I was pleasantly surprised to say the least that I enjoyed such a mainstream band as much especially since I didn't like Tell Me from a few years back. I absolutely loved this CD. There is a great variety of the type of songs. They are pretty much all great in my opinion and don't include mediocre 'CD FIller' songs.…Expand
California 37 is more "pop" than any of their previous releases. The album is rather happy-sounding, which rightfully starts with "This WillCalifornia 37 is more "pop" than any of their previous releases. The album is rather happy-sounding, which rightfully starts with "This Will Be My Year", an upbeat song that inspires listeners to anticipate all the good things to come. The album tracks are full of witty pop cultural references, wrapped in catchy tunes.

Train were always a very interesting band. Their music is by far different from what you would occasionally hear these days. The real magic inTrain were always a very interesting band. Their music is by far different from what you would occasionally hear these days. The real magic in their music can't really be explained in full. California 37 may not be their best work to date, but it sure is one worth sitting down and listening to. It doesn't really bring Train back to it's roots, but this new sound, which tends to mix in a variety of Alternative sub-genres and brings in plenty more instruments than a normal song, makes the album worthwhile.…Expand
Train on their latest album - "California 37" did not give any interesting or distinctive compositions, so that they can take place of "Hey,Train on their latest album - "California 37" did not give any interesting or distinctive compositions, so that they can take place of "Hey, Soul Sister". Tracks are hardly interesting mix of pop and rock, also with some elements of folk and country motifs. Carefree songs will only interest fans of the artist, the rest can let it go.…Expand
