From Aural Innovations #23 (April 2003)
The Feud say they play rock music and that seems to fit their expertise rather well. Combining a heady instrumental mix of modern rock genre influenced by everyone from Canterbury style proggisms to Sonic Youth and their jagged guitar rock soundscapes into an appealing instrumental hodgepodge of styles and variations, I find this, their second album, to contain a very quirky and intellectual approach to making rock music you hear very few other places, probably landing them well within the "post-rock" genre, a genre which seemed to rear its head in the early 90's with more "intelligent" indie and rock bands like Stereolab and Tortoise deconstructing modern pop music for a new generation, though The Feud's instrumental works seem to draw less on the German minimalism of Neu! and Can and more on quintessential English prog rock and jazz innuendo ala Matching Mole or Henry Cow. It is complex rock music without the pretensions of "art" getting in the way of it being true artistic music, keeping it a clear mile or two away from ever being labeled "art rock" as it's probably more "punk" so to speak, at least if one were to get down to the nitty gritty of things. If you were to catch someone with an orange mohawk quietly sipping away on a cup of tea and listening to Genesis's "Selling England By The Pound", this would probably be it. Buy this album and be well aware that modern rock music can exist in an artistic genre that is full of ideas and creativity you are not sure where the wall between "progrock" and "punk" died, somewhere where The Feud demonstrate a strange form of genius. Buy this album being very well aware of this.

SURVEYOR: So, what's something a woman keeps in her purse?
GUY ON STREET: I don't know, her drivers license? Keys?
SURVEYOR: This is for "Family Feud", by the way.
GUY ON STREET: Ohhhh! Definitely a vibrator then.

the way the sound cuts out after "his tallywhacker" always gets me

thing that annoys me most about this show is that more often than not it only matters who wins the final round. if it were me I'd just fuck around until then
― a very very unfair (Neanderthal), Sunday, 19 November 2023 04:23 (two years ago)
pretty sure that's by design. you don't really want the last round to not matter
― frogbs, Sunday, 19 November 2023 04:26 (two years ago)
yeah but if a team wins the first three rounds it's kinda fucked that the other family can win by just winning one round. feels very 'next basket wins'
― a very very unfair (Neanderthal), Sunday, 19 November 2023 04:27 (two years ago)
like on Jeopardy they have a million useless Final Jeopardies where the leader is more than double the second and third place contestant and could wager $0 and still win!
― a very very unfair (Neanderthal), Sunday, 19 November 2023 04:28 (two years ago)
isn't there some kind of tiebreaker in that case? look I agree it ain't a good system but also it's not really a serious gameshow, in fact I'm pretty sure I've seen BTS clips which imply that if a contestant fucks up something on taping they let them change answers. also Final Jeopardy is at the end of the show which maybe they don't mind if people skip but the 3x round is kinda in the middle of the show

I just want Congress to take a look at this, that's all

I guess this is a good time to mention this is probably my favorite video on YouTube
― frogbs, Sunday, 19 November 2023 05:05 (two years ago)
this is why i think it should be "best 3 out of 5 rounds" instead
