Ben Kweller - Ben Kweller
It's usually a bad sign when an artist releases an eponymous album that isn't his first. It usually means that the artist, or the artist's record label, is trying to repackage him. Thus, Ben Kweller releases his third solo album.
Kweller is a competent if unambitious songwriter, whose charm has lain mostly in his smart-ass persona. Unfortunately, the earnestness displayed on this album does not suit him. The best of the lot is "This Is War", which is unfortunately war-as-metaphor and not a political song. In the current environment, this is not as amusing as it once was.
