About
Despite being critisized as a more subdued album, less exuberant than it's predecessor. Travis was still able to maintain their personal style on their music and still stoo afloat enough to release this album. The album lets you drift away to a gloomy, melancholic world reminiscent of Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohaead. The album has been called by critics as one of the best British records of that year.
