career stats:

this album............#83 US
singles:
"the rules"...........no charted action

another of those "3 for $10" discount bin purchases....
I picked up this one because I had not heard of Ben previously and was hoping for a surprise...
my instinct of his genre was pretty close...I thought he may be folky, but allmusic/amazon etc csll him 'alt folk' and 'folk rock',
so I was partially there....
not much to say really...
sounds a lot like Ben Folds with his melodies and lyrically with hints of dry sarcastic humour(don't get me wrong, I like dry sarcastic humour),
but when I hear it in songs(albums) with poppy melodies I just feel the artist isn't being serious about his/her music, I feel as though theyre
'taking the piss' out of music and doing it for a laugh...
that's why I dislike Ben Folds and after hearing this one three times, I also dislike this album and Ben Kweller....must be something in the name Ben maybe??

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: pick one, almost any one!
best track: I need you back
