"Pristine in its' delivery, Randy is able to capture a true essence in his lyrics through voice… they just seem an effortless vehicle for each other. This aspect especially, leaves no doubt of the time, passion, dedication and love the artist has put into his craft."

“...This album is a bold move, but it's a move that ultimately works, and works very well.”

“...it is wise to greet the return of this group whose members dedicated the essence of their existence to the music, without drawing from them the honors which they would undoubtedly have deserved as much as numbers of other groups of the time.”

“...The Last Great Train ain’t metal and it ain’t prog, and I don’t care. The soundtrack of my windows-down summer in America’s heartland has arrived.”

“...a flourish of guitars and a strong taste of American blue collar rock.”

“...Filled with melodic, textured pop, the new album puts a mature spin on the band's signature sound. But that doesn't mean they've gone soft: Keyboardist/vocalist Randy Smith and guitarist Andre Maquera still deliver plenty of dynamic dazzle. (review on The Last Great Train release)”

“...8084's The Last Great Train is something you'll need to hear if you like Journey, Bon Jovi, and any other great band whose music has stood the test of time. Basically, if you enjoy music in the slightest, then you'll dig The Last Great Train.”

“... With a vocalist that’s part Geddy Lee, part Don Dokken, and part Jon Bon Jovi; plus a rhythm section that mixes classic seventies arena rock with modern day flair; 8084’s Last Great Train may ride the rock music rails for quite a while.”

“...What a strong pop/rock album this is from 8084, better than we are used to today. (review on The Last Great Train release)”
