NTHstarsJun 21, 2003These guys compose perfect feel good, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" Beatles era pop, that treads no new ground. Destined for elevators everywhere. The opening hook to "Stacey's Mom" is a blatant Cars ripoff. Solid but overrated.

Awards & Rankings
-
Their tunes have always seemed too facile, but seven years divided by three albums doesn't equal glib, especially with those years deepening their lyricism rather than their cynicism.
-
Not only their crowning achievement to date but also one of the year's finest albums, period.

The secret to Fountains of Wayne's genius is the ability to infuse personality into a typically personalityless segment of America, making sadness and mundanity both interesting and deceptively fun.
