#17 – Travis: Ode to J. Smith

Not surprisingly, its 11 songs bristle with an urgency that more closely resembles (but rocks harder than) Travis’ 1997 debut “Good Feeling” than 2007′s sumptuously crafted “The Boy With No Name,” with a decidedly uptempo countenance and plenty of room for lead guitarist Andy Dunlop’s riffs, solos and fills. – Billboard

Where that Travis pointed a way out of Britpop, this one seeks the comfort of how guitar bands sounded before then, the bristling energy recalling early REM, the Chills and even occasionally Nirvana. – The Guardian

Apparently the band’s sixth studio album is their first to be written from electric guitar since their debut Good Feeling, and this shows strongly in the end result. – musicOMH.com
