Given Train's success with the strings- and piano-drenched single "Drops of Jupiter," it's not surprising that their sound on 'My Private Nation' has changed significantly from their first two albums. While Pat Monahan's lyrics and vocals remain solid, the new pop/rock sound inevitably leaves songs sounding less original than previous Train material. The album, overall, is quite good; its quality is just hidden beneath a layer of mainstream production.
