Music reviews of The End Of The Universe
Music Review: Starbucks, MTV, Britney Spears, W,- Lewis Black covers all the bases on this record.
Rating: 4 Stars
I suppose it's worth mentioning that, like any comedy record, your enjoyment of 'The End of the Universe' will be somewhat related to your ability to stomach the comedian's voice. Though not as...ahem...unique as, say Bobcat Goldthwait's, Lewis Black does have a specific, some might say gravelly voice. It may be an aquired taste, but I personally enjoy all of Lewis' vocal inflections.
But really what matters is the material, which is particularly strong on this release. A major theme of the first quarter of the disc is how anyone with the ability will turn a buck without a second thought to the artistic or cultural consequences. The absutdity of aging 'classic' rockers Aerosmith performing at the Super Bowl half time show with, of all people Nsync and Britney Spears, and the insane number of Starbucks coffee shops is addressed (by the way, the Universe has at least two ends-the other is in the next town from where I live where two Starbucks' reside directly across the street from each other). Even Lewis quips that he has thought of opening a gun shop and advertising on the billboards that appear above Atlanta's nightmarish traffic.
Lewis, being a topical comic, addresses issues such airport security in the wake of September 11, the government, and weather, and the Weather Channel.
While sure to offend some, Lewis definetely has a point-the absurd amount of money it took the government to let folks know they were going to recieve a 'surplus' check in the mail, Bush's reasoning for not signing the Global Warming Treaty, apparently because '...he doesn't have any SKIN!' And really, is it necessary to search old ladies in wheelchairs, or single mothers at airport check points?
Description of The End Of The Universe
The follow-up to 2000?s highly successful, ?The White Album.? This album was recorded just before September 11, 2001, and as a result needed to be re-recorded. Lewis waxes eloquent about patriotism and airport security and needing to re-record an album. The rampage continues?Alternative Rock CDs
