History Music / Feeder

* HiddenTrack: The original pressings of ''Yesterday Went Too Soon'' have "Bubblehead" hidden in the closer "Paperfaces". [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent It doesn't resemble]] ''[[SomethingCompletelyDifferent anything]]'' [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent on the album]], sound very similar to songs from Music/{{Beck}} or Music/SoulCoughing. Subverted in later presses and on streaming services.

* AlbumTitleDrop: Most of their albums do this. Seen with Swim, Polythene, Yesterday Went Too Soon, Comfort in Sound, Pushing the Senses, Silent Cry, Renegades, Generation Freakshow and Tallulah.

* BSide: "Picture Of Perfect Youth", a 2-disc set that covers 36 of their B-sides from the "Polythene" to "Comfort In Sound" era. Due to how prolific the band was there are still quite a few that were left out of the compilation.

* GreatestHitsAlbum: "The Singles" which contained three new tracks.

* MoodWhiplash: Taken to the extreme with "Godzilla", a noisy hard rock song sandwiched in between two soft rock songs.
* NewSoundAlbum: Any album after Echo Park.

* PrecisionFStrike: Feeder have only sworn once in a studio recorded song: the single ''Day In, Day Out'' has the lyrics "Taste the bullshit on a plane, we just pissed our lives away".

* TitleTrack: "Yesterday Went Too Soon", "Comfort in Sound", "Pushing the Senses", "Silent Cry" and "Generatio

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Polythene'' is more heavier compared to the material they would be releasing after, borrowing heavily from the American {{Grunge}} and AlternativeRock scene. Some reviewers at the time alluded them as the UK's answer to Music/TheSmashingPumpkins.

At the time of their B-Side releases, fans regarded them as WastedSong s and though unrelated, there were band petitions asking for them to be singles.

** ''Another Yesterday'' (2000) - a small b-sides companion piece to the album ''Yesterday Went To Soon'', released only in Japan.

Tropes that apply to the band:

* AlbumTitleDrop: Most of their albums do this. Seen with Swim, Polythene, Yesterday Went Too Soon, Comfort in Sound, Pushing the Senses, Silent Cry, Renegades and Generation Freakshow.

* {{B-Side|BSidesAlbum}} : "Picture Of Perfect Youth", a 2 disc set which covers 36 of them from the "Polythene" to "Comfort In Sound" era. Due to how prolific the band was there are still quite a few that were left out of the compilation.

* RearrangeTheSong: Whilst it still rocks, the single mix of Shatter was remixed to be less raw and more radio friendly, when compared to the original B-Side/Japanese bonus track version. Noticeably the percussion panning is different, and the remix removed a vocoded countermelody from the chorus.

* RereleaseTheSong: Two of the band's hits, "Just A Day" and "Shatter", were originally released as B-Sides, but then released as singles in their own right for the "Gran Turismo 3 Soundtrack" and "The Singles" respectively. At the time of their B-Side releases,

* EarWorm: "He's got a brand new car, looks like a Jaguar..."
* EpicRiff: Buck Rodgers. To the point that the riff alone is enough to drive a crowd nuts at concerts; fans will sing the opening riff in hope that the band actually plays it.

* NoExportForYou: As a result of the Echo Label falling into financial ruin, "Silent Cry" failed to sell well, so the band released the Seven Sleepers EP featuring the B-sides which would have appeared on the singles that were meant to be released, also with an acoustic rendition of "We Are The People", but due to not having a record label in the UK, the EP was distrubuted and sold in Japan by their Japanese Label.
** You could still purchace the EP through import though.

* SignatureSong: "Buck Rodgers", and "Just a Day".

** Debbie Harry of Blondie and actor Steve McQueen in "Under The Weather".

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: "Cement", from their first album, is pretty much about stalking a girl and being turned on by it, and at the same time being repulsed by the act; the video doesn't help either.
** Also from Polythene, "Descend" is a haunting song about proving one's sanity, and when played live (which is extended to 9 minutes or so) is pretty much Grant screaming "I'M NOT INSANE, CAN'T REACH THE PAIN".

* TearJerker: Far too many. "Comfort in Sound", both the individual song and album, can be seen as the biggest example. The album was written mostly due to losing their drummer and great friend to suicide. The cover consists of a cartoon angel crying and almost all the songs are about Grant's personal way of dealing with loss, claustrophobia, depression, but most importantly having hope. Many see this album as Grant's finest hour of songwriting.
** "Bitter Glass" from their next album ''Pushing the Senses'' deals with the fact that Grant felt he could have perhaps saved Jon from death. The opening line is "The thought of never knowing, would kill me all the same". What makes this lyric even more of a TearJerker is that Grant recieved a text message on his mobile from Jon, saying they needed to talk, but Grant had his mobile phone off. By the time the message reached Grant, it was too late.
** The title song, "Yesterday Went Too Soon'' is possibly one of the most tear jerking breakup songs out there. The song is about wanting your ex-partner to see the pain the breakup has caused while trying to move on with life. "I wish I could show you, I wish you could, see through my eyes, tomorrow shines through, but I'm still missing yesterday", and what makes this song even more of a tear jerker is that "Yesterday Went Too Soon" is written on Jon Lee's grave.

* AlbumTitleDrop: Most of their albums do this. Seen with Polythene, Comfort in Sound, Pushing the Senses, Silent Cry, and Renegades.
