Product Description
CD Description
When Ben Folds and his oddly-named trio crashed the guitar-heavy grunge party dominating the early part of the '90s, hedid so by melding unerring pop sensibilities with acerbic lyrics. REINHOLD MEISSNER finds Folds using more orchestrations on a record full of pop confections that was unknowingly named for the first man to climb Mt. Everest without an oxygen tank. "Don't Change Your Plans" includes a flugelhorn section reminiscent of any classic Bacharach/David composition,whereas the slightly more uptempo "Mess" carries a breeziness that has Elton John's influence all over it. Folds avoidsfilling REINHOLD solely with such nakedly emotive numbers like "Magic" and "Hospital Song" by fiercely rocking the '88s.
The semi-autobiographical "Army" bubbles over with Robert Sledge's unmistakable fuzz bass and help from the Squirrel Nut Zipper's horn section. Folds throws in a semi-rap and electronic sound effects to poke fun at his southern upbringing in "Your Redneck Past" and uses an answering machine message left by his dad as the vocal track for the coffee-housejazz of "Your Most Valuable Possession". Folds wraps everything up with the mid-tempoed "Lullabye", a song whose combination of orchestral arrangements and soulful piano playing bring to mind Ray Charles.
