I am so excited for this album! The video gave an excellent insight into the making of the record and the song clips left me wanting more. I've been a huge fan of Ben Folds' work since I was in the 6th grade (1998) and although I miss BFF, Ben continues to keep exploring exciting new avenues that I can't help but take an interest in. I am anxiously awaiting this record to drop and I am very intrigued about the collaboration with Mr. Hornby!
