Ben Folds - Way to Normal [2008]

Posted on October 10, 2008 | Category: Alternative, Ben Folds

Much like everyone else it seems, we’ve all been fans of Ben Folds since he was Ben Folds Five. So he clearly has a very devoted following of people like me who will buy anything he puts out on day one.

So I have listened to ‘Way to Normal’ four times now. After the first time, I thought, “This is really uneven and kind of disappointing”. Usually I’m hooked after one listen.

There are some really stupid, childish lyrics on the album - ‘Errant Dog’ comes to mind right away and the “f’ing a Guru” in ‘The Frown Song’. Those lyrics made me cringe and feel really old. And then there’s the really lame woman-leaves-man/ man-leaves-woman joke that leads into “B*&ch Went Nuts” with its David Carradine Kung Fu delivery. Maybe today’s teenagers might find this stuff funny, but I did not.
