Target: Ben Folds, Dennis Herring, Michael Brauer, Vector Management, and Epic/Sony Sponsored by: Ben Folds fans We, the undersigned, call on Ben Folds as well as his master, mixer, management and label to re-release Way to Normal with a more suitable mastering job. The album in question is highly disappointing to the fan base at large. It is not the songs themselves, but the way they were mixed/mastered in the studio that upsets us. The songs on the album are overly compressed and clipped, sight Free Coffee and Cologne respectively, to the point of being unlistenable. Everybody who has signed below is a valid and dedicated member of the Ben Folds community. We ask that you comply with our request. Thank you for your time, Folds fans

The mastering on this is honestly painful to listen to. I love the songs but it just sounds like a wall of noise on every track. Please fix it.

Total disaster. Way to Normal deserves better than this compressed mess.

Free Coffee and Cologne is unlistenable in my car. It clips so bad. Such a shame bc the songwriting is actually top tier.

Been a fan for years but this album is a total headache. Way too much compression.

PLEASE!! The production ruins what could have been his best record. The clipping is just lazy.
