Whatever and Ever Amen
This album was recorded in Ben's house in Chapel Hill in September and October of 1996. His father, who is a carpenter, soundproofed the house. The album was produced and recorded by Ben Folds and Caleb Southern. The cover was designed by the band and Leigh Smiler.
There are actually two versions of WAEA. The first version has the "hidden track," which isn't much of a track at all, and all the talking between the songs. After Brick was a hit, there were more produced, but these did not have the talking or the hidden track.
