First Impression Music Review


Ben Folds - Way to Normal B

As I get older and more critical of the music I choose to buy, certain artists are not worth the risk or my time any more. Sometimes their music just doesn't reach me, bands sell their souls or I've simply outgrown the artist (or they've out grown me).

Ben Folds is an artist I still like, still admire and still feel is relevant, although sometimes his music walks the line between witty and goofy.

As a whole, Way to Normal grabbed me right away. Some of the songs feel a litte too playful (Errant Dog), but most of these tracks are a nice blend of humor and sadness (Free Coffee and Cologne).
