"This album is the "real" live CD for true Ben Folds fans. While "Ben Folds Live" is undoubtedly great, "Songs for Goldfish" gives long-time Folds fans all of the obscure stuff they've been hoping for. This album is a great tie-in with "Songs for Silverman", especially if you get the special edition Dual-Disc (of Silverman, not Goldfish). Goldfish includes full length versions of many of the song clips seen on the Silverman DVD. The "Tokyo Inter-FM" tracks accurately displays Folds' sense of humor, and "Side of the Road" is a great studio add-in. "Weather Channel Music" is a fantastic display of Folds and friends musicality, while "Evaporated" brings the album to an emotional climax. All-in-all, a very well mixed album, with more focus on the audience than "Ben Folds Live:. A true must-have for hardcore Ben fans."

Great Throw-In Album - But Not Long Enough

"I love Ben and this album was a Great add-in when I bought Songs for Silverman. The only problem is that for an album with only 10 tracks I can do without the fluff. Fluff like "Weather Channel Music" (which is just an instrumental) and "Radio Jingles for Tokyo's Inter-FM" (which is something I might just want to hear once or twice, not buy on a cd). I'm also not a big fan of "Hiro's Song" but the rest of the tracks are totally awesome. Hearing tracks like "Evaporated" or "There's Always Someone Cooler Than You" are fantastic live. And "Side of the Road" is an amazing song, it could easily be on Songs for Silverman. Even though I say it's a bit too short, it wasn't made to be a full-length album so you can't really hold that against it. If you're a Ben fan-Highly recommended!"
