Pro Reviews: Whatever and Ever Amen
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Expanding on the hook-laden songcraft of their eponymous debut, the Ben Folds Five turn in another glitzy array of Todd Rundgren-esque, piano-driven pop on their second album, Whatever and Ever Amen. Though it isn't as consistently tuneful and clever as their first record, Whatever and Ever Amen has a snazzy sense of popcraft -- the hooks of "The Battle of Who Could Care Less," "Brick," and "Fair" sink in nearly as effortlessly as Billy Joel, Elton John, or Joe Jackson -- which makes the record enjoyable ear candy. Occasionally, Folds' smug humor -- whether it's the alternative rock skewering of "The Battle" or the borderline misogynist humor of "Song for the Dumped" -- can undercut his melodic gifts, but Whatever and Ever Amen is confirmation that the showy pop pleasures of his first record were no fluke. - Thom Owens, All Music Guide |

Pros: great first five songs to begin CD
Cons: gets boring after the fifth track
This was the first CD of BFF's I bought (no, I didn't buy it for "Brick" like most people). I opened it up, popped it in, pressed play, and was instantly blown away by just the opening 5 seconds. "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces" is just one of the downright coolest songs ever and an absolute bang to begin the CD. "Fair" is good but it gets kind of boring towards the end. I'm always surprised "Brick" was such a hit -- it's good but it's not crazy good. "Song for the Dumped" is one of my favorite songs -- it is so awesome!! All the solos in the middle are so amazingly cool and there's such emotion in it, I'm sure it would be an absolute blast to play live on stage. I love singing along to it (as well as to "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces"). "Selfless, Cold, and Composed" is a real mellow, somber song, but I like it a lot. As for the rest of the CD, it's just average, nothing really stands out. The hidden track, I must say, is pretty sweet. Anyway, I recommend this CD, but only if you can handle the extreme awesomeness of Ben Folds's piano. ...
