Title: Incredibly catchy storytelling
Review: This Fountains of Wayne album isn't 100% stellar. The track "Michael and Heather" is a snoozefest, for example. Yet the standouts ' Traffic and Weather, Yolanda Hayes, Someone to Love, This Better Be Good, and New Routine are absolutely incredible. (Hence the 5-star rating.) The powerpop is, in traditional Fountains style, catchy and undeniably enjoyable, but the real treat is the lyrics:"Five forty, Channel Six News TeamBreaking story 'bout a get-rich-quick schemeOne anchor turns and faces the otherSays, It's time that I made you my loverOoh, we belong togetherLike traffic & weatherLike traffic & weather"and in New Routine:"Two men sit in the corner of a dinerOne of them says, `I might take a trip to ChinaIt's one of those things we should do before we're too old'`Thanks but no thanks, bring me back an eggroll'"Because not every track is incredible, you may want to purchase the best tracks separately, such as on Amazon MP3 (preferably) or iTunes.
