    The problem with these reviews is that this is Travis Morrison, not The Dismemberment Plan. If you're expecting Dismemberment Plan, you've already ruined his album for yourself. However, it is true that this album isn't quite like anything he had done while with the Plan. It's never quite as energetic, and like mentioned, it has a lack of his frantic vocals.

This by far is not a disaster of any sort. It's actually quite listenable. Don't let the bad reviews ruin it for you.… Expand

    Morrison's predictably intelligent solo debut puts personality where the Dismemberment Plan's synergy used to be.

    A collection of enigmatic indie-rock tunes. [Nov 2004, p.119]

    Travistan fails so bizarrely that it's hard to guess what Morrison wanted to accomplish in the first place.
