All expressed in such a real and creative way. Although I do like some songs versions on the Ben Folds Live album better (Narcolepsy, Army etc.). I think the band actually detracts from the intimacy of the songs.Ben Folds Five Whatever and Ever, AmenBig K.R.I.T.

However, like many artists, these tracks do not for me add anything new to the Adele repertoire. In fact, the rawness of the her first album (19) in my opinion did more of what she does best: pure vocal power. With the added hooks, beats, instrumentation and production of the newer album, it kind of distracts/detracts a bit from the great old vocal arrangements she's capable of. Still great but just a tad underwhelming. Ben Folds Songs for SilvermanBen Folds Five Ben Folds FiveFlorence and the Machine CeremonialsVery hit or miss for me. Florence Welch for the most part shines in her own soulful, powerful way. But there are multiple occasions where and idea or sound of a song overstayed it's welcome. Keane Under The Iron SeaKid Cudi Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. RagerTennis Cape DoryBreezy, upbeat and fun. While Cape Dory is not glancing upon any profound topics (think boats and beaches), the sound is clean and simple. 3.0 goodAer The ReachExcellent showing for a solid new duo. The sounds are fresh and the style is defined, although it was alot of the same old song and dance over the course of the album.Beastie Boys Hot Sauce Committee Part TwoBlind Pilot We Are The TideCake Fashion NuggetCake Pressure ChiefCity and Colour SometimesFranz Ferdinand You Could Have It So Much BetterJack Johnson Sleep Through the StaticThe Hives Tyrannosaurus HivesAn overall solid Hives album, but it seems that they got far too complacent with their sound and therefore lacks the evolution of sound and style better artists cultivate with each new album. Tyler, the Creator GoblinFlashes of genius hampered by terrible filler tracks, a whiny attitude/wordplay permeating in one too many tracks, clunky flow and subpar guest spots.2.5 averageAmerican Football American FootballCake Motorcade Of GenerosityThe album to me sounds like all the worst cake songs together on one album. The sounds are very loose, unrefined and lazy. That being said, the worst of cake is average.Carbon Leaf Indian SummerSounds like a slightly more serious version of weird alKaiser Chiefs Yours Truly, Angry Mob
