| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews As much heat as Travis got for The Invisible Band not matching the charm of The Man Who, Travis is still good pop band. To imagine a world without them and their lovely and amusing songs would be a sad thing. It was almost reality for these four Scottish pals. Their fourth album 12 Memories might have never been if drummer Neil Primrose hadn't survived a tragic dive while vacationing in France in summer 2002. Primrose sustained a spinal injury in a pool accident and thankfully the odds were good. and Primrose went through surgery without any complications. There was that split second, though, where Fran Healy, Dougie Payne and Andy Dunlop thought Travis was done. 12 Memories is a dark reflection of that time, not to mention a heavy soundscape looking at violence as whole that stems from a post-September 11th way of life. 12 Memories is Travis' most mature album, their most explicit and also their most somber and fans are looking for them to resort back to the blazing riffs of "All I Wanna Do Is Rock" obviously didn't come of age with Travis as they should have. The world's a fragile place and Healy wants to talk about it. He's on his soapbox and instead of point a finger in disgust, he and Travis craft beautiful melodies that do just as much damage. From slagging off a media-obsessed America and their political regime on the jaunty, new-wave tinged "The Beautiful Occupation" to the soft piano-pounce of "How Many Hearts," 12 Memories flows without any preconceptions of what Travis released prior. They really don't care. What they care about is love and spreading it through song. Healy's look back at his Mum's spousal abuse on "Re-Offender" finds Travis' maintaining a sweet, basic rock sound and hitting you hard in the face. If you're able to appreciate the pleasure and point they bring as a whole, 12 Memories will be an fine listen. If you're hoping they took the Coldplay route, you're in the wrong place. - MacKenzie Wilson , All Music Guide |

Pros: Ah, more Travis, its a present for your ears
Cons: Not many americans know of this great band
Listen to the last song (walking donw a hill) on the new album, and you'll know that Travis ranks up there with such brit bands as Coldplay, heck they may even be better. Go see them live, and you'll know that these guys got talent. In this outing Fran becomes a bit political with songs Beautiful Occupation and Peace the F' out. The first 4 songs will blow you away, as well as songs 8, 10, and 11. The others tend to be a bit not to my taste, but my roommate loves them. If you9;ve never heard of this band, buy this album, or any of there other ones, you'll be a fan in no time. ...
