Ben Folds Five anyone ?

I first got into Ben Folds after visiting his hometown of Chapel Hill, NC and hearing the excellent solo album "Songs for Silverman".
Now he's reformed Ben Folds Five and released a new album "The sound of the life of the mind" and it's pretty special ...anyone listening ?

I haven't heard any of the new stuff, but I have all Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five's previous albums. Adore the guy, though prefer him with his 'Five'

Ben Folds is a modern day musical genius.

I find that every time I listen to him/them, I wish that I possessed:

a) the ability to beat the hell out of a piano and have it sound like a tune, and
b) a piano to attempt a) on

'Song For The Dumped' in particular evokes these feelings
