...kind of things that made 1997’s Whatever and Ever Amen such a landmark for angst-ridden but grunge-free teenagers. Ben Folds is best appreciated for his catchy tunes, bitter and sexually frustrated lyrics and creative piano melodies, but the five songs of Super D possess few to none of these qualities.
