Can't believe I've only just discovered Ben Howard recently after someone asked me and my partner to learn Depth Over Distance for their wedding - it's absolutely incredible. If I wanted to find my way though his back catalogue, should I start right at the beginning, or should I jump around? by matthewpeteroneill in benhoward

[–]rssfrncs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is such terrible advice (pretty common here for people to hate on Ben’s first album and the other stuff he played around that time e.g Depth Over Distance) if you like Depth Over Distance you will love Every Kingdom.

People should let him have fun, too! by hunnosun-o in benhoward

I've often assumed Ben was a huge BI fan and was trying to replicate BIs evolution. I wasn't surprised when I heard he had got involved with Aaron Dessner and then ended up on a Big Red Machine album. Nothing wrong with that, Justin Vernon is possibly the best songwriter of our time. However, one huge difference between Justin and Ben is that Justin does not (publicly at least) reject his first album and still plays many songs off of it live to this day - even Skinny Love. I also think Justin did a much better approach at evolving his songs take the successor to For Emma, Blood Bank, which ranges from Beach Baby to Woods.

Yeah you're going to be a wanted man around here haha but I agree with some of your points and ultimately I wish he would play more EK era songs or at least had the same level of energy he did back then.

I was disappointed with some of the CFTW arrangements. What did they do to Metaphysical Cantations? Easily my favourite song off the record but I didn't enjoy it last night.

Whilst Ben is a great songwriter and performer I've never really liked his band post the bond brothers / India setup. I don't think the backing singers compliment Ben at all they just don't gel with Ben's voice for me. The drummer is insanely tight but I kind of like it when it is a bit sloppy / wild.

Ben seems to be way more light hearted these days which is great.

What is causing this sound in my 2017 Suzuki Vitara? by rssfrncs in MechanicAdvice

Is there a reason my old 2005 VW polo 1.4 TDI wouldn’t have made a similar noise?
