It is easily one of the most Iconic albums ever made. The first song I ever heard from the record was Driftwood, and as the song title goes .you just go with the flow. I heard in a shopping arcade for the first time in thier home city of Glasgow, managed to find out who the band were I purchased it shortly afterwards. From the grungy type opener "writing to reach you" to the last song "slide show" every song is a musical masterpiece "turn" just blows your ears away with immaculate vocals, and the genuinely unforgetable "why does it allways rain on me" A true gem that should be in every music lovers record collection

Strange title for this Album.... but Travis are one of the greatest overlooked bands of any time. This four piece band hail from Glasgow and really are only known for their one song 'Why does it always rain on me', which is a crying shame as this band are first class and seriously don't deserve to be overlooked. This Album 'The man who' has the 'Why does it always rain on me' track plus 9 other excellent tracks. Described as Brit Pop or Indie again is not necessary. They are just a first rate, outstanding four piece band who deserve better recognition. I really don't know why this band isn't an 'household name' at least as big as Oasis. Lets get down to the Album... first track 'Writing to reach you' is probably 'A' typical of Travis. Great lyrics, great sound, and vocally excellent. 'The fear' is second track here and vocally excellent. Next up is 'As you are' vocally and sound wise is a cross between Oasis, Radiohead and Coldplay... but again such a great track. Some might say slightly depressing at the start but listen to the lead guitar playing on this one. Tracks continue with 'Driftwood', The last Laugh of the Laughter', 'Turn', Why does it always rain on me' , 'Luv', 'She's so strange' and finally 'Slide show'. 'Driftwood' is much more up tempo whereas 'Why does it always rain on me' is commercially "catchy", however for me 'Slide show' (even with the car door slamming and ignition key turning) is my personal favourite. If you don't know Travis or have heard 'Why does it always rain on me' and liked it then it is time you listened to more of this band. Another of their albums is called 'The invisible band' (my favourite album of theirs) and the title is so apt for this band. They are almost invisible and certainly haven't had the recognition they deserve. TRAVIS is a great band and your music collection is lacking without them.... that is how much I believe in this band. Buy 'The invisible band', 'The man who' or 'Good feeling' or all of their albums now.Read full review
My first visit to Travis as this music generally does not interest me. Was intrigued by the title and bid and got a very good price so far OK. Interesting lyrics etc but too bland for me, and does not have enough distinctiveness to be more than average.
Sheer Brilliance out of all the travis albums this was by far the best i love it every track is great.
