    Not amazing by any means, but it's great to see a band like Feeder remind us that the kind of music you could hear on the radio can still be vastly enjoyable.

  1. A remarkable turnaround then, and although not quite a 360 degree shift, this is a damn fine record that Feeder should be proud of.
  2. The confidence of a band that took over a year to record the album is notable, and theirs is an assured voice.
