Album Notes & Community Reviews
Songwriters Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger continued their tradition of hyper-literate, character-driven narratives on 'Traffic and Weather'. The album focuses thematically on the mundanities and eccentricities of middle-class American life, consistently backed by bright, sharp power-pop hooks.
