Eh. I dunno about that art. It's okay I guess. Their other two releases had cool art, so I kind of expected something quirky like Commit This to Memory's.

Doesn't matter though, I'm sure this record will be awesome.

I want this to be good, but I have a feeling it will be bad.

Especially if these song titles are any indication.

ugh. This is starting to smell of sappy romance / high school bullshit rock. Expectations lowered.

Are these song titles the soundtrack for the next episode of the Real World?

Eli Janney isn't from Fountains Of Wayne; he's from Girls Against Boys.

I am the Movie was fun, but I personally thing Commit This to Memory is better. It has the poppy songs, but they also show versatility on "Hold Me Down."

Ric Ocasek is a good choice for a synth band. He rocked the shit out of the Cars. The guitar playing on any album of theirs was awesome.

If it's produced by not only Ric Ocasek but also Adam Schlesinger and Eli Janney of fucking Fountains of Wayne it's going to be amazing. REAAALLLLYYY POPPY, but amazing.

Who else in cleveland is seeing Fountains of Wayne @ the house of blues June 9th?

I expected better artwork from a band that's this creative...the songs will be great though, rest assured

Lame art, but I'm incredibly excited about this.
