Musically, Comfort in Sound is mellower than Feeder’s previous albums, with the use of a string orchestra on ” Forget About Tomorrow “, while other tracks on the album also used an accordion , trumpet , and a piano played by their manager Matt Page, with “Godzilla” being one of two tracks on the album to use loud guitars. The album was their first release to be certified platinum, (with Echo Park going platinum later on). It also spawned their second top 10 single, with ” Just the Way I’m Feeling ” in January 2003. In December of the same year they took on their only arena tour, after the album’s first nationwide tour was a sell out with 50,000 tickets sold, and visited 21 different towns and cities in the United Kingdom over 23 different dates. In reaction to this, the band were invited to the Glastonbury Festival being placed third on the last day, playing the “Pyramid Stage”. Shortly after the release of the single, the band were invited to support Coldplay on their UK and Europeean tour, due to their frontman Chris Martin often saying how much he liked the Comfort in Sound album and their live shows. Their show at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena was reviewed by Kerrang! , which seen Steve Beebee give the band 4/5 (KKKK) for their performance.
