    Wreckorder fluctuates between orchestral and acoustic. Healy changes his tone and style from song to song without a hint of disparity. [Fall 2010, p.61]

    Sure, the sound is still post-Britpop, but Fran Healy isn't turning any corners or wrecking any orders here. However, the effortless craftsmanship and wide range on Wreckorder's ten tracks somehow work to perfection.

    Wreckorder is the sound of a songwriter firmly embodying the spirit of Britpop and testing himself. "Sing Me To Sleep," and "As It Comes," also point towards signs of maturation that were never seen in the Travis back catalog.
