Wed, 6 Feb 2002 12:11:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - Who exactly is Travis? Well, the band formed in 1990 in Glasgow, Scotland. Since their inception, Travis has released four albums beginning with the independently released All I Wanna Do Is Rock (1996) and rapping up most...

The Man Who by Travis: Writing music to reach you...

Fri, 21 Sep 2001 12:53:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cor-blimey - An exaggeration it is not to say that the four hit singles, and one or two others, from Travis' second album The Man Who made up the soundtrack to the British summer of 1999. The sounds of the fesh-faced, young Scottish whippersnappers were to be heard...

The Man Who by Travis: You'll Get The England-Feeling!

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 10:42:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spinbn - I learned about Travis from a great German alternative Music-TV-Station (VIVA 2) and was completely infatuated right away! I just had to buy their album, after realizing the fact that Travis don't only have one good song to offer, but also a few more...

The Man Who by Travis: Addictive songwritting propels The Man Who

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 06:32:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bjd012 - Travis is a band I just started listening to about a year ago. Their first record Good Feeling is ok but The Man Who is a great record. You can listen to every song all the way through and that is a hard thing to do with any groups albums. The songs...

The Man Who by Travis: If Thom Yorke had a baby with Noel and Liam

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 01:10:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Falloutdog - As a rather large Radiohead fan, and an Anglophile in general, many good things had passed to my ear about The Man Who, which actually got its name from the book "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for Hat" which is a book of stories about...

The Man Who by Travis: Music to melt an indie-rocker's heart

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 22:17:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aconover - It's true: the best music being made these days is on independent labels. Under such conditions, it's easy to reach a state of being instantly biased against all "popular" music. Nevertheless, there are a select few artists still making...

The Man Who by Travis: Love the sinner, hate the sin

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 20:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Daniel_Rf - Yay verily, brothers and sisters: Fran Healy and his cronies have commited grave heresy against the holy church of Rock. The number of crimes that they have commited is large, but I shall try to mention as many as possible:

Under the evil...

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 17:19:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NinaNee - This is my absolute favorite album that I bought this year. I bought this album because I only caught the very tail end of the Why Does It Always Rain On Me? video on MTV2. I was instantly hooked and bought the album that day on the way home from work...

The Man Who by Travis: The Band Who Rocks

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 17:45:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_burrell - At first listen, The Man Who (and the band Travis who've made it) sound like an amalgam of British rock's elite - as if they were rolled into one. The winsome, sometimes throwaway lyrics resembling those of Noel Gallagher (of...

The Man Who by Travis: If Jeff Buckley Had a Lobotomy...

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 18:35:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author binxinator - ...he'd probably sound like Travis. Travis is a remarkably bland band from Glasgow. In spite of all their repetitious nonsense and superficially insightful lyrics, they've managed to become quite popular in the UK, where "The Man Who" was the...

The Man Who by Travis: Brit Music Awards Album of the Year

Sat, 2 Sep 2000 00:06:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DaveCass - Perhaps, the best album UK has produced thus far on a large scale in 2000.

I bought this album after hearing the sensational single "Why does it always Rain on Me?" and upon first listen I knew I had found something worth holding on to...

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 09:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - Travis seemed to arrive from nowhere with the release of their second album, 'The Man Who'. But what a way to make an impact. Having now sold over 2 million copies in the UK alone, with several more million worldwide, Travis are undoubtedly one of the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Nathanael73 - My friends have been trying to convert me into a Travis fan for the past three years.

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 22:58:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dinoboy - "The Man Who" is the latest record in a tradition of melancholy music from the UK. It started with the Smiths's "Meat is Murder" and includes albums from bands like The Beautiful South, Radiohead, and the Verve. Like its...

The Man Who by Travis: Lamentia Lachrymosa

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 07:49:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author molotov - If it’s true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Radiohead and Oasis ought to feel awfully flattered indeed by the Glasgow-based band Travis. Produced by Radiohead’s designated knob-twiddler Nigel Godrich, The Man Who finds the four...

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 18:30:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lafutura - ...or I hope one day they will, anyway!

First of all, music-wise, Travis are not stomping on any new territory. Having said that, I can't think of a single band these days that is. Yes, "Writing To Reach You" has chords in it from Oasis'...

The Man Who by Travis: Sure, it's derivative, but does anyone really care?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author noisey - (Vanna, please make that four and a half stars, thank you.)

Travis –The Band Who Delivers.

This is the album that brought Travis to prominence in the UK, and on listening; it’s easy to see why. The album is full of well-crafted songs with catchy hooks, and strong...
