Speed Graphic & Sunny 16 / Ben Folds : 4 of 5
11.04.2003 10:42 PM \| Link	In my opinion, Ben Folds is like a modern-day Billy Joel with bigger balls. He has an awesome sound (which he has continued on his own even after the demise of Ben Folds Five) that uses the piano in a fantastic, percussive way, and his lyrics and subject matter are always poignant and funny at the same time. He's the only artist I know who can curse in his lyrics and make it sound intelligent and beautiful. I bought these two EPs from the iTunes Music Store, burned them onto one CD, and I've been cranking them in the car for several days now. There are some incredible songs here that span several moods, but my favorites are All U Can Eat (hilarious, true, and thought-provoking) and Songs of Love (full of great metaphor and rhymes). As long as Ben can keep churning out the tunes, I'll keep buying! Labels: cds
