Good Feeling - Travis Reviews

Travis' reputation as strong, melodic songwriters that appealed to the MOR-buying public was formed on albums such as 'The Man Who' and 'The Invisible Band'. Prior to the breakthrough success achieved via 'The Man Who' (a terriffic album in its own right), Travis had much rawer indie-rock roots that made up the sound of debut album 'Good ...  Read the complete review

Ok, I'm writing about this album 11 years too late, but better late than never! Travis are a 4 piece indie rock band from Scotland, who have gained fame for their catchy lyrics and timeless tunes. "Good Feeling" was the debut album by the band, an album which I feel they have not yet topped. It is much heavier and rockier ...  Read the complete review

Here is a question for you; do you own the Man Who by Travis? I am sure most people have this particular CD in their collection as it sold by the bucket load. I have it but it is not my favcourtie Travis album. My favourite Travis album is their debut album Good Feeling, I always feel a little bit protective of Travis. I discovered them ...  Read the complete review

If somebody said to you "Travis", I'm sure most people would immediately think four Scottish lads singing slow, depressing, morbid songs. Well you would be right, they are, have been, and always will be four Scottish lads but have they always sung slow, depressing music? NO! Their first album - "Good Feeling" proves that ...  Read the complete review

This album is often overlooked by people, it's as though it's the first not the third album which is invisible. "Girls"? "Rock"? "Happy"? "Funny"? "Good Feeling"? Just looking at the titles shows that this isn't the Travis we all know and love. The album definately has a heavier ...  Read the complete review

The father of a very good friend of mine has a saying. Well, it's more of a factual statement, but that doesn't make it any less true. With regards to some old material of a certain band, he'll say – "That was when they were good." And it's quite often true – bands have a habit of trailing off later in their ...  Read the complete review

It think this is better than The Man Who. I bought the latter before it, and quite liked it so went in for this and I rate it more now. Why? Well it's a bit rawer, bit more rocky and a bit more FUN, in my op. The first half (roughly) is a full of rock songs such as 'Good Day To Die' and 'Midsummer's Night ...  Read the complete review

Having bought The Man Who... I, being someone who likes to be a completist, decided to buy "Good Feeling." In my opinion, it is a better album than it's sucessor. They seemed to have avoided the drone that typifies The Man Who and even manage to include some upbeat numbers, Happy and Tied to the 90's been just two ...  Read the complete review

I actually bought this after their second album, The Man Who, which was one of the best albums I have ever heard. This one is not quite so good but is still a good album in itself. In case you didn't know, Travis are an indie/rock band. This album is a bit heavier in sound than the mellower second album, and has some good songs, in ...  Read the complete review

This is the debut album from Travis before the incredibly successful The Man Who. On the first listen you can be forgiven that it's a dodgy debut album especially if you're used to The Man Who. But if you bear with it you are rewarded with a different view of Travis and some great tracks. The music here is a little less ...  Read the complete review

My fiancée & I both like Travis. Recently she brought this album as part of a buy 5 for £30 deal. I'm probably going to get lynched by all of you Travis fans out there, but this is one of the worst albums that I have had the misfortune to listen to for some time. The songs come across as the worst pub rock ever, no that's not fair, ...  Read the complete review

Travis first album "Good feeling" is not as good as everyone thought after listening their great second album "The Man Who". I think "Good feeling" is for the scottish band a not so good start and I'm really impressed with the results they managed afterwards. It's not really a bad album but ...  Read the complete review

I first got into Travis' music when "Good Feeling" came out, so naturally I prefer it to "The Man Who", purely for sentimental value. But as far as debut albums go, "Good Feeling" is sensational, and while the rest of the world is going crazy over "The Man Who"-era Travis, they are overlooking "Good ...  Read the complete review

Named not after Robert De Niro's equaliser in Taxi Driver but Harry Dean Stanton's drifter in Paris, Texas - a salient distinction - Travis were formed in Glasgow two years ago, during which time their anachronistic brand of part-bluster, part-hippy rock has clinched them a Sony publishing deal, first-band-signed honours with Andy ...  Read the complete review

Travis's debut album is a mixture of energetic rock combined with melancholy ballards. "Happy" makes you want to jump up and down whil screaming the lyrics at the top of your voice while the last three tracks slow down and become more emotional. The first track on the album; "All i want to do is rock" sums up the band and ...  Read the complete review

This debut album from Travis was said to be the "the most promising debut album since Definitely Maybe" but after seeing the way Oasis are beginning to slide will Travis share their fate? Indeed have they burnt out too soon? You could be forgiven for thinking that they had as this is a truly special album. Tracks such as All I wanna do ...  Read the complete review

After hearing Travis' second album, the much acclaimed 'The Man Who', I bought this album thinking it would be similar. However, their debut album is far more upbeat, with only the ending to the album containing a downbeat mood. The album starts off with the group's customary gig opener, All I Want To Do Is Rock, and this ...  Read the complete review

Good Feeling is very different to The Man Who, the album which most people would have heard first. The Emphasis here is more on rock, but often does well. Although the songs are often a bit too similar, there are some decent tracks here. U16 Girls and Happy are my favourite two, although all of the tracks are fairly decent. However, ...  Read the complete review

I got the Man who 1st of all and thought that that was such a good album i must get a good feeling and I was by no means dissapointed. It is a little more heavier (less mellow) than the man who, but there are some great songs on there, U16 girls, all i wanna do is rock, tied to the niently's and good feeling. I would seriously recommend buying ...  Read the complete review

I thought Auberge by Chris Rea was a crap album but that's before I heard this. Now, the reason I bought this was because The Man Who is a nice album and totally inoffensive apart from i'm getting sick to the back teeth of hearing it now. So, I presumed Good Feeling would be worth having. It isn't. It's shouty, tuneless and totally ...  Read the complete review
