Teletext 8 out of 10 for "Ode To J. Smith"

Teletext give the new Travis album a glowing review;

"For once, "We're putting it out on our own label" means an artistic rebirth.

Only those who've seen Travis live - where the album versions turn into rock behemoths - will know what to expect.

Flitting joyfully between gonzo rock opera (no, really), Silver Sun shining power-pop and their Good Feeling debut, it's a joyous racket. Always better as underdogs, it's a band whose only link to their past is great melodies. 8/10"
