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 watching me,
watching 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 cheap, 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
bitch 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 forced than usual -- the
aforementioned "Bitch 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.
enjoy..
