The Man Who by Travis (UK)

Pros: Beautiful. Beautiful.
Cons: Two "only ok" songs. But could you ask for more?

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...

Pros: great songs, good vocalist, good guitar
Cons: one silly song

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....

Pros: Solid song writing and songs that so addicting you can't help but like them.
Cons: Don't really have any.

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...

Pros: Slide Show
Cons: Driftwood (I just can't get into that song!)

...or I hope one day they will, anyway!

Pros: A Few Good Songs, But My World Was Not Rocked
Cons: Trite Lyrics - Never Refer to Oasis in Your Song.

This album has gotten a lot of hype over the past year, with people (especially Brits) falling all over themselves to see who could declare Travis the "next Radiohead" first. But after several attempts at getting into this record, I've been left feeling...

Pros: Beautiful cd
Cons: If you like to rock extremely hard, this isnt the cd for you

All i have to say is that this has got to be the best album i have heard in a long time. Its a simple cd, easy to listen to, and very enjoyable. Its one of those cds that you can listen to in any mood youre in and its still great. Although they rip...

Pros: Lyrics are amazing
Cons: Album too short!

There album was voted best album of 1999,and quite right to! "The Man Who" was critisized so much by music critics,who never made it as musicians,that people want to make their own judgements.Turning out that it made number one,on the album...
