Criticism
In a 2008 interview with Kerrang! on a selection of the bands singles, Grant expressed his annoyance with the Coldplay comparisons, in which he said they were only made because he played a piano on many of the tracks that were on the album. In a 2011 interview with Cambridge based webzine The Tab, Grant elaborated on these criticisms by saying "Feeder have a much broader music dynamic musically, and we are a much heavier band, both live and on record. I have a lot of respect for Coldplay and we have toured with them, but we are two totally different bands, both dynamically and musically. I just think it's lazy journalism".

—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
