This is why I love the .org, because we don't expect to love everything Ben Folds puts out. We love it if we love it, if we don't like it we say we don't. We don't need to all collectively like it because we're a fan. There's a point where the ass-kissing stops. Like, when a fan has an opinion.

I dig a good 65% of the album so far. I need more listens. I'm just wondering what made Ben put such a horrible song as the opener, when he's notorious for puting great energetic numbers in that spot.

Jackson Cannery
OAD
Narcolepsy
Annie Waits
(eh, not really Bastard so much)

But this song is fake, atrocious, annoyingly catchy (yes, the bad kind of catchy). and such an Elton John rip-off rather than a tribute. It would have been ok as a B-side, but to start the album I don't know what he was thinking. As a fan, I'm entitled to question that. Still, I like a decent amount of the sound in the new album so far..

I agree with you that Hiroshima is a poor opener. But Bastard? That was brilliant.

I absolutely love the new album. But I would've been pretty pissed to witness this set.

There are certain other Ben Folds message boards some of you may or may not frequent with users that may or may not have the album and may or may not have sent it to me

I'd be willing to post it here if it's allowed. I just figured most here would have it already.

And not to mention, it comes out sooo soon. I don't think the quality is terrible by any means, but I would think a better leak is coming soon.

It's out. Only 160 kbps, but it's out.

Going to bed and listening $\m/$

So no intro from an Asian like Ben said?

Well, T.I.'s new album just leaked, and that comes out the same day as Way To Normal. So maybe we will get it this week after all.

Same here (to Kidney05), but I bet we won't get it until beginning/middle of next week.

Music just doesn't leak early like it used to. Back in the old days (meaning...say...5 years ago) albums ALWAYS leaked at least 2 weeks ahead of time...often more like 3 or 4. But nowadays that just doesn't happen. Maybe there's just been a loss of interest in the music business (as we've seen with record sales), I'm really not sure.

Now, of course, it certainly COULD leak this week, it isn't outside the realm of possibility. But judging other albums and the timeline of when they have leaked within the last year or so, I would say we won't be getting this for another week.
