This one was kind of a victim of it's own success at the time, I remember...

...With a lot of people - who initially appreciated, and acknowledged how good it was - growing rapidly tired of it, and eventually dismissing it, and to a large extent, Travis themselves.

Another case, perhaps, of being oversold, and getting too much airplay, until people found it annoying... Rather like Alanis Morrisette's: Jagged Little Pill album, or Moby's: Play.

Which is a shame, because this has a lot more going on it than simply being a great collection of consistently strong pop tunes. These fantastic tunes you can 'um, actually only serve to deliver a rather melancholic tone, and subject matter, which is a contrast that actually works really well when writers of pop song do it.

Indeed... music for me at least, is best when recognising that actually, everything ain't awesome (something that seems to have escaped most writers of late), and as well as the big, anthemic: Turn (perhaps a little overdone), the brilliant: Driftwood, and the marvellous, miserable-ist pub sing-along: Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, the opening track: Writing To Reach You, and the Glacial: The Fear, make a brilliant album for those of a natural melancholic disposition to spend an hour or so with.

This, for me, is what indie pop music ought to be.

...Time to dig it out again and give it another listen.
