 This, beside a greater willingness to engage with the American press and fans, may have helped some of them in achieving international success.Post-Britpop bands have been seen as presenting the image of the rock star as an ordinary person and their increasingly melodic music was criticised for being bland or derivative.Post-Britpop bands like Travis from "The Man Who" (1999), Stereophonics from "Performance and Cocktails" (1999), Feeder from "Echo Park" (2001), and particularly Coldplay from their debut album "Parachutes" (2000), achieved much wider international success than most of the Britpop groups that had preceded them, and were some of the most commercially successful acts of the late 1990s and early 2000s, arguably providing a launchpad for the subsequent garage rock or post-punk revival, which has also been seen as a reaction to their introspective brand of rock.
