so guys what will album 7 sound like? do we want a more rocky album like good feeling and ode to j.smith or do we want something like the man who again?
id like another album like ode to j.smith 12 memories type. love to hear more of andy letting rip. im sure it will sound as passionate and as touching as all the albums heve been so far |

| Bit early to be thinking about it and i'm sure my thoughts will change over the coming year. At the moment, more songs like Song To Self, Quite Free, Chinese Blues etc rather than Long Way Down, Something Anything, Get Up. :) So i suppose more of The Man Who/Invisible Band style but with a little more umph as those songs have. :) |

I absolutely agree.
Whatever comes to them naturally. |

| Think they've got it down to a T with OTJS. Maybe a little more rockier (a few tunes in the same vein as U16 Girls) with the same melodic genius of Writing To Reach You/Sing etc. Sure they won't let us down. I've never felt let down by a new Travis album yet so I can't see it starting any time soon :) |

och lets chew on the Ode for a while.
Once digested I'm ready for anything, I'll gobble it all up, whatever Travis is throwing at me! yummy :) |

| Well whatever comes naturally to them, it's bound to be good. Something I'd like to hear would be a few acoustic songs in the vein of 20 and Standing On My Own - really simple folky songs with great melody and rhythm. Or something that flows really nicely and oozes atmosphere, like Sarah and Used To Belong. So I guess maybe I'm leaning towards The Man Who, but then I would, it's my favourite album. Naturally I'd be happy with another rocker though. :) |

Agree with Ben. With my personal taste, I'd really rather less J.Smiths, Something Anythings, Get Ups, Long Way Downs etc because while they're perfectly good songs, they're just not what I've grown to see as Travis and not anything like as much to my taste. Comparing them to the stuff on The Man Who really doesn't do them any favours. 'Umph' is a good term, but not just in terms of loudness, in terms of emotional impact and that's where I find these pretty empty. It's not that there's something missing, it's that there's something just not there at all.
But, BUT - Last Words, Quite Free, BYWY, Chinese Blues etc are absolutely, e.x.a.c.t.l.y in my 'zone', more than anything off 12 Memories or TBWNN, even. More of this please.
And much as it's nice to have the 'story' of J.Smith, my personal opinion is that it's a bit of a strange, pointless gimmick that doesn't even really make an impression as the tracks are apparantly jumbled up so doesn't move through the 'story'. I liked it when the songs were personal, autobiographical, where you knew exactly what it was about.
But that's just my taste talking. Whatever, whenever - it'll be the highlight of my musical year still. |

"Play the hairy banjo, the banjo, the banjo..."
;)
By rights the next album should be a B-sides album, surely? |
