Ben Folds "Songs for Silverman" is the best he's done in ages

[Taverner]

DAMN...what good stuff...his 3 EP's were good - but this album is his best solo effort so far!!

DAYUM! The rework of "Give Judy my NOtice" has steel pedal that just works, and there are some other good tunes.

1. I LOOOOVE the EP version of 'Give Judy My Notice.'

BEn Folds is a minor diety to me.

I thought that his last 3 EP's were the best thing he's done since BFF's debut. IF this new album is as good, then it's too damn much.

PS, I heard the new single and hated it. I hope the rest of the album is better than that.

2. ahh, there's a new album?

this is the first i heard of it, i was expecting something to come out soon.

i was lucky enough to see ben fold's five twice when they were together, they were amazing live. etremely tight and right on the money, they were one of the best live acts i have ever seen.

edit: haha, just looked at the track listing, it has a "jesusland".

3. I've heard samples

Wasn't quite as impressed this time. But those are just samples.

4. Underwhelming

Ran out and picked it up after seeing your post, and having just given it a listen...underwhelmed. Doesn't come close to Rockin' the Suburbs, lyrically or musically. It's nearly...dare I say it?...soft rock.
