Summary: love it when they play
Comment: A little bit pop, little bit ELO, little bit rock, little bit Queen, mix it all together get The Feeling. 12 perfectly crafted pop rock ditties that bring a little bit of the Seventies back into vogue, but with better production values. Fans of Brit pop rock should definitely give this group a listen.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A+ for the Feeling
Comment: These guys are great! I saw them on Abbey Road on tv and had to buy the cd. Being a wine drinker, I love "Rose'"!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dare I say it? They sound like the Beatles.
Comment: The Beatles'influence can be heard in most modern artists, but I wonder if these guys listened to anyone else growing up. The Beatles were brillant in the late 60's and here, 40-some years later, The Feeling have cranked out an album that feels contemporary, yet very much in line with their "Forefathers". Very enjoyable disk! (BTW, this is way, way, WAY better than Keane)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Got a good "feeling" about this band. Strange, though, that no one has even mentioned the beautiful and melancholic "Strange".
Comment: My favorite band currently, and most likely always will be, is Keane. However, it looks like "The Feeling", for me anyway, is not that far behind Keane, with their glorious piano driven, melodious soft pop-rock.
Particularly is this evident on the seventh song of this album, "Strange".
I am really surprised at how overlooked this song seems to be in regards to the other reviewers here. I also feel that it would really do well as a single and quite frankly, is one of the main reasons why I purchased this album in the first place. This is not to say that there are no other good songs on here. By no means. "The Feeling" really have a lot of good quality tunes on this album and hopefully this record is the first of many more.

Summary: Feels good
Comment: The Feeling are another one of those bands that I was introduced to on the Tonight Show. Although I don't remember what song they performed (it was probably "Sewn"), they sounded good, so I decided to check out their album Twelve Stops and Home.
As I listened to the album, I was wondering if a few of the songs had homoerotic undertones; a notion that was somewhat confirmed upon learning that lead vocalist Dan Gillespie is openly gay -- but seeing how I'm an LGBT rights supporter, that doesn't bother me; also, I forgot exactly what songs gave me that feeling, which makes it even less important. Anyway, aside from "Sewn", there are other great tracks like "Never Be Lonely" and "Helicopter"; and "Same Old Stuff" is far from being just that. But if you want songs that are just plain catchy, try "Anyone" or "I Want You Now" on for size.
The guys also do a good job with ballads, like "Miss You", "Blue Piccadilly" (the song that inspired the album's title) and especially "Rosé". Speaking of slow songs, though, I really couldn't follow "Kettle's On". Technically, it's NOT a slow song; it's, well, it sounds like a faster song that got slower due to a dubbing error. But the greatness of the rest of the album overshadows that, so Twelve Stops and Home is worth stopping into the record store to pick up.

Editorial Reviews:

With "indie" rapidly becoming a by-word for "whinging", it's refreshing to hear an album like the Feeling's debut. People who come to this album having only heard the catchy-yet-downbeat single "Sewn" might find the jaunty, upbeat tone of the rest of this album a refreshing surprise. Twelve Stops and Home is pure, summery optimism, with most tracks bouncing along at a happy, head-nodding pace, and packed to the brim with simple, singalong lyrics, including the liberal use of "la-la-la" and "na-na-na". Sure it's lightweight, but that's no bad thing--it cuts like a ray of sunshine right through the knee-hugging depression of contemporaries Coldplay and Keane, with whom the Feeling are sometimes, bizarrely, compared. Instead, Twelve Stops and Home is a pop album straight out of the 1970s, played by young men with guitars and a piano. Which explains why "Fill My Little World" and "I Want You Now" are so cheerful, sounding like Squeeze would have if they sang about puppies. On Twelve Stops and Home, the Feeling may not be out to change the world, but they're happy to make it a bit brighter. --Ted Kord
