Music reviews of Red Dragon Tattoo

Music Review: FoW - at their best!
Rating: 5 Stars

After listening to the disc, I was not surprised to hear great melodies, the occasional harmony, and three well crafted pop-songs. However, I must admit I was a little surprised after hearing the second track "Today's Teardrops". It was two minutes of pure country-esque rock. While I'm not a big fan of country music, there was enough FoW in it to make it acceptable, and the shock value was worth it in itself. Their last track "Nightlight" is a slow ballad, reminiscient of their song "Everything's Ruined". It implements some interesting alternative instruments, including what sounds like a sitar, and hand drums's. The over all effect is very dreamlike and soothing.

I don't regret buying this CD single. The bonus tracks were hardly cast offs, and seem to be b-sides for the mere reason that they didn't fit into the cast of Utopia Parkway. If you are a fan of Fountains of Wayne, I would definitely suggest you buy this single. It's worth owning.
