This is the third in Ben Fold's trilogy of EPs, and I've been anxiously waiting for it to become available at the iTunes Music Store for quite a while! Now that I have it, I've been cranking it in my car for several days, which is pretty impressive considering I'm listening to the same five songs over and over. Once again, Ben proves that he's the coolest piano-banging dude on the planet, and shows off his ability to make dirty words downright poetic. Get Your Hands Off My Woman starts off the CD with an incredible drum track and some great lyrics. The next two songs are much slower and introspective - I like them, but they don't really move me like Ben's other slow tunes (like Brick, for example). Then comes the gem - Rent a Cop, an homage to mall cops (hey, that's a Greatest American Heroes song!), is one of the funniest, funkiest songs I've ever heard! The CD ends with a short Ray Charles tune, Them That Got, and then if you're listening in Mikey's car, it starts all over again. OK, Ben, I'm ready for a full album, but I'll settle for more EPs if you've got some spare time!Labels: cds
