Feelings Are Good and Other Lies

Feelings Are Good and Other Lies is the debut solo album by English musician John Taylor. It was released online in 1995; patrons had to email an AOL address to purchase it. A physical release followed in 1997. The record label, B5 Records, was co-founded by John Taylor and the producer, Hein Hoven.

Two songs on the album, the title track and "Always Wrong", also appeared on Neurotic Outsiders, but are presented as re-recorded versions with Taylor only. Steve Jones contributed guitar to the album.

Critical reception

Washington City Paper wrote that "although a proficient bass player, [Taylor]'s hardly a profound wordsmith."
