The Fountains' 2003 album "Welcome Interstate Managers" may have helped them, somewhat belatedly, acquire a mainstream audience but, bar getting Rachel Hunter to star in the "Stacy's Mom" video, it was actually pretty much business as usual. So it's no surprise to find the inspired songwriting partnership of Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood approach their fourth album in much the same way as the first three. They still write the songs that no one else seems to get round to, about the people that no one else seems to notice. They still pen power-pop tunes so utterly irresistible—"Someone to Love," "This Better Be Good," "Strapped for Cash"—that they deserve to be every bit as ubiquitous at radio as the elements of the album's title. Oh, and they're still brilliant. Investigate.—Mark Sutherland
