Music reviews of Modern Scream

Music Review: classic Tomlin at her best
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a rare album that is really worth owning--that is, if you are able to find it. Lily Tomlin is nothing short of a comedic GENIUS. The way she juxtaposes and layers the dialogues between her characters is HYSTERICAL and cutting edge. An example of her zany characters, being Lucille, the rubber freak. Though, she comes across as a modern day alcoholic, the woman has actually been covering an addiction to pencil erasers, the rubber backing on rugs and raincoats for YEARS. Does it sound weird? Well, it is, but it is weird in one of those delightfully authentic, ironic Lily Tomlin ways. What's more, this album shows off her talent for conveying the sadness of celebrity (when she plays herself, being interviewed by a journalist with a high pitched voice, also played by Tomlin), as well as a high octane sorority sister (amongst others).

Though, this album has been around for a few decades, at this point, it comes off as timeless and a current time capsule glimpse into the manic comic gifts of Lily Tomlin.
