Free Music Notes for For Me It's You
Free Music Review: wow
Hit: 5 Stars
I had almost given up hope on another Train album when they went ahead and released For Me, It's You. I had taken a break from listening to their three previous albums and almost forgot that they were still together...shame on me.
I find when it comes to Train's albums (and you can let me know if you agree of disagree), each one leaves you with a certain emotion. Their first self-titled release leaves me sort of melancholy, but in a good way. Drops of Jupiter puts me in a very introspective and pensive mood. My Private Nation is much more upbeat and catchy. Lastly, For Me, It's You finds me somewhere in between all of that. Train managed to somehow capture everything they've done right on each of their albums so far and put it all into one helluva solid effort. This fourth release is one that I can really listen to beginning to end and enjoy each song equally.
For some reason, Train gets slammed by a lot of critics for their niche status. They aren't really an alternative rock band, certainly aren't straight-up pop, and do have a slightly southern/country feel to them occasionally. Personally, I think it's what makes them so great. Each song is it's own statement, with definitive and thought provoking lyrics, performed always admirably by Monohan, and beautifully layered music that always accents the strong points of each song, whether it be the divine strings of Drops of Jupiter, guitar heavy "All American Girl", or lyrics-heavy ballads like "Skyscraper".
The newest release opens with "All I Ever Wanted" is a regret-laden gorgeous tune that doesn't hit its climax until its 2/3 over, and I love the payoff. "Get Out" seems a bit Coldplay-ish, only I actually enjoy Pat Monohan's voice. Oddly enough, the single "Cab" is the song I listen to the least on the album. The song is wonderful, it's just that there are so many that shine even brighter. One of my favorites is "Give Myself to You", with a message that I think so many people can connect with, about learning to take care of yourself before you can really care about somebody else. The best song on the album for me is "Explanation". This is vintage Train right here - tricky, sometimes cryptic lyrics that we think we understand dripping with Monohan's inflection combined with not-too-harsh musical interludes. I can't figure out if I like "Always Remember" or not, with the notes of the chorus being remarkably discordant and odd-sounding. But it's certainly different. The album closes with the groove-heavy title-track "For Me, It's You", a song with a selfless message.
I'm waiting for the day that I get out of work and don't immediately summon up "For Me It's You" on my Ipod on the commute home. I know I'll have to tire of it eventually, but for now, I'll just "sit in every bit of it's afterglow."
For Me It's You Poster
flexfield5With For Me, It's You Train officially takes up residence in the big, wide space 20 and 30-somethings fall into when they no longer dig the Maroon 5's of the world, but have yet to settle in with an all-serious, all-the-time artist like David Gray. Frothy this record is not, yet from the Keane-ish opener, to the Coldplay-inspired anthem "Get Out," to the kicked-up '70s bar jam "Am I Reaching You Now," to the wrenching power ballad "Always Remember," written for a lost loved one, it's catchy as hell. Climb aboard, the bright guitars and pulsing keyboards blithely suggest, and forget for a minute that Train isn't quite the musical flavor of the month. Emo haircuts, skinny ties, and electrobeats never quite fit this band, and the fivesome is not about to make room for them in the overhead storage bin now. If you don't love them for it, on the strength of this mighty effort, you'll at least respect them. -Tammy La Gorce
