Everything at once

"Over the span of almost three decades, Scottish indie rock stalwarts Travis have persevered, both holding faithful to the sound that they helped break into the U.K. mainstream in the '90s and rocking long enough to watch their sonic progeny spread their wings and fly off in various artistic directions (see: Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol) ... Everything at Once is their liveliest and most lighthearted effort to date, a celebration of both their legacy and their maturity".

"Travis make successful, sometimes truly special, pop music. The time for judging them against `serious' or `real' or whatever the self-consciously backward arbiters of desperate notions of authentic masculinity are calling lumpen rock music these days is over. If you sometimes need to reach for songs that make you smile, that deliver adrenaline or emotional balm, then you could do an awful lot worse than `Everything At Once'".
