VERY disappointed in the production of this song.  When I heard it live I thought the song sounded very good and had a lot of potential, but it simply is not good in the studio.  Hope the rest translates better

If Brainwashed and Bitch Went Nuts aren't the versions that were played live, I will be severely disappointed

I'll kill Ben if he doesn't include Errant Dog and Effington on this album.

If it's what we were expecting (those songs, plus a few new ones, plus originals of Brainwashed, Bitch Went Nuts, Hiroshima, etc.), then it will be some of Ben's best work yet.  If it's anything like this leak, we're f*cked.

I need this to be clarified soon because I'm nervous

Having now listened to Way To Normal, this has to be fake.  LOL @ the dramatic vocals..."IS THIS THE WAY TO NORMAL", it sounds like it HAS to be self-parody.

I'm so confused.  If this is real, it's essentially a disaster.  I think it's a joke, and I hope I'm right.  It does seem like Ben's humor to do something like this, and yet at the same time it's distressing me because I can't imagine someone taking the time to make a fake album.

Bitches?  I thought he retired that at Bonnaroo?

I know he's saying Hiroshima will be the opening song, but I think Effington would work really well.  I was impressed with the way it opened the Purdue show.

Yeah. I forgot to mention that last night Sam said that they want to keep the rest of the album secret. unless they get anxious. he hadn't even heard kylie before Iowa City.   and that the album should be out before the year's over, but it's not really in their hands anymore.

Wait...the album's finished and mixing next week, but might not even be out this year?  Seriously?

Thought I would say what songs were played.  I don't remember the order so I'll have to go by album:

BFF: Underground
W&EA: Kate
Unauthorized...: Narcolepsy, Lullabye (solo)
RTS: Annie Waits, Zak and Sara, Still Fighting It, Gone, Fred Jones Part 2 (solo), Not the Same, Rockin' the Suburbs, The Luckiest (solo)
SFS: Bastard, Jesusland, Landed
Supersunny...: Bitches Ain't Shit
New: Effington, Hiroshima, The Bitch Went Nuts, Brainwashed, Free Coffee

Very impressed with the new songs.  Everything everyone says has been true, the album is done recording, it just needs to be mixed; unfortunately, he didn't say when it would be out and didn't know the title.  I think that three song solo set (Lullabye > Fred Jones > The Luckiest) was one of my favorite parts, because I wasn't expecting any of those songs to be played.  The set opened with Effington, closed with Underground, and the encore was Bitches Ain't Shit and Not the Same.  I think it was one of the best Folds shows I have been to.

Most of the songs were perfectly done; only a select few (Still Fighting It and Jesusland, IMO) that feel like they need a break.  Narcolepsy, Bastard, and Not the Same, which should be cliches by now, sound better than ever.
