Review: Feeder saw their joint biggest hit to date in a good time for rock ...
...10-year career span. However Pushing The Senses, in time, may be the big album for Feeder - going top 2 makes it their biggest chart position to date (Comfort In Sound reached #6 and went 2x platinum). This album is predominantly an indie album, with just a couple of true 'rock-out' moment in all 10 tracks, so indeed, 2005 could be their year, with soft indie rock seeming to be the way forward. The album's opener is Feeling A Moment, which kick-starts ...

Review of Pushing The Senses - Feeder

...a slightly new sound and Pushing The Senses is no different. The suicide of drummer Jon Lee brought about all sorts of rumours of the band splitting up. The last album had been recorded with the help of ex Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson. There were numerous doubts over whether Grant and Taka would carry on after Comfort In Sound. They answered these rumours by naming Mark as Jon’s permanent replacement and promptly headed out on tour to promote ...
...The more mature sound of Pushing The Senses is miles away from the debut album Polythene and cements the bands place as one of the best British bands around. The last album was good but still included a few tracks that didn’t really inspire me as a listener. It seems that this time Grant has got the blend just right. Nothing really stands out from the rest of the album; instead each track is consistently good and as near to the perfect sound as a ...

Review of Pushing The Senses - Feeder

...weren't expected. But Pushing the Senses was always going to be a decisive album: Would Feeder return to their Echo Park days, or would the new found fame and apparently successful last two albums lead them further into the pop-melody driven world of synth, strings and over production? The opening track, Feeling A Moment, is the undoubted stand out track. It has the energy and uplifiting melodies of old Feeder, with the emotional release expected ...
...grieving. The howls bursting in over the acoustic guitar dispelled any fears I had - here were a Feeder I could agree with. The opening track, unfortunately, is misleading. The next nine all leave something to be desired, differing only marginally from one another. The tracks are perfectly good songs, not offensively bad, but nor are they particularly good. The energy lacks, the tongue has been removed from the cheek, and the band no longer seems ...

Review of Pushing The Senses - Feeder

So the latest installment from the genius that is Feeder. This album may not seem all that different to Comfort in Sound, but that is due to the tragic loss of Jon Henry Lee in 2002. Grant Nicholas has stated himself that all their music nowadays is about the meaning of what it is like to be alive. Anyway, the new album has 10 songs, they are: 1.Feeling a moment (Has been released as a single) 2.Bitter Glass 3.Tumble & Fall (Has been released ...
...8.Pilgrim Soul 9.Pain on Pain 10.Dove Grey Sands Feeling a moment is a song that many of you will have heard already and in my opinion, is the best song on the album...but not by much. In fact at least 7 of these songs could be released and do well as singles. Quite a few of the songs are what some people may descibe as 'depressing' but in my experience of listening to them I feel they are quite uplifting with 'hidden' messages in the lyrics. ...

...and thought provoking. The title Pushing the senses dosent nearly describe the experience of listening to all 10 tracks. Each track relates to the name of the album and has its own story to tell. I own this album as well as many other feeder albums and would say it is one of their finest creations. Its unique and original and not many other bands can be compared to feeder. Overall it is a fantastic album its great value for money and for new feeder ...
