Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Pushing the Senses, Feeder’s fifth studio album builds on the introspective maturity that made Comfort in Sound a hit with both critics and record-buyers alike. Far removed from the upbeat power-pop of breakthrough Echo Park, Senses owes a greater debt to the sound of America’s mid-west, jumbled up with some quintessentially British song-writing.

"Tumble and Fall", the first single to be lifted, is an un-ashamed power-ballad. The words may be slightly ham-fisted ("tumble and fall, together we crawl"), but the melody catches so brilliantly that the actual lyrical content doesn’t matter amidst the soulful verse and explosive chorus. This style of downbeat MOR with epic refrains continues throughout most of the album with only "Pilgrim Soul" forcing out any energy, the rest demonstrating the same quiet restraint that Grant has adopted for his vocals. Whilst the noise has been toned down from their days as festival stalwarts, the sound is still grand, almost stadium sized, but in a more considered and less sweaty way. The influences behind many of the songs seem to drift in then disappear again with echoes of REM ("Pushing the Senses"), Mercury Rev ("Frequency") and Belle & Sebastian ("Dove Grey Sands") making an impression without leaving a mark.

From the ten songs here it’s difficult to pick stand outs as the quality is un-wavering and the overall sound is very easy to listen to. If their last album was the sound of a band coming of age, Pushing the Senses is the sound of Feeder in the prime of life. --Georgina Collins

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, solid album, 22 Feb 2005
By A Customer
It was always going to be difficult for Feeder to repeat the brilliance of Comfort In Sound, and while Pushing The Senses doesn't quite match their pevious album, there is plenty here to appeal to music fans.

Feeling A Moment is a fantastic, uplifting opening track, followed by Bitter Glass, which is another good song. Pushing The Senses, quite an unbeat tune, and Morning Life, more considered, are very good too, while Pilgrim Soul hints at Feeder's earlier sound. New and old fans alike will be interested to hear Frequency and Dove Grey Sands, which are a break from the usual Feeder sound, but grow on you.

After the praise heaped upon them after their last album, this new one was always going to receive mixed reviews, we live in Britain after all. Whereas Comfort In Sound was more of a complete package, this album is a bit of a mixed bag of tricks, but is still worth owning.

5.0 out of 5 stars an amazing album, 25 May 2005
I got into Feeder through an ex boyfriend who was mad about them. At first I didnt see what all the fuss was about but after seeing them live all that changed. They were amazing. At the time, Comfort in Sound had just been released and I loved the album, at the same time liking the older, more rocky stuff. I had been looking forward to Pushing the Senses for ages, and I wasnt disappointed- its a great album full of emotion and thought. However after reading some of the reviews and hearing people moaning I had to write this review, its annoying hearing so called 'old' Feeder fans whinging on about how Feeder have changed and dont do harder stuff anymore. Cant a band take a different musical direction and experiment without being stuck in 1996? I would say look past all that and what you are left with is a beautiful album, with ups and downs, quieter reflective songs but also up tempo rock which retains its intelligence without being no-brainer guitar thrashing idiocy. High points of Pushing the Senses- 'Feeling a moment', 'Pushing the Senses', 'Morning life' and 'Pilgrim Soul', although every track has something to offer. This is one of my favourite albums of the year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, 11 April 2006
By J "chasingshadows" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I'm in love with this album and I'm not even a 'Feeder' fan. At least I wasn't before I borrowed this album from a friend. Funnily enough it was actually 'Shattered' (the incredible song from the soundtrack of the film 'Night Watch', which is strangely absent here) that made me want to listen to it in the first place. Lucky for me though I've been able to import the album onto my ipod and simply add 'Shattered' onto the end, which I purchased separately. 'Night Watch' wasn't a complete success by any stretch of the imagination (my friend fell asleep half way through incidentally) but the moment that song came over the credits I just knew it would be one of my favourite films of the year- never has a song so perfectly complemented a film in my opinion- the raw, frantic energy of that combination of sound and vision was literally palpalable in the air around me!

'Feeling a Moment', 'Tumble and Fall' and the title track 'Pushing the Senses' are likely to be the songs that most people will recognise when they come to listen to the record for the first time, all of which are great by the way, but my personal favourite songs effortlessly out-shone those in my view. 'Bitter Glass', 'Tender', 'Pain on Pain' and 'Dove Grey Sands' may be softer and slower than the single releases of the album, but whenever I hear them I'm transported to another place, especially on a sunny day when I find them completely hypnotic. But the good news doesn't end there- this album fuses together so well that the lack of any massive, stand-out tracks won't be too big a disappointment (at least it wasn't for me), so despite the absence of a 'Buck Rogers' type-song this record more than compensates with beautiful melodies, the pure and yet slightly gravely voice of the lead singer and a wonderful selection of feel-good tunes.
