One of the dumbest albums ever
The lyrics just suck and are very uninspired, bands like this usually don't write their own music anyhow so it wouldn't suprize me. How anyone likes this is beyond me it totally sucks. The overplayed craptastic song from this album "Drops Of Jupiter" is a terrible radio play song that I would rather stab myself in the throat than listen to again. The vocals are terrible and the musicianship just isn't there. Train suck.


Train continues to be a success....
In this brilliant album release, Train straddles the easy melodies of pop rock with a rock jamming beat. 'Drops Of Jupiter' was Train's sophmore release and it was hugely successful making many people realise that the band's hit with 'Meet Virginia' wasn't a one off success but that this band had a genuine talent. Train comprises of 5 men with age and majestic experience behind them and it flows into their music. Pat Monahan has a excellent voice for singing, the words come out clean and pure and he doesn't range into the screams that many modern rock lead singers vaccilate towards.

The album begins with a feel good song in 'She's On Fire' that is easy to sing along to with simply an amazing chorus. This is followed by the semi introverted 'I Wish You Would' and then the self titled song that became a radio staple 'Drops of Jupiter' that is one of Train's best songs. Another decent song is 'Hopeless' with a jamming rythmn and qaint lyrics. My favourite song on this album was the ageless beauty of a tranquil 'Whipping Boy' that Pat sings with a soft reserve and is a serenade for those downtrodden. The rest of the songs are fillers but still enjoyable and engaging in their own right and respect.

This album is a must for any Train fan or soft-rock enthusiast. A perfect album for a romantic evening or a night out with friends or family. Train followed this album with more respect and fame. .


It's okay, not wonderful.
If it were MY choice, i'd ask that they make a Single CD on that song. I'm not going to repeat what everybody's said, but yes, most of the songs on this CD don't have as much feeling as "Drops of Jupiter". It's very. . . soothing. It makes you sort of reminisce what's happened to you, what's happening, and what's to come. The rest of the songs are alright, but they're just not the sort of songs i can sink my teeth into and enjoy every bite my ears take. .


Drops Of Brilliance And Loads Of Mediocrity
Great vocals, super keyboards and heart felt lyrics make this song(not CD) a true winner. Like many reviewers, I can truly appreciate the title track, Drops of Jupiter.

The rest of the CD just sounds like run of the mill pop that is here today gone tommorow. She's On Fire, Its About You, Missisippi, and Let It Roll On are semi-memorable tunes with a few good harmonies thrown in for good measure.

Otherwise this group sounds like they are merely trying to find their sound. It's too clean and pretty to be rock n roll but not natural enough to be country. Its merely syrupy hum drum pop that does not offend me but certainly does not move me either.


Good CD
Recipient said he enjoys ALL the music & is VERY glad to have received it. I bought this CD as a gift and it has been used every day. I also like to listen to it.
