    The Phoenix Foundation never really were a rock band. But Fandango just doesn’t roll often enough.

    Its rambling nature irks, for in among its nearly 80 minutes there are pop diamonds that would have made a sharp and spectacular single LP. [May 2013, p.109]

    Fandango quickly plateaus into an exercise that is pleasant rather than provocative; an effort that, despite occasional highs, is relentlessly...acceptable.

    Fandango tries to revel in its excess and overreaches far too often to be considered a success.
