Punctuated by 2005's sprawling compilation of B-sides and outtakes (Out-of-State Plates), a nearly four-year interval between fresh recordings has done nothing to tarnish Fountain of Wayne's pop-drenched songwriting tandem of Chris Collingswood and Adam Schlesinger. This 14-song bash is a late-'60s/early-'70s time warp that exploits every facet of the pop action plan (chiming guitars, infectious choruses, sinful harmonies) and begs for radio play. As usual, the band never takes itself too seriously, crafting melodies around a lively, vigorous cast of characters that practically come to life. There's a DMV attendant who can't shake our attention (the bouncy, piano-boosted "Yolanda Hayes"), an airport-stranded couple waiting impatiently for lost luggage (the folksy "Michael and Heather at the Baggage Claim"), and ex-lovers who blame it on the highway ("Fire in the Canyon," which explores the radio country-rock of the Eagles and America). They sing of an old-model Japanese car to get the girl ("'92 Subaru") and Renee seeing you "at the Gap in a baseball cap" ("This Better Be Good"), and any way they shake it, even after a too-long interruption, Collingswood and Schlesinger rarely miss the mark. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews of Traffic and Weather

I'm going to be listening to this one for a long long time
Let's make it simple. The music is catchy, the lyrics are fun and original. I hear and feel Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, and a whole lot of great 80's bands on this one. I dare you not to bob your head while driving and listening to the title track!


Awesome
It makes me laugh when I read reviews of people complaining about this record. I like all of FOW's records and I to might've liked a little more guitar driven rockers on this release but for the life of me I can't understand how anyone can put this record down. Nobody out there is as creative lyrically or hook wise and nobody is doing or can do what they are doing and I'm grateful as heck that there is a band out there that I actually look forward to hearing and learning those smart snappy lyrics. These guys are real musicians and that seems to be a long lost artform these days. Go listen to the radio and you'll see what I mean.


Corny
This album is either 2 or 3 stars - I decided for 2. This is the first Fountains of Wayne album I have listened to, but I have heard a few of their singles from years ago. The songwriting on this album is real corny, and intentionally so. A lot of the instrumentation is just as corny too - overly catchy hooks and harmonies that grate with only a few listens. Oh, and the name dropping and brand-slinging is rampant and also becomes grating. <

>Sure, they don't take themselves too seriously, but nearly every single song is obsessed with cars, trains, airplanes, and travel in some way. This obsession certainly is familiar to me - perhaps the songwriter is autistic? Or, to be fairer, maybe they were trying to create a theme album, however, I hear that this band is always obsessed with transportation. I don't know; I must say that I can easily remember each song, which is a good sign, but many songs are not memorable in a good way. I hear other albums, like their self-titled, are better. I recommend listening to that first if, like me, this is the first FoW album you are about to hear.
