    Feathers is a thousand times more focused and mature than [Shivering King], and it's all for the better.
  2. Dusted Magazine

    A gorgeously euphonic skull-crusher.

    While they might not track as much rich sonic mud over these tracks as they have on past albums, it doesn't hurt for a band to clean up every once in a while. [#9]

    I'm not really rating the album, I'm rating how amazing they are live. Last night I saw them live at the Black Cat opening for Blue Cheer. I was standing right next to the speaker so I good really feel it and it was amazing. One of the best shows I've ever been to.… Expand

    My true love for this album compels me to give it a 10, but to be fair and objective, i'll give it a 9. The album from start to finish is a coherent gathering of well structured songs, evocotive of a mood that music has lacked for far too long. This is meant to be heard in one long sit-down session, perceptive of the peaks, valleys, and spaces in between. The main criticism of this as opposed to the former album is that it is toned down a bit, and I think in this case it is a good thing; the arrangement of these songs represents the best showing of talent that Dead Meadow has produced to date. The only thing I did not like was the next to last track, with all it's uesless noise. I really don't like noise tracks that much.… Expand

    Dead Meadow craft an intelligent, psychedelic outing with Feathers. Each track seems to hold a different mood but it all flows together in the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it the whole way through. B+… Expand
