ALBUM REVIEW: TRAVIS - Ode To J Smith


TRAVIS
Ode To J Smith
(Red Telephone Box)
2/5

We are informed that this is Travis’ loudest, edgiest and most arresting record since their debut. Christ knows what planet they’ve been on for the last few years to even begin to use such epithets when describing an album that limps out of the speakers so unassumingly you half expect it to apologise for the inconvenience. Still, it’s loveable ol’ Fran Healy. You can’t knock a guy who means well, can you? I guess ‘Something Anything’ is quite punchy. I’ll let him have that one.
