Feeder, "Walk Away"
Putting new songs on a Best Of album is a tricky business. Do you go for something that sounds very "now" and thus stands out from the older tracks on the compilation? Or do you consciously try to imitate your classic sound?
Feeder opts for the latter approach on this song from their new "Best Of," which sounds a lot like the other singles they've released over the past 20 years. But more importantly, it takes just the best parts of those singles--the dramatic rising intensity of the verses, the explosive chanted choruses, the catchy harmonies, the pounding drums-- and recombines them into something exciting and new.
