'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.

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.

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.

Although older now, this album is of the same high standard feeder fans have come to expect. Any feeder fans must have, and definitely worth a look at this unique style. buy it now!!!

I was never a huge Feeder fan until 'Buck Rogers' was released in January 2001, however, even after buying the single my interest soon wore off. But, after seeing them live supporting Stereophonics (my favourite band) in November 2001, I realised just how amazing they are! I imediately went out and bought as much of their back-catalogue as possible and haven't regretted it!

'Yesterday Went Too Soon' is one of the greatest indie rock albums of all time and has easily held that title since it's release back in August 1999. It's one of those true greats where you just don't want to skip any tracks, an accolade which I think only Oasis' 'Morning Glory' or Stereophonics' 'Performance and Cocktails' can equal. It's certainly a far cry from their good but very average punk rock debut 'Polythene'. The band seem to have changed direction and found their amazing ability to write outstanding indie tunes. Personally, I think the band released some weak tracks as singles but this album's overall standard is so high it hardly matters. My favourites are 'Insomnia', 'Radioman', 'Tinsel Town', 'Dry', 'So Well', 'Paperfaces' and the title track 'Yesterday Went Too Soon' which are all instant classics and well worthy of use of the repeat function on any CD player. The other tracks are not quite as perfect but when you listen to the album in full, they all have their own place. All in all, this is definitely worth having in anyone's collection.

YWTS is a mighty effort by Feeder who are and always will be my favorite band. This is an album that at the same time rocks with classic tracks such as 'Insomnia' and 'Waiting for Changes' and then draws attention to the contemplative thought with slow touching songs such as 'Yesterday Went Too Soon' and 'Tinsletown'. Feeder's music surrounds many styles and cannot be classed in just one genre. If you like Guitar music and have a heart for emotional acoustic numbers then Feeder are just your ticket. This album is quality and will not disappoint

When this masterpeice charted at No8 late last year in the UK, almost every Feeder fan knew that the bands fortunes were going to change, and this was just the start. Ever since 1995 Feeder have constantly provided the rock world with their addictive and heavy anthems, but never got the credit they deserved.

But ever since this made the top 10 Feeder went from strength-to-strength (despite a slight hiccup when the Paperfaces single could only make No41), and rightly so. The minuite you play the first track "Anasetic", you start to asorb yourself in the wonderful guitar sounds, and that goes for the rest of the album. Also Feeder have never forgotten their trademark grunge fests on this too, with gems like "Insomnia" and the tearjerker "Dry", you have an album that cleverly mixes in their finest mellow moments with their greatest mosh-pit jumping up and down periods!!

Feeder are an antidote to the flood of dire 'nu-metals' bands around at the moment.Unlike Limp Bizcuit or Papa Roach they do not belive that shouting makes a good song. Their songs are clever and very catchy. Songs such as 'waiting for changes' and 'hole in my head' are inspired. Their slow ballads are quite superb and'tinseltown' is brilliant. They beat bands such as green day and blink 182 for not constatly focusing on teen angst. if there is any justice in this world then feeder should become massive.

IT Started out with a melodical little number and it just got bette

I'm very rarely moved to review things but I'll make an exception. You'll come back to this again and again, Feeder just get better. MORE!
