Ben Folds Inglewood Concert reviews
Disappointed --- Be Forewarned -- JMO
While I see so many stellar reviews listed, I'm simply going to have to go against the popular consensus. For the first time ever, we walked out on a show last night, and it happened to be Ben Folds at The National in Richmond Va... and we weren't at all the only ones.
First, let me say that I only gave it 2 stars, rather than 1, because I partially blame myself for the disappointment. We are great fans of BF, but were not aware of just how different this new "ymusic" collaboration is from previous work. I Love orchestral music and I Love Ben Folds... But didn't care for this.. at all.
We saw him a few years back at the same venue, on a solo tour, and it was absolutely fantastic. All that we had expected and more. But this just didn't work for us, personally.
If you gave this a good review, I'm glad you were satisfied, but if you've yet to hear his new stuff and think that it's going to be like his older work, I would HIGHLY suggest that you seek out the typical set list and find some YouTube video of this new stuff before you blindly invest in tickets. Just my best advice, based on our opinion! :/
