Trying to write about more serious subjects, within the confines of a genre of music well-known for not taking itself seriously, is a delicate balancing act, and these guys have pulled it off well. This is the second release from This Train, and to be honest, it's great, considering that the band was originally something to take up a bit of spare time! Part punk, part swing and, but mostly, good old rock'n'roll .you name it. it's there. As they say themselves, this kind of music is normally about fast cars and "cute chicks", but this album, despite it's fun sound, is full of meaningful lyrics. If ever you need evidence to prove that Christian music isn't all the same, then this is perfect! If you want something new, fresh and original, then again, this is perfect!
