Mojo
Here is a pop masterpiece so toe-tapping and huggable that we might just have to rearrange the canon. [Mar 2008, p.106]
Observer Music Monthly
Join With Us's classic radio pop unveils a band so accomplished, so guilelessly in love with the joy of a good melody, that they now sound like no one but themselves.
Read Full Review >Dot Music
A whole album as hyperactive would be exhausting, of course, but unlike the majority of indie plodders, The Feeling have real range.
Read Full Review >Hot Press
Join With Us proves The Feeling are the band most likely to give power-pop a good name.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
When they stop bing so smart, Join With Us becomes more rewarding. [Mar 2008, p.106]
The Guardian
Despite their confidence, the writing seems flat, which leads you to concentrate more on the gaudy settings than the songs.
Read Full Review >Uncut
Album two finds them pressing the Gilbert O'SuperTramp button with gusto. [Mar 2008, p.87]
