Listening to the track - went to check if either the SR-71 guy or the Bowling For Soup guy had a hand in this. Looks like the blame can be shared by producer Butch Walker and a team known as S*A*M* and Sluggo who cut their team on the Gym Class Heroes and other Modern Rock radio faves like the All Time Low.

I hate the chorus a LOT more than the verses

i was just getting over the two-ply lyric in "drive by"

i was thinking the chorus sounded like third wave emo
thank you for decoding that

"Drive-By" and most of the album is apparently courtesy of a Norwegian duo named "Espionage" who also hooked them up with "Hey Soul Sister"

Hey, YOU live in the Bay Area, therefore I blame you for not seeing to their demise.

i haven't heard the Train song yet but i stan for Butch Walker so it's a shame he's involved in something that's apparently this bad. All Time Low have never really gotten any rock radio play, though, they're a haircut emo band (from the Baltimore suburb i lived in in college!) that would've been on TRL if TRL still existed by the time they got semi-big.

I can't wait to find out that the lead singer has knocked up Stevie Nicks and forced her to have an abortion.

i like the part in the song where they leave san fran in a thousand dollar van. to go where? LA? seems kinda expensive, actually.

they had their first radio hits and started touring nationally around that time

drops of jupiter i don't mind! i always forget who does these kinda interchangeable songs i hear on the radio. i like that one better than any black crowes song i've ever heard. and i've heard at least 3 black crowes songs.

c'mn, the Black Crowes shit from high above onto Train, as do the Spin Doctors.

well i definitely like at least 2 spin doctors songs more than the train song or any black crowes song.

"Hard to Handle" > Spin Doctors >>>>>>> "Drops of Jupiter"
― crüt, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 01:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
i just think the drops of jupiter vocals always reminded me of black crowes dude. but i actually do like the train song more than any black crowes song that i've heard. i also like georgia satellites keep your hands to yourself more than the two spin doctors songs i like and the train song and any black crowes song. but that's neither here nor there.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 01:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
hard to handle is a good song but it was better before the crowes got their crowe feet on it!

never needed "hard to handle" but that leaves at least 4-5 Crowes tracks that are legit grebt if u dig Sticky Fingers

yeah i just never listened to the crowes much. this is cool too by the way:

All Time Low have never really gotten any rock radio play, though
really? woulda sworn this is one of those bands i see on the Modern Rock Top 20 chart that I've never actually heard. Maybe I've just seen them on the albums chart enough to assume.
Butch Walker put his fingerprints on some decent stuff about a decade ago, but I've never understood his esteem with other ex-idolator folk.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
ok listening to this song...it's pretty bad, but not any worse than "If It's Love" tbh
Butch Walker's last couple solo albums are great and he was all over the last Fall Out Boy and Pink albums i loved, did prob the best later Weezer single, etc. so that stuff outshines whatever crap he's been involved with.
― some dude, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
i liked "if it's love" too \o/

the whole wordy staccato verses/big melodic chorus thing is really grating to me as a pop/rock formula
oh my god i just looked up Train on Spotify and the deluxe edition of their last album has a cover of "Umbrella"

― some dude, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah agreed - i was just saying why the whole wordy staccato verses/big melodic chorus thing might not bother me
― recent thug (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah i guess that's where you were coming from with that -- "semi charmed life" still has fairly melodic verses, though -- "if it's love" is like a bad standup act where the closest thing to a punchine is "remember winger?"
― some dude, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
Now that this song is here, I know exactly when to set the time machine for so that I can get to their van before they do, slash the tires, and keep them from reaching their major label showcase and getting signed to Aware records or whatever.

I don't know about "all the time"; for me anyway, terrible bands/artists rarely give me any enjoyment (although when they do, it's a fuckton of enjoyment; see: ICP, Spice Girls).
