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

 Much Better Than Expected July 25, 2008
Music Lover (Indianapolis, IN)
The Feeling deliver on what was relished as pure pop music from the 1960's and 1970's. Due to corporate control of radio stations and their formats, it would literally take a miracle for the type of music The Feeling promote to get any broadcast air time. Discovered this group via YouTube.com and their cover of The Buggles 'Video Killed the Radio Star'. Their lyrics are thought provoking and their harmonies genuine. The 'Twelve Stops and Home' CD is sincerely worth your time.
 love it when they play March 4, 2008

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.
A+ for the Feeling December 21, 2007

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'"!
Dare I say it? They sound like the Beatles. December 20, 2007

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)
Got a good "feeling" about this band. Strange, though, that no one has even mentioned the beautiful and melancholic "Strange". October 19, 2007

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.
