Music reviews of It's Not Funny

Music Review: Misleading title
Rating: 5 Stars

Because it's one of the most pleasing comedy albums I've ever bought, from perhaps the most promising comedian of this generation. After buying his last album (over 2 hours long and VERY well worth picking up in addition to this release), I emitted a little a little "Hell yeah!" upon seeing I'd moseyed into the local CD boutique and saw a modest poster advertising the release and rushed over to the comedy section to secure my copy (sadly, they were all sold out of Rock Against Bush Vol. 1, which would couple this nicely).

Listening to David's latest album, a number of this struck me awed that did not from his previous works. The most major of which is that he did not repeat ANY of the material from his massive last album, which is uncanny with most comic albums. Usually with concerts released within a few years of each other, the best jokes will pop up and overlap. Not here.

The other thing that amazed me was how much more fluent his speaking and segues were. David's style of stand-up is the self-admitted "drunken-ramble", in which he stands on stage with a beer in hand and just talks. On his first CD, there were a lot of static "y'know"s and "um"s, but much less so here. Maybe he wasn't drinking as much, maybe he had a better planned set, but whatever the case, it feels like he's sitting with you at a bar having a conversation. This is very admirable and makes the album feel more personable than some other comics'.

The material now is in a similar vein as his other stuff. Stupid people, racism, new products ("THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!!"), and, of course politics. I might get lynched for saying this, but I think I see another Bill Hicks budding in this bespeckled man. His political views are harsh, somewhat conspiritorial, and always witty and cunning. Oh, and backed by facts. David's a very smart man and researches his material carefully. Unlike a certain government he admonishes about thier terrorisms detectoring skills. Nearly everything had me in stitches, even his non-sequitors and improvised material.

(My favorite bit on the whole CD was when a fan invited him to a concert, to which David replies, "I've got to stay in my hotel cut out up a few newspapers. A recipe for brown betty, a really funny "Family Circus". P.J. Mispronounces 'spaghetti'. He calls it 'pasketti' and -- get this -- he calles 'meatballs' 'meatBULBS'!! That's why it's going up on the fridge!" The whole thing came off the top of his head and is so fluid and seriously-delivered it slays.)

Also of note is that the CD contains a newspaper article about a Howard Dean benefit for which several anti-Bush comics performed. The article is biased and slanted (the reporter obviously is a member of the GOP) and David annotates it with clarity, cutting through the rhetoric and lies with grace and humor. A very nice touch.

If you liked this CD, try David's previous release "SHUT UP, YOU (Naughty Word) BABY!", Bill Hicks's "Rant in E-Minor", or Dennis Miller's "The White Album" (before he became Bush's pony boy). Vice versa, if you liked any of the above albums or comics, try this release.

If you DIDN'T like it ... well, perhaps you should be concentrating on the economy and the gas-prices so high that one would think it was Yahweh's sweat, Mr. President.
