商品の紹介

Uncut (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Of most interest are three new songs with his first group, Ben Folds Five. 'Tell Me What I Did' in particular recalls their trademark belligerent nerdiness..." Record Collector (magazine) (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he three ballads recorded at the Royal Albert Hall are as heartrending as tales of love and loss come..."

ベン・フォールズ・ファイヴとは何だったのか。バンドのマジックとは何なのか。じゃあソロの自分とは--それらを問い直した盤なのかもしれない。よって皮肉とも自嘲とも取れるタイトルだが、ファンにとっては単純に嬉しさ爆発。デビュー前のデモ、未発表曲、バンド期とソロの貴重なライヴ音源、最新ソロ曲までお宝大放出で、目玉はBF5での新録3曲だ! この柔軟さと挑戦心とサーヴィス精神。頭が下がります。

デモ曲や未発表曲を収録した本作。#13「Break Up At Food Court [Demo 2000]」など、なんで発表しなかったのか理解に苦しむほど、ファン垂涎の楽曲がたんまり収録されてます。
