Music reviews of Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden

Music Review: The Knicks aren't the only thing that sucks at MSG!
Rating: 2 Stars

To begin, I want to state that I wish to be fair to Dane Cook in this review. Here's why it's necessary: Take all 6 billion people on the planet. Now, subtract every person who has never heard of Dane Cook. Next, subtract Dane Cook.

What's left is a population that can be divided into three groups.

1. People who say things such as "oh my god! Dane Cook is like the best comedian, like ever!" People who think the man is a comic genius. And yes, when they declare opinions to the effect of Dane's shocking potency on the microphone, 9 times out of 10, they will unnecessarily include the word "LIKE." Folks, you are entitled to your opinion. But you're opinion is wrong, I'm sorry, it is. The first question I want to ask them is "and how many comedians do you know?"

2. People who arbitrarily LOATHE Dane Cook and everything about him, insisting there is absolutely NOTHING funny about the man and that every time you buy one of his albums a child in Sudan dies. They hate him for the sake of hating him. These folks are also wrong and unfair. Face it, the guy has been entertaining, accept it.

3. Reasonable folks. I'm in this category, or at least I try to be. I know there are WAY better comedians out there. Patton Oswalt, Todd Barry, Mike Birbiglia, Lewis Black, Carlin, etc. all far superior. But Dane is entertaining. He's made me laugh and I'm OK with that.


Now, with that said ... I WANTED TO LIKE THIS ALBUM. I WANTED IT TO BE GOOD ... mainly because it cost me money. I wasn't EXCITED to get the new DC album, I bought it cuz it was 10 bucks at Beast Buy.

I listened to it and I'm sorry, it's really awful. Really, it's dire, almost a complete abomination. I didn't laugh audibly once and trust me, I wanted to!! I was bored with it. He's just not a great comedy WRITER. Pointlessly and needlessly vulgar at times. Pointless sex humor with no real clever hook to it. The humor was really run of the mill.

And I'll add that I don't like comedy albums recorded in large venues. Small club recordings are better, period. To disagree with that statement is to be wrong. With that said, of all the large venue comedy recordings I've heard, THIS IS THE WORST HANDS DOWN!!

Understand this: I'm a pacifist. I have Amish blood in me, this is a fact. I'm not a violent person. But I want to murder every person who was in that audience in alphabetical order. Clueless. Pointless. Senseless. Just perfectly unnecessary screaming. It wasn't laughter, it was a bunch of idiots screaming in idolatry. In the 60s it would be idiot girls seeing the Beatles. In the late 90s it would be idiot girls seeing the Backstreet Boys or N*Suck. Mindless screaming without any real appreciation for the ACTUAL PERFORMANCE, only for the Golden Calf there on stage, to be in its presence and bow to it, risking the wrath of almighty God himself!! ... yes, scream, worship, obey. Just don't look to me for help when Moses comes strolling down Mt. Sinai to shove the ten commandments up your tail sideways.

Really, I think there were some folks in that audience who had no clue why they were laughing at any given point. And I kept hearing the same voices over and over screaming inanely. Whatever credibility Dane's performance might have had, the crowd just kills it and in very painful fashion. Could nothing have been done about that noise on CD? Sure, but we want the listeners to know that everyone in that building was totally marking out to the almighty Dane Train as it derailed in the Big Apple. Can't have anyone not be painfully aware of that, can we?

This album made my colon constrict. It's that bad.
