car, with the windows or roof down powering through the country roads... ...
...Gone Sad and gloomy to be quite honest. Not one of my favourites, but being such a dedicated fan, I'll still appreciate it! 8. Godzilla This is 'the' loud and keraaazy song from the album! It's very upbeat and very much rock. Not overly my type of song, but well balances the album. 9. Quick Fade A rather sad song, with deep meaningful lyrics. This contrasts the other songs, and provides a relief from the bubbly and more upbeat singles. 10. ...

The song in my view is a bit to calm and mellow for my liking. Doesn't make it a bad song though. 07. Summers Gone This is one of my favourites as i love the riff in the intro. The rest of the ...

...as Echo Park and Polythene, Comfort in Sound really shows what the band are capable of. Every song (apart from Godzilla - we'll talk about that later) is a masterpiece and deseves to be listened to properly- go out and get the best hi-fi money can buy, set it up in a quiet place (eg. the desert), crank up the bass and endulge in pure aural bliss. By far one of the best songs on the album is "Comfort in Sound"; heavy on the bass, yet with excellent ...

...Quiet, slow, reflective 9/10 Comfort In sound: The title track. This sound basically sums up the whole album as well. Heavy and quiet. Brings out the mourning of the drummer. 10/10 Forget About Tomorrow: Best song on the album. Amazing lyrics and Grants favorite feeder song. 10/10 Summer's gone: A lovely melodic song. 8/10 Godzilla: A sudden burst of heavy guitars and screamed lyrics 6/10 Quick Fade: Similar to Summers Gone and is my favorite ...
...More energetic and acoustic. This song brings the album into a sense that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Released as a 4th single 10/10 Love Pollution: Lovely tune and lyrics. One of my favorite on the album. 10/10 Moonshine: Nice slow song, that ends the album on a melancholy note. Overall this album is 10/10. It doesn't change mood but doesn't bore you either. This album is in my top 5. Brilliant, catchy, and possibly some of the best ...
