What we said at the time: “The thing that stays with you, though, throughout ‘Whatever…’ is the impression of Ben as maybe being just a little too smug for our own good, a feeling which isn’t helped by a final, secret track where someone anonymously yells, “Ben folds is a f**in asshole!” to a chorus of cheers.”
