Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
I'll admit, I wasn't quite sure what to anticipate with this album, but as a long-time Ben Folds enthusiast, I decided to give it a listen. And I'm happy I did. While there's not much traditional singing to be found here, you can certainly sense Ben's influence throughout. It's quite abstract and avant-garde, but it's crafted well with enough structure to keep the listener engaged. The pressing is top-notch too, with no apparent issues. It's mastered beautifully and pressed cleanly, with no background noise or significant inner groove distortion. The translucent orange vinyl complements the cover art perfectly. It's a unique piece that serious Folds fans should consider adding to their collection.
After giving it a spin, my record sounds crisp and clear. The see-through orange hue is pretty neat, even with a couple of odd black smudges that look accidental. It's all over the place, random, and a blast. This album is a shift from Ben's usual style, a cool standalone piece between his fifth album and solo work. It's not exactly deep, but it's a great backdrop for tidying up my record collection, which is what I was doing while listening. My top track: Paid My Money (though Root to This is a close second, it used to be the outro for the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me). Listen: 1/100 in 2025 (6/14).
After giving it a spin, my copy sounds crisp and clear. The see-through orange color is pretty rad, even with a couple of odd black smudges that seem accidental. It's all over the place, random, and a blast. This one's a bit different from Ben's usual stuff, a cool standalone after the fifth album and before his solo work. It doesn't have much to say, but it's a great backdrop for tidying up and organizing records, which is exactly what I did. Favorite track: Paid My Money (with Root to This as a close second, since it used to be the outro for the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me). Listen: 1/100 in 2025 (6/14).
To be truthful, I wasn't sure what to anticipate with this album, but as a long-time Ben Folds enthusiast, I decided to give it a listen. And I'm happy I did. Even though there's not much in the way of actual vocals on this record, you can definitely sense Ben's influence throughout. It's quite abstract and avant garde, but it's well crafted with enough structure to keep the listener engaged. The pressing is also top-notch with no noticeable issues. It's expertly mastered and cleanly pressed with no background noise or significant IGD. The translucent orange color complements the cover art beautifully. It's certainly an oddity that serious Folds fans will want to add to their collection.
