haha you really don't like 'Get Up' do you hehe I really like 'Get Up', each to their own tho :-D it would be boring if we all liked the same songs. I've got to say I really like 'The Sea' reminds me abit of Elbow.
No, i do like Get Up but it shouldn't be on the album. I said i don't dislike any album track. It's catchy, it's ok but it's nowhere near good enough to be on the album. Extremely repetitive. Just look at the lyrics in the booklet. I think Tail Of The Tiger "is really good" like i said and is a lot better than Get Up.
I love Elbow. :) |

Even tho I really like 'Get Up' I do agree it should have been replaced with either 'Sarah' or 'Tail of the Tiger'. 'Sarah' is so good it's absolutely crazy it's not on the album! Elbow are amazing :-D every album they've done is great and they're amazing live too! |

I think all 3 would work and be better than Get Up though my vote would be Used To Belong. Ode's b-sides could be the best lot of b-sides for an album yet! :) Though saying that, they did have 21 b-sides for Good Feeling. lol Point being, i'm sure there are 6 GREAT ones in there somewhere. :)
Never seen them live. I had a chance to see them here in Leicester next month but i can't make it. Was so disappointed. I have all 4 of there albums. Got numbers 3 and 4 a few months before all the hype with their Mercury Music Prize win. Loved both, glad they won. Only recently got albums 1 and 2 and i've hardly listened to them yet. But i'm sure they'll be great. :) |

The first two albums are their best. I think they should have won a Mercury years ago so I was made up they finally got some recognision this year :-D. I've seen Elbow 5 times, they get better each time I see them. I've got my fingers crossed you get to see them, you won't be disappointed when you do.
Anyway, back to Travis hahaha I'm hoping for a B-sides album to be released in the future. There's so many great B sides Travis have recorded, it would be great to have them all on one CD. |

Was Chances a real song then? lol.
I remember people talking about it but I didn't know it had been released...
As for my favourite unpopular song... Maybe Under The Moonlight. I love KT Tunstall's backing vocals.
Or Eyes Wide Open. |

The initial project was to have 4 CDs with all the b-sides released in a few months time, lol.
actually we would need at least 5 albums now! |

LOL You know the way I feel then with people liking The Sea. I'm like 'are we hearing the same song'. But it's funny because I think we both recognise why each other dislikes the song we dislike. I think you don't like the 'do do do do do' music on Used To Belong. LOL Is that right? And yet I think that sounds really great. :) It's seriously one of my favourite Travis songs. I mean, top 20. :) But they've done so many great songs I'd put loads as 'one of my favourites.'
Oh and I also really like You Bring Me Down. :)
You're absolutely right! LOL!!!
I think it's too cheesy.
And thehitcher (I don't know your name, sorry!), I agree. I think Tail Of The Tiger and Sarah are the best new b-sides so far.
When I listened to Used To Belong and Tail Of The Tiger I had already read everyone's comments here saying that Used To Belong was amazing and Tail Of The Tiger not so much, so I wasn't expecting to love Tail Of The Tiger and dislike Used To Belong :oP

the boy with a cryptic name Posted Wed 29 Oct, 2008 11:11 AM |
Right, there's a lot to reply to...
I really like The Sea, nice atmosphere.
I like Some Sad Song more than Walking Down The Hill,
haven't heard much love for it yet.
Luke, lol, found any staff yet :P
Ben, I wouldn't replace any of the TBWNN album tracks with b-sides, they're all pretty good but none of them sparkle like Tail of the Tiger for example. I don't think TOTT is as good, but it has more purpose in my opinion, and I come back to listen more often because of that.
Love Colder, it is a huge colourful blob on the predominantly beige TBWNN canvas. Like Out of Space too, I think it's bogged down by the other slow ones around it.
How about Sing? I adore it, quite possibly my favourite song in the world, but I know some of the long-term boardies on here aren't too keen.
Oh, Last Train! Love it less than I used to but still love it! |
