Traffic and Weather finds them treading water in the worst possible way.
-
Despite being four years in the making, Traffic and Weather finds Fountains Of Wayne offering more of the same and yet decidedly less, working your nerves to the point where you’ll wonder whether you ever truly liked them in the first place.
-
Their songs are either shitty soft-rock or worse, wink-nudge pastiches like the new-wavey 'Someone To Love'.
-
This essentially middle of road noise bears some relation to their past work but lacks any of the grit or charm that made them such a cool little indie band.
