This is a modern sounding experimental pop/rock song that really only compares to contemporary bands, and even then it's a case of sounding a tiny bit like lots of bands but not similar enough to any to pick out a direct comparison. So this is surely a good thing, and it shows that, although over a year and a half old, these recordings have their own identity. With 'Train' he indulges in his experimental side a bit more, stretching the song over the six minute barrier; not because he can, but because he needs to. It's a slower song but the dip in pace isn't followed by a dip in quality, and the female backing vocals add a nice touch. With this extra length he allows himself to indulge in something a little more epic, using more guitars and different ideas.
