Music reviews of Utopia Parkway
Music Review: An interesting record
Rating: 3 Stars
This was FOW's 2nd record and you can tell why the public didn't react with a purchasing fervor. It doesn't have what you would call "singles" all over it. That however, is not a bad thing at all. Utopia Parkway shows us a band well into its own clever writing style. A bit of pop rock, witty lyrics that both have and poke fun, and great musicianship. I'm glad to have this in my collection as one of those secret records that most of my friends don't even know exists. Enjoy.
Description of Utopia Parkway
Fountains of Wayne's second album is somewhat of a new thing under the sun: Pet Sounds for '90s Jersey high schoolers. Main-men Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood litter these songs with cultural references (Pink Floyd laser shows, tattoos, Puff Daddy, lavender Lexuses, "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"), but their "Valley of Malls" is saturated with as much bittersweetness as that of Adam Sandler's wedding singer. The pop-savvy Schlesinger--who also puts in time as a member of Ivy and wrote That Thing You Do!'s title song--is wiseacre enough to dub a touching ELO tribute "Prom Theme," but when the album ends with one of the kids falling for "The Senator's Daughter," it feels as openhearted as when Brian Wilson puzzled over why he just wasn't made for these times. --Rickey WrightGeneral CDs
