Ben Folds third solo album "Way To Normal" hits stores September 30th. The quirky Folds offers some unique ways to pre-order "Way To Normal" on his website, most notably the Super-Deluxe Edition, which includes the the album on double-vinyl and physical CD, a 9-track bonus CD, a 60-minute DVD, and 36-page booklet (plus who could do without a foiled-stamp box?). I pre-ordered the [cheaper pre-order option of the] album last week and was able to download two tracks--"You Don't Know Me" and "Hiroshima (B B B Benny Hit His Head)."
After countless touring, the current king of piano rock, returned to the studio and, if these two tracks are any indication, his sound is fuller and funkier once again. "Hiroshima," full of heavy chords and resounding heavy anthem "ooohs", would fit in better on a Ben Folds Five album than among the many soft ballads on his most recent 2005 solo effort "Songs for Silverman". Folds teams up with Regina Specktor on the beat-heavy "You Don't Know Me," a song about a couple with communication problems. Regina aside, this track is definitely an exciting shift for Ben...just take a listen.

I also preordered the cheaper deluxe version and I got it today. Love the album, and I was hoping someone would post the bonus cd, as opposed to me paying 85 bucks to get it. Any ideas where I should look?
