I downloaded Feeder's new album today, due out tomorrow. I will buy it, purely because it's Feeder. That said, it's nothing new or adventurous. In fact, I'm not really sure Feeder will ever do new or adventurous. It's no big departure from Comfort in Sound or Pushing the Senses, and even though it's not really like their earlier stuff, that's more a consequence of developing as a band rather than differently structured songs that sound.... different. I would never say I hated it, they're Feeder, this is what they do, fairly predictable pop rock songs, they were the first band I liked, and that's not going to change because their music never does.
I might feel differently on a second listen, I don't know. I guess not every band can have a Narrow Stairs. It does bother me though that any of the songs on this album would probably fit into any of their previous albums with little difficulty. I think I can finally reconcile myself to sacrifice Feeder as my top artist on lastfm, if it happens.
I'll update with proper stuff when I get back from London tomorrow night.
