Critic Reviews

80 Mojo
Here is a pop masterpiece so toe-tapping and huggable that we might just have to rearrange the canon. [Mar 2008, p.106]
80 musicOMH.com
It's just impossible to hate something so glorious.
80 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.
80 Dot Music
A whole album as hyperactive would be exhausting, of course, but unlike the majority of indie plodders, The Feeling have real range.
70 Hot Press
Join With Us proves The Feeling are the band most likely to give power-pop a good name.
60 Q Magazine
When they stop bing so smart, Join With Us becomes more rewarding. [Mar 2008, p.106]
40 The Guardian
Despite their confidence, the writing seems flat, which leads you to concentrate more on the gaudy settings than the songs.
40 Uncut
Album two finds them pressing the Gilbert O'SuperTramp button with gusto. [Mar 2008, p.87]
