    Train is without question one of the worst bands in music right now.

    train is so incredibly crappy. everytime they come on the radio i need to change the station before i puke because of this girly-man's "poetry". same goes with creed and maybe dashboard confessional.

    This band's lyrics were written by a 9th grader. We all would be better off if this band set down their instruments and never picked them up again.

    Continues to adhere firmly to the rootsy rock of fellow travellers Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows, while their earnest musicianship and hard work will delight fans of that sort of thing. [Aug 2003, p.115]

    There's a surface attractiveness to many of the songs here, such as ''Save the Day'' and ''All American Girl,'' that rewards closer listening.

    Pat Monahan and his boys have reverted back to their quasi-bohemian roots, meaning they sound like a better Counting Crows (with a dreamier frontman) and less-challenging Wallflowers.
