Advantages: Everything

Disadvantages: Godzilla ruins it all a bit!

You can always trust Feeder to release a great album. With predecessors such as Echo Park and Polythene, Comfort in Sound really shows what the band are capable of. Every song (apart from Godzilla - we'll talk about that later) is a masterpiece and deseves to be listened to properly- go out and get the best hi-fi money can buy, set it up in a quiet place (eg. the desert), crank up the bass and endulge in pure aural bliss.

By far one of the best songs on the album is "Comfort in Sound"; heavy on the bass, yet with excellent guitar riffs it is a treat for the ears and I guarantee that after hearing it once, you will be humming it for the rest of the week.

Other tracks such as "Just The Way I'm Feeling" and "Come Back Around" show modern music at its best, with excellent lyrics by vocalist Grant Nicholas that will literally blow you away.

Most of the tracks are very slow and calming- sorrowful songs such as "Forget About Tomorrow" reflect the band's sadness at thier tragic loss of drummer, Jon Lee.

The album's only low point is the track "Godzilla" a heavily distorted, guitar overload which really goes against everything the album stands for.

However, all in all this is an album that really shows Feeder at thier best, and as I'm sure you'll soon agree, complete musical perfection. The album can be bought for £6.97 (well worth it for what you get) from Amazon.co.uk or downloaded from sites such as mycokemusic.com or the iTunes Music Store for around 70p per track.
