So I got the new Ben Folds album

Usually, I download some songs, and if I like it, I buy a cd.

He's one of my favorites, though, so I bought it before I listened to the song.

Just for the record though, I would have bought it even if I'd listened to it first. I'm not a big fan of it yet, but I am one of those silly fans who will buy just about any cd that has a favorite artist's name on it. :(

What I've heard so far from people is "It's probably his worst album but it's still really great." So maybe it will grow on you. Sometimes I find all it takes is for a different day to come along, and an album suddenly feels completely different.

i'm not a big Ben Folds fan in the first place, but i've had similar experiences with other albums. chances are, your taste in music is fine. a lot of people have a habbit of convincing themselves they love a cd by a favorite artist even when that artist starts to slip. you cant stay great forever. that, or its one of those albums that needs to grow on you. that happens a lot too.

I've not bought it yet but have listened to it through once on the internet; It's still good but not a stand-out album, really.

What I think he lost abit since splitting with the rest of BF5 is the energy that he once had.

But I'm seeing him in six weeks. Whoo.

He's been really awesome both times I've seen him live. I bet you'll have an awesome time.

I really liked his first solo album, but low energy is a good way to describe the second one.

It is a decent album, but I got my hopes up pretty high for it, so I was pretty let down.

My goodness! Do I ever like to say awesome!
