Title: Ben Folds needs a hug
Review: This album immediately struck me as an album made by an artist who is sick of hiding behind his mask of humor, yet it is a mask he sometimes enjoys wearing. This CD strikes me as depressing in a Pink Floyd kind of way: good music, but with a melancholic tone that can't be denied. This CD adds a new dimension to Folds' music, and for those who enjoyed "Evaporated" off of "Whatever and Ever, Amen", this is right up your alley, a dark alley though it may be. And there's nobody else in it.
