Great Album! Apr 21, 2010
You either like Ben Folds Five or you don't. I would say either this album is as good as their first.
Ben Folds Five CD Feb 19, 2010
My husband really liked it. It was his favorite Ben Folds Five CD. He gave it to his brother for Christmas.
An Essential Album Nov 05, 2009
Buoyed by the success of the song "Brick," Whatever And Ever Amen went on to be Ben Folds Five's best selling album by a landslide. And why not? The album contains the most diverse collection of songs that the band wrote (with Folds of course at the helm) while they were together. Tongue-in-cheek bubblegum pop (Kate), a very mature take on forgetting the past (Smoke), songs that dabble in jazz styles (Selfless, Cold, And Composed, and Steven's Last Night In Town), and a raw, candid examination of one's self (Evaporated). The bonus tracks on this re-mastered edition are just icing on the cake as they say. Though I recommend their self-titled debut for an introduction to the band (and really, it's great to listen to their albums sequentially as you can really see the growth in their songwriting), you certainly can't go wrong with WAEA.

 Ben Folds! Give me my money back, you bitch! Nov 22, 2007
Just kidding! I love this CD! Although the additional content on this reissue content was best saved for a LP cause it's kinda sort of buying a nice steak and getting taffy and cotton candy on there too. If you don't mind skipping the occasional odd track, there are some on there that will blow you away. Take a chance and buy this CD.

Piano pop. Apr 22, 2007
I had heard their song "Air" on the Godzilla soundtrack I had on cassette when I was in elementary school (don't ask me why I owned it). That song was pretty cool but I didn't really start listening to them. I strayed away from them, actually, because a local artist in my area sounds just like them (and I wasn't a fan of that local artist). It wasn't until a few weeks ago when I heard "Song For The Dumped." That hooked me in. After buying this album I was pleased to see the bonus b-sides they included. Like a lounge version of "She Don't Use Jelly" (originally by The Flaming Lips). All in all, very catchy piano pop.
