Editorial Reviews

Three cheers for anyone who skips down roads not taken, but records as eclectic as this one are what keep David Byrne from approaching the level of success he had with the Talking Heads. Most intriguing here are the tracks co-produced with U.K. trip-hoppers Morcheeba, among them "Daddy Go Down," which mixes Asia Minor with Ashley MacIsaac's backwoods fiddle stomp. Meanwhile, Mark Mothersbaugh brings a hint of Devo lunacy to "Wicked Little Doll," while the Luaka Bop Latin touch shows up on "Miss America." --Jeff Bateman

4.0 out of 5 stars "Feelings" is worth your attention, September 11, 2005

By	J. Holmes "blood+whiskey" (yokohama, japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this takes a few listens to get accustomed to. but once you get settled, it's a nice ride. tropicalia, electronica, folktronica(?) alot of unique influence and it could have been a giant mess. but david pulls it together to form a cohesive album whose results are touching, and sometimes humorous. my favorite song would no doubt be "A Soft Seduction." great lyrics to that one. the cover and design concept is also quite great. my only complaint is that it could have been alot more streamlined and better if it were about 3-4 songs less. but all the songs are nice and it would have been hard to choose the ones to leave off. good go, then!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK., May 14, 1998

By A Customer

This CD doesn't work that well for me. Many of the song seem to drone a bit. I think I like vocals that are a little more musical. That said, I still have played this CD multiple times. I guess maybe I like it a little better than I'm admitting. :>)

4.0 out of 5 stars Byrne is back, November 27, 2000

By	David K. C. Spencer (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd trailed off in following David Byrne - the albums just didn't have the spark they used to - until I was given 'Feelings' as a gift. It's a wonderfully eccentric album with a number of remarkable songs. There are elements woven in from a wide span of prior musical interests: songs reminicent of old 'Heads albums, Latin influences, strains of Eno, and more. I've been playing it frequently, and recommend it for those who have enjoyed him in the past.
