Feeder Plythene
While these English alternoids have been acclaimed by the British press, one cannot overlook such egregious flaws on their first album as song intros that evoke modern-day classics like Oasis' "Wonder-wall." The semi-title track "Polythene Girl" and single "Cement" stand out as acceptable contributions to the category they generally get lumped in: poppy British space-rock. On the other hand, the rest of the album is just more fodder for the genre's growing scrap heap. Feeder, a threesome, seem to focus on song lyrics about drugs and problems with girlfriends, but hey, who doesn't? All in all, Polythene is a rather tepid collection of songs, causing one to wonder what the British press could possibly be thinking.
