This sixth studio album offering from feeder 'silent cry' also happens to be the name of the most disappointing song on the album. Don't get me wrong its a good song but it lacks something that we get from many of their other songs on the album such as 'tracing lines' and 'miss you'. Silent cry seems to be a showing of their entire career. They have gone back to heavier guitars that you got on earlier offerings like polythene, though not quite as heavy. However lyrically and vocally it seems more like pushing the senses so its quite a bizarre mix but it does work. I wouldn't class this album as their best work but it is a great album and i would advise people to purchase this and any other feeder album they can get their hands on. Fans of pushing the senses mightn't like this as much but I believe if they give it a chance they would learn to love it. There are a few tracks that are growers like 'we are the people' that take a few times listening to them to appreciate them. Everytime I listen to each song I find something new in the music that makes me love the song more. So in summing up you should definately buy or download this album. If you are unsure check out feeders myspace page as they have the entire album for you to listen to on there minus the bonus tracks from the deluxe edition which for the extra cost is well worth purchasing it instead.

Advantages: High tempo, rock-outability and rhythm with a little intelligence. Disadvantages: Un-distinctive blasting on down the lines, songs lack diversity, needs more hard work.
