Well, not really. But I've done something, at least.
Got this sing on loop. It really is a Feeder anthem.
Feeder's new single / EP was released today. Here's my review of it taken from the "Feeder - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" thread:
Got both singles today and I have to say that they are probably one of the best set of CD’s (when all tracks and videos are included) that Feeder have released EVER. The tracks, without a doubt, will clear ANYONE'S mind of whether or not they have "sold out." Let’s got through the tracks and vids:
CD1:
Track 1: Just A Day (Edit)
Great track, good edit. You must have heard this by now, electric guitars thrashing around a fantastic uplifting melody with lyrics poured out through great vocals. Top track.
Track 2: Can't Stand Losing You
What a track. Anyone disagreeing with Feeder covering the Police hit will be silenced by this track. They've taken an old and, in my opinion, somewhat slow, boring song and have somehow managed to change it into a fast, heavy, classic song. They truly have made it their own. The old style guitar sound is still in place for the verses, and then the chorus kicks in with brilliant sounding heavy guitars and unbeatable vocals. Probably my fave track on the two singles.
Video: Piece By Piece
Now, a lot of people are confused how they made a video for the track but never released it, well, actually they did, but only in Europe. We got Turn, they got Piece By Piece, and even though I personally prefer Turn, after seeing this video, I instantly changed my mind and wish we'd had Piece By Piece released over here.
For those of you that haven't heard the track, it's a great, slow, melodic song with mostly fingerplay through out. The drumming is absolutely incredible, pure class.
Now onto the video. Those of you have seen the band's video for Paperfaces may notice that this video slightly resembles it, only this video is infinitely better. I always thought that Insomnia was Feeder's best video, but now I'm VERY tempted to change my mind.
This video is amazing. It's set in a train station and everyone is either walking backwards, walking backwards in slow motion, or repeating what they just did but in reverse. Meanwhile, while all this is going on, Grant Nicholas appears from the crowd and walks normally (i.e. not backwards) and boy does he look the part. I've never seen someone walk with so much style, so much attitude, and... well... so damn cool. (And no, I'm not gay).
Not a single lyric is song throughout this video, which, I suppose, adds to it's effect. Grant meets up with Jon, they get on a train, some cool handshakes are made between Grant and Taka (I didn't think it was possible to do a "cool handshake" either but watch the video and you'll see what I mean!) and although it may sound pointless and boring, it really isn't. It's a masterpiece.
The end of the video tops it off. Grant's sitting on a bench and as someone walks by, another Grant appears sitting next to him (!). This Grant then hands the original Grant a note and disappears. Grant then looks at the note and begins to run for the train. Again, I'll take this opportunity that the video ISN'T boring and pointless and that it's actually a work of art. Trust me, it's great. Best Feeder video along with Insomnia.
CD2
Track 1: Just A Day
See CD 1 Track 1.
Track 2: Emily
Now, I heard a preview of this song on the internet and though it sounded great. Today, I heard the full song, and thought it sounded better. This is truly old style Feeder, and simply puts claims of Feeder "selling out" into coffins. Emily is a classic track that would stand out but it doesn't simply because every single track on both CDs is fantastic. Emily is slow double guitar throughout the verses and gradually building up to the heavy thunderous chorus that blows you away. A great track and shows Feeder's talent well.
Track 3: Slowburn
Three words. What a track. Another song that instantly murders "sellout" claims. This track is stupendous, and is one of Feeder's greatest. Right up there with High and Sweet 16. This song REALLY shouldn't be just a b-side, but as Grant said "We don't make singles and B-Sides, we just make music."
The chorus will be stuck in your head for weeks. Heavy guitars throughout ensure that the song has your full attention. I'd love to see the look on any suspecting pop fan that bought this single's face! A legendary song. Words can't describe how great it is. Buy this CD. No, buy it. I mean it. You WONT regret it, and if you do, you're lying. Now get off your ar5e and do it.
Video: Just A Day
You've all seen it, go laugh.
Now, I still REALLY want Feeder to get to number 1 with this release, I really do, but if they don't, and tonnes of Robbie fans come up to me and laugh in my face, I'll simply shove CD 2 in and scream the lyrics to Slow Burn in their face and show them who really has talent. Feeder rule and anyone disagreeing needs to get a life, or if that's a little too hard for them, get a Just A Day CD.
> Greenday - Time of Your Life ;-)
Heh, I'm listning to that now :-D
