Entertainment WeeklyTrain continue to rumble down a middling path. [3 Feb 2006, p.70]
-
BillboardTrain sounds refreshed and relaxed on "For Me, It's You." [4 Feb 2006]
-
Sure, the band is still peddling the same vaguely Americana M.O.R. sound that the Wallflowers and Counting Crows perfected in the mid-'90s, but for once it actually sounds interesting.
-
The sound of For Me, It's You, is less strident than that of the band's previous offerings, but it's edgier and digs deeper into older musics and styles.
-
Rolling StoneThe songs here sound more than just professional--they sound surprisingly lived-in and earthy. [9 Feb 2006, p.64]
-
The New York TimesThe music is often too banal to be good, let alone great. [6 Feb 2006]
-
"Get Out" and "Am I Reaching You Now" strive for massive arena-rock grandeur, and, while Train is slick and professional enough a band to pull that off, what prevents the album from working even as marginally as X&Y and certainly not as well as The Constantines' Tournament Of Hearts is the banality of the songs' lyrics.

MattFeb 3, 2006Train's best album. Still sounds a little like Counting Crows-lite, but they do open their sound enough for some interesting songs.
