Train - "Drops of Jupiter" - Is Train rock or rom-com?

Train’s Drops of Jupiter might be remembered as a big, glossy early-2000s rock record—but underneath the strings, hooks, and radio polish, is it actually rock… or a rom-com soundtrack waiting to happen? This week on Classic Rocktails, Doc and Mac revisit Train’s breakthrough album, from the massive title track and “She’s on Fire” to the songs that sound suspiciously perfect for a movie montage involving an airport, a breakup, and someone running through the rain. We dig into the making of Drops of Jupiter, debate whether Train deserves more respect than rock fans usually give them, and put the album through our most dangerous test yet: ROCK OR ROM-COM? Pour the cocktail, cue the strings, and find out whether Drops of Jupiter still holds up—or belongs next to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days on your DVD shelf.
