...At last, a decent band in the charts!!!. The album, The ManWho is the 2nd album by Travis, who were discovered with the single Why Does It Always Rain On Me which stormed the charts. This isn't their first album though, they also had the undiscovered album Good Feeling. From The ManWho they also released Driftwood, Turn and Writing To Reach You as singles. When released in '99, this album won many awards and was a massive sucsess in the charts. I really like this album as its not as cheesy as so much of the songs that enter the charts, and unlike other bands I like such as Slipknot and KoRn, Travis are liked and listenable to by my parents. I got the album at Chirstmas, and have almost worn it out listening ot it so much. The songs contained in this one ar quite mixed, even thought the voice tends to drone on and on in the sam...

Advantages: Really funny, feel-good film Disadvantages: None that i can think of..!
...I recently purchased this DVD after one of my friend's made me watch her copy, because I loved it so much!
The plot is based on Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, but is a more modern version with slight changes, obviously! The main character Viola (Amanda Bynes) is desperate to prove she is a good football player after being told she cannot join her school team because she is female. She plots to disguise herself as her twin brother Sebastian and take his place at his new school (whilst he is away with his band) to prove her football skills. She manages to convince everyone she is male (albeit a slightly odd one) - even popular girl Olivia gets a crush on her/him. Viola, however, has fallen for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum :P ), who has been helping her with her football, but she cannot reveal this due to her disguise. All in all...

Advantages: Great selection of tracks Disadvantages: None!
...With all the hype surrounding this album, I decided that it was time to add 'The ManWho' to my ever-growing album collection, and there is no doubt that this ranks as one of the best of them. 'Travis' who? is what we were all asking early last year, and then this...a real master-piece, setting the Indie music scene alight. All of the tracks are brilliant without exception, but the best tracks are 'Driftwood' and 'Writing to Reach You,' and even the 'hidden' track 'Blue Flashing Light' is mightily impressive, written about Fran's relationship with his father. If 'Travis' can release an album half as good as this, I'll be rushing out to buy it. Buy this album immediately!...
