Description
There’s nothing wrong with echoing classic rock and harmonic pop
sounds, especially when it’s done this well. Drops of Jupiter, Train’s
two-time Grammy-winning 2001 album, revels in sweeping hooks
and soulful comfort borrowed from proven 70s methods. At its
core, the San Francisco quintet’s sophomore record is the result of
what happens when concerns about trends and coolness are put
aside and solid, genuinely earnest music is made the primary focus.
Drawing from influences such as Elton John and Van Morrison, Train
crafts eminently listenable fare steeped in finely tailored melodies
and bolstered by affirmative messages. Complementary accents in
the form of sing-along refrains, folksy mandolins, and scene-setting
synthesizer fills give songs grounding and fully realized depth.
Time and again, the band’s acoustic-based material satisfies and
inspires—particularly now that it’s finally available in analog. Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, Mobile
Fidelity’s 180g vinyl LP brings listeners much closer to the group’s
roots-rock instrumentation and vocalist Pat Monahan’s smooth
tonalities. Free of the harshness, boxiness, and flatness discernible
on the CD, it breathes with an openness and airiness that grants the
music translucent qualities. Previously restricted, dynamic headroom
and instrumental separation are enlarged and enhanced. Suffice it
to say that this modern classic has never sounded anywhere this
good. It’s a record made for experiencing on vinyl, and one timeless
in construction and mood.
