Train's album cover for Bulletproof Picasso.
Uninteresting pop-rock matched with cheesy, tired lyrics. This is what is found on Bulletproof Picasso, the seventh album by Californian band Train, still trying to repeat the success of their early noughties albums.
The Grammy-winners have produced a handful of hits in the past, but their latest album misses the
mark with songs that are completely skip-worthy. The title track does have a catchy riff and piano tinkering, and it's backed by an anthem-styled chorus.
Angel in Blue Jeans introduces a cool country vibe to the record, but tracks Cadillac, Cadillac and Give it All are almost too embarrassing to listen to. Not to mention front man Patrick Monahan's falsetto, which is incredibly grating. Bubblegum pop heavy Wonder What You're Doing For the Rest of Your Life is the closest the album comes to another Hey, Soul Sister except it's nowhere near as good.
