This is music that's produced like classic pop, which also means they do not rely on Monahan's quasi-autobiographical journal entries or cut-and-paste collages. He may have pushed these words down in the mix, but they still run throughout Bulletproof Picasso, and they sometimes distract, but by pushing feel over meaning, Train have wound up emphasizing their strengths.

Probably Train's most inoffensive album. No bad lines (although I Will Remember was really close), no bad songs, just nothing but mediocre fluff. Still, it's a far cry from the band's early years.
Although, it's their last album with any resemblance of quality. After this they completely fall off.
Train is the type of band that manages 1-2 amazing songs per album. The rest of the songs always feel fairly generic and just o.k. at best, and skippably cringe at worst. If you take all the best songs from each of their 8 LP's, you end up with a really good Best Of.
Best of contenders: "Angel in Blue Jeans", "Wonder What You're Doing...."
Cringe Award: "Give It All"
i don't know why but i've been looking for this album (specifically the cover) for probably a decade. i thought it didn't exist
