5.0 out of 5 stars
The complete album, August 8, 2002
This review is from: Yesterday Went Too Soon (Audio CD)
'Yesterday went too soon' earns the rare title of 'complete album', a title which in my opinion only Radioheads 'The Bends' can also hold. The album has the perfect ratio of explosive rock songs to epic ballads. The title track YWTS is one of the most scintillating, haunting ballads ever written and reaches the heights of Polythene favourite 'High' and Radioheads ' fake plastic trees'. Yet these ballads are balanced with furious, guitar music with choruses so complusive that you can help but sing along, insomnia in particular is guilty of this.
What aids this albums collection of songs is the note-perfect voice of Grant Nicholas who shines through on every track and makes the difference between an average and an exceptional album.
Stand out tracks(nb they are all excellent)
Yesterday went too soon - an emotional epic of a song.
Insomnia - infectious punk that will keep you awake listening to it
So well - understated track but its melody is too good to be ignored.
I would strongly recommend this albu to anyone who likes band such as my vitriol,early radiohead and Ash. Basically this album is very much mature pop-punk with an added essence of indie. As you can see its hard to define.

simply superb, June 3, 2000
This is easily one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. Everyone who hears it has told me its excellent. From the songwriting to the production, this CD is sublime in all aspects. Insomnia, Day in Day out and Waiting for changes blast out giving a perfect contrast for moodier songs like Picture of Perfect youth and Paperfaces. Grant Nicholas is undoubtedly one of the most underrated and unheard talents this country has and deserves applaud for this album and Polythene which is also a 5 star album.

Breathtaking ,amazing , It's the new Feeder Album!, November 26, 1999
This new album by Feeder is breathtaking. With brillant traks such as Paperfaces, Insomnia, Day in Day out , Radioman. Every track is a hit. Feeder have come along way since there first album Polythene. These guys are great musicians. This new feeder album is a must get for Christmass. This album beats all albums so far this year. It even beats Macey Gray. It is a shame feeder are not signed to a bigger label. Feeder are signed to Echo which are a small label compared to the likes of Island etc. Feeder deserve so much more recognition than the likes of Oasis.
