Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
このトラヴィスの最新作とレディオヘッドとを比べたくないのはやまやまだが、それでも類似点を上げずにはいられない。もちろん、本作は独立した1枚のアルバムとしても十分にすばらしく、単純な比較は本作を安っぽくする恐れがある。けれども、まねるということは最も心のこもった称賛でもあるのだから、本作はレディオヘッドを上機嫌にさせるはずだ。
このグラスゴー出身のグループは、レディオヘッドと同じ苦悩する魂を呼び起こしているが、『OK Computer』を不穏で難解なアルバムにしているジョージ・オーウェルにインスパイアされたトーンはどこにもない。トラヴィスのシンガーのフラン・ヒーリーは、熱狂を抑えながらも怒りをこめたトム・ヨーク流のスタイルで、神経をとがらせたり心を高揚させたりさせている。
音楽面でも、心が舞い上がらんばかりの瞬間がある。繰り返されるすてきなリズムと軽快なボーカルによる「Driftwood」では、ジェームズの歌と同じくらい浮かれ騒ぎ、シタール調の「The Last Laugh of the Laughter」は、あまりに甘く悲しく、センチメンタルな気分よりも美しさが上回っている。「Why Does It Always Rain on Me」は偉大な名曲の高なるサウンドをもとに作られている（実際、何気ない皮肉がトラビィスにぴったりな「Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head」と同じダウンビートで進む）。
本作は、この英国のロックバンドの出世作であり、絶対のおすすめ盤だ。（Beth Massa, Amazon.com）
From Amazon.co.uk
The ultimate slow-burner, Travis's second album infused its way into the psyche of post-Radiohead Britain with an endearingly humble grace. It's not quite certain how Travis went from being the happy-clappy Britpop also-rans of their debut Good Feeling to becoming the gifted pop craftsmen that moulded the gentle emotional trough of the chart-topping The Man Who, but it would seem that the tired, lonely lovelorn niche is one that suits Travis rather well. So, "Writing To Reach You", "Driftwood" and "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" are the meekest songs to ever eat daytime radio alive. Elsewhere, "As You Are" sounds like Thom Yorke swaddled in blankets, and the closing "Slide Show" punctures rock mythology with an impossibly beautiful lyric: "There is no design for life/ There's no devil's haircut in my mind/ There is not a wonderwall to climb, or step around". --Louis Pattison
