Ben Folds Five
The Sound of the Life of the Mind
Reviewed by Jason Sendaula
Ben Folds Five’s latest, The Sound of the Life of the Mind, is the usual whiny, or is nasal, happily melancholy sound for which they are known. Musically sound it doesn’t reach out and grab you. Can’t dance to it, not good for crying to- so just standard white noise. Trying to do too much, it doesn’t get anything accomplished.
