�Can�t Stand Losing You� shocked many fans in the Summer of 2001, when it was played at many festivals- with it�s debut at Reading 2001 when it closed their set, as it�s their first attempt at a cover. This time it�s a cover of the Police classic in 1982, which charted at #2. I myself and many fans prefer this version better, as it�s got a lot more energy and is much more faster with the Feeder trademark sound all over it, making it their own song. The original was rather slow, making it a reggae-like track.
�Piece By Piece� is a top track from the Echo Park album. The video is talked about in the �Promo Videos� section. The song itself is a slow-paced guitar-laden anthem, which was actually released as a single in Europe on the Roadrunner label, and gets occasional airplay on German radio. The track is one of my faves on the album. Just A Day also made the A-list of a top South African station, after �Buck Rogers� topped their chart, and �Seven Days In The Sun� went top 40.
�Slowburn� was played at the encore at Reading 2002, and sounded really raw and emotional. It�s one of those fan-fave tracks again, but with the novelty of being a b-side. "Emily" is great stuff too!, with loud choruses!!!!.
Every time I hear "Slowburn", I always think of the guys playing it at Reading that year.
This single is actually Feeder�s best-selling single to date, and stayed in the top 25 for 5 weeks- the whole of the Christmas holidays, and becoming the Christmas #16 that year after dropping from #12 the week before. Sadly the 4th, 5th and 6th weeks on the top 40, were made to feel irrelevant by the tragic suicide of charismatic drummer Jon Lee on the 7th January 2002.

�Feel It Again� is becoming a bit of a live fave, and once again becomes one of those one that better some of the A-sides. This one continues with the trademark Feeder sound, with the song reflecting on the recent situation with the band, but this time looking forward instead of backward, saying that Grant can �feel it again� and �it�s getting better every day now�, which really does show how the band are keeping up hope, making it a brilliant hope song, and a feel-good one at the same time.
�Bullet� is a pretty decent track, but not the best on the package by a long shot. It�s has neat blasting guitars, and is well constructed, and is rather listenable as a result.
�Opaque� is pretty good, what with it�s well-constructed drum sounds, and experimental effects but isn�t really worth A-side material, I still like this though and is a good reason to buy it.
The acoustic �Come Back Around� is basically a re-recording of the original version, with Grant using an acoustic instead of an electric. It�s a very good version, but shouldn�t have been on a CD single, but instead on the picture gallery of the DVD, so �Blemish� could have been track 3 on CD2 as what was originally intended, until it got dropped at the last minute. Because after all the �Just The Way I�m Feeling� acoustic does appear on the DVD photo gallery only.
