Amazon.com's Best of 2001

In 1999, Train came out of nowhere with the single "Meet Virginia" and soon after found themselves the proverbial overnight success. The San Francisco band with a penchant for the Southern jam could very easily be one of those acts that fade from memory after a lone hit. But the follow-up Drops of Jupiter makes that misfortune highly unlikely. The band employs tools of the roots-rock trade--mandolin, harmonica, bongos, and crisp acoustic guitar--to evoke that sort of "everything's gonna be all right" sentiment common in so many great pop rock songs. But this isn't a band that relies solely on its precursors for inspiration. These accomplished musicians never overplay, and understand the value of a well-placed synthesized accent or guitar effect. On tracks like "I Wish You Would," they command a plugged-in assertion that lends an inspiring jolt to their acoustic instrumentation. The title track is the album's epicenter. With swelling strings and chorded piano melody, the song sounds as if it were lifted from some lost tapes of Elton John's Madman Across the Water. It sweeps you up in an irresistible top-of-the-lungs sing-along and becomes the reference point for the rest of the album. Radio-friendly rock bands these days tend to be virtually indistinguishable from one another, but Train breaks from the crowd, charging full steam ahead. --Beth Massa

5 out of 5 stars Train continues to be a success...........2006-10-02

'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. In this brilliant album release, Train straddles the easy melodies of pop rock with a rock jamming beat. 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.

3 out of 5 stars It's okay, not wonderful........2006-02-25

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". If it were MY choice, i'd ask that they make a Single CD on that song. 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.

2 out of 5 stars Drops Of Brilliance And Loads Of Mediocrity.......2005-11-11

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

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.

5 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2005-09-10

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

2 out of 5 stars The "16th Avenue" Effect.......2005-05-26

Back twenty or more years ago Lacy J. Dalton sang 16th Avenue, a superb country song about unknowns seeking their musical fortune in Nashville. One verse had this lyric:

Ah, but then one night in some empty room
Where no curtains ever hung
Like a miracle some golden words
Rolled off of someone's tongue

Well, that's Train. They had the miracle of Drops of Jupiter and who knows where it came from, but come it did, like a slap to the face and always remained fabulous with every overplayed-on-the-radio hearing. (Though I could do without all the "na-na-na-na-na" background over the last minute or so.)

And beyond that, there is not a single thing on this CD worth hearing, relentless mediocrity, as if one were trapped on the state fair circuit, hearing big-haired bands from the 80's eternally playing their semi-hits while roller coaster and dodge 'em cars add to the aural clutter.

Two stars for one miracle of brilliance.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible Music!.......2002-10-16

What an incredible band. The raw talent here is quite obvious. "Whipping Boy" is by far the best song on the disc. Make sure to get their even better self-titled debut disc also.

4 out of 5 stars Bought it for the title track..........2001-12-17

I got this for the title track - but really enjoy the rest of the CD too. 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.

4 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2001-08-22

this CD is not what I expected. I loved the song Drops of Jupiter so I bought the CD. 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.

5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2001-07-25

I have an extensive collection of cds, most of which are older tried and true groups. This is one of the best new groups I've heard in a long time. 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.

5 out of 5 stars Pick up ''Drops of Jupiter''.......2001-05-09

Train's sophomore effort, "Drops of Jupiter", is nothing short of amazing. From the opening song "She's On Fire" to the closing "Mississippi", Train delivers a solid record. 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.

      5 out of 5 stars Train Rocks!!!.......2003-03-13

      Train is the best sounding rock band I have ever got to see live. Since seeing Pat Monahan (lead singer) on the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show I have fell in love with their music. The next day I started by buying the two CD's that were out at that time. Since then my collection has grown considerably, even owning the rare and hard to find CD's. This is a MUST hear band. You will not be disappointed. Train, I Love You!!!

      4 out of 5 stars Train, Drops of Jupiter.......2001-07-30

      The best song on the CD is the hit single Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me).

      I really love one of the songs on this CD Called Drops of Jupiter it has a nice tempo and I like the questions that are being asked. It seems to me like the song is saying while you said you needed some space I hope you got wht you wanted and did what you wanted to do, and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there. I don't know if this song was written in that admonission or not but it's a really cool song.
