Well, I'm a little confused, will be My eyes or Battleships?
I love both songs, but I'D prefer My Eyes... ")

They should definitely release 4 singles, maybe 5. They need to get their name back out there. Closer, Selfish Jean, My Eyes, Battleships.... Colder?

Big Chair is very good but i don't think its a song thats going to put Travis back to the top. They need to release songs like My Eyes.

My Eyes would appeal to the same market that tried and then tired of Travis, as a collective group. It would have fitted perfectly on The Invisible Band, it's just that sound. Big Chair is different from the classic "Travis" sound and so might appeal to a different market?

I heard "My Eyes" long before "Selfish Jean" on the radio!

They moved away from classic Travis before with 12 Memories... mmm ... very successful time for the band. They need to get that classic Travis back. People haven't tired of Travis, they just need to realise that the Travis they loved are back! Big Chair isn't going to do that. Travis were loved by a lot of people. They don't need to attract new fans, not yet anyway. Get those old fans back first. My Eyes, Selfish Jean, Battleships and Colder can do that.

12 Memories, in all seriousness, wasn't drastically different from the 'classic' Travis sound. Songs like How Many Hearts, Love Will Come Through, Quicksand and Somewhere Else still had the same sort of sound to them. Big Chair is a completely different sound all together!

I do agree with you in part, but a lot of the people who "loved" Travis might have been fickle and just into them because they were big at the time. So in that case, then they won't get those fans back- because bands like The Killers, Kasabian and Razorlight (ie. the "big" commercial bands of the moment) have taken them and hold their attention

Well, 12 Memories was different. I don't think i agree with you although i do understand what you're saying. Read the reviews on iTunes and over places over the Net. A lot of people who aren't as a big a fans as we are are saying "wow, didn't expect this. After the 'dreadful' 12 Memories, Travis are back!" Its not because of the quality of songs (well, party of course) but because 12 Memories wasn't Travis. My Eyes is the Travis people loved. Release My Eyes, Battleships and Colder. They'll start to get those Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol fans back.
