Title: looked good on paper...
Product review: i bought this because it sounded like it would be great - however, on listening, i was amazed at how bland it sounded. everything about this record is just 'ok', as in C or C+. it's like belle and sebastian - without the irony. it's like the housemartins - with no edginess. it's like radiohead - without the depth.i think that travis are kind of a 'light' version of all their influences that might be perfect for for the 11-17 year old audience who are still impressed by cute blue-eyed men, or as a stepping stone away from boy groups and girl groups up to the next level of pop music.they have some talent in the song writing and playing department and they may actually produce some good music in the future. unfortunately, this just isn't it.
