Surviving the Quiet is the debut album by the British band Seafood, following 1998's singles compilation Messenger in the Camp.[2] The album was released in 2000.
Kerrang! wrote: "'Folksong Crisis' is a sweet-and-sour sing-along that rides its hooks like Sonic Youth thrashing it out with Sleater-Kinney; and the more subdued numbers showcased a young band reaching a kind of creative maturity that’d feed into a very good follow-up, 2001’s When Do We Start Fighting..."[3] The Times deemed it a "crackling bolt of sonic electricity."[4] The Independent thought that the band's "repertoire sounds like a reprise of much of the best of the 1990s American alternative scene ... But the guys carry it off."[5]
