    The first track takes me straight back to RATM and the mid-90s. It gets even better from there. Sometimes a bit bleak lyrically but hey we can't all be of a cheerful disposition.

    I have no idea why this band aren't huge. An absolute classic of an album.

    This album ripped out my mind then showed it to me. I will travel with Travels always.

  1. Travels with Myself and Another distinguishes Future of the Left from Mclusky without completely severing ties, and proves they're a band that can keep post-hardcore exciting with righteous anger and merciless wit.
  2. Travels... is a 33 minute monster without a slither of excess fat, and the best thing Andy Falkous has ever put his name to.
  3. Yet despite the occasionally black subject matter this is a fine and powerful album for lovers of red meat rock, served rare.
