Man Who Built America, The - Horslips

Th man who

Advantages: quite calming
Disadvantages: goes on & on & on & on &...etc.

At last, a decent band in the charts!!!. The album, The Man Who is the 2nd album by Travis, who were discovered with the single Why Does It Always Rain On Me which stormed the charts. This isn't their first album though, they also had the undiscovered album Good Feeling. From The Man Who they also released Driftwood, Turn and Writing To Reach You as singles.

Review of Man Who, The - Travis

The Man Who

Advantages: Great selection of tracks
Disadvantages: None!

With all the hype surrounding this album, I decided that it was time to add 'The Man Who' to my ever-growing album collection, and there is no doubt that this ranks as one of the best of them.

If 'Travis' can release an album half as good as this, I'll be rushing out to buy it. Buy this album immediately! ...

Review of Man Who, The - Travis

The Man Who

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Travis are one of the most talented groups around today. They play all their own instruments and even perform live, which is rare now a days. Their album ?The Man Who? is packed full of the classics that are associated with the group, such as ?why does it always rain on me?, ?driftwood?, ?writing to reach you? and ?turn?. If you are looking to expand your music collection and are a fan or indie / light rock then has to be the perfect album for you. It is very mellow and easy listening ...
