Review

Train’s sixth studio album, "California 37," dropped on April 13, 2012, and continues their signature blend of pop-rock and folk vibes with a fresh twist. Recorded in hot spots like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, it flaunts production magic from Butch Walker and Espionage. Inspired by the iconic California State Route 37, the album cover showcases a cool 1961 Cadillac cruising down a desolate road with the band's crown logo making a bold statement.

Musically, "California 37" nails those upbeat, catchy hooks we love. The lead single, "Drive By," revs up with dynamic guitar riffs and romance-drenched lyrics, while tracks like "This'll Be My Year" and "Bruises" (featuring Ashley Monroe) dish out nostalgic and country-tinged flavors. With themes revolving around love, family, and personal growth, Pat Monahan’s introspective songwriting shines through, keeping the vibe optimistic and relatable. Though critics were split, the album rocked the charts, debuting at number four on the US Billboard 200 and racking up over 254,000 sales by September 2012. "California 37" is undeniable proof that Train knows how to keep delivering those infectious, heart-tugging tunes we can’t get enough of. - Morgan
