On his second "solo" album, this stand-up comic and character actor proves himself to be not just a foul-mouthed everyman and an unrepentant geek, but a rather awesome wordsmith as well. That a comedian might rant about how "Cirque du Soleil is like catnip for old people" or the ridiculous unhealthiness of a popular item at the fast food chain KFC is not surprising. That he'd call the fast food item "a failure pile in a sadness bowl" is, let's face it, pure poetry (and really, actually funny the way he tells it). On the track "I Tell a Story About Birth Control and Deal with a Retarded Heckler," Patton displays some of the finest manipulation of a disturbing audience member you'll ever hear. That the album was released by Sub Pop makes perfect sense, as Patton not only has Catholic music tastes--tossing off references to Hasil Adkins, the Pixies, Minor Threat, and Roky Erickson--but as we all know, stand-up is "the new grunge." --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Patton has been a stand-up comedian for almost twenty years and this is his second CD. Lazy...or maybe busy. He's appeared in over twenty movies, including "Magnolia", "Reno 911!: Miami", and the documentary "The Comedians Of Comedy", which he also created and produced. He played Spence on "The King Of Queens" for nine seasons, is a regular on "Reno 911!", a frequent guest on Conan and Jimmy Kimmel, and a recurring voice actor on "Kim Possible", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", and "Crank Yankers". He's a regular columnist in the NY Times Magazine and was an uncredited writer on the "Borat" movie. He's also the lead voice in this summer's Pixar movie, "Ratatouille", playing a rat named Remy. This is his first CD on Sub Pop and it includes a DVD with one hour of stand-up.

His best stuff yet........2007-07-14

Patton is just getting better and better. Absurd without being wacky. Smart without being pretentious. Political without being preachy.

This is his best album yet. Buy it.

Immediately.

Extremely Funny.......2007-07-13

Patton Oswalt is extremely funny. Not just a little funny - EXTREMELY funny. His material is intelligent & unforgettable and this CD is worth every penny.

The Man Never Disappoints.......2007-07-12

Brilliant. That's all I can say. I don't want to even talk about the content because I would not want to spoil a single moment if you haven't heard it yet. It's great. If you love Patton's work, you will love the cd/dvd. Buy this instead of wasting your time watching "Last Comic Standing".
And if you ever get a chance, check out Patton live or check out a Comedians of Comedy tour. Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach G., Eugene Mirman, Morgan Murphy, Eddie Pepitone are the best comedians working today and also some of the most gracious people you will ever meet. Buy this cd now!

Beverly Sills hardly needs an introduction. She sang on the radio as a child and on the operatic stage as a teenager; her meteoric international career was launched by appearances in several virtually unknown bel canto operas at the New York City Opera. This compilation of arias and ensembles from some of her signature roles, recorded in the 1970s, with splendid partners like Nicolai Gedda, Alfredo Kraus, and Sherrill Milnes, displays her unique vocal and dramatic artistry at its peak. Her voice, effortlessly produced over an enormous range, is bright, pure, infinitely variable in color, inflection and intensity. Her intonation is impeccable even in huge leaps, and her breath is endless. The coloratura roulades are like strings of perfect, luminous pearls, clearly articulated in seamless legato. But this stunning technique (whose only flaw is a sometimes wide, wobbly vibrato) is never used for show; every note has life and expression, serving the music and the dramatic situation. Indeed, her characters are flesh-and-blood human beings, whose thoughts, emotions and interactions, from inwardness to ecstasy, from lamentation to overflowing joy, she projects with riveting concentration. Rosina in Rossini's The Barber of Seville is a charming, mischievous minx who succumbs to delighted tenderness; Pamira's great scene from his Siege of Corinth shows clearly why her Metropolitan Opera debut in that role was a sensation. In Verdi's Rigoletto, Gilda's hopeful innocence turns into hopeless despair: she dies, palpably, on a floating, celestial pianissimo. In his La traviata, Violetta's initial cool, hesitant restraint gradually melts as she opens herself (and her voice) to Alfredo's ardor and the bliss of love. The vocal balance in their final duet is uncanny; its tremulous tenderness in the shadow of death breaks the heart, as does her duet with Germont. Massenet's Thais is sensuous; Donizetti's Don Pasquale and Lehár's The Merry Widow provide comic relief. --Edith Eisler

Beverly Sills - The Best.......2007-04-01

What a voice. No coloratura can compare, and she makes it seem so easy.

Beverly Sills' highs are breathtaking!.......2006-09-18

Adio del Passato is incredible! Beverly's high, floating coloratura is no less than ethereal which takes you to another world. Her voice has given me so much joy that it is hard to say one recording is better than another because I love her Mozart album equally with her Bellini/Donizetti. It is so wonderful to have these recordings captured on CD! Enjoy!

THE 2005 OPERA CD OF THE YEAR.......2006-08-19

THIS CD WAS THE BEST OPERA CD ISSUED LAST YEAR, AND HAS CAUGHT THE WORLD'S EAR IN NO TIME. I WAS BUSY WRITING IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL, WHILE THE STATEOWNED FM RADIOSTATION, DEDICATED TO CULTURE, WAS SOFTLY PLAYING OPERA ARIAS IN THE BACKGROUND. SUDDENLY I HEARD THE MOST FANTASTIC RENDERING OF "SEMPRE LIBERA" FROM "LA TRAVIATA". I GOT UP, SAT BY THE RADIO AND WAITED TO KNOW WHO WAS SINGING... THEN GOT BACK TO THE COMPUTER TO ORDER THIS CD FROM AMAZON! INCREDIBLE: ONLY 17 BUCKS FOR THIS, WHILE QUITE A BIT OF TRASH IS SOLD FOR 30.40 AND MORE...
A LADY FRIEND ONCE TOLD ME SHE COULD NOT LISTEN TO THE DUET IN "MADAMA BUTTERFLY" WITH MIRELLA FRENI AND LUCIANO PAVAROTTI (RECORDED IN 1974, BY VON KARAJAN) WITHOUT CRYING. WELL, YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO SILLS IN "LA TRAVIATA" DRY-EYED, NO MATTER WHO THE TENOR IS. SHE PROJECTS THE SAME DRAMATIC FEELING OF "LA DIVINA" CALLAS WITHOUT THOSE SHRIEKED HIGHNOTES; SHE OFFERS THE SAME COLORATURA VOCAL GYMNASTICS AS "LA STUPENDA" SUTHERLAND BUT WITH WARMTH... WHEN BEVERLY SANG, AS IN EVERYTHING ELSE SHE DID, SHE ALWAYS GAVE HER UTMOST. SHE WAS "LA GENEROSA" TO BE SURE.
DON'T JUST SIT THERE READING WHAT OTHERS THINK.
ORDER THIS CD NOW AND MARVEL AT HOW THIS GREAT AMERICAN LADY, IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS, ALSO COULD SING!

EMI Does It Again: Beverly Sills - A Tribute.......2005-07-22

EMI's "Very Best Of" series are perfect introductions to operatic singers of the 20th century. Once you hear these artist tribute albums (much like The Singers series) you will get hooked on the singer and seek out their full-length studio recordings. Beverly Sills was the first truly famous American opera star. One may argue that she was not, that she was merely a continued tradition of American divas such as Mary Garden and Lily Pons and which still continues today with Renee Fleming, Elizabeth Futral and Susan Graham. Beverly was raised in New York City, which is still her home, and which is the home of the New York City Opera and the Met, opera houses which rocketed her to fame. Her first success (not featured in this recording...UH WHY ?) was Cleopatra of Handel's Julius Caesar, a performance she sang opposite the illustrious baritone Norman Treigle. Those performances were legendary because coincidentally at the same time the Met was opening its new theatre and season with what became a disastrous Samuel Barber's Antony and Cleopatra starring Leontyne Price in an overblown, big-budget, epic fiasco. The great roles that followed the 1965 Cleopatra were Manon, Queen Elizabeth I in Roberto Deveraux, Maria Stuarda and Anna Bolena in the Donizetti Tudor Queen operas, Pamira in The Siege of Corinth (which were Sill's La Scala and belated Met debut. None of the Queens are featured in this recording, though its supposedly the Very Best Of. An aria from Rossini's Siege of Corinth is featured here however. What we are treated to however are fine lyric roles- Beverly Sills shone brightly and acted convincingly as Gilda in Rigoletto (the final scene is featured here) as Violetta in La Traviata, Thais, The Merry Widow (the beautiful Vilja is featured here)and the ingenue role of Norina in Don Pasquale is also showcased here. To each of these roles, Beverly Sills delivered an authenticity and dramatic interpretation, not ot mention beautiful, sweet tone. I love her pianissimos, her high notes, her chest register. It was the voice of Beverly Sills who first hooked me into opera. For a recording that should showcase her best work, Manon is not featured nor any of her prized French heroines- Marie in The Daughter of the Regiment and the heroines in Tales of Hoffman. Also not in here is the role that was her first success- the Broadway opera Ballad of Baby Doe. Even as such, the arias here are gorgeous. The Barber of Seville is in here and as Rosina she is playful and charming. Sills was a modern singer, with a voice that was beautiful but willing to sacrifice beauty for the sake of dramatic content. When Sills was once asked what she thought of the supposed rivalry with Joan Sutherland (which was never real and only gossip from partisan fans) Beverly said something to this effect -Joan and I are apples and oranges in our take on opera, we are Picasso and Monet. She would do anything for the effect of beauty and tone, I'd sacrifice beauty for the sake of dramatic text. Even as such, I see no ugliness to any of the roles here. All of them are beautiful to hear, full of rich floating celestial tones. It would have been nice to hear the roles that did call for Sills to step up the tense drama - Norma, will her recording ever be reissued by EMI ? Also, few people know that Beverly Sills sung role most would consider dangerous for her voice (though she sang them long before her career even took off)- Aida and Carmen!!

Glad To Be The First Review- Beverly Sills Treasury Of Arias.......2005-04-29

At last EMI's "The Very Best Of" series has issued some of the finer recorded documented arias of the incomparable soprano Beverly Sills. Fans of this down-to-earth, warm patron of music and the most unique lyric-coloratura-dramatic soprano, will be in Heaven. Sure, this is only some of the arias in only a small number of the many operas Sills performed. To be truthful, this is not what I'd personally regard as the best of Beverly Sills. Other albums of hers do use greater vocal masterpieces she sang- the best being "The Singers" Series, and another EMI edition called The Art of Beverly Sills Volume 2 and then there's the rare and brilliant "Sillsiana". Nevertheless, this album has its charm and appeal. Beverly Sills sings arias from Rossini's Barber of Seville, Verdi's Rigoletto and Traviata. This recording seems to highlight mostly her mastership of the bel canto repertoire and Verdi. Gilda and Violetta were roles she sang with supreme dramatic integrity and sweetness and purity of vocal line. Yet, it is hardly "the best of". Where are scenes from the masterful interpretations of Donizetti, truly Sills strongest suit- Lucia Di Lammermoor, Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda and Roberto Devereaux, where is Sills' Manon, which even she hails as her best ? And when will her recorded Norma ever see the light of day ? Sills also excelled in the French repertoire- Faust, Thais, La Fille Du Regiment, The Tales of Hoffman and she was an incredible Queen Shemakha in Korsakov's Coq D'Or. True, Sills had a light, girlish, delicate voice, bright and small, but this worked in her favor in tragic roles. Dramatically, she could get into character as passionately and convincingly as Maria Callas. When she could darken her voice and use her chest voice for dramatic effect it was often thrilling. This is the latest recording in a number of recordings that are coming out, further promoting a great singer of the past. Beverly Sills. She was the working man's soprano. She worked hard to get to the top. She was the reigning singer of the NYC Opera where she starred in such great operas as Handel's Giulio Ceare Sills as Cleopatra (also not on this recording) and Tales of Hoffman singing opposite the great but underrated bass Norman Treigle. Sills is a wonderful human being and she has a beautiful voice that I cannot get out of my mind. She will always be the greatest to me. She got me hooked into opera.

Let's go to the Buffet with John.......2007-05-08

John Pinette's comedy is great ! The tape has more material than the CD (the tape is not for listeners under 16). I can't wait for John Pinette to put out a new one.

Not that funny..........2007-03-31

Look, I dig stand up, and I dig fat jokes, but this guy isn't that great.

I got a friend who loves John Pinette, but I can't see it.

He tells jokes about how fat he is, how he likes to eat, how he doesn't like to move. Its the same over and over and over again. Its dull and it's too easy. They're not even jokes, really, just comments on how fat he is.

Also a fair part of his act consists of "asian people talk with accents and thats funny" which I find cheap. Stereotypes shouldn't be jokes, and even when they are, they shouldn't be THE joke. John says something with broken english and the audience laughs really hard. Why? Why is that funny, here in the 20th century?

Maybe I just don't "get" his humor, but I don't think this guy is any good. I perfer comedians who tell jokes.

On the plus side, this guy is clean, which is rare these days. But there are better clean comedians around. Try getting a Brian Regan album or an Emo Philips album. Jerry Seinfelds album is good too. Try those guys because they're clean and legitimately funny.

TEARFULLY FUNNY.......2007-03-11

I have listened to this CD continuously. My husband and I laugh at him like we have just listened to it for the first time. It never gets old I can't wait for anything new he puts out, he is so funny.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-11

This guy is too funny!! We had heard him on satellite radio a few years back and were laughing so hard we couldn't drive, The we saw him on Comedy Central AND had to get this particular CD and glad that we did.

Funny, funny, funny.......2007-06-27

If you love comedy you need this CD. Rodney Carrington is one of the funniest comedians today. I also purchased his DVD "Rodney Carrington: Live at the Majestic". This DVD is his "King of the Mountain" album but the fact that you actually see him acting out the show makes it that much funnier. My favorite part is the "Chicken Song". If you get the DVD (which I highly recommend) it will keep you laughing long after you see it. Trust me you will want to watch it over and over again......... I know I did.

Another Good Collection.......2007-06-19

This is another entertaining collection of countrified humor from a man who mostly has one thing on his mind; that is the thing that most men have on their minds. He is self deprecating and usually funny. That's enough for me.

Rodney is also known for his songs. These are usually scattered throughout his albums but in this one, they are all concentrated at the end. First come the live performances and then there are some repeats using studio recordings.

Its not a bad collection

Absolutely hilarious!!! .......2007-06-11

This is one of the funniest CD's and/or albums I have ever listened to. I heard these live on tour but, I still laugh like crazy. Also, Angel Friend is a very touching tribute to his good friend and fellow comedian Barry Martin. The song actually brought me through a very bad time and gave me hope when I lost my best friend.

Funniest Man In Comedy!.......2007-06-05

I've watched this dvd 5 times already and could watch it 10 more...you will laugh the whole time its on!

All hail the return of novelty music's reigning king! Straight Outta Lynwood easily bests 2003's Poodle Hat and shows that Yankovic does know what he does best. Part of the secret to Weird Al's success is that he's never been very weird at all, and very rarely are his satires in any way "biting"--or even satires, really. The 11-minute parody of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" is funny at least for the first listen, but it's hard to ridicule something so largely ridiculous in the first place (plus Jimmy Kimmel totally got the jump on him). The best thing Mr. Yankovic has always done is to take some decent pop tune, change a word or phrase, invent an entirely new premise for the tune, and make an inspired video to go along with it. He does that several times here; Green Day's "American Idiot" becomes the hockey-obsessed "Canadian Idiot," and "White & Nerdy" is a truly inspired take on Chamillionaire's "Ridin'." That song (and video, included here on the dual-disc CD/DVD) is breakneck-paced and so funny it's a disservice to quote from it at all. "Polkarama!" is a return to W.A.'s novelty roots: a handful of mildly dated hit songs (50 Cent to Modest Mouse!) delivered in straight-ahead, sped-up polka style. It's toe-tapping and sweet. Hopefully we'll not have to wait three years for another Weird Al record. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

I almost died laughing........2007-06-28

I listened to this album for the first time tonight. Eleven years ago tonight, a friend got us tickets to a Weird Al concert. While driving home from the concert, we had a car accident and he died. After the first verse of "I'll Sue Ya," I seriously wondered if I might die laughing and join him!

I'll go through track by track:
White and Nerdy: Funny, I've heard this before so it didn't seem as new, but as a computer programmer I got a lot of good laughs. And I do hand-code HTML4!
Pancreas: Another novelty artist named Mindless Drug Hoover released a song with the same name and a similar concept. I wondered if by some weird hand of Eris, Weird Al had done the same song, but nope! He did something even more insane, even tying in things like gravity.
Canadian Idiot: I don't listen to much pop music, so haven't heard the originals, but another fun song making fun of racism. Everyone bags on Canadians anyway. One note: Weird Al even parodies the war.
I'll Sue Ya: Okay, here we go, definitely a favorite song. As said, after the first verse I wondered if I would join my friend, and if I could even handle a second verse! I did leave Earthlink, because I became dissatisfied with their tech support, so that struck a chord. Everyone has had issues with Verizon. And don't even mention New Jersey! I see this listed as an original song, but it sounds like a song done in the style of Rage against the Machine. Perfect! I really enjoy it when he doesn't parody a song per se, but parodies a group or style. This has always brought out his creativity. Sadly, some of the ridiculous things he yells out have actually happened (a guy sued someone for breaking his ankle while robbing his place.) I love this song!
Polkarama: Another classic Polka tune. As said I don't listen to much popular music, so for me these Polka songs provide a good insulated way to absorb the dirtier music of this time. I'll stick with these versions!
Virus Alert: Another great computer song! The main part would make a great sound alert. It has one of those catchy melodies and concepts that will just stay in your head for days, especially the next time your antivirus software alerts you with a new update! Virus Alert! (You could, of course, just use Linux, but we'll save that for another rant.)
Confession Part III: I don't know if he parodied a song here, or simply parodied the style of the current music, but either way he did a hilarious job. Every guy will love the last spoken line of the song.
Weasel Stomping Day: A little silly song, not much to say, but have fun!
Close but No Cigar: Okay, now I have a confession to make. I downloaded this album on bittorrent, and this song didn't play, so I did not hear it. I feel doubly glad I bought the CD.
Do I Creep You Out: Okay, I've heard the original, but can't put my finger on it. In a silly way, I consider this a song from every guy to every girl!
Trapped in the Drive Thru: I've heard the original referenced, and saw the South Park episode, an can imagine the original. This song treks in at around eleven minutes, and it does sort of go on, fut for me, this just added to the theme of the song, a tedius hunger-driven trip to the drive thru.
Don't Download this Song: A great capper for the album. Doubly funny since my downloaded copy missed a track, as if to underscore the point. It reminds me of the South Park episode which covered this theme. Buy my CD so I can afford a diamond-studded swimming pool. Classic!

In summary, I love this album, and consider it one of his best. I know my friend would have loved it too! Through various events, I know Weird Al as a very compassionate human being, and in his own way, a visionary.

It will have you ROTFLOL........2007-06-24

I've been a fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic for 24 years now. After all these years, he's still as funny as ever (or perhaps my sense of humor hasn't matured since I was a teenager). If you are a fan of Al, you pretty much know what you're going to get on an album; about an equal number of parodies and original songs, plus a polka medley of recent hits. Hey, it's a proven formula, so why mess with it? This is a very funny album. "White & Nerdy" is probably the funniest song, but all of them are at least somewhat funny. Go and buy the CD like you know that you should.

"Weird Al" comes "Straight Outta Lynwood" and right onto the Billboard charts.......2007-06-10

I picked up this CD because "Weird Al" Yankovic is coming to town and I have tickets to go with my daughters (do not tell them, but we have seats in the front row, just left of center so I can hear with my one good ear). When I was a kid most of the records I had were Smothers Brothers records, I had a teacher who played Spike Jones songs for us, my father taped several Allan Sherman albums for us, and in college I discovered Dr. Demento and Tom Lehrer (not necessarily in that order). So I am a big fan of musical parodies and there can be no doubt that Yankovic is the Shakespeare of that peculiar little niche of the music business. I consider "The Saga Begins" to be his magnum opus and in looking at his body of work what is impressive is not only his longevity but the way his work has improved from those early days when it was just him on accordion and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz banging on the accordion case.

It turns out that "Straight Outta Lynwood" is Yankovic's most successful album of all time and his most successful single with "White & Nerdy" making it all the way to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Eat It" was his previous top single which made it to #12). I still think "Running With Scissors" is his best album, but I am definitely heartened to know Yankovic is going strong. With albums coming out every three or four years he appears to have found his stride. There is the obligatory polka medley and several new style parodies, with "Pancreas" (Brian Wilson), "I'll Sue Ya" (Rage Against the Machine), "Virus Alert" (Sparks), "Close But No Cigar" (Cake), and "Don't Download This Song" (fundraiser songs). The surprise is that I liked the style parodies more than I did the parodies of particular songs, which is obviously turning my "Weird Al" universe upside down.

My only problem with this album is clearly my personal problem because with the exception of "Canadian Idiot" I had to look at the liner notes to find out which songs were parodies and which were originals. The fact that I had not heard (or perhaps only not remembered) "White & Nerdy" is a parody of "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire (featuring Krayzie Bone) was received with jaw-dropping astonishment by my daughters. I am down to recognizing only three songs out of 14 in the album's pokla medley, "Polkarama!" ("Let's Get it Started," "Don't Cha," and "Pon de Replay"). I had forgotten that Taylor Hicks had done "Do I Make You Proud," but I do not think I am alone in that regard. But I had no idea "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" is based on a R. Kelly song, although I did recognize Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" when it popped up.

Flip over the CD and you get to the DVD, which has animated videos for all of the original songs, namely: "Don't Download This Song," "I'll Sue Ya," "Virus Alert," "Close But No Cigar," "Pancreas" and "Weasel Stomping Day." The videos for "White & Nerdy," "Do I Creep Your Out," "Canadian Idiot," and "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" are all for parodies and for some reason that justified exclusion (insert pout here). The videos are followed by a short documentary that simply shows Yankovic and his band recording some of the songs and paying testament to his attention to detail. You can also listen to the entire album with the lyrics as subtitles, each song accompanied by a photograph of Yankovic from infancy to young adulthood (his parents liked the triple image option). Finally, you can do the karaoke function and get the music and the lyrics so you can sing the songs yourself. Consequently, there are enough extras here to justify rounding up on the disc overall.

Concert Update: So last night "Weird Al" came to town and as I suspected they set up two rows in the orchestra pit for winners of radio contests for tickets (sigh). But during one of the songs (that does not appear on any of the albums) he came down in the audience. Al was singing to the women in the audience but when he was walking in front of it was all dads and kids, so he sang to my oldest daughter (she just got accepted into the Peace Corp to go do what she wants to do where she wants to do it so she is having a good week). We also picked up over a thousand dollars in "Weird Al" money. For the record, he does complete versions of five songs from this album (1, 3, 4, 5, 9), excerpts from three more (7, 10, 11), and one music video (8).

Loved it!!.......2007-05-29

I'll be the first to admit that some of these songs DID NOT catch on with me right away!! In fact at first I thought this would be the first Weird Al Album I bought that I would not enjoy very much.... I WAS WRONG!!! After a few listens these songs really grew on me!!
I loved "White and Nerdy" straight away (I am White and Nerdy accorging to my wife) and the song nails a few asects of the nerd culture that I perssonally have seen or experienced so it was quite a treat!
"Pancreas" is an AWESOME tribute to Brian Wilson and his style of music (if you are too young to know who Mr. Wilson is....listen to the beach boys and check out some of his own albums).
I also thought "Canadian Idiot" was great!! Being a Floridian and knowing a bunch of seasonal Canadians it was rather funny and hit home!!
Close But No Cigar was an excellent song that was an abvious style parody of CAKE. Loved the words to the song and the little flaws that made him break up with each gorgeous woman!!
I could list reasons for liking all the songs but I don't want to take up too much space!! Let me just say that you will love this album as long as you give it a chance!!
Don't forget to visit Weird Al's website and get the free parody "You're Pitiful" (parody of "You're Beautiful") which was originally going to be on the album but was tanked at the last minute do to record company lawyers.

One more thing. This album is a dual disc. One side plays as a DVD the other as a CD. This disc MAY NOT play in certain drives or DC players so just be careful!!
The videos were hilarious though!!

"That's not why I bought this album".......2007-05-26

I'm here to tell ya, there are a lot very good reasons to buy this album. But most of them are not why I bought this album.

Sure Al's parodies are all great fun, but that's not why I bought this album. Sure this whole album is fraught with hilarity, but that's not why a bought this album. I didn't even buy this album because of all the cool video's included. IT'S THE MUSIC, MAN. That's why I bought this album. Can this Al guy sing or what - even if he is a little weird. (Although, I'm not too sure about the weird part, but that's what Al keeps telling everyone so I'll go along with it.)

Case in point; So there I was, sitting in my mini van at a red light, jamming to the music, not really paying any attention to the lyrics, just enjoying the sounds the band and singers were putting out. With my head bobbin' to the beat and hands drumming on the steering wheel, I noticed an elderly lady in the car next to me looking my way. She seemed to have an air of disdain about her at seeing a gentleman of my years acting like some dang fool kid. That very moment is when my ears picked up on the words "I blew my nose and wiped it on your cat". The lyric caught me totally off guard and I spontaneously burst into laughter. Seeing that, the lady snapped her head forward, stomped on the accelerator and speed through the red light trying to get away from that dang fool (being myself) as fast as she could.

Well, I guess that probably isn't why you should by this album either, but I can tell ya... This double CD sure is a lot of fun and you will absolutely enjoy the music.

This is one of the most AWESOME comedy CDs EVER. I put it in and I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Another reason it's great is it's completely clean, so anyone can listen to it. It is TOTALLY worth the money, so just buy it. You won't be sorry.

Great family-safe comedy.......2007-05-31

It is difficult to find comedy that can be played with the kids in the room/car that is both funny and understood by all in listening range. I highly recommend this artist.

Funny can be clean.......2007-05-21

Brian is an outstanding comedian. Very clean with exception of using the "H" word occasionally. He finds humor in real-life events and experiences. The content is funny enough, but his presentation adds considerably to the humor.

Brian Regan CD.......2007-05-16

Brian Regan is hilarious! His humor is clean and creative. He finds the comedy in the everyday occurances of life. I recommend listening to him when you need a good laugh. :)

Super Funny.......2007-05-13

Not a shock comic. Funny without being vulgar. Made me laugh, didn't make me ashamed.

Decent jokes, bad delivery.......2007-06-25

About half of the jokes on the CD were amusing, but the whole time I was listening to it I kept thinking that this could be really funny stuff in the hands of someone like Dave Attell. I think Hedberg was probably a good writer, but not a very good comedian.

He alluded to the fact that he was making a CD of the performance. It was very annoying when he played to the live audience, doing visual things and telling them that, ha-ha, the people listening on CD won't get this.

I cried when Mitch Hedberg died........2007-05-22

He was my absolute most favorite comic and I couldn't help it. I have never had anyone close to me die and I had seen Mitch in concert twice so really he is the closest person to me who has died. That is sad for me I know. Anyhow, this cd is awesome! Unlike his first cd, which is also great, this one has a little bit of a more uptempo delivery. He sounds like he kicked the drugs for a little while before he recorded this. With all the jokes being so short there are many many jokes on this disc. Not only that, but Mitch was the best when a joke bombed. If you listen to this you will find that out. I think he purposely put bombs in his act just for that very reason. I miss you Mitch. Hope you'll be telling me jokes in Heaven.

I just found out he died........2007-03-12

It's a shock,and a disappointment.If he was alive a little bit longer,he could've been huge.He had all the qualities I love in my favorite comedians,but did it his own way.You never heard anything like him.People try to compare him to Seinfeld and Stephen Wright,but I think that really discredits him.He was of his own genre.I mean who couldn't laugh at the imagery he created?Imagery is something many comedians fail in doing well...but Mitch gets it just right.If you like the sound samples amazon gives you,you'll love the full package.

Tragedy & Comedy perfectly entwined.......2007-02-18

This man is the comedy equivalent of Eva Cassidy, the beautiful songstress for whom international success came posthumously. The joy of listening to this genius of the fractured joke was revealed to me on a trip to the US in 2006, when my buddy played me his copy of SGL, the forerunner to MAT's gleamingly polished performance. I was pulled up short when I was told that Mitch had died some time before and feel that he was cheated of a more international following, as we were cheated out of enjoying his company for a few decades more.

If you can suspend the sentiment (which I can't) then this CD contains a brilliantly funny and very original collection of bizarre, but completely understandable, observations on life, love, consumer products and the purpose of sesame seeds.

Those of us who have heard you Mitch, we'll be spreading the word across different continents to make sure the world gets a chance to laugh with you and your friends. But how you'll be missed Mitch, how sadly you'll be missed.

Mitch Hedburg - Randomness at its best!.......2007-02-10

I must admit, I absolutely love the completely random one-liners and the laid-back cadence with which Mitch delivers his routines. This CD/DVD set was especially satisfying b/c the DVD does not contain the same material as the CD, and it has an uncut version of his Comedy Central special which included some of his jokes I'd never heard (I saw him live 3 times). If you've never listened to Mitch before, watch the DVD first to get an idea of what his routines are like.

This sentimentally over-the-top spoken-word recording was originally issued in 1973, during the height of Watergate and the final, unsettling days of the Vietnam War. In the wake of September 11, 2001, the John Wayne Estate reissued it on CD. And why not? Marion Morrison, a.k.a. John Wayne and the Duke, remains an enduring symbol of America--a country with an endlessly conflicted legacy of largely improvised symbolism, national myths, revised-on-a-dime history, and the freedom to make a buck on effusive patriotic rhetoric. Kitsch collectors may welcome the chance to own a true genre staple in digital sound, while others may yet find genuine solace in its orchestra-and-choir-backed oratory. With a poetic sensibility that seldom strays from the "Carolina pines/Appalachian mines" level of its opening verses, Wayne's processed voice (which betrays the health problems that would be his demise) expounds on topics that range from his homeland's undeniable natural beauty to his son's high school football career and the wisdom of a fictionalized aging Mexican caballero. The would-be idealism in "The Hyphen" aims to erase ethnic and racial boundaries, yet modern hyphenated Americans may find continued prejudice and the vagaries of history have rendered its rhetoric distinctly double-edged. Still, Wayne's love of country emanates from every track. Patriotism may be the last refuge of scoundrels, but it's been graciously hospitable to Hollywood icons, from the Duke to Dutch Reagan. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

This best-selling recording was performed by the legendary John Wayne. It's finally available as Duke's spoken-word CD of poetry, written by Big John Mitchum. It's a must-have for all patriotic Americans, film buffs, collectors and poetry fans.

Customer Reviews:

John Wayne's America.......2007-07-14

As a teacher of American History, I am always on the lookout for ways to inspire American allegiance in my fifth graders. My grown son told me about his own 5th grade teacher playing John Wayne's "America, Why I Love Her." Now that I have found and listened to the recording, I see why my son still remembers it (after 20 years!) This recording should be a part of every American History unit.

Let the Duke speak for himself.......2007-07-12

I bought this for my father, age 75, because I knew that his generation still appreciates a truly American perspective on things. The only negative is the description on the Amazon website that seems to almost apologize for selling this product due to its old fashioned content. The writer of that review is likely the type of bedwetting liberal that the Duke was talking about. Great product, timeless and true message.

John Wayne, Why I Love Him........2007-06-27

Had this in LP. Lost it to hurricane Katrina. Now I have it in CD. Don't always agree with him but since he's gone I had to have it. To my knowledge the only recording he ever made. Worth owning just for that fact.

The Duke says it all!.......2007-05-03

J. W. tells it like it is, and stirs the patriotism in every red-blooded American heart! A must have for fans of The Duke!

The Duke lives.......2007-02-16

I was glad to see this come out in CD format. I wore out my cassette version years ago. This is one of the most patriotic recordings ever. If you don't get emotional listening to this you need to relook you sense of pride in being an American.

Dane Cook is a Legend.......2007-07-04

Dane Cook is the best young comedian in the World today. I have seen him Live in Dublin, where he blew Denis Learys reputation to shreds and have listened to his Cd's many times. Just buy them both, he delivers solid comedy performances, no more promotion required, this guy is the real deal.

I'm really puzzled by the volume of 5-star reviews here..........2007-07-03

I generally find myself agreeing with the reviewing majority on comedy albums, but I just don't get the over-the-top adulation of Dane Cook--at least as evidenced by this album. I listened to this album again, to make sure my initial reaction wasn't a fluke, and I found the material and delivery to be very average. Upon reflection, the problem with this album is that the delivery doesn't match the material. Much of his comedy consists of Seinfled-like observations, yet his delivery is usually manic and profanity-laden, providing way too much emphasis on a very small bit of humor.

Some of the bits are funny--I particularly liked the segment on the Satanic voice emanating from the old Speak 'n Spell--but I found him to spend much of his time ranting and swearing over things that weren't all that creative or funny. Sorry to go against the pack on this one, but for the life of me I can't understand why 90% of the reviewers could give this album five stars. (For whatever it's worth, comics I do like include early George Carlin, Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and the Sklar Brothers.)

AN EXCELLENT SET ! THE DVD HAS SOME OF HIS BEST STUFF!.......2007-06-24

I am a long time fan of Dane Cook. Before he became so popular,he was a little known comic with a fresh quirkyness about him. He is no Carlin or Pryor,but the guy is funny in a goofy kind of way! This CD/DVD combo is a great deal for some very funny sets.

Dane Fan.......2007-04-12

Its typical Dane but then again whats typical about him. I pop this cd in at work and just laugh the entire day. He has some real intersting outlooks on situations but for the most part all of us have thought the same way one time or another. I love it and him!

Good, but overrated.......2007-04-09

Dane Cook isn't a comic genius, that's a fact. There are much better comics out there but to give this cd only one star is ridiculous. The guy has some good stuff. Many of the negative 1 star reviews even say they enjoyed some of his jokes, so then it's not really worth one star then is it? So do yourself a favor and check this cd out, but if you're new to the world of comedy keep in mind their are much better comedians out there.

Customer Reviews:

Family loves it!.......2007-07-10

We bought tickets to the 'Go' concert so we bought the CD so we would know the new Newsboys songs. It has turned into our favorite CD.

Great CD.......2007-07-05

I'm an old-school Newsboys fan who was a bit disappointed that they spent so much time making retreds of other people's music on "Adoration" and "Devotion". One reason that I love the Newsboys older music like "Breakfast" and "Take me to your leader" is for the brilliantly witty lyrics by Steve Taylor. I'm dating myself, but I was a fan of his solo career, and I've never heard lyrics to top those on "I want to be a clone". Teaming up with the musical powerhouse of the Newsboys was a superb combination. So I am glad to hear them recording their own music again, and these songs have blessed me a lot. "In Wonder" is a better worship song than any from their last two albums. "Go" is the great commission put to modern rock. And "Your love is better than life" is classic Newsboys fun with a solid message.

Something beautiful~yeah, yeah!:).......2007-06-17

"Here's..to....the Lover of my soul!!" Amen.

Newsboys have done it again!.......2007-06-07

Newsboys have always been known for their great hooks, quirky lyrics, and their ability to make one heck of an album, Go is no exception, combine the musical talents from thrive, the dance beat from Not Ashamed, and the great lyrics from take me to your leader and you get GO! GO could be their best album to date!

Brilliant.......2007-06-01

I did not discover the Newsboys until Thrive came out, and even then I was not fully impressed. This is not to say I didn't like Thrive, in fact it is now one of my overall favorites, but at the time I had other musical priorities.

Go changed it for me. I listen to a Newsboys CD almost every day now, and 90% of that time it is Go. This album is wonderful...every song is good in its own way, and they are all rather unique. The lyrics are great (come on..."where we're led all the living dead wanna leave their zombie mob"...How do they think that stuff up?). Most of the songs keep you singing along and bobbing your head, all of them have a good message, and the slower songs (such as "In Wonder") make you want to praise this glorious God they are singing about.

I've heard they have returned to their roots musically. I cannot confirm or deny it.

As a side note, the concert promoting this CD was stellar. If you have a chance, see it!
