Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Over the last six years or so, Travis have produced some fine pop songs, bringing great tunes back to the UK Top 40. And though not an innovative band nor a radical rock outfit, they have become the kings of the soft-rock-tinged pop song.

Middle of the road they may well be but, as these 17 ditties illustrate, they can sure get that toe tapping. With their sing-a-long melodies and their catchy hooks, it is little wonder that they have proved to be a refreshing alternative for the 25+ers to the bubble-gum pop of the kind that Robbie Williams makes. All the hits are here, from "Driftwood" (one of their first Top 40 successes) to the new offering (and new single) "Walking in the Sun". With this new recording, Travis have stuck to the same radio-friendly, laid-back, acoustic rock that has been extremely good to them over the years; and why not? The track is likely to become a summer festival favourite for the group, constantly being requested by crowds at Glastonbury or Reading. Such gems as "Flowers in the Window" and "Writing to Reach You" are also present, as a reminder of why the band have been so commercially successful. Long may Travis reign as kings of the soft-rock pop song. --Jamie Clark




Rating: - great
i bought this for my dad for christmas (not in a bad way!) and he's loving it. I bought it for him because i cant drive and if i have to be stuck in HIS car listening to HIS cds while he takes me somewhere then it's just excellent then we both get something to sing along to.

Rating: - BRILL BAND
Travis are one of my favourite bands simply because of their simplicity. There isnt really nothing that original or spectacular about the music or lyrics of Travis' songs, but they are all great sing alongs with good melodys that are easy to chill out to.
I have given this album 4 stars purely because I am not a fan of ALL of the whole tracklisting. However, there are some classics such as Sing, Turn and my personal favourite, Driftwood.
All in all, a great collection of Travis' hits ... Read More

Rating: - Brilliant
One of my friends bought this for me, although i hadn't really heard much of Travis i imstantly loved it. 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' 'Driftwood' and 'Writing To Reach You' are brilliant songs, every song is great though. Well worth buying.

Rating: - Possibly the greatest rock album ever recorded
The eagerly anticipated greatest hits package from Scots rockers Travis was released in October 2004, and although it enjoyed a fair run on the UK album chart and reached a top position of no. 4, "Singles" unfortunately did not receive the recognition it deserves in my opinion. It brings together all of the Glaswegian group's best work from their four hugely successful studio albums - their solid debut "Good Feeling" from 1997, the groundbreaking "The Man Who", which was the biggest selling British ...

Rating: - Pulled down by the newer stuff
Travis have turned from a decent Indie band into a bland, irrelevant pop band in recent years. If you really want to pick up their best stuff, just buy the first 2 albums and leave the this, the dull 12 Memories and the frankly awful Invisible band well alone.
