Title: Different But Excellent
Review: If you are looking for a rehash of Whatever and Ever or the debut Ben Folds album, you are going to be disappointed. BF's first two albums highlighted BF's physical acrobatic piano skills (quite effectively). In Reinhold, BF has matured somewhat and his musical skill is now manifested itself not so much in the staggering tickling of the ivories but the composition and mood of the music. The entire album is substantially more polished and produced than previous albums but songs like Your Redneck Past will remind you why you liked BF so much. If you are a fan already, listen a few times. It will grow on you.
