His best solo record and a must l..."  [+]  Reply

"THEY COULD HAVE BEEN AS BIG AS.... DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!! Indie Rock used to be scary. I’m not shitting you. I was there! When bands like Jesus Lizard who would just as much fight you as play for you. At least it seemed that way. I mean the bass player would just give you this death stare for the..."  [+]  Reply

"Red Alert and Always Be There had a lovely sound. Bingo Bango reminds me of Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag which is not an awful thing. Feels sweaty. Exciting to dance to. Keeps playing for a very long time. Good stuff indeed."  Reply

"A great album to lighten up the mood. Most of the songs are silly but infectiously catchy, never dragging too much to be bothersome. It doesn't have a hit, a song I'd name fantastic, but it doesn't have any weak song either Best songs: Old Familiar Way, Nickee Coco, Neat Little Domestic Life, Tul..."  [+]  Reply

"This album's a little more serious, or sullen if you may, than their first two. Take "don't change your plans" which finds Ben Folds in the autumn of love sitting on his suitcase with the end of the relationship in sight, closing the song "i love you, goodbye". i love the tragic beauty of "mess",..."  [+]  Reply

""Fanmail" threw chlli front-and-center the most. It worked well. "no scrubs" and "unpretty" are the standouts, but other strong songs include the attitude of "silly ho", the faux-romance of the near-porn "i'm good at being bad", "shout", the personal exorcism of "dear lie" and "love sick". Of cou..."  [+]  Reply
