like The Feeling's debut, Twelve Stops and Home. People who come to this album having only heard the catchy-yet-downbeat single "Sewn" might find the jaunty, upbeat tone of the rest of this album a refreshing surprise. Twelve Stops and Home is pure, summery optimism, with most tracks bouncing along at a happy, head-nodding pace, and packed to the brim with simple, singalong lyrics, including the liberal use of "la-la-la" and "na-na-na". Sure it's lightweight, but that's no bad thing--it cuts like a ray of sunshine right through the knee-hugging depression of contemporaries Coldplay and Keane, with whom the Feeling are sometimes, bizarrely, compared. Instead, Twelve Stops and Home is a pop album straight out of the 1970s, played by young men with guitars and a piano. Which explains why "Fill My Little World" and "I Want You Now" are so cheerful, sounding like Squeeze would have if they sang about puppies. On Twelve Stops and Home, the Feeling may not be out to change the world, but they're happy to make it a bit brighter. --Ted Kord

...Sussex and London, and Twelve Stops and Home is their debut album.

The Feeling
(The Album)
This is the band's debut album, and was released on the 6th June 2006 on Island Records.
The album has been titled because Dan grew up in Bounds Green in London, and it's twelve stops between Leicester Square to Bounds green on the Picadilly Line of the Tube. The picadilly line is shown ... ...title "Blue Picadilly", which includes the lyrics of the albums' title.
For a debut album, it has done remarkably well in a very short space of time, and the band are touring all over the world, bring the live versions of their songs to the masses. They hit Newcastle in November, but initial inquiries suggest that they're sold out here, so I'm just going to have to cry myself to sleep for a few nights to get over it. (I'm not joking, I'm truly gutted!!)

Twelve Stops and Home - The Feeling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^
Let me tell you a story, perhaps the oldest story in the world. It's a story of love: love desired, love found and, finally, love lost. Ah, we've all been there. But scratch that, I think I'll let some friends of mine tell you the story. Let me introduce you to four nice young lads who call themselves 'The Feeling'. Yeah, it's a stupid name ... ...call them art students while we're at it, have really put themselves through the mill this time as this tale is rather more complex than the normal boy meets girl scenario. It runs from initial coveting through a very short romance and leads to rejection, pleading, stalking, general sour grapes and finally to some self-delusional acceptance. Again, I think we've all been there.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The Feeling and their tragic tale of ...

Advantages: Catchy tunes, upbeat summer album Disadvantages: Some tracks aren't worth it
...songs (in my opinion) on Twelve Stops And Home.
Track 2: Never Be Lonely 9/10
"People in love get fast and foolish, people in love get everything wrong..."
One of the best songs on the album, Never Be Lonely is a fresh little mix of great singing, a catchy chorus (AND verses!) and you've just got to hear the line "B..b..b..baby, I think I'm going c..c..c..crazy" and you'll be singing it all day long. There's even a guitar solo on this track - ... ...wait too long!) and fill it with upbeat summer choruses that they're getting to be well-known for now.
I would definitely recommend Twelve Stops From Home - it's well worth a buy. The cheapest I've found it for you guys is at 4cheapcds.com, for just £7.99. Bargain! ...

TWELVE STOPS AND HOME
---------------------------------
Have you heard of this relatively new band - The Feeling? If you haven't, I'm sure you will. If you have, I'd say there's more than a fair chance that you like their music.
The Feeling practically appeared out of nowhere towards the end of 2005 when their debut single - 'Fill My Little World' was given a limited release but was played with great frequency on ... ...of the same name. The twelve stops referred to in the album title are the twelve stops on the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground (Leicester Square to Bounds Green).
The style of music performed by The Feeling immediately has an air of familiarity about it. I recall my fiancée's sister talking about 'Never Be Lonely' (released on August 28, 2006 and reaching number 9 in the singles chart) when we heard it on the radio and her mentioning that ...

Advantages: Hey it makes me feel good Disadvantages: none
...about life in general, but Twelve Stops and Home is such an album. It contains 12 tracks 4 of which have had good chart success so that is a good indication as to the standard of the tracks.
I WANT YOU NOW
This is quite an up tempo number and is quite catchy once you've heard it a few times. It is definitely not the strongest track on the album, but it is pleasant and gets the toes tapping.
NEVER BE LONELY
This track is just great, it is a slowish ... ...chorus it soon lifts you up even though the lyrical content is somewhat sad the overall feel is that of joy. I kinda got the impression he had lost a love but wasn't too bothered about it. This is the first track on the album which was a chart hit.
FILL MY LITTLE WORLD
Another up tempo number with starts of slowly and builds up. Yet again this is a catchy number which will have you joining in in no time at all. One of the strongest tracks.

Album Notes: Some bands dive deep into classic rock radio fetishism and emerge with their own take on the tradition. The Feeling--a London quintet that spent many years as a cover band before composing original material--are capable of writing some incredibly catchy songs yet haven't quite figured out what makes themselves tick. Still, despite the lack of an immediate signature, the Feeling's Island debut, TWELVE STOPS AND HOME, features strong hook-filled songwriting and well performed, modernized '70s FM pop. The band is clearly talented and have released an album that, while not perfect, points to brilliant things to come.
