The Feeling return with a new album this February and the hope of mirroring the success of their 2006 debut album Twelve Stops and Home.
The ‘tricky second album’ sees The Feeling maturing considerably and moving away from the upbeat, poppy sound of Twelve Stops.
First single ‘I Thought It Was Over’ is a strong album opener and immediately shows a change in The Feeling’s sound.
‘Spare Me’, ‘Connor’ and ‘This Time’ are absolutely beautiful tracks and demonstrate a real song writing maturity.
‘Won’t Go Away’ is far more upbeat than a lot of this album but still illustrates The Feeling’s new mature sound.
There is one too many album fillers on this release with several of the tracks being rather forgettable.
Join With Us is unlikely to reach the dizzying heights of Twelve Stops but The Feeling have undoubtedly shown that they will continue to grow into a really great band.
