Travis is probably the only band from the I own all the albums with full conviction. And not without reason that, as has been proved once again yesterday. Ode To J. Smith is indeed very, very different - but perhaps because of it even better. Skepticism, Travis would now also on the "We must be interesting!" - Coming trip as Coldplay, has not materialized. Why? Because this album is true here. Recorded live, you can hear the details of guitars and Fran Healy is with his singing to the listener's ear closer than, say, 20 cm. In better way can not be well this typical English Rockige from debut "Good Feeling" with the lifting capacity and span of "The Man Who" 's link. For the autumn and the coming years the most best possible accompaniment.
Thank Travis, for the courage to try and even the hinzukriegen prima!
