Feels

Rolling Stone (No. 987, p.133)
- 3 out of 5 stars - "...[M]aintains a sense of childlike joy and free-flowing exploration while creating bizarro pastoral reveries out of primitive tom-tom beats, guitar screeches and all kinds of overlapping vocals...."

Spin (p.60)
- Ranked #36 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2005" - "[With] falsetto singsong, light-hearted do-do-dos, war-play whoops. Drop your guard and it'll sound something like wisdom."

Entertainment Weekly (No. 845, p.75)
- "...[B]reathlessly giddy and shamelessly trippy..." - Grade: A

Mojo (p.60)
- Ranked #4 in Mojo's "Top Ten Underground Albums Of 2005."

Mojo (p.108)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "FEELS is every bit as chaotically charming as its predecessor....By turns playful and upbeat, subdued and drifting..."

Magnet (p.87)
- "FEELS is layered as no other Collective album before it. Because of this, the instruments melt into a pure sound where melodies and bits of harmonic ideas are left to linger long after they've disappeared."

The Wire (p.51)
- "[I]nclusive in its busy, cluttered sound, where everything seems to be happening at once and nothing is left out....[With an] emphasis on accessibility through melody and the conveyance of an almost childlike sense of wonder."

The Wire (p.43)
- Included in The Wire's "2005 Rewind: 50 Records Of The Year."
