Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in the Piano Concerto Movement 1 where the orchestra swells to meet a frantic piano run
The biting lyrical turn in 'Not a Fan' where the chamber arrangement makes the critique feel even more intimate
The way 'Phone in a Pool' uses pizzicato strings to mimic the frantic energy of a social mishap

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does So There sound next to the rest of Ben Folds's catalogue?

Cathedral+4.0σ

Cathedral saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
