| Ben Kweller's New Album-On My Way New album comes out tomorrow. I already got mine in the mail Saturday (preordered it off his website). I absolutely love Ben's first album Sha Sha but I have to be honest and say that I'm disappointed in his new album. I would love to hear other's opinions of his new album or anything Ben-related. I am most likely going to see him in concert this Saturday night in Boston. -Will __________________ When people get the opportunity to talk about the real issues, it becomes clear how vacuous the present agenda is.

| Oh nooooo, don't tell me you're disappointed in it, I've been looking forward to it being released for MONTHS! I too love his first one, but couldn't pre-order because I live in the UK... I'm hoping I'll be able to get my mitts on it this week. It's had good reviews in the British music press, how is it different from Sha Sha? __________________ I am freaked.

And the big thing is that the songs just aren't as catchy or well written. It still has some pretty good stuff on it, but it pales in comparison to Sha Sha/ Others may think differently, though. I've listened to it 3 or 4 times now and it doesn't grab me like his first CD. __________________ When people get the opportunity to talk about the real issues, it becomes clear how vacuous the present agenda is.

| His first CD did indeed grab me - after the first listen I couldn't stop. I'm feeling panicked now. I'm off out later so I'm going to try and pick it up - I'll be back with my thoughts in a day or two! __________________ I am freaked. You've freaked me, Luv Fran xxx | |||

| I got tickets to see Ben live this Friday night with Death Cab for Cutie in Providence, RI. Will be my first time seeing Ben live, although I've had a few other opportunities but no one who wanted to go with me. __________________ When people get the opportunity to talk about the real issues, it becomes clear how vacuous the present agenda is.

| I saw him in London last December. Fantastiiiiiic! He played a few new ones back then I seem to remember but that was before I had Sha Sha so I couldn't really tell you now which ones. I'm getting On My Way today, my mum is picking it up for me on her way home :-) __________________ I am freaked. You've freaked me, Luv Fran xxx | |||

| I just got it today. I like it. But definitely not as much as Sha Sha. Sha Sha is pretty much my favorite CD ever...On My Way is definitely less catchy. And I wish there was more piano, I'm on the 4th to last song and there's only been one so far. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I'm seeing him w/ Death Cab on Monday night in Philly. I saw him last April, too, and he was really good. I guess he'll be playing mostly his new songs, though, which is a little disappointing. | |||

| From what I've read, more than half the songs he's playing on this tour are still from his first album. __________________ When people get the opportunity to talk about the real issues, it becomes clear how vacuous the present agenda is.

I didn't even know he had a new CD coming out until I saw the ad in Target on Sunday. __________________ | |||

| He played most of his old stuff in London in December. Eugh, I can't tell you how gutted I am about your reviews... I 've been SO looking forward to it - the piano / guitar mix was my favourite thing about Sha Sha. *weep* __________________ I am freaked. You've freaked me, Luv Fran xxx | |||

| For everyone going to the Death Cab tour... are you getting there early/sticking around (I think the order switches from city to city) to see Death Cab For Cutie? What's that, yes?! Ah, good. You'll love them. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I looooooved Sha Sha when it first came out, but to be honest I haven't given BK a whole lot of thought since last time I saw him a little over a year ago. I have to be really inspired to want to listen to him, and it hasn't struck me recently. I am definitely curious to hear the new album, though. __________________ but your ribs can't withstand the increasing weight as your heart gets heavier and sooner or later it falls to the tips of your toes | |||

| Death Cab won't be at any of the Southern California shows, except for Coachella. They'll be going up to Canada instead when BK is down here. __________________ | |||

I'm also kind of sad that OMW isn't all fun and polka dotted like Sha Sha. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] | |||
