Don't really like any of the new songs except Figure You Out and Veins. Oh well.

I thought it was great on my first listen! I'm just grateful they're still making strong music 25 years in.

Thought I'd ordered my bundle to arrive at work, but was surprised when I got home and found it had been stuffed through the letterbox! Was all in one piece though, and a took a quick look through the book- it looks like they've put a lot of effort in to it!
I like Arrow as well. I can see that the songs are probably leftovers from previous albums (especially as b-sides are no more in the day of downloads), but Feeder b-side game has always been really strong. Sirens is really catchy to me, and Landslide is a belter.
I was streaming it at work and only got through the first album due to timings- 50 songs is a lot!

I really can agree with that. I also found "All Bright Electric" a lot harder to get into - especially after the excellent "Generation Freakshow", which I really loved and still do. And it did not work for all of the songs of "All Bright Electric". But "Arrow" is a complete different kind of animal. I really enjoy every song (if I had to exclude some to that, they would be "Figure You out" and "Walk away" - although they're also very good). I have already listened to it about five times and it just keeps getting better - although, of course, those are still first impressions of the album... And I also have to say that I do not hear too much of that "B-side vibe" that some found in "Arrow". It works quite well as an album which doesn't really count for "Picture of Perfect Youth".

So has anyone else added My Perfect Day to Arrow? I've put it as the opener and think it works well, also makes the album feel full length.
Also, as I type this there was just an advert for the album on Chanel 4! Can't remember the last time I saw an advert for a Feeder album, maybe The Singles?

Having a major label to back the release really helps ... it was EMI for The Singles and it's BMG this time around. I saw the ad too

Wow, I didn't realise they were signing the vinyl album inlays too. That's a lot of work. That's the white label promo version ...

Unreal how much I am enjoying Arrow.. Sound of Birds is a belter, how is it not a single! No joke I could see that breaking Radio 2 and some of the bigger radio stations.
Ordered the full bundle, with the 3CD a while ago. When I was in Asdas picking up a few things I seen that they had the 2CD version in and couldn't help myself lol.
Got the full sweep of this release including the test pressing. Whew.
(Except the CD promos of the singles)

The booklet confirms that Walk Away is from the Renegades sessions.

Yes, I am quite dumb at times. 3 vinyl for The Best Of and 1 for Arrow It's a 4 LPs boxset. I don't know how they managed to get the 4 together, as there's no differences except the matrix !

Just sat down and listened to Arrow twice through, on full volume.
I like it! I found ABE a bit stodgy and one-paced, so I'm enjoying the variety here.
I love 'Sirens'.

And now the same seller has listed the 4 vinyl with a buy now option and higher P&P...

Just got back home from a stag weekend to find these beauties on my doormat. Great package!
Only slight disappointment is the bad copy-editing in the booklet. “Un-phased” instead of “unfazed” (!!!), song titles in Italics rather than quotation marks, and a lot of other weird stuff (one paragraph ends with a comma, strange use of exclamation marks etc.). It just makes the whole thing look a little unprofessional.
Hey, maybe it’s a deliberate nod to the Stereo World CD single, where “floating” was mis-spelled!!! (That one always bugged me, too!)
I know the above sounds really pedantic, but my brain is wired to notice these things, so it really stands out to me!
Well, looking forward to listening to it!
