This album contains all their best songs, the ones which are the most beloved by the fans. 17 singles and three new songs, "Lost & found", "Burn the bridges", "Save us". All released later on as singles except "Burn the bridges".
COME BACK AROUND
One of the rockiest songs they've ever written, with great melody and lyrics. Simply amazing and probably the greatest on the "comfort in sound" album.
BUCK ROGERS
They were going to give this one away to an american band who needed a single, but they decided to keep it. Typically rock, it's one of the band's greatest singles. Who's never heard this one to the radio is probably from Mars.
SHATTER
Very fast song,i t was originally a b-side, but the fans wanted it released as a single, and luckily Shatter was released as a double a-side with "Tender". One of the hardest songs they wrote, but it doesn't lack of melody! It's my personal favourite Feeder track.
JUST THE WAY I'M FEELING
Lyrically dark, is one of their most beautiful songs. It's a 4:20 ballad that was written at the end of the making of the album "Comfort in sound". Stunning, and my second favourite.
LOST & FOUND
Ultra heavy. An "urban love song" as Grant's used to describing it.
JUST A DAY
Considered by many the best they've done. Started off as a b-side! Fucking awesome! It's the main song of the Play Station game "Gran Turismo 3".
HIGH
An old song, it is full of feeling and it has one of the most beautiful choruses of all their works. Epic.
COMFORT IN SOUND
Another of my favourites. The version on this record isn't the same that appeared on the "Comfort in sound" album. This one is faster and the music is far louder. A pure melodic rock song. It has great lyrics, too.
FEELING A MOMENT
A great song; Grant Nicholas, the singer, calls this one as "Just the way I'm feeling" part 2, because the lyrics are considered a follow-up of it. My 4th favourite!
BURN THE BRIDGES
Strong song. Definitely one of their best. Not as heavy as Lost & found, but it has a similar vibe to "Come back around".
TUMBLE AND FALL
This is the one I like the least of this album. "High" part two in Grant's opinion. A very good track anyway, sounds very simple and immediate to me.
FORGET ABOUT TOMORROW
This song includes the use of a 23 piece orchestra. A great song, it talks about carrying on when something's wrong, about being strong. Very passionate.
TENDER
A love song. It has a bit of rock'n'roll style in my opinion. The music includes the use of the piano.
PUSHING THE SENSES
Very fast and rock, one of the hardest on the album. Great melody and uplifting chorus.
SAVE US
It sounds a bit of an anthem. The music is quite heavy, same style of Burn the bridges, but this one is more melodic and anthemic. Great piano intro and my 3rd favourite!
SEVEN DAYS IN THE SUN
A stunning heavy rock song, the lyrics are very ironic. It always makes me laugh when I listen to it.
INSOMNIA
It has a bit of a punk rock song, anyway with a very mature sound to it.
TURN
A dark song. Great lyrics, strong anthemic chorus!
YESTERDAY WENT TOO SOON
This song, at least in my opinion, has the best lyrics they've ever written.
According to Grant the title sounds like a James Bond film.
SUFFOCATE
Originally written in 1994, it was an acoustic track, appeared on their debut album in 1997. A good slow song, it was remixed and released as a single in 1998. This version is the reworked one, that is a full band version, not the original acoustic!
