Great Deal
You get Maureen, Karpet King, Nightlight, Girl I Can't Forget, Man in the Santa Suit and a smattering of other above average tracks in this album along with some ones that can be skipped over. Out-Of-State Plates contains several songs that may be considered sub-par by Fountains of Wayne's but it's a terrific bargain none-the-less. The best part though is the deal, you're essentially getting two overstuffed CDs for the price of one. .


Complation?!?
Enjoy!!. If you are a real fan of Fountain's of Wayne this is a must have - but it should not be thought of as outtakes record, these songs are very well written pop songs about real life.


Mixed bag for the Fountains fan
Like most "previously unreleased" compilations it has some gems, some dogs and some oddities. If you're a fan, you'll probably like this disk set. If you are looking for your first disk from these guys, try Welcome Intersate Managers or Utopia Parkway.


not as good as Welcome Interstate Managers...
Kind of a let down. Did not find much interesting or, frankly, good on this albumn - unlike other Fountains of Wayne efforts in the past.


For a bunch of leftovers, these are really good!
This delightful collection of "leftovers" continues the band's talent for writing catchy, melodic power-pop. After three studio albums, FoW decided to put out this double CD collection of B-sides, live tracks, and demo's. Truth be told, they could've marketed the entire collection as another studio album if they wanted to. But I think they wanted to put out this collection just to appease us fans until their next album comes out (sometime next year), which I'm very glad they did! In the meantime, I'll just have to settle to listening these songs over and over again! :)

Stand out tracks:

Maureen
California Sex Lawyer
Janice's Party
I Know You Well
I'll Do The Driving
The Girl I Can't Forget
Kid Gloves
I Want An Alien For Christmas
The Man In The Santa Suit
Imperia

If you're into power pop, you should check out this other band by the name of Material Issue (R. I. P. , Jim Ellison - God rest his soul. . . ).
