The record starts promisingly enough, with the first single, <i>\u2018Universe of Life\u2019<\/i>, coming quickly out the gate, elevated by a devilish guitar riff. It is a strong opener, full of ideas, and boasts an anthemic chorus that will surely go down well in the live environment.<\/p>\n<p>However, the main issue with <i>\u2018All Bright Electric\u2019<\/i> is that most of what follows fails to match the opener for melody or inventiveness. There are promising moments, and second single <i>\u2018Eskimo\u2019<\/i> provides some joy with its rallying chorus and surprising swagger. If anything, the singles do demonstrate the thoughtful work <b>Feeder<\/b> have put into the production stages of <i>\u2018All Bright Electric\u2019<\/i>. But, for the most part, a lot of what trails is a selection of mainly fine, radio-friendly rock songs, each well produced and professionally performed, but lacking anything that truly lingers in the psyche.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Acoustic track <i>\u2018Oh Mary\u2019<\/i> does provide a much needed change of pace, with Nicholas, clearly channelling his recent solo material, finally striking an emotive note in an otherwise hollow experience.<\/p>\n<p>Former Download Festival headliners <b>Feeder<\/b> are obviously British rock royalty, and will have a devoted fan base no matter what, but is it wrong to expect more from the band that gave us such classics like <i>\u2018Buck Rogers\u2019<\/i> and <i>\u2018Just The Way I\u2019m Feeling\u2019<\/i>? Devout fans will probably be satisfied enough, and will be happy just to have the band back and playing shows again, but after a 20+ year career that boasts 25 Top 40 hits, <b>Feeder<\/b> needed something truly special to stand out from their peers in a thriving 2016 UK rock scene and, despite taking the occasional chance, they just don\u2019t deliver that here.<\/p>\n<p>2.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018All Bright Electric\u2019<\/i> by <b>Feeder<\/b> is released on October 7th on <b>Cooking Vinyl<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Feeder<\/b> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/feederweb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/feederweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FeederHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Joe Philpott (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/joe_philpott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@joe_philpott<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a brief hiatus, British alt-rock veterans Feeder return with their 9th studio album, \u2018All Bright Electric\u2019.
