Review title: Invisible Band soon
Product review: Travis will be an invisible band if this album is any indication of their future. This albums is a mediocre offering from a band who have had two stellar albums to date.I've seen Travis in concert and am a big fan of the band, but Invisible Band lacks the raw energy of their first album or the sonic depth of the second.Rarely do you hear the electric guitar over the acoustic. The lyrics lack the poinancy of Why Does it Always Rain on Me.This album is vanilla. Every track is like the last and the band never shows the energy that these youths have in them.How would I describe it? "[junk] rock?"..."No, not quite"..."Wuss rock?"..."That's it." (apologies to the Simpsons)If I had to guess, I would say that Travis is trying to take advantage of the Boy Band craze. Pipe Dreams has the most potential of any of the tracks...a Leonard Cohenesque song, but where the track could really have some punch like XTC's "Dear God", it pulls back and ruts in cliches and the same old crap.
