    This album was my second favourite of all time, behind only Silent Cry (I'm a massive Feeder fan). Feeling A Moment is pure brilliance, whenever I'm feeling seriously down I put that on and the world seems far, far better, despite it's bittersweet lyrics. I love every song on the album, but I agree that Tumble and Fall should not have been the lead single because it's just not upbeatThis album was my second favourite of all time, behind only Silent Cry (I'm a massive Feeder fan). Feeling A Moment is pure brilliance, whenever I'm feeling seriously down I put that on and the world seems far, far better, despite it's bittersweet lyrics. I love every song on the album, but I agree that Tumble and Fall should not have been the lead single because it's just not upbeat enough, and Pain on Pain and Dove Grey Sands are a bit dull but still great. There are songs on this that sound like Keane and Coldplay, but Feeder actually started years before both of them and they have gone through many styles, even on this album alone, so there's only a few songs with those similarities.

    Feeder just get worse and worse. This sounds like the soundtrack to a boring man's coma. Weak and lame. GO AWAY FEEDER!!

    A very disapointing album given the succes of echo park and comfort in sound. it starts very promising with its opening track. Then the only track that is worth listening to is pushing the senses, a top song with great catchy riffs and melody. Feeder with this album have tried to diverse from something which did not need to be altered. feeder are renoun for good hard brittish rock and A very disapointing album given the succes of echo park and comfort in sound. it starts very promising with its opening track.

The biggest thing that springs to mind when listening to this album, is why change something Expand

    Excellent album. Comparisons drawn with Keane and Coldplay may be half-true, but Feeder have their own individual sound, still keeping parts of their old sound in this album.

    When I first got this album I was dissapointed. I thought I would be getting a wider variety of songs not, what at first hearing, sounded all the same.

I stuck with this album and gradually, after about 5 times, realised how different and how good (all but Dove Grey Sands which is actually really crap!) actually were. This is an album I can listen to over and over again and each time I struggle to decide which song is the best. If you are looking for harder rock then try Feeders earlier stuff but this album is just as good but in different ways. Dissapointed that Shatter and Victoria were not included on the album and the it was a bit short but still ranks up there with their other great albums (Echo Park and Swim). Expand

    Radio-friendly FM rock for those who find Doves and Elbow too harrowing and upbeat. Feeder used to be a rock band, and a good rock band. Unfortunately, this is pedestrian shite, lacking in the hooks that made them a great band, in fact lacking any charm whatsoever. Feeder are dying.

    Oh look its the worst lyricist in the world! And yes, the music is a waste of a good studio!

    Not quite as good as Polythene, but excellent none the less.

    If this record was a person, I would stamp on this persons foot very hard indeed for being predictably boring and uninspiring. Hopefully then they would go away never to return.

    At first listen, this album can seem a little samey, but then as soon as you hear it another time, you realise how good this album is, both lyrically and musically. ok, this is in a different league to polythene and swim, but in the league its in, it has to be somewhere near the top.

    "Go away Feeder"!!???, what on earth are you talking about!!?, they will be here for ages, and have been making and releasing music for 12 years now!!. This album was voted best album to be released by a Welsh act in 2005, the perfect middle-finger to all those who gave them a hard time just for doing something they love- making music.

This album was voted best album to be released by a Welsh act in 2005, the perfect middle-finger to all those who gave them a hard time just for doing something they love- making music. This album is an amazing journey, and is Feeder's own sound, not all this "Coldplay this, Coldplay that" inspired music. "Tumble and Fall" as good as it was, definetly shouldn't have been the first single, but don't let that put you off!!!. Each song on the album really has something special to it, and goes to show you can create a great rock album without heavy guitars and the like. Expand

    10 Good tracks but the album sounds unfinished and should have contained some more feelgood killertracks like the titletrack Pushing The Senses (=Feeder like we knew them). Despite this, tracks like Morning Life, Bitter Glass and the beautiful Pain On Pain and Dove Grey Sands are worth the admission!

    Brilliant album, and shows that maturity doesn't come at a price. They still have the distinctive sound of Feeder, but all thats changed is the mood and the songwriting. Maybe different to Polythene, Swim etc but just as good, if not better in places!!!

  1. I have to accept that the band I once loved is now nothing more than a distant memory. Songs such as 'Tangerine' and 'Crash' have long been replaced by the new sound which owes much more to Keane and Coldplay in their melancholic approach.

    Mostly it's just a heavily lacquered drone, an album so restrained as to sound almost calculated. [29 Jan 2005, p.58]

    An album that could finally establish Feeder as major league players. [Feb 2005, p.92]
