Free Music Notes for Twelve Stops & Home
Free Music Review: Feels good
Hit: 4 Stars
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.

Free Music Review: Really strong, upbeat pop
Hit: 4 Stars
Echoing later 10cc, Supertramp at their peak, and, yes, even the earlier Beatles, The Feeling does a great job of offering catchy, melodic pop that is simply a pleasure to listen to.
But despite the influences I mentioned above, The Feeling isn't a retro band or a throwback to something else. It's just tough to come up with equally infectious pop creators among their peers. . . not many bands are currently filling this niche (without also trying to sound appropriately "hip" and ironic).
It's great to hear a modern band that's not afraid to embrace the best that pop that can be: full arrangements, tight harmonies, hummable melodies, and a refreshing sense of humor.
Get The Feeling.
Free Music Review: One of my favorite new bands.
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a fantastic album. Very well played, insightful lyrics and extremely ear friendly. These guys know how to make a good pop record. I highly recomend this. In the vain of Travis, and coldplay a bit although (ironically based on their name) I'd say with a bit more punch than those two. I enjoyed the album tremendously and still regularly listen. Actually this was a second purchase as the first cd obtained a nasty scratch on my favorite track no less.
I like this ablum from top to bottom, and the cool thing is it will grow on you.
p.s. their second album is good but not as good as this one.
Free Music Review: love it when they play
Hit: 4 Stars
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.Free Music Review: Left me with an empty feeling
Hit: 2 Stars
I decided to purchase "Twelve Stops and Home" after falling in love with "Sewn." The album sounds reminicent to the likes of Queen, 10cc and such. There was something peculiar about the lyrics in the songs that left me wondering.
