Yeah I didn't mind it much either honestly. Really looking forward to this.

wankers. i wish they'd make a return to the brit-pop sound of "good feeling"; instead, of their melancholia. geez, what's their next album title going to be, "the girl who became a woman"?

But they made a fortune and married actresses and models, what have they got to be happy about!?

Travis are a band that should have been hermetically sealed in 2001.

maybe i'm being harsh, but i'm not really convinced that there's a need for anymore travis records. it's great that their drummer was able to recover from that accident and everything, but this style of music is fucking played out.

speaking of which, travis win the award of "rock band i would feel comfortable bringing my grandparents to see live"
i'm still undecided if this is an honor or a derision

i have to agree with mojo here. i used to be a huge fan, but the last couple albums have left much to be desired.

Not everything you listen to has to piss your grannies off.

I'm looking forward to a future volume 2 of their greatest hits.

had all the records, and never listened much to them in full. Tehn picked up the first hits collection and it is in constant rotation.

Hoping this is better than their last one which overall was pretty diappointing.
