Title: THE MAN WHO...(finds travis to be overrated)
Product review: It's hard to figure out why Travis are such a hyped up band. The first song I heard was their cover of "hit me baby one more time", which I found pretty good actually, and bit comical as well. Unfortunately, their own material soon started whistling past my ears on the radio. Songs like "Turn" and the exceptionally bad, britpop-ish and slow "why does it always rain on me". About a week ago I heard their album, and I do believe I tried listening to it without my recent britpop prejudice (can anyone blame me?). But what I heard, was probably one of the most overrated recordings in years. Travis are basically as unoriginal as it can get, plus they sound phenomenally alike all a the other hyped up british bands around these days (for example the band with the parachutes album). I think this is quite a shame really, because if Travis had a little "soul", their music could easily work. But this is simply mediocre pop music at its worst. To be avoided!
