mattaOct 5, 2005Not quite as bad as the metascore would indicate, this third album from Travis still is the about the equal of Invisible Band, but very inferior to The Man Who. THere is a handful of nice tracks though especially Quicksand, Peace the Fuck Out, Somewhere Else, and Love Will Come Through.

spencerOct 1, 2005By far the best Travis cd and better than anything Radiohead has ever done. It's not poppy and overly melodramatic as some of their others. The sound of a band progressing.

MaxOct 24, 2003This album is a great album by Travis, the songs that stand out are Peace the fuck out and re-offender. The other voter hates music,

anshumansOct 24, 2003well the new album is not as strong as their previous works.. for me the invisible band is still the best. or perhaps the more u listen to it..the more it can grow on you.. not a bad effort record overall though!

DavidSOct 23, 2003This is a good album. It lacks the charm of the earlier work, but it is a definite departure from the common English Trad-rock they laid out in previous, less sophisticated, but preferable albums.

OliverOct 22, 2003it's moving, charming, sometimes dark, sometimes uplifting, and from the first until the last second simply a great record by a great band.

JustinAOct 16, 2003A little bit disappointing for me since I really like all three of their previous albums, but especially the last two. The anti-war stuff is a little overdone for my taste. Still, some good stuff that Travis fans will like. I like Peace the F*** out the best.

ThomasOct 14, 2003We don't need anymore CDs from these guys. We've gotten the point. Nice music for nice people. Inoffensive music noone could possibly hate, and noone could possibly adore. Should sell like hotcakes, then.

Gone are the inspired melodies and sweet emotional turns of their past triumphant albums, replaced by boring philosophical musings and wafer-thin tunes.
-
Weighted with tunes that approach middle age with tension and caution.

Buttressing these sentiments (and singer Fran Healy's dewy voice) is just the type of production Travis needed: jarring guitar solos, zigzagging harmonies, snow-crunching percussion.
