    But for all of its snickers, ''Suburbs'' is serious business -- a pop fantasia that seals Folds' rep as the Cole Porter of underclass underdogs.

    The new Ben Folds is a lot like the old one: as unpredictable as he is talented.

    Folds seems to want to please everyone on the disc, making the listening experience a bit haphazard, if not a little predictable.
