Advantages: A great album! Disadvantages: First two tracks are not the best
.... "Sunworshipper" follows the exact same sort of vein as the last; it glides and floats with a piano this time. However over the top of this is a sample of an American man talking about getting over a drug addiction by "taking off on his bicycle". Quite an inspiring tune none the less.
"Muscle Cars" is more of what I wanted to hear. This electro tune twists and turns, the beat is simple but quite prominent and for me it's a very minimal tune. Towards the end, it gains a little more momentum with the culmination of the elements of the song. The beats, synth, hi-hat and dreamy sound effects all join together really well. "Drop The Pressure" is the song which was the big surprise hit for Mylo. Played constantly on the radio; I can guarantee you will have heard this. The beats is more tougher but will a real electronic edge to it. Again the synth is used...

Advantages: 2 good songs with good lyrics and vocals Disadvantages: Songs that dont suit the band
...Ok, if you are reading this i know what you are up to...
you have heard Drops of Jupiter and want MORE!
but i have some bad news...
Me and my girlfriend loved Drops of Jupiter, in fact its \'our song\' so i thought to myself what a great gift this album would be! i was sadly mistaken, as i have been so many times before with bands being \'1 hit wonders\'
the album starts with \'shes on fire\' which to be fair, is fantastic...pans through a second song then gets to Drops of Jupiter. At this point i was thinking what a great purchase this was! 2 out of 3 so far...
how wrong was i?? now the rest of the album is just a struggling, murky road till the end, each song worse that the last! i was so disappointed to hear the style so different..
Track Listing:
1. She's on fire
2. I wish You Would
3. Drops of Jupiter
4. It's About You...

Advantages: A great mix of riffs, interesting chords, combined with some original beats. Disadvantages: It'll get obliterated once radio 1 start playing it
...Train - Drops of Jupitor.. How do you categorise this beautifully orchestrated, deeply tonal work of genius? Rock / pop / alternative (maybe not). I don't want to call it pop, cause that likens it to the Spice Girls, (which it most certainly is not!) Rock, well maybe we can call it modern rock, but do not mistake this for a Metallica Head ache (sorry metalheads!), and it's not really dark (depressing) enough to call it indie!
It appears to be a mix of the recently deceased New Radicals catchy-ness, Goo-Goo Dolls epicity, -almost a reminder of a bit of Extreme's 3 sides to every story, with a pinch of black crowes. It's a great reminder of how to play the guitar without drowning out everything else... (which being a piano player usualy really bugs me!) A great mix of riffs, interesting chords, combined with some original beats...
