Echo Park - Feeder Reviews

"Echo Park" was one of the first albums I ever bought - more than 7 years ago now. I have listened to, and enjoyed it, consistently since then. The song "Buck Rogers" really seemed to be the break-through for this band. They'd been around for many years beforehand, but had often gone unnoticed. Buck Rogers was ...  Read the complete review

Released in 2001, 'Echo Park' is the third studio album from Feeder; a twelve track construction of music featuring such infectiously catchy single releases as 'Buck Rogers' and 'Seven Days in the Sun' also. The album has a run time of just over 45 minutes in length and a strong 45 minutes of music it is too. The 'Echo Park' album consists of ...  Read the complete review

It was to prove to be the last album with the original line up but for Grant Nicholas and Feeder it would prove to be the one that finally broke them into the main stream. It was just before they recorded the follow up to this album that drummer Jon Lee committed suicide, leaving the legacy of Feeder’s best album behind. That was afterwards though ...  Read the complete review

Feeder may well have come to some attention over the death of their drummer Jon Lee by suicide. Sadly this came at a time the Welsh/Japanese band were starting to et some real success. ?Echo Park? is the album that really helped break the band into mainstream British rock and chart success. It is Feeder?s third full length LP, it does show a ...  Read the complete review

"Echo Park" starts with a hint of a psychedelic sound: "Standing on the edge", the first track, manages to mix druggy, paranoid lyrics with futuristic, spacey sound affects ("love's the antidote we need"). There's also some head-banging guitars which burst in from time to time to remind us that Feeder can ...  Read the complete review

If i was to some this CD up into one word it would be Phenomenal, i think its the greatest one Feeder have done yet, probably their last, due to John Lee's death not so long ago. Even though i usually go for dance music this brings a pleasant change to the usual flat beats of dance music. i thoroughly recommend this CD to everyone, not just ...  Read the complete review

Echo Park being the name of feeders latest offering, and I have to say there are is a real mix of music in this album, but we do get the usual fast paced guitars and drums as usual which makes this album superb to listen to it is one of those where if you feel like it you can jump around trashing your room to it or lay back and chill out to. ...  Read the complete review

Feeder have always struggled to make any impression on my mind - primarily because they don't know exactly who they are. And this sentiment still shines through on Echo Park. The whole 15 track album contains 5 songs which rise above tedium and point to a brighter future - but all too often Feeder slip into the post Seattle ...  Read the complete review

To match the excellence of Swim was always going to be difficult. But then Polythene was no ordinary record, it was voted album of the year by Metal Hammer in 1997. Oh and then they released Yesterday went too Soon which is thought by many, including me, to be even better. With a track record like that how could they possibly keep up ...  Read the complete review

What first drew me to this album was the two singles - buck rogers and seven days in the sun. These two shouty chorus anthemic songs just sounds so good under the summer sun. if you haven't heard either of them, buck rogers was the return of the band with a huge song that has made it onto almost all indie compliation albums. the chorus is so ...  Read the complete review

Feeder, the nearly men of the Music industry. They have been going now for many years, releasing 3 albums and a mini album. Swim was their first mini album, then they released Polythene. A couple of songs from those albums were actually used on the Playstation game Gran Turismo 1. This is when Feeder first entered my ...  Read the complete review

I would deffinatly not class my self as a big fan of Feeder, not because I do not like the style of music, but becasue they have never come into the limelight with a single that caught my attention. All this changed when I listend to the single 'Buck Rogers' from their album 'Echo Park'. The band have been around for a while now, ...  Read the complete review

At the start you are greeted with a cool modern rock song that is very distinguishable from the rest of the album. Then comes the over played but still amazing Buck Rodgers. Then the settling Piece by Piece son of high, very reminiscent, but not quite as good. In at 4 is the summer hit Seven Days In The Sun, absolutely amazing summer rock tune. ...  Read the complete review

A cracking, compact album. It's not anything new... but it sure is fun! - Advantages: Gems of tunes, Noise, Tongue-in-cheek - Disadvantages: Not a great deal of variation

I recently obtained Echo Park and I must say I’m impressed! It’s not often that I find an album on which I like every single track, this one of those rare breeds. I’m not 100% percent sure how to class Feeder, in some ways they are like a traditional British Indy Band. On another plane they are almost a nu-metal band! I must ...  Read the complete review

It’s nice watching someone grow up in public. Grant Nicholas, despite now pushing 30 has spent the last few years doing that musically. Beginning with 1997s ‘Swim’ EP, Feeder have been gradually blossoming from a band with potential to great one in their own right. Whilst ‘Polythene’ at times seemed to have aped ...  Read the complete review

You have to feel sorry for Feeder. They’re a band that have always been on the edge of doing something big, yet they never seem to make the breakthrough into the bigger league. They produce great singles, but their albums tend to suffer from a lack of inspiration. Their latest release, Echo Park suffers from the same failures. ...  Read the complete review

Until now, Feeder have been the band who roll out generally good rock music, but just havn't had that spark that brings all new bands into the mainstream. But 'Echo Park' has. And it shows it. The first single to find it's way into the charts (Buck Rogers) caught unsuspecting audiences and transformed them into instant Feeder ...  Read the complete review
