Feeder - Comfort In Sound (CD 2002)

Comfort in sound is in many's opinion Feeder's best album (not quite my own thought, I actually think this is almost their worse), it was released back in 2002. Actually it's got many of their greatest songs and some great album tracks, sometimes better than the singles taken from this album. This is surely their softest and most melodic work, after the death of one member of the band, the drummer Jon Lee, who was in fact replaced by Mark Richardson. The songs of this album that were released as singles are: Come back around (a hard, melodic song, it has a great impact on the album), Just the way I'm feeling (the best work off this album in my opinion, a mid-tempo ballad), Forget about tomorrow (calm song that talks about carrying on and going through bad situations), Comfort in sound (A great song too, very melodic and with a great music and also amazing lyrics!) and Find the colour (a song that speaks about life in general I think, another calm and melodic work). The album tracks are great quality, too: Love pollution, as beautiful as Just the way I'm feeling in my opinion, a stunning love song which is surely one of their finest works, then the 3rd best song on the album (in my own opinion, of course) Moonshine (it lasts 6:50 and it is an epic ballad that will blow your mind away!), Child in you (a slow song, probably referred to Jon, very paceful melody) , Quick fade (it clearly speaks about Jon's death, a song that doesn't lack of emotional depth) and Summers gone, an anthemic and unforgettable song lasting about 5' and (old)live favourite, which I think it's the 4th best song on the album. The hardest songs on the album are clearly Come back around (5th best song on the album in my opinion... another fan would hang me for this, as 90% of the other fans think it's the best on the album!), a song which certainly increased the sales of the album; then Helium which is a powerful pure rock track, which is a good balance of old and new, then in the end Godzilla, which is the real standout track on the album. It is one of the hardest ever rock tracks in the world (well not a metal one, indeed), to many it sounds the worst of the album, but I don't agree. Indeed it is a bit out of place between Summers gone and Quick fade... By the way the band decided to put it on the album because it was the last song they'd written with Jon before he died, so it has kind of a real special meaning to the guys.

BTW an album worth listening, every song is great but I think Feeder can do better than this one!!!! Anyway, buy it. You won't repent it!!

Feeder is a great slip between rock punk and soft rock. There great melodys and tunes will leave you amazed by there talented songs.

there are some very lyrically strong songs on this album obviously the death of his close friend affected his songwriting to great effect only recently got into feeder & have not been dissapointed the songs on here soon get into your head buy this & you wont be sorry

Having decided that I have to attend Leeds festival this year, i thought I better fill in my CD collection with the missing titles. I loved Echo park and also own The Singles, both good albums. The reason I put off buying this album for so long was because of a lot reviewers seemed to give me the impression that this album would be lacking in the rockiness of previous releases and to be honest i prefer the heavier sound. this album however did not disappoint. Almost every song on this Album is an Anthem. This is a more mature and intelligent Feeder reflecting on Jon Lee's death. Unlike so many other albums; This is an Album I will be hitting the repeat button for.

A good follow up to the death of their drummer. Deffenately reflects his thought towards the death of his friend and is very strong in that form

excellent product a real find for my collection. I would certainly purchase from this seller again. The second hand product was in excellent condition, almost as new in fact and the price was very good.

Whatever any of us may think of "Buck Rodgers" and "Seven Days In The Sun", we must forgive all on hearing this wonderful album. These men deserve utter respect for their admirable continuation of the band despite the tragic loss of Jon Lee. They clearly did not try to stay the same, and inevitably their work did change drastically. Grants lyrics matured immensely and their talent truly shone. Child In You is undoubtedly a stand-out track (it never fails to move me) and Find the Colour is a stunning declaration of love. If, like me, though, you are attached to their fun edgy brand of rock, you will find a fix in Helium and Godzilla.
