Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Invisible Band marks no major change in direction for Travis, but this is no bad thing. That Travis are the most simplistic of the post-Radiohead groups may not sound like the heartiest of compliments, but it undoubtedly accounts for their massive appeal. The Man Who became one of the most popular indie-rock records of the 1990s by virtue of its cheery accessibility and its way with a simple weather metaphor, and judging by the lyrics of "Side"--"The grass is always greener on the other side / The neighbor's got a new car that you wanna drive"--it's immediately obvious that come their third full-length album, Travis have figured out that their fans are not waiting for a brave sonic crusade. Which doesn't matter a bit, because The Invisible Band is such a natural, instantly lovable, and thoroughly unforced record, it seems completely churlish to knock it. The opening "Sing" sounds like, since their inception, all Travis have been missing is a banjo; the florid "Flowers in the Window" harks back to McCartney's finest Beatles compositions; and the synth-led "Humpty Dumpty Love Song" lays Travis's sentimental heart bare. "I'd pray to God if there were heaven," sings Fran Healy on "Pipe Dreams," "But heaven sounds so very far from here..." And that's exactly why Travis are so popular; they're the humble down-to-earth boys from next door, still singing the simplest songs, still making the mundane sound beautiful. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars フォーキーでノスタルジックなサウンドが堪能できます, 2005/8/30
このレビューの引用元: The Invisible Band (CD)
フォーキーでノスタルジックなサウンドが堪能できます。
感じとしてはビートルズの「ラバーソウル」、90年代UKだと
ザ・ラーズ、日本だとスピッツなんかが近いサウンドです。
アコースティックを使ったバンドだとアメリカでは60年代から多くいますが、あきらかにそれらとは違うサウンドに仕上がってます。
1.3.5.8.10曲目がお薦めです。買って損はないと思います。ただ、ダイナミックなロック・ナンバーは全くありません。

2.0 out of 5 stars 平凡, 2002/7/27
By 昭和激動期 - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
このレビューの引用元: The Invisible Band (CD)
シングルカットされたsingは本当に名曲です。
このプロモビデオもかなり出来がよく、しかも面白いです。
ケーキを投げつけあったり、笑えます。
ギター音もシンプルで良いです。

だけど、他の曲はどれも同じようなメロディー、歌詞も
日本語に置き換えてみたら、子供向け。

バンドとしてのレベルは高いと思うし大好きなバンドでもあるので

これからに期待したいです。
