The Feeling - Twelve Stops And Home


Well, it`s finally out in the U.S. But instead of whining, let`s focus on the many positives as The Feeling are pretty much for almost every single Not Lamer out there. Why? It evokes, in a singular fashion, three decades of music in the realm of pop: 70`s, 80`s, 90`s and well, let`s add an 4th and bring it to the present day! You`ll hear all sorts of things dash and dip in and out consciousness, none ever sticking around for too long, which is exactly what makes it such a great listen. 10cc, Queen, Silver Sun, Jellyfish, Supertramp, ELO, Venice and The General Store. Amazing vocal abilities on display throughout! This review captures the essence of the record:

"The Feeling are five twentysomethings from Sussex and London who love that pop sound - no nonsense hooked filled music with massive choruses. But these are more than just songs to get the milkman whistling - the songs have that degree of wit and intelligence that makes it more than simply a guilty pleasure. The sound harks back to that moment in music where Andrew Gold, ELO and 10cc owned the charts - soaring, liberating music with heart and soul. The engine room of The Feeling is music writer and lyricist Dan Gillespie Sells. He admits that he doesn`t do concise, that prog rock epics with ludicrous outros are much more his cup of tea. At the same time though, there are no lavish orchestrations here. The album is full of light touches - an epic quality, but not smothered in strings and sounds.. The two singles so far are both brilliant, but at the same time very different. Sewn is a slow building masterwork of gentle choruses and light verses, leading into an epic finish before dwindling away into piano and harmonies. On the other hand, Fill My Little World is a musical masterclass, full of melody with a killer chorus.

Opening track I Want You Know is actually one of the weaker songs on the album, leading into Never Be Lonely, a song full of contrasts, one minute Tiny Dancer by Elton John, the next minute a stuttering Supertramp. The two finest moments on the album though are Strange, a beautiful piece played mostly on piano with a light guitar rhythm, and Same Old Stuff, a colossus of melody - shifting from place to place, it is a song rammed with wonderful ideas, scorching guitars and playful piano. Those who are, dare I say it, a little snotty about music may not find anything here they like. There is however a quality present to lift the band way above the pop sounds of McFly and Busted. They are treading the path that Silver Sun tried to take us down, or the songs of Jellyfish, or even the finer moments of Teenage Fanclub. This is music at its most pleasurable - its not very artsy, it won`t teach you anything about life or leave that much of a lasting impression, but boy, will you have fun listening to it."-Cdtimes

The Feeling - Twelve Stops And Home
Reviewer: Whit  www.whitsbrain.com
This one should be quite the big deal! It just doesn't seem possible that music this attractive can avoid a collision with the mainstream, no matter how dense the mainstream may be. The Feeling is a smooth pop band out of UK that writes smart, hook-filled rock in the spirit of '70s AM radio. Listening to this, you can hear Supertramp, Jellyfish, ELO and a host of other influences. We are going to predict that "Love It When You Call" will hit with major-market radio. If it doesn't then as we've been told before, we are hopelessly out of touch...thankfully.

Unbelievable - a new favourite.
Reviewer: Ben  Herden
And to think I almost missed this album altogether. A brilliant album that any lover of clever well crafted pop songs will love. Has resparked my love for Jellyfish too - very much of the same mould. if you close your eyes you can trick yourself into thinking (at times) that Jellyfish had a hand in this. It's all good. The songs I thought were weaker actually get better and better with each listen (Rose, Helicopter - I can't believe I thought they were weaker in hindsight). The Feeling are obviously fans of music, and you can hear their enjoyment in each song. The fact it was recorded basically in a home studio is just mind blowing.
