Critic Reviews
Show All-
AllMusic
My Private Nation isn't about optimism; it's about the flickering glimmer in the darkness, in the heart, in the culture, in the world, and how it should -- and can -- be seized, right now.
-
Edge induced cohesion
Overall, this album is intensely ambivalent in mood and approach. The song contains songs that are fierce and ungallant towards loved ones, but also full of longing for genuine love and intimacy, a desire to have a rooted and settled place and a wanderlust that includes numerous songs about travel and means of transportation.

Alternative addiction
On My Private Nation Train manages to once again reinvent their sound, and put together an album that even the most avid music fan would hard pressed to find a band with a more diverse sound.

plugged in
The five guys in Train don’t seek a goddess, but appreciate a common woman of substance. The absence of objectionable content just adds to the disc’s appeal. A great pick, musically and lyrically.

uncut
Rhyming “lazy” and “Patrick Swayze” on “All American Girl” helps, striking petulant frat-rock poses on the title track reinforces the impression, and the windy mock-thoughtful anthem “Your Every Colour” seals the deal. Passengers for Dullsville please form an orderly queue.

Entertainment
Straightforward rockers Train commence their journey through My Private Nation with the album’s first single, ”Calling All Angels,” an anthemic hymn to commitment (”I won’t give up if you don’t give up”) that builds steadily to a gloriously clanging climax.
