Echo Park is the third full-length album by the British Rock/Pop band Feeder. It was released on April 23, 2001 (see 2001 in music) on The Echo Label. At the time of Echo Park's release, Feeder had finally broken the mainstream with their smash hit single "Buck Rogers", which had reached #5 in the British Charts. Feeder also released two more singles, "Seven Days In The Sun" which reached #14, and "Turn" which reached #27.

The album was voted at #25 in the "Top 100 British Rock Albums of All Time" list by Kerrang! magazine readers in 2005, and also went platinum in the UK during August 2003.

A fourth single, "Just A Day", was released subsequent to the album, it had originally been a b-side for "Seven Days In The Sun", and became Feeder's best-selling single, reaching #12 in the charts and regularly ends their live sets. In recent times however, a cover of Nirvana's "Breed" has been the finisher instead.

[edit] Blemish

There is an awareness amongst the band's fanbase regarding an omitted song Grant Nicholas mentioned in a 2000 interview for "Feederweb", their official site, in which he was asked about new songs when recording sessions for the album were taking place at Great Linford Manor studios in Milton Keynes, UK. In response to the question he said There's one called Buck Rogers, one called 7 Days and one called Blemish, but that's all I'm saying! ("7 Days" soon became "Seven Days In The Sun").

When the final tracklisting was released, the track was omitted leading fans wanting to know if it was a working title for one of the songs on the album. However earlier on in 2001 Feederweb ran a Q&A session for Grant and the fans, and the question regarding the song was asked, with Grant revealing it was an unreleased track from the "Echo Park" sessions.

When the tracklisting for the "Come Back Around" single was revealed on HMV.com it was one of the b-sides on CD2 of the single. This was however replaced by an acoustic version of the main track. It has been said that the song was recorded with two takes on the chorus, but this is the only knowledge fans on the message boards outside the band's label Echo and the band have of the song.

This was the first time since 1996 the title of an unreleased Feeder track was revealed to the public, as an old 1995 setlist has two unreleased tracks on it: "Why" and "Vanilla".
