Release Notes:



http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7847651



Ben Folds' seventh studio recording begins appropriately with an

Elton John spoof. After a string of introspective albums, the old

-school (as in Ben Folds Five era) "Hiroshima (B B B Benny Hit His

Head)," with its bombastic strings, "Benny and the Jets"-inspired

piano motif and not-so-subtle refrain of "They're ing me,

ing me fall" marks a return to the snarky, sarcastic days of

old when Folds' signature blend of nerdy bravado and apathetic

melodiousness wrested dominance of the proverbial , college

dorm stereo from They Might Be Giants. Like all of Folds' records,

Way to Normal is full of melodic hooks and witty, semi-obvious

barbs. Folds rarely works in metaphor, so when he sings, "The

~censored~ went nuts/she stabbed my basketball and the speakers to my

stereo," that's really all that happened. Surprisingly, it's the

quieter moments on Way to Normal like "Cologne," "Kylie from

Connecticut," and to a lesser extent "You Don't Know Me" (the

latter, a duet with Regina Spektor) that elicit the biggest

thrills, but they're few and far between. Folds has always found a

way to balance all of the privileged, rich-kid prickishness with

moments of surprising profundity, but this time around the

profanity and outrage feel more d than usual -- the

aforementioned "~censored~ Went Nuts" feels somehow more sophomoric

coming from the mouth of a 42-year-old producer, composer, and

father. Way to Normal may win a few fans back who balked at the

newfound sincerity that peppered his last two or three records,

but a little more nuance and a lot less displaced teen angst would

have made it palatable for everybody. [Folds reissued Way to

Normal in 2009 as a two-disc set called Stems and Seeds. Disc one

featured the remixed, remastered, re-sequenced album in its'

entirety, though without the excessive, radio-ready compression

that accompanies most major label releases, while disc two

featured files from the sessions that listeners could upload to

"Garageband" and remix themselves.]



did not include disc2 because it's garageband files.
