The 1999'er album of Scots around vocalist Fran Healy has long since become a modern classic. Rightly so, because the board offers relaxed, dreamy and pensive tunes of the special class. It is clear that of course not all the 10 songs on "The Man Who" the potential of "Driftwood" or the great "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" possess. Still no title falls on unpleasant or is much weaker than the rest. This fact ensures that the entire plate is very homogeneous. Certainly provide Travis with this album is not necessarily the soundtrack for a rollicking summer party, but make their rather melancholy and contemplative pop songs for the perfect accompaniment in the quieter hours of life. In those same one will gladly engage in any case repeatedly to this timeless and beautiful plate. Incidentally, after the end of "Slide Show" not rashly turn off the CD player, because after a few minutes of silence followed by a still strong, unfamiliar rocking for this album Hidden Track. ****
