Way to Normal sucked. Stems and Seeds is pretty good.

Maybe I'm in a different frame of mind from when I listened to Way to Normal (haven't listened to it since), but Stems and Seeds, the reissue/remaster/resequence of Ben Folds' latest CD is way better than the original.

My main gripe with Way to Normal was that it sounded overproduced, which appears to have been adjusted in Stems and Seeds. It's still a little too "band"-y for me to like it more than his earlier albums where he just plays piano and sings, but it's not bad...

The new track arrangement seems to work better too, and it has the "fake" tracks from the leak.
