Title: If you're in your car, you better have this CD handy.
Product review: Yes, Train sounds a lot like some other bands that are out there, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It seems to me that everyone needs to have a disc they can blast in the car on a summery day and just enjoy and sing along to. This could be that disc for you and yours. The lyrics, while on the surface a little pedestrian, develop layers of meaning as you get into the disc; 'Hopeless' has to be one of the most pained and nuanced tracks about infidelity I've heard. The careful modulation from bravado to self-delusion to vulnerability is honestly touching. It's the one really stand-out track on the disc, but if you're like me and you don't really pay attention to most of what the media deems "alternative" music, you may enjoy this slice of sunshine for the occasional delights it brings.
