Feeder to split?

Yes! 2005 keeps getting better and better.

I'm this bothered

*Holds finger and thumb in the air, roughly half an inch apart*

Please, please to goodness, let this be true. Keep mediocrity off of our streets and stereos

i thought the last album was pretty good.
bitter glass was a fantastic tune.

agreed, none of it was totally original (what is these days), but is a pretty solid album.

never liked them really before that album.
especially buck rogers *shudder*

you look well old there

He is really old :P

He's got a bit of a George Bush smirk going on there.

They used to be so, so good, before they went soft. Anyone remember the tour with My Vitriol as support? That was hella good.

The new Feeder tune rocks. Anyone heard it?It's called Shatter.

There is a God.

pleasepleasepleaseplease.

i would like to still like them, but it is true they are now a pile of poo, should have quit after the release of polythene in hindsight

'swim' was pretty good. comfort in sound was hella unsubtle though - 'feel we're going down, 6 feet below the ground.' or was it 10 feet? curiouser and curiouser.

See I didn't even know they were still going, I guess on the last album they reverted to dog whistle status...

Yes I went to that! and I met som in the baras bar, awesome. Back in the day!

I went to that. IT WAS POO! Utah Saints DJ Set? POO!

they should never have formed, brain dead dogshit, they are.

i cant believe what some of the people on this terrible site think, feeder have been producing great music for years and they always wanna try something different on each album. asol feeder and one hell of a band live. i would like to see what some of the people on here listen to

"pink All Star-wearing fella"

Jesus Christ. Pure Smash Hits writing style. Is that all we deserve?

Describing that single as "shit" is pure lack of vocabulary too.

I despair sometimes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...hearing 20 thou Scots singing their hearts out to Buck Rogers at the T In The Park after John Lee (who I knew) topped himself was one of the most powerfully pathos ridden moments I've ever had at a gig, made me cry, though from the above parentheses it is apparent I'm hardly objective. Comfort In Sound was pretty heart rending for the same reason. Overall though, I always found them master craftsmen rather than artists.... but then as KP's article about by-numbers bands covered...isn't that what nearly all the 'top' bands are these days???

I think they should have brought the album out where they dealt with John Lee's death, their 'Back In Black', if you will, and then perhaps tried something new, rather than continue with Feeder. Mark Richardson's a good drummer, but not as idiosyncratic as the guy he replaced.... a three piece is SO defined by the style of it's three members that any line-up change is pretty much a fundamental overhaul.

'i would like to see what some of the people on here listen to'

Click on some people's profiles then. People are hardly secretive about it. And for the record, Feeder really aren't as good as they used to be. And to be honest, they weren't that great in the first place. Now that the songs have slowed down (or 'matured' if you must), Grant's shoddy lyrics stand out more than ever.

Feeder have always been mediocre ...their first album was their best since then they have become a lession in why MOR indie pop is banal.

Mr Squeders has a point. Half the news stories on this site just descend into continuous slagging off of any band that's managed to flog a few records. I wouldn't mind, but when the criticism rarely goes into any other depth than "they're shit" then interesting reading it does not make. Come on, even Feeder are more articulate than some of the above posts!
