Title: Enjoyable, fun, 70s classic pop/rock
Review: As someone whose only prior exposure to FOW was "Stacy's Mom", this album has been a pleasant surprise. The songs are well-crafted - this isn't garage band rough stuff - with catchy hooks, and lots of "hey!", "yeah!" and "ba-ba-da-ba-ba-baaahs". Even with the 70/80s era synths layered on many of the tracks, the guitar work and drum production give the album an up-to-date, fresh sound.If tongue-in-cheek lyrics, simple melody lines sung over a bedrock of guitars and drums are your thing, you should check out "Traffic and Weather". Favorite tracks: "'92 Subaru", "Yolanda Hayes", "Someone to Love" and "Traffic and Weather".If You Like cross-reference: Rockpile, Nick Lowe, Badfinger, The Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad
