Comes with limited 3 bonus EP, which features one non-LP track("Brainwashed") - honestly, not sure whatÂ`s up w/ the other two as they appear to the same songs as appear on the album. Simply, "HeÂ`s Back and rocking again!" Lyrically, heÂ`s a silly and acerbic as we usually find him, but itÂ`s his pounding of the rock `n pop rhythms again that immediately catches this fansÂ` ear! "He gets compared so much with the likes of Elton John (we hear a lot of Joe Jackson on this one), from whose sad-but-funny piano-pop lineage he is so obviously descended. So, where you have the holy trinity of 1) genuine emotional depth, 2) wry humor, and 3) perfect jumpy pop on this, then you get classic songs. The three best album tracks share these three characteristics: `Bitch Went Nuts`, `Brainwascht`, and `Effington`, following each other in a beguiling emotional ebb and flow which reminds you just why he can be so enchanting." - Drowned In Sound. "Like all of Folds` records, Way to Normal is full of melodic hooks and witty, semi-obvious barbs. Folds rarely works in metaphor, so when he sings, "The bitch went nuts/she stabbed my basketball and the speakers to my stereo," that`s really all that happened. Surprisingly, it`s the quieter moments on Way to Normal like "Cologne," "Kylie from Connecticut," and to a lesser extent "You Don`t Know Me" (the latter, a duet with Regina Spektor) that elicit the biggest thrills, but they`re few and far between. Folds has always found a way to balance all of the privileged, rich-kid prickishness with moments of surprising profundity."-AMG.
