Title: Ben Folds Grows up
Review: Picture Burt Bacarach as a smart butt 20 something and you have Ben Folds. I have been a fan for a while and with his new CD I believe that I will be a fan for quite some time. With the new CD he trys to push himself in a more adult manor while still trying to hold onto his immature past (musically speaking). He really has put together a great album, but an album that might alienate some of his casual fans, fans searching for angst ridden anthems such as "Song for the Dumped" and "200 solemn faces" will find this CD hard to swallow, its not like his old stuff, its more polished and sounds like somewhat of a concept album, but it is great and worth the effort to buy it and listen. Good Job, I look forward to the next CD.
