 love the album, doesn't import to itunes Sep 01, 2009
I wish I could put this on my ipod, but because of it's dualdisc nonsense it's the ben album I hear the least because who carries around a cd player anymore?
Great Album--Lousy DualDisc Jul 04, 2009
I love this album. I recommend it to all Ben Folds fans, and I don't regret purchasing it--I just regret purchasing this DualDisc version.
On the back cover of the disc, in fine print, there is a footnote that reads: "The audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specifications and therefore not all DVD and CD players will play the audio side of this disc."
I have no idea why they created a CD that doesn't play in some CD players. It played in my old portable CD player, but when the thing broke and I replaced it with an iPod, I was dismayed to discover that I could not import this CD to my computer because MY COMPUTER CAN'T READ THE AUDIO SIDE OF THE DISC. Is this some sort of copy protection (the footnote, while referring to other text, does appear next to the FBI Anti-Piracy warning . . . ).
Although the DVD side plays, iTunes can't import the audio or play it. Therefore, my only option is to "listen" to the DVD side at my computer or on the DVD player on my TV. Since 90% of my music listening time these days comes from my iPod, this is not an attractive state of affairs.
End result: I enjoyed this album immensely from a musical perspective. But I haven't listened to it for a long time because of the lousy format they chose to use for the Audio side.
 Where have I been Aug 12, 2008
I am unsure as to how I missed knowing of Ben Folds. Simply amazing and traditionally not a piano enthusiast, I can't get enough of his talent.

Highly recommended Mar 22, 2008
Rockin' in the Suburbs is his best, in my opinion, however this is a close 2nd. One of the things that this shows is that he gets better and better as time goes on. One talented dude!
musically thick but lacks the funk Mar 22, 2008
"songs" is definitely not shallow. it is full of thick meaty tunes that you can sit down with in your dark leather chair with a glass of wine, read a thick book and call yourself a philosopher, it's that tasteful. this is probably not the case for most folds fans or for anyone really. this album is for a thoughtful mood and if you catch it at the right time it can be heavily nostalgic. all songs for silverman needs is some funky songs that you can groove to that fits the mood of the album and that would be quite a feat to craft for anyone, but i guess folds just wanted a more serious, melodious, beautiful album, much like beck's "sea change".
if you're new to folds, don't start with this album some would probably write him of as being boring. start with rockin the suburbs and expand from there. another more practical quality of songs is the sparse swearing and the record zero f**** which is always nice for us faint of the ears. a real musician dosn't need a foul mouth to attract attention
ending with that random bit of wisdom, songs for silverman is a beautiful ,romantic, musically sound album and definitely worth the time
just perfect for a lovesick summer
