The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
1999 studio album by Ben Folds Five
The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner is the third studio album by Ben Folds Five, released on April 27, 1999.

At its best, the new prog, like the old, can transport you to a fantastical, more Technicolor world. At worst, it’s still Lord of the Rings profundities wrapped in self-indulgent twaddle.
Given Ben Folds Five’s power piano pop, prog isn’t th
