The single most memorable thing about their career is that they once rhymed "Devon" with "Lemon" in nonsensical disregard for lyrical cogency, but their 2006 singles collection contained 20 tracks (yes, TWENTY!), most of them instantly recognisable and entirely affable. None of us will live long enough to find out, but Feeder may well end up rivalling the cockroach in terms of covert resilience. And, as album number 6, Silent Cry, true to form, neither furthers nor hampers their progress. That is to say, it's exactly as good as they’ve always been--whatever you consider that to be. You know the drill by now--comfortable runs of clean guitar, Grant Nicholas’ earnest blue-eyed vocals, add distortion, rinse, repeat, fade. That they manage to squeeze fresh juice from such a well-wrung fruit is credit to a genuine songwriting flair. And though there are equally no real surprises, there are standouts that nudge their alignment just off-centre. Take "Tracing Lines" with its tight beats and itchy minimalism reminding of The Strokes (though also highlighting Nicholas’ comparative lack of charisma), "Miss You" which thunders along burning adrenaline like Foo Fighters at their most agile and closing track "Sonorous" with hurtling crescendos a la Muse. --James Berry Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A grower!Initially, I found this album to be disappointingly bland. Each song seemed to sound alike, with no stand-out tracks. This turned out to be a good omen; all my favourite albums are not immediately likeable. I could really appreciate the quality of 'Silent Cry' after four listens. It is quite an epic sound, with universal lyrics. 'Sonorous' gives a nod to the old grunge days; 'Into The Blue' has an indie disco influence; 'Tracing Lines' is upbeat pop. The guitars and rhythms are heavy, which signals a new burst of confidence, if not a return to the pre-CIS sound. However, a bit of piano or keyboard would have been welcome at points! The two extra tracks on the deluxe edition are probably not worth it, though, unless you are a completist. Rating:  - Silent cry for help?I once read a review in the Sunday Times which described The Automatic's debut album `Not Accepted Anywhere' as being the opposite of a 'grower'. Namely, one that sounds great on the first few listens but gradually fades from the memory once you realise there's nothing there to keep you going back. Having not listened to that particular album I was never entirely sure what it meant. But now I think I get it, because that's exactly how I feel about Feeder's latest effort. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Feeder fan, but for that very reason I can see that both musically and lyrically this rarely comes close to matching any of the best moments in Comfort in Sound and Echo Park. The album starts off very promisingly with the first three ... Read More: Rating: - Stunning!I must have listened to this album at least 50 times now. Every track is amazing! I can listen to this from start to finish and all over again. If I was to name the best tracks, I would be naming a few: "We Are the People", "Miss You", "Tracing Lines", "Fires", "Heads Held High", "Into the Blue", "Guided By a Voice" including the 2 bonus tracks, "Yeah Yeah" and "Every Minute". I basically mentioned the whole album, and any other Feeder fan will mention the ones I didn't as their favourite. This album has it all. I definitely recommend getting it! If you enjoyed the album, "Pushing the Senses", then don't delay for one second because you WILL love this album. Rating: - Silent CryAny album that is next in line for release after a "Greatest Hits" style CD is going to be a tough one to fathom; both for the band, and the fans. It can often put the band under a lot of pressure and strain to deliver, especially when you have a record as clean and exceptionally impressive as that of Grant Nicholas' Feeder. Many people thought 'The Singles' was the band's way of telling everyone that they were finally calling it a day, and yet 2 years on, here we are with Feeder's new album Silent Cry; and what an album it is. Straight from the opening chord of first single 'We Are the People', it would seem that Feeder have come out with a real purpose. No longer do they seem to be reluctant to plug in their guitars and return to ... Read More: Rating:  - Not as good as Echo Park and Comfort In Sound...but a big improvement over Pushing The Senses (im not saying PTS is a bad album though). its a bit harder to like on the first few listens as the songs tend to build up. the best songs are: Itsumo, Miss You and Silent Cry. |
