WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:

“The Feeling really should be known as one of the best live bands in Britain right now. Emerging on to a neon-lit stage, the five-piece steamed straight in with fantastically catchy, disco-influenced last single and The Feeling immediately staked their claim. (They) took to the stage like a band born to perform with their particular brand of dynamically played, infectious pop-rock…After a relentless pummelling with track after track of 24-carat pop gold…(the crowd became) a mass of arm-waving, singalong nutters.” Sunday Mirror 23 March ‘08

“The camp factor is incalculable, but so is the pleasure…the tunes sell themselves. Early hits ‘Fill My Little World’ and ‘Never Be Lonely’ sound like time-worn classics here, but so does the most recent ‘I Thought It Was Over’, which shares their uncontained chirpiness…At this moment the Feeling are as good as MOR pop gets.” The Guardian 21 March ‘08

“Sells was watchably hyperactive, high-kicking the cymbals and working the crowd…New songs such as ‘I Thought It Was Over’ and ‘Turn It Up’ maintained the high catchiness quota…this joyful band offered pleasures not worth feeling guilty about.” Evening Standard 20 March ’08

“Stand by your radio sets: a tsunami of tunes is about to break over the airwaves. Here is a pop masterpiece so toe-tapping and huggable that we might have to re-arrange the cannon. For melodic, harmonic and lyrical quality, the second album by (The Feeling) matches if not exceeds their obvious inspirations in the creamy ‘70s Britpop layer-cake of Macca, Supertramp, ELO and 10cc. Not even ‘Band On The Run’ is as good. A dozen songs span the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and occasionally reflective with but a single approach: genial delight in a prodigious musical talent revelling in the fullness of its expression.”
MOJO March ‘08

“Any band would murder for this number of viciously bouncy hooks, from grandstanding pomp (the title track) to winsome ballad (Without You).
The Times Feb 16th ‘08

“The overall effect… sounds like what might happen if Paddy McAloon and Gary Barlow co-write the next Take That album; a strange lovely, trade-off between knowing compositional virtuosity and gauche showbiz populism.”
Observer Music Monthly Feb ‘08
