4.0 out of 5 stars Check out the Japanese edition, July 3, 2003

By	Takumi (Niigata, Japan) - See all my reviews

Echo Park is FEEDER's Third album.
There are a lot of cool guitar tracks on this album.
For example:

Standing on the Edge
Buck Rogers
Seven Days in the Sun
Choke
Tell All Your Friends
Under the Weather
Bug
This music includes very cool guitar sounds, which are very rhythmical.
I had a friendly feeling toward this music because I like rhythmical music.
If you like rhythmical music, maybe you can enjoy this music.

However, this album includes not only rhythmical rock music, but also
some beautiful ballads.
For example:
Piece by Piece
We Can't Rewind
Turn
Oxygen
These tracks are beautiful ballads.

I think that the balance of the music is good.
Not only rock�c Not only ballad�c

Especially, this album includes Buck Rogers. It is a popular song in England.
Check it out.

By the way, buying Gran Turismo3 (TV game) gave me a chance to know this group.

I bought the Japanese edition of �gEcho Park�h, This edition includes 4 extra tracks (�gJust a day�h, �gpurple�h, �gheads�h, �g21st century meltdown�h but it does NOT include �gSatellite Newsh)...

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 words, November 6, 2002

SATELLITE NEWS.

to tell you the truth, this really isn't a very good album. compared to the WONDERFUL "yesterday went too soon", this album seems horrible. however, this is one of the most important albums that i own, for one reason: satellite news. i was tempted to rate the album a 5 just because of this song, but i decided not to, because the album as a whole really doesn't deserve such a rating.

this song hits me so hard, though. it's one of my favorite songs of all time (and i've heard numerous numerous numerous songs). it just takes me. all of my favorite songs take me. and usually because they're so sad. songs that hit me emotionally. my two favorite songs ever are the only two songs that have ever made me cry. but this song is different than any of my other favorite songs. this song takes me in a good way. a positive way.

it starts off with that beautiful music. so lovely. and so mellow, and depressing.

and then..

you will never keep me down!

you can never keep me down!

i want to lift my self up to the sky!

serenade the stars as I pass by

wanna leave it all just for a while

i'll be satellite news

i wanna lift myself above the clouds

cut the ropes around me!

you'll see me shine!

shine like the sun!!

!

wow!

when it changes into "you will never keep me down!", it just hits me so hard, and then it goes even further into a musical orgasm of emotions, while the ropes around me have been cut, and i'm soaring into the sky.. flying.. free.. and shining!

i'd love to tell the singer how much this song means to me. i wonder if he even knows how great this song is.

ok, now that i've discussed that song, onto the other songs.

imo, oxygen is the only other song on the album that's really good. all of the other songs are good, though, with a few which are rather weak, like "choke" and "under the weather", and some lame lyrics every now and then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocks Like Few Things Do, July 23, 2006

By	R. Hynes (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First of all, I'm not a super major Feeder fan. I've only heard "Polythene" and "Yesterday Went Too Soon" and liked Yesterday better. That being said, "Echo Park" is the best of those three.

This album is solid from beginning to end. I had a hard time picking a favorite tune. In fact, it was one of the best albums I've heard since Embrace's "Out of Nothing." It's one of those just-push-play kind of albums. The content and form of each song is fitting: the rockers kick, and the ballads were true to themselves, not wimpy or contrived.

Check out: Satellite News, Piece by Piece, Turn, Seven Days..., and Under the Weather for a good sampling. Buy this and let your friends borrow it.
