Feeder - Yesterday Went Too Soon

 WOO!
Feeder have a habit of ending the album with a softer touch...

I LOVE IT!

"Insomnia" heavy rockin' and upbeat - my favourite track on here. "Paperfaces" is the favourite out of all the softer tracks. The "Bonus Track" is actually "Paperfaces" but about 9 or so minutes in! It goes silent after the song finishes, then a secret song is heard. That secret song is unheard anywhere else! July 10, 2006

 i heart you feeder
I have adored feeder for many years. When people ask me to recommed one of their albums I always choose this one; "Yesterday Went Too Soon." Even though it is not my favourite feeder album, my favourite would be the one before this, "Polythene," because they are so raw on that record, however YWTS shows more what feeder are all about; great guitars and amazing lyrics from the mind of a god making a catchy rocking song, which can make you jump around(insomnia, waiting for changes) or/and make you stop to think(tinsel town, yesterday went too soon)...
It is the first feeder album i heard, which made me love them up to today with Comfort in Sound and it made my buy the previous two albums, which i love more than anything.
Heres how i would rate the tracks;
1. Anaesthetic (9/10)
2. Insomnia (9/10)
3. Picture Of Perfect Youth (8/10)
4. Yesterday Went Too Soon (9/10)
5. Waiting For Changes (7/10)
6. Radioman (6/10)
7. Day In Day Out (5/10)
8. Tinsel Town (10/10)
9. You're My Evergreen (7/10)
10. Dry (8/10)
11. So Well (8/10)
12. Paperfaces (9/10)
If you like good music, you SHOULD love feeder. They have a wide audience, because they do so much different stuff, they can be like metal, then pop, and totally indie, but they always rock! October 18, 2003

 The complete album...
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.

 The complete album
'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. August 9, 2002

 This is an album that lies along the classics
Yesterday Went Too Soon is a fantastic album. It is Feeder's most satisfying album. It has some great tunes which are portrayed through tracks such as 'Yesterday Went Too Soon', 'Day in Day Out' and 'You're my evergreen'. It also has some very mellow tracks - but are still satisfying like 'Tinsel Town' and 'Radioman'. This album is different from Echo Park, it is so much more varied. If you were going to get a Feeder album, this would be the one to get first. An unbelievable album. April 21, 2002
