"Feed me, Singles!"

??

"The Singles (mad love for the thought that went into that title, boys)"

To be honest, they've never been the most creative have they?

My interest in them flickered slightly when they brought out Comfort In Sound, but looking back it was also another average album in a long string of average albums. Did I mention they are quite average? Averageaverageaverage.

I noticed that too, the average and extremely boring recent albums have highlighted now boring they've been all along really no?

Comfort in Sound was pretty good, 'cos in spite of some rubbish lyrics, there at least seemed to be some kind of genuine feeling in it. The last album was rubbish though, it just felt like a horribly contrived attempt to recreate Comfort in Sound. I really can't see Feeder ever making anything close to a decent album again... (Having said that, I'll still end up buying the Singles collection too!)

Have tested this thesis using subjects such as Paul Daniels, Damon Albarn, The Scorpions and U2.

Alas the scientists in our labs consist of a GNVQ science evening class and subsequently found the results inconclusive as to the exact definition of "doing something right" and it's effects on longevity. However professor Special Brew at the University of Hard Knocks is alleged to be making a breakthrough in similar research testing the thesis of "doing something wrong".

The blandness and repetition has apparently rendered as endearing by a wide spread of demographics who regard them as safe and enjoyable as white bread rolls, chips and The Rolling Stones.

Lost and Found is a gem, just what I was hoping for. Just heard a clip of it on myspace. If they carry this sound into their next album, it should be a good one

It's ten years this year since I sent off for the free 2 track Feeder cassette in Kerrang - I was 15 and they excited me. Now I'm 25 and they bore me to tears!

They're one of those bands that had some great songs, but a lot of average ones too. And for me, they never managed to capture the vibe of their early live shows on record.

i think if you lost a drummer to suicide you'd find it difficult to get over, too.

Other news: i once threw an orange at Taka. Not a tangerine.

Don't get the album. There's literally hundreds of thousands of better albums you could buy for less money that you would enjoy much much more.

Why spend money on mediocrity?

I don't understand people...

Fa, its not worth the money really.

But to Thommo. I wouldn't get over it, but I wouldn't let it curse the rest of my music. I think five years is enough time to move on from your mate hanging himself. Either he was a major part of their 'popness', or Grant Nicholas is a boring tart.

Look at New Order. They didn't sit around writing crap about dying and feeling sorry for themselves.
