Train My Private Nation

Once again, I am blown away by Train. These guys consistently put out albums that are good to the last drop.

I like Pat Monahan's vocals. They are textured enough to keep my interest, and very singalong-able.

The music is catchy, and there is a lot of range. Energetic songs, slow depressing songs, and things in between.

The lyrics have good hooks, but they are abstract and intelligent. Wow! I love that about them. Every song on this album is a collaboration, usually involving almost everybody in the writing process.

That's a sign of a tight band, they work together to create. I think that's a sign that they will probably not split off into separate acts. I sure hope not, because I love their sound.

Well, I could say things about this specific album. But I think I can suffice to say that it is consistenly good, like their other albums. It was not a disappointed at all, and I liked their other albums a lot.
