This is hailed as
Feeder’s return to rockier form, dropping their frustrating MOR style of recent albums. That’s fairly accurate; ‘Renegades’ is a proper, harder melodic rock record, as exemplified in the likes of ‘Sentimental’, ‘Home' and 'Barking Dogs’, the latter of which is based around a great, almost
QOTSAesque riff. However,
Feeder have become a band relished for penning anthemic songs, and there’s not much on ‘Renegades’ to suggest that they’re back to their best. It’s an obvious slight to suggest that
Feeder are heading towards rock retirement, and as such
Rock Sound is reticent to suggest so. Just did it though, sorry.
