What can one say? It's music; it's subjective. I liked some songs, didn't connect with others. Like poetry, we come to music with various needs. The songs either satisfy us or they don't. The only way to know if it's what you need... is to listen....
 My favorite Train CD Mar 17, 2008
This is my favorite CD from Train. It strikes the balance between solid tracks from top to bottom and having a couple of "radio friendly" hits. The first six tracks are as strong as any front six on any cd put out in the past couple of years and there isn't a song on the disc that feels like it doesn't belong there.
Definitely a good listen. Feb 26, 2007
Starting out with the one two punch of "Calling All Angels" and "All American Girl" was interesting. I was waiting to see if the band could match the energy and sheer tuneful nature of these two cuts. I found myself impressed because the band maintains the quality throughout. I think the band was finding their footing after the uneven nature of DROPS OF JUPITER. There are a number of good cuts here from the edgy title cut to the plaintive "Lincoln Avenue" there is a maturity here and it is appreciated. I still think the lyrics are still a bit simplistic, there is no mystery everything is spelled out a bit too clearly, but this is definitely a good listen.

 3 stars is actually VERY good... Oct 19, 2006
Personally I like to compare music on a larger scale, from band to band and generation to generation...it makes no sense to me to rate a band against itself within it's own catalog. That being said, if an album like Led Zep's "Stairway to Heaven" gets 5 stars, you should be able to appreciate the 3 star rating here.
Train is a very unique band with a southern flair that sports respectable talent and enjoyable creative/energy. The commercial stuff on this album will appeal to most and (that alone) can justify purchasing this CD. For some of us, like myself, however, there's much more enjoyment to be had. For instance, my favorite song on this CD is "Save the Day" - it's fun/upbeat, it's very clever in using analogies (the lyrics are great if you "get it"), and it's a very different and unique sound that shows "personality". "Calling All Angels" on the other hand, in my ears, is a very boring song that I usually skip past. Go figure.
In short, if you like what you heard on the radio from Train, you will really enjoy this CD - one song or another.
