Incredible Music! The raw talent here is quite obvious. What an incredible band. "Whipping Boy" is by far the best song on the disc. Make sure to get their even better self-titled debut disc also.
Bought it for the title track...
If you hesitate as I did, because you only see one song you know, and wonder if these guys will be a one-hit wonder - I'd say go for it. I got this for the title track - but really enjoy the rest of the CD too.
Not what I expected
I loved the song Drops of Jupiter so I bought the CD. this CD is not what I expected. The rest of the songs are way different than Drops of Jupiter. Most of them have more of a country feel. At first, I really didn't care for any of them, but after the first time I listened to it, the rich tones really registered and the fact that it was a fabulous CD worked itself into my brain. The only song on here I don't like is Respect.
Love it!
This is one of the best new groups I've heard in a long time. I have an extensive collection of cds, most of which are older tried and true groups. I don't pick music by a style. I pick what sounds good to me. The poetic lyrics of "Drops of Jupiter" remind me of some of the Doors lyrics. I recommend this cd to anyone.
Pick up ''Drops of Jupiter''
From the opening song "She's On Fire" to the closing "Mississippi", Train delivers a solid record. Train's sophomore effort, "Drops of Jupiter", is nothing short of amazing. They have avoided the sophomore slump, and may have even bettered their freshman effort. Standout tracks on the album include: "It's About You", "Respect", "Let It Roll", "Getaway", "Mississippi", and of course the hit single, "Drops of Jupiter. " But then again, all of the songs are great. I would recommend this record to anyone who likes Train's self-titled debut, and to anyone who likes The Dave Matthews Band. "Drops of Jupiter" is not a record you should miss.
