As evidenced by the title, Supersunnyspeedgraphic, The LP includes songs from Ben Folds's three EPs, Super D, Sunny 16, and Speed Graphic. Also, some of the one-off highlights released between his first and second solo LPs, such as "Bitches Ain't Shit," a cover of Dr. Dre (too faithful of a cover maybe, def. some super uncomfortable moments on here). There are three other coverss included on the record: "In Between Days" (The Cure), "Songs of Love" (The Divine Comedy), and "Get Your Hands Off My Woman" (The Darkness). All the songs have been recorded and rebuffed w/ overlays and instrumentation, and many are different takes of previously released versions. The release ranges in mood, from the sentimental to the more solemn, and it also points to the varied influences that shaped the musician (just peep who he chose to cover). In addition to aforementioned picks, check out "There's always Someone Cooler Than You," "In Between Days," and "Adelaide."
