"My friend said "ugh! Sounds like it's underwater. I don't like it.". Ah...yeah, I thought, that's why I like it. I went through a faze of falling asleep to this album every night." Reply

"A great blend of fun, playful tunes along with much more sobering, mature work. Ben Folds is much more cohesive here than on his other albums, bringing pop and much more rock to the album overall.

"Overshadowed by Ladies & Gentlemen, Let It Come Down is right up there with its predecessor. Addiction, relapse, recovery, floating, submerging. I actually like Let It Come Down slightly better than Ladies & Gentlemen because I never tire of melancholy ballads." Reply

"I listened to this for the first time a week ago, and I've since gotten terribly addicted to it. We'll see how long the hype holds up, but I'm really high on this record for now." Reply

"An underrated masterpiece. Red, Powder Blue, Newborn, Asleep in the Back, Scattered Black and White are all breathtaking. Amazed it's not rated higher; Radiohead fans should like this one." Reply

"CLOUDDEAD is a world of its own. The atmospheric dream-like beats flow into the album from the edges of space, slowly coming together into a loosely held congregation of the kind of hypnotic and emotionally evocative electronic twinklings and drones reminiscent of some of BoC's more spacious work..."
