Title: Exceeded my expectations
Product review: Like most others, I am a big fan of "Whatever.." and of "Rockin' the Suburbs". So, since this albums release, I sort of expeced the disappointing follow up to a great album that "Unauthorized Biography..." delivered. I couldn't have been more pleased when I listened for the first time. It's true... this album doesn't rock as much as "Whatever..." but I wasn't expecting that. It's full of great piano work and Ben's clever, thoughtful, often humorous lyrics. I found myself enjoying "Bastard" right from the start & each new song as much as the last. The albumn is fast paced enough to keep it interesting and keep it from becoming background music.Most good artists draw inspiration from their personal lives & as those change, so does thier music. The good ones roll with that rather than trying to recapture the sound they had when they were younger. Ben is rolling pretty well.
