antiReviews: Train – Drops of Jupiter
Review by antiGUY

Train – Drops of Jupiter
Label: Columbia Records
Rating: 

Tracks:
She's On Fire

Drops Of Jupiter
It's About You
Hopeless

Something More
Whipping Boy
Getaway
Mississippi

My first exposure to Train was hearing them do some incredible acoustic Led Zeppelin covers on a morning radio talk show, I was so impressed I picked up their debut album. While I wasn’t overwhelmed with their first effort, the music was pretty good filled with lots of hooks and good solid yet not overly complicated composition. Ironically, it was one of the weakest tracks from that album, “Meet Virginia”, that managed to put a dent in the charts. 

With Drops of Jupiter, Train retains the formula that made their first album a success: A hook happy middle of the rock band like Matchbox Twenty without the annoying nasel vocals of Rob Thomas or The Dave Matthews Band. The bottom line, the band doesn’t make a grand departure from the sound of their debut, so if you liked their first album be sure to pick this one up. On the other hand, there isn’t anything new here to win over additional fans.

i think Drops of Jupiter is an incredible and deep CD. If you like laid back rock then you well like this CD. I love It :D


Posted by Tina:
I think it's the best song in the world and Train the best band in the world period.


Posted by Em:
Train sounds better than all that crap you people call music..


Posted by Mr. huh? saying, "My Generation Sucks!":
Why is it that songs about love and such are considered sappy, as if not substantial. So what if this band is pop-rock, that doesn't mean that it's automatically bad.

I THINK THIS SITE STINKS BECAUSE I DIDN'T BLEEPIN' SWEAR AND THEY ACCUSED ME OF SWEARING! LAST TIME I CHECKED KEWL WASN'T A SWEAR WORD SO THE SITE STINKS, but the song is kewl (or the way the bleepin' site wants me to put it cool)

This is an awesome CD. Normally you only get a few good songs on a CD,though this CD was absolutely fantastic. The songs i could listen to all day long!


Posted by Liz:
i think this stupid sappy song sucks.


Posted by jasmine:
I love the backround music! This song is really wonderful


Posted by Vernon:
Train has songs other than "Drops of Jupiter." Try listening to other tracks such as: "Hopeless, It's About You, and Let It Roll." Many of Train's songs contains insperation and advice. You just have to listen to the words of songs other than the hit single.


Posted by HAPPY:
I THINK THIS SONG IS SO COOL



Posted by Mindy:
The poetic imagery in "Drops of Jupiter" is stunning, as well as the changing melodies. I could see singer Pat Monahan rockin' out to something much harder & heavier. I think he's a metal head waiting to bust out. I wish he would've kept his mullet haircut. Train--the guys and their music-- have tapped more into beauty, spirit and heart realm than Black Crowes.

Posted by Stella:
Chris Robinson should sue Train for ripping off the Black Crowes' sound.


Posted by Freaky Man By The Fireplace:
This song is awesome. I have always liked Train, but this song is narlyswell.
