Biography

Formed in New York in 1996, Fountains Of Wayne took its name from an iconic garden store in nearby Wayne, NJ (which, sadly, closed recently). The band has received steady critical accolades since its inception; "Dean Of American Rock Critics" Robert Christgau has called them "lyric poets" and "true art heroes." The group's line-up, which also includes ... Read more in Amazon's Fountains Of Wayne Store

5.0 out of 5 stars summer smiles 6 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD
This album follows the previous successful pattern; well executed, upbeat power pop, clever lyrics and warming harmonies - but even better than ever. Sky Full of Holes is just what the world needs in these dark times, summer smiles on a cd. Like their other albums, I will enjoy listening to every song on this album over and over again (i hope it isn't 4 years before the next!)

3.0 out of 5 stars An Average F.O.W. Album Is Still A Good Album 4 Jan 2012
By A. Marczak TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Fountains Of Wayne are one of those bands that you won't come across on mainstream radio a great deal. They've had a couple of blockbuster hits, notably Stacy's Mom, but most of their popularity has grown through fan word of mouth.

This is their fifth studio album (not counting the B-sides collection), and having listened to it many times, I can say it is my fifth favourite.

The style is all there: the stories of quaint couples doing strange things, road trips, being lost on tour, and the tunes are all there: powerpop foot tapping, slow melancholia, bit of country. It's all a little formulaic, but when you compare Fountains of Wayne work to the rest of the world, it's still great music. Few bands still create this much quality on their fifth album, hell, some barely make this much on their second.

Just because it doesn't hit the dizzy heights of Radiation Vibe or Red Dragon Tattoo (or Maureen, my guilty pleasure), that doesn't make it a bad album. There is much to enjoy on this album, it's just that their back catalogue has much more to love, and it's hard to match that level evvery time.

If you've just come across Fountains of Wayne, and you're thinking of buying this album, then buy it, but go and listen to their older stuff as well, including the B Sides, because nearly all of is just fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Be Late For This Sky 1 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Since their fine debut back in 1997 each FOW release has shown a growing maturity lyrically amd musically. Four years since the last record 'Traffic & Weather' this new reocrd has been garnering excellent reviews in the UK (always a danger) as this means nobody will buy it. As with all great reords it's all about the songs & melodies which FOW have in abundance. Maybe a bit too American for us this side of the pond - but as a fan since 97 I can recommend this and all their records. BUY WITHOUT HESITATION.

After 3-4 weeks this record gets better, confirmed by one of FOW's best ever songs as the last track 'Cemetery Guns' - a tour de force. No longer just power pop - adult pop.
