Amazon.co.uk Review
Feeder's second full length album--the self produced and occasionally self indulgent Yesterday Went Too Soon--is an altogether much more sobering affair than 2001's Echo Park--the curious pop mixture of cider and lemons that saw the band finally gatecrash the charts. Progressing from the heavy riffs and suffocating places of debut Polythene, Grant Nicholas' true songwriting begins to shine through with a quirkiness not previously encountered. "Anaesthetic" and "Picture of Perfect Youth" are modern rock songs and he's never afraid to don his post-Nirvana top hat (the irascible "Waiting For Changes"). But the album's heart, when revealed, sounds broken and isolated. The fragile "Tinsel Town" and the mature "So Well" demonstrate this mindset admirably. Unfortunately, Nicholas' own judgement occasionally gets the better of him and the album sags in the middle with the quite unremarkable "Day In Day Out" and the ill-advised socio-political musings of "Radioman". However his is a talent to be treasured, never in the gutter looking up at the stars, but flying high above the clouds waiting to crash down. --Ben Johncock

Customer Reviews

WOW! The best album in the world ever!
Before i bought this album i had already bought 'Polythene' which reallly suprised me .....It was sooo good! I started liking Feeder as soon as i heard 'Buck Rogers'Since then i have bought every single and album the've done and the one that stands out the most is 'Yesterday went too soon'. I has everything i ever had wanted from and an album and everything i will want. It is truly amazing!

My personal fave is the unbelieveably catchy 'Insomnia' (If you like 'Buck Rogers' you'll love this). As for the rest of the songs they are all top quality. It contains Feeders origional stlye and a contrast between slow and fast songs for example;'Dry' then 'Hole in my head' then 'So Well'. All this makes for a classic album..........A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!

It's worth buying the album for Insomnia alone!
This was the first Feeder album i ever bought, at the time i just bought it for Insomnia (which is the best song ever!). But i was pleasently suppriesed by how good the rest of the album is. In my opinion it is the best of all the Feeder albums. On 'Yesterday Went Too Soon' every song is quality (even the hidden track is quite good). Although if you are expecting 13 songs all like 'Insomnia' you'll be disapointed, but given half a chance songs like 'Picture of Perfect Youth' and 'Yesterday Went To Soon' will grow on you and end up becoming some of your favourite song. Overall a very good album and if you were like me thinking 'i like Buck Rodgers and Insomnia but i don't know if it's worth buying a Feeder album' you should definatley buy this, you wont' regret it!

The best album in the world...........ever!
In 1999, I first got into Feeder thanks to their TOTP and TFI Friday appearances that year. However, I was still yet to hear an album by Feeder, so got all the ones I didn't have all on the same day in Virgin Megastore. A few weeks later I've been reading loads of rave reviews for "Yesteday Went Too Soon" and knew it would be yet another impressive album by Feeder, and I was not to be disapointed.

The album consists of showing many different sides to Feeder's music. The heavy as in "Waiting For Changes", the mellow-acoustic flavours of "Dry" and "Tineltown", the experimental delights of "So Well" and "Radioman" and the downright mosh-pit frenzy of a tune by the name of "Hole In My Head".

Every track is something special, when I first heard Feeder albums it was the first time in my life I bought an album, and every track is supberb, and this one carries on that trend which so far has not and never will stop.

I really like the way the album is organised,- you get a heavy track, a mellow track, a heavy track then maybe another heavy track and then something experimental thrown in for fine measure and variety. This is not one of those CD's where you have a track in mind you're intending to skip when it comes along.

Even 4 years after it's release I'm still playing it week by week, and for that to happen to a four year old album really must mean how timeless Feeder are.

If you buy one CD today, make sure it's this one.
