Travis anyone?

[Laura M]

So has anyone got the new album yet? I"m interested in some impressions. Every review I've seen so far has pretty much stated this is their weekest effort.

I can get the cd brand new for $8, but I just dont know if it's worth it.

omg no I bought it yesterday I think its one of their best ones And them playing on Monday oh they were excellent. And Fran got really into it and Dougie slipped & fell on the ground


mini fly i love U-16 girls and All I wanna do is rock

their dvd from gig on the green is phenomenal.

ahh good to hear laura, that you like the new album. It will be some time until i can buy it...but one day
I like the song "The Fear" too.
I have been playing "turn" (my favourite from what I have heard so far) just about on loop lately. Have you seen the film clip that accompanies it? I think it is very moving.

Is the one for turn the one where he is doing all the press ups? ITs been ages since I seen a Travis video on TV apart from Re-offender

I love Travis, saw them live 2yrs ago and it was great! I'm getting their new album for my b-day 2moro! Love Re-Offender and their other 3 albums are amazing!

 

[Laura M]

You must have seen them on the tour I seen them on when the Invisible band was released Celia I seen them in the Odysssey then they played better this week - they suited the smaller venue

 

[celia]

Yeah i saw them on the Invisible Band Tour at the Hammersmith Appollo. had really good seats and they were great!

I really wanted to see them play 2moro but cant get there! It would have been amazing on my birthday as well!

I'll try and catch them another time!

 

[Laura M]

They are doing loads of place sin germany and stuff

I think they came to belfast first this year I was right at the front

Last time I had bad seats and the woman beside us wouldnt let us enjoy ourselevs

This year I got to stand

I like this thread. "The Man Who + headphones = ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..imho

well not exactly press-ups, more that he stays flexed. What happens towards the end is the key I think. He wants to render assistance, but he has used all his energy in perhaps a needless way. I think it says that energy is finite and precious and we should use it wisely.
And it's where I got one of my quotable quotes from
"don't question my chi man"

there is so much musically going on that I like about this album,and I love the timbre in Fran's voice...so warm
I can't wait to get the new album.

Are they coming here to Australia?

me too! this album really grows on you.

 

[Swan269]

Travis's new album is very very good. Reoffender, How Many Hearts, and Love will come Through are awesome. Sad Songs is very delicate and beautiful, kind of like fine china.

 

[Laura M]

He really reminds me of Bono in 12 memories or maybe thats just me

 

[Sweet Tart]

11 more days and i finally get to see them live.

really like the new album too. esp. beautiful occupation.

Here's the new album in streaming audio:

It's pretty good, though a lot different. I think it's because they didn't hire Nigel Godrich for this one...gives it a different sound. Sounds more like Good Feeling (their first album) more than any other since then.

yeah, it's a darker more brooding album but I absolutely have fallen in love with it. it grows on you afetr a few spins. every song has a beautiful flow to it.
