I will be right by you / Where You Stand

A confession first: I personally think that Travis never anywhere near as good as were on the album about "The Man Who". When she then, and all the other girls and boys the question written on my body, why it always has to even just standing in the rain. Of course, were (and are) we driftwood in the river of life. Then they came up with its proposal to, but just to sing and put flowers in the window, which I was already suspicious. Harmony bliss can quickly become boring.
But now they are (again) there, and that's very nice that way. First alarm because of whistles in song number three, that's not a good sign for Popp slats. But then turns out to be "Reminder" very pretty Preziose. The single "Where You Stand" is simply magical. Just as refined in the melody that at all catchiness but will not get bored. "New Shoes" can resonate Blur, "Warning Sign" reminds me of "Let It Be Me" by the Everly Brothers. "Moving" has great verses, the chorus is missing somehow the sophistication. In addition to the theme song belong to me "Mother" and "boxes" of the strongest songs. First opens the album promising and multi-layered, last is charming in its simplicity. On the (sorry :) Gegreine of "The Big Screen", I can do without, even if the end is atmospheric. Taken overall, the album by listening well, without the songs seem arbitrary.
The bonus tracks are okay, "Anniversary" has a little country twang, "Parallel Lines" is a typical catchy Travis song.
A reliable friend, this Fran Healy who returns with his combo at the right time. All together now: "I forfeit my TIIIIIMe ..."
