Pros: Pat Monahan's soulful, gritty vocals. Cons: May be a little too subdued for some.
The band Train’s roots can be traced back to California. However, their music doesn’t recall the 70’s sunny California pop of The Eagles or Fleetwood Mac. Instead, the band positions itself as more of a poppy version of the Black Crowes. Lead singer Pat...
Pros: Title Track, Occasionally the lyrics, instruments Cons: Repetitive themes, Unimaginative vocals, Musically simple
Allow me to begin my review with my personal history of Train. "Drops of Jupiter" was the first whole Train album I heard. However, the single "Meet Virginia" was the defining moment, THE song that killed my love of narrative music. It tried vastly...
Pros: All good songs with great vocals. Cons: Might be a bit country-sounding for some.
Happy anniversary to me! I haven't written a review in a while, so I thought today was the day I should get back at the keyboard. I do believe I am rusty. Bear with me, please.
I bought this cd last summer, and I still have it as one of the...
Pros: A rootsy Southern Rock album that isn't trying too hard to be "pop". Cons: Some songs sound strangely subdued; lead single is misleading concerning the band's style.
Have you ever been so mesmerized by a song you heard on the radio, or saw a band perform on TV, that you just had to have that CD this instant, regardless of what the other songs were like? Normally, I would label that an extremely rash and...
Pros: Inventive arrangements with lyrical insight into male vulnerability?! Cons: A downcast tone throughout. Some sameness in thought.
Train Left the Station
Three years after the success of their first self-titled album San Francisco-area Train has returned with Drops of Jupiter produced by Brendan O’Brien. After the success garnered with songs like "Meet...
I'm still amazed that Train has been so successful with their sophomore effort Drops of Jupiter. I've always been impressed with their strange position in the pop/rock world. They are not a flavor of the month boy band trying to knock...
Pros: The arrangement, instrumental arrangement, a couple nice power ballads, and more. Cons: Some not so hot songs that just get annoying and a bit of conformity.
No one can deny it, Drops of Jupiter was an incredible song. Sure, it got played out, but it ...
Pros: some great songs, some very good songs Cons: they just don't let loose enough!
Back in 1999, Train emerged on top 40 and adult alternative radio with Meet Virginia, a song that drove me absolutely and completely nuts. It seemed like every time I put the radio on and started flipping stations looking for something...
Pros: Lyrics are easy to follow and understand, and you can place yourself there with them Cons: Music has a country twang instead of a true light rock sound
If men are from Venus, and women are from Mars, then how come she took a visit to Jupiter? If you are wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about the song Drops Of Jupiter off of the Album ”Drops Of Jupiter” from the musical group...
Yes, I finally got the album. I kept on hearing that song... but what was that song! I know I drove a few of you on Epinions crazy with my obsession of trying to locate the artist of "that song". I just couldn't figure it out. I kept on hearing it...
Pros: "Drops Of Jupiter". Album shows variety. Cons: A strong country feel that may not suit all tastes.
I first became aware of Train with the release of “Meet Virginia” a few years ago. While it was a song that I enjoyed, I soon grew tired of the sound, perhaps because the track was overplayed on the radio. But with the release of “Drops Of Jupiter”,...
Pros: Great Choruses, Singer Pat Monahan's Fantastic Voice
Cons: "Drops of Jupiter" Gets Played Too Damn Much!
Given that Train is currently everywhere at once on the radio with their newest single, “Drops of Jupiter,” anything I write here will be read with a little bit of annoyance at the over-indulgence of pop music, and its tendency to make beautiful things...
Pros: Strong sophomore effort, wonderful orchestration and arrangements Cons: Can be a tad too country at times
I actually became acquainted with Train's music a couple of years ago quite by accident (no pun intended). The radio station that I was listening to at the time was not playing "Meet Virginia", Train's first real breakout hit on the airwaves from their...
Pros: Slick kind of rock music. Not that adventurous, but not too roots-rock based either Cons: Some will say their sound blends, and they'd be right
To be honest, I hadn't heard of Train, their debut album, or "Meet Virginia" until I heard of "Drops of Jupiter." The first album is very bland, moreso than this latest offering into the annals of rock and roll. Train doesn't stand out much, except for...
