The way singles should be..........2004-06-18

"Green Behind the Ears" is a good pulsating rocker that also makes a good singalong song. "Only Molly Knows" (which wasn't a hidden track on my copy of "The Man Who") is a brillant acoustic endeavor that follows a unique song structure of repeating the name "Molly" twice in each verse. "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" sounds like a Beatles outtake, with Fran taking on the role of a "Helter Skelter"-esque Paul McCartney. Another great track. The last track, "High as a Kite," is also exceptional in its call-and-response chorus.

Believe me, even if you just own "The Man Who," if you ever come across this single, get it! A great single and four excellent b-sides! What more could you ask for?

A Bliss Pop CD Single.......2000-10-21

"Writing To Reach You" is a tribute of sorts to Oasis, with the references to "Wonderwall" in the lyrics, and a with this awesome guitar lick kicking off the song. "Green Behind The Ears" is a great up-tempo song. "Only Molly Knows" is Fran Healy solo (think "20") and one of the hidden tracks on the US version of "The Man Who". "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" is a hard rocking singalong, along the lines of "U16 Girls" of their "Good Feeling" album. "High As A Kite" starts of with the band members chatting "Get on with it" in their best Scottish accent and then romps, just pure rock!

Of all the CD singles from "The Man Who", this is the best. Not only does it boast 5 songs, of which 3 are totally new to US audiences, but it demonstrates Travis at its best. By all means, if you like Travis, buy this!

Not the place to start but still a good CD.......2000-10-28

"Writing to reach you" is a good song. It's one of those that ends up growing on you. I wasn't really sure I liked it until I caught myself humming it.

Travis has a fresher sound than most bands out there. Most of it unfortunately isn't going to be played on the radio (In the USA at least) so you should invest in at least one CD.

I give it three stars only because of the price, this is a five star song. It's just that for four dollars more you could have their full album--"The man who"

Any way, I say invest in Travis, they are worth it.
