Description:
Feeder's second full length album--the self produced and occasionally self indulgent Yesterday Went Too Soon--is an altogether much more sobering affair than 2001's Echo Park--the curious pop mixture of cider and lemons that saw the band finally gatecrash the charts. Progressing from the heavy riffs and suffocating places of debut Polythene, Grant Nicholas' true songwriting begins to shine through with a quirkiness not previously encountered. "Anaesthetic" and "Picture of Perfect Youth" are modern rock songs and he's never afraid to don his post-Nirvana top hat (the irascible "Waiting For Changes").

Progressing from the heavy riffs and suffocating places of debut Polythene, Grant Nicholas' true songwriting begins to shine through with a quirkiness not previously encountered. "Anaesthetic" and "Picture of Perfect Youth" are modern rock songs and he's never afraid to don his post-Nirvana top hat (the irascible "Waiting For Changes"). But the album's heart, when revealed, sounds broken and isolated. The fragile "Tinsel Town" and the mature "So Well" demonstrate this mindset admirably. Unfortunately, Nicholas' own judgement occasionally gets the better of him and the album sags in the middle with the quite unremarkable "Day In Day Out" and the ill-advised socio-political musings of "Radioman". However his is a talent to be treasured, never in the gutter looking up at the stars, but flying high above the clouds waiting to crash down. --Ben Johncock
