Contents
The album debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling around 60,000 copies in its first week, making the album one of the highest charting post-hardcore albums of all time. It has sold 180,000 copies in the US as of March 2015. The album also debuted at number 36 on UK Albums Chart and number 14 on Australian Albums Chart. It is the final album to feature rhythm guitarist Jesse Lawson after his departure from the band later in 2013.
Critical response
Feel received generally positive reviews from music critics. Gregory Heaney of AllMusic commented that "the talented vocal of Kellin Quinn making an album like Feel a shining light in an increasingly homogenized post-hardcore landscape." Scott Heisel of Alternative Press stated "while the collaboration with MGK gels perfectly and could totally be a crossover smash, the collaboration with Memphis May Fire’s Matty Mullins is misguided" and continued "still, the good more than outweighs the bad, and as a whole, Feel is a big step up."
