[.ca] End Of The Universe

The master of catching news that falls through the"cracks":
It's Lewis Black... LEWIS FREAKIN' BLACK, you people!!! This guy stays pissed off more than I do, and it's fun to listen to him rant! Get a listen, and see if you don't agree...

The Smartest Man in the Universe:
No doubt about it, Lewis is brilliant. He's the only guy out there who makes you laugh and think at the same time, and doesn't take himself seriously like lame-ass comics do. Clearly, this man is destined for greatness. Trouble is, we'd like to keep him to ourselves! Do yourself a favor and watch his DVD or catch him on Comedy Central -- his gestures and facial expressions are value-added and would easily garner him 10 stars if Amazon would allow an exception! I love you, Lew!

Possibly his best album!:
I say that "The End of the Universe" is 'possibly' his best album, as I'm tossed between this second opus from the angry genius and his first offering "The White Album." Lewis is back for another round and this time, he's ticked off. Okay, every time he's back he's ticked off. :-) He takes on subject like the weather, Starbucks, Atlanta traffic and overpopulation, politics and politicians, the SuperBowl half-time show, religion, humor, and of course the occasional side-bar rant. He also touches a good deal on 9-11, but even considering his angry-comic reputation, he does this and all other bits with extraordinarily good taste and respect. He does not ever offend the audience for any lack of patriotism, but does point out the over-patriotic people who are making our anthems tired. Again, good taste is used and he makes some strong points about ourselves, our country, and our lifestyles. Yes, he touched on the Weather Channel in the first album, but it's all new material this time. Every time I've heard him discuss the weather, each time it's fresh. I don't think he knows how to use old jokes anymore, as he's always topical and moving ahead with his act. If you're a fan of comedy, angry or not, this album should definitely belong on your shelves. For those that have children or are offended by foul language, be warned, this album is full of banned public radio words, if you know what I mean. Just so I don't get blamed for recommending this and you happen to find out later. ;-) Otherwise, enjoy heartily!

I've been to the end of the universe:
this is a very funny CD. When I heard the joke about the two starbucks across the street from each other I crapped my pants, because I live around the corner from the end of the universe(the 2 starbucks). I have been to both starbucks and have always wondered why there were two of them, now I know.

Black in Top Form!!:
There isn't anybody in the business of comedy who can rant and rage on like Lewis Black. He's an angry man who isn't afraid to dish out his opinions to others in a funny and entertaining way. "The End of the Universe" is a hilarious performance from an extremely talented comic. Always dishing out the topical humor, he talks about September 11 and the events that took place afterwards. He rants about airport security and the absurdity of the Super Bowl half-time shows. Pepsi and Coke are not safe as he unleashes a full attack on their more-then-ridiculous ads. And let's not forget, he tells us all why this is truly "The End of the Universe." I absolutely enjoyed listening to this live performance. Black's humor is quick, sharp, and is always on target. He's not afraid to point out the stupidity that can be found everywhere in society. The man is very talented when it comes to topical humor. You can tell that a lot of hard work goes into each of his acts. And while his act is very funny, it is also provocative. He makes a lot of good points that gets your mind thinking. Very rarely do we get to see a comic that can make us laugh and think at the same time. A word of warning, though; the man likes to swear. If you're not a fan of offensive language, then this is not the CD for you. Lewis Black's "The End of the Universe" is an extremely funny comedy album that is bound to get more than a few laughs out of you. If you're a fan of his previous works, then it is highly recommended that you check this CD out. Lewis Black continues to be a very funny and raging comic who knows no limits or boundaries. -Michael Crane
