''Yesterday Went Too Soon'' is the second full-length album by the British rock band Feeder. It was released on August 30, 1999 on The Echo Label. The album entered the UK charts at #8, after a decent amount of critical success. The title track gave them their first top 20 single, and the album would in total give the band 4 top 50 hits. Its critical and cult appeal including slots on Top of the Pops for the first time, enabled the album to aid the band's breakthrough which was completed on the follow-up ''Echo Park''. The album gained a Silver certification in April 2001, shortly before the release of breakthrough album ''Echo Park'',〔(FeederWeb )〕 and then went Gold in March 2003 after the extended commercial recognition of ''Comfort In Sound'',〔(BPI searchable database )〕 thus making the album an overdue commercial success sales-wise. Despite the band's American breakthrough with single "High" and extensive touring in the States, ''Yesterday Went Too Soon'' was never released in the US. Promotional copies of the album were released by the band's former US label Elektra, but they would ultimately turn down the album for distribution. ==Charts and sales== When the album was released, the band's reputation was on the rise and it entered the UK albums chart at number eight, which was at the time an unexpected chart position for the band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Maker Shakers"- Melody Maker article )〕 Before that, the band had released the album's first single, "Day In Day Out", in March 1999 which charted at #31 followed by "Insomnia" at #22, resulting in their first appearance on Top of the Pops.〔〔Pete Seaton and Richard Down.

The album was then released on 30 August 1999. Only one single was lifted from the album after its release, in which a re-recorded version of "Paperfaces" charted at #41.〔 The album was ''Melody Makers #24 album of 1999,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Melody Maker yearly albums lists )〕 while ''Metal Hammer'' placed the album in at #6 and ''Kerrang!'' ranked it at #16.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Hammer yearly albums lists )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kerrang! yearly albums lists )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yesterday Went Too Soon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
