    It's all hook-riddled, fast, and ephemeral, and if you don't love it, your tie's too wide.

    Though the songs recall the Fountains' smart, well-crafted material, they lack that band's detailed lyrics (typical line: "All I really want to say/Is I need you every day"). But these likable tunes usually hit their modest marks.

    Ultimately, the whole of Tinted Windows is so much less than the sum of its considerable parts that it's almost tragic.

    Pleasant enough yet not remarkable. Some songs are better than others, my favorite is Can't Get a Read on You, but overall it's just OK. It's a good mind clearing record when you don't feel like thinking.… Expand
