 A Quiet Breakthrough Oct 30, 2009
"The Man Who" was Travis big breakthough album, containing no less than 4 top twenty singles; quite impressing! The album itself made it to the number one spot, after a slow start in the charts.
All singles are good, but my favourites are "Turn" and "Driftwood". The album as a whole is less rocking than the debut; in fact it is a rather quiet album.
Among the album-tracks songs like "As You Are", "The Last Laugh of the Laughter" and "Slide Show" are likely to grow on you.
I know many fans disagree on this, but I still find "12 Memories" and "The Boy With No Name" more interesting albums.

 Bleh. Jun 08, 2009
I guess if you like the sounds of Keane you might like this album. I liked their single, "Sing", from the Invisible Band, so I figured why not try a complete album? However I'm very bored with this cd. Coldplay is more my cup of tea. This is much too sleepy and not pretty enough to be interesting.

Some of the Brit-pop & alternative act's most reliable work, with a track-by-track compositional consistency that puts apathetic future work to shame.
A Late Review from a New Fan Dec 17, 2008
I've known about this band all along but somehow I've failed (miserably!) to feel their full impact until very recently, probably some sort of auditory ADD, or maybe there's just too much out there for me to keep up. Listening to Travis' catalog and reading some of the other fans' great reviews, I'm not surprised by the comparisons to Radiohead, Coldplay and Keane. I could almost swear that Keane's Tom Chaplin's vocal cords were cloned from Fran Healy, whose beautiful, passionate vocals make this album really soar. The truth is, comparisons are neither necessary nor particularly fair; Travis stands alone, with melodies that are pure magic, featuring a bright, vibrant guitar and powerful but not overpowering bass and rhythms. The production on this 1999 release reveals a band that clearly has a sense of their strengths and their musical mission. Whether cranking it for the pleasure of having great music fill your world, or sitting in a dark room to contemplate the often touching lyrics, Travis fills the bill. Two particular stand-outs for me are the pretty, plaintive, "Writing to Reach You," and "Why Does It Always Rain on Me," which may be the best representation of what this release has to offer throughout. And somehow you just cannot help but feel for the guy's aching heart when he sings, "I can't sleep tonight/Everybody saying everything's alright/Still I can't close my eyes/...Where have you gone?/I get the strangest feeling you belong" Well, one never knows, maybe the music will bring her back...
