I got the new Ben Folds disc in the mail last night. I had ordered it from his site, because it came with a free bonus CD called Songs For Goldfish (which you can also buy on the site). I got the deluxe edition. It looks like a book (my Beck deluxe edition of "Guero" was the same). 40 pages including lyrics and photos, the CD , and a DVD with the making of the CD.
I like Silverman.. it's alright.. but I think it's his weakest CD. Even on his site, he mentioned that he didn't record it as a complete CD, but as individual songs. And then, there's the fact that it DOES sound like a lot of his old stuff. There are songs that are almost the same tune as older ones. I'm sure it's going to grow on me.. I like about half of them right now.
