    A playful effort that comes from an ease with pop hooks and power-pop chords, a knowledge of how to employ a steady beat.

    With Feel The Sound, it's only the music that matters and the urge to enjoy it couldn't be more compelling.

    Imperial Teen sound here like they're trying to squeeze some new flavor out of a chewed-up piece of gum.

    Imperial Teen and their "Feel the Sound" is holding a good level of indie rock. Songs such as rock "Runaway", "All The Same" or similar to the Garbage "Hanging About" and the swinging "Do not Know How You Do It" are quickly memorable. This CD is not full of distinctive composition comparing with rest of material, but perhaps this is an advantage of this album, those 40 minutes go by very quickly.… Expand
