The boy with no name is definitely the best album of the last year!

 

agreed.

dunno about the uk and elsewhere, but in germany it was/is extremely underrated :(

It was a bit underrated here in the UK aswell, although most critics agreed that most of the songs were sound, even though the album itself wasn't very cohesive. Either way I enjoyed it ;)

I gets boring around track 7, as in the sound gets on top of you and you want to turn it off. I totally grew out of it evenually, after a month. The Man Who is a better album in that its not just one poppy hit after another. But its also got some boring points.

 

Both beat The Invisible band that has 4 - 5 worthy songs.

Imo:

 

1. The Man Who

2. Good Feeling

3. The Boy With No Name

4. The Invisible Band

5. 12 Memories

 

You one might say TBWNN was a 'middle-of-the-road' album for Travis.

I really liked it though.

 

I don't know if they will ever be able to top The Man Who though. That album was outstanding.

I couldnt even have bought it here

I agree that it went down a bit in the 2nd half of the album. Down to My Eyes (track 7) it was some of their best stuff IMO. Closer in particular is such an amazing beautiful song. 2nd only to Why Does it Always Rain on Me? for me. But the songs after My Eyes are not much good unfortunately, which brings the album down as a whole. Probably have it an equal 2nd with The Invisible Band though. Really can't wait for the new album now, and then a trip down under hopefully sometime in the not too distant future!

I agree with you Alex,but the first half of the album saves it all and fortunately the singles are from the first half

'Friends' sounds awesome in that video. :)

^agreed, it's beautiful...

 

here's a band version :)

A new album ALREADY? :shocked2:

 

i got same feeling...

so soon:shocked2:

Not too sure any Travis albums are that great, the latest was just a selection of pleasent songs. At least The Man Who had a sense of proper consruction and inventiveness.

aaaaaaaaaaa

 

I don't like the man who. it is dull

I've only listened to Singles and TBWNN :(

so, how do you define "proper construction"? ;)

i think it's always a matter of taste...

Yep,absolutely,the first half of TBWNN is absolutely stunning

Hey, Hi everyone

 

well, in my opinion Travis music is really great!!!

 

is not like... "the greates band ever" but they're good and they've maintained a level!!! And that's why I like their music!

 

BTW they're really polite people! I have the opportunity of meeting them when they came to Mexico and they were really good at us!!! It was an amazing experience!!!

Never met them, but I did tap Neil on the right shoulder once.

New albums got a name, Ode to J. Smith

 

Due late Summer 2008

Someone on the Travis board said it could be the first Travis album without the band on the front cover! Still can't believe they've done another album this quickly, I'm made up.

it's so great to hear album news so soon... the boy with no name is a really good album, and their live show was perfect.. can't wait to see them again :D
