Average Rating:
 Rating: - "I wanna tell you something about words..."If you're only familiar with George Carlin through his aggressive, vitriolic, and occasionally vicious latter-day material, early work like Class Clown may come as something as a surprise. On first listen, the album seems almost mild mannered. Not only is it free of the machine gun profanity that would come to mark the comedian's style, but the material itself is a far cry from the raw cynicism that would inform You Are All Diseased and Brain Droppings: The first track, for example, is an epic recollection of Carlin's schoolboy antics, full of cheeky observations on knuckle cracking, funny voices, and armpit noises. The whole thing captures him in a seemingly friendly, genial mood. Of course, Carlin was never innocent. He always had a dirty ...

This was the the album that established Carlin as the best comedian since Lenny Bruce. Is is amazing that when this was released his Seven Words You Can't Say on TV sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Compared to some of the comedians appearing on HBO, this is extremely tame. Also extremely gut wrenching funny! I loved the bits about the novelty shop with the artificial vomit and the Catholic school stories are hilarious even for those of us who went to public school. A true masterpiece! Rating: - Great StuffThis is when Carlin was at his best, pointing out the ridiculousness (sp?) of modern life without falling into angry rants every couple of secons. The "7 Words" segment is one of the best bits of comedy EVER! Listen to this and his other material that pre-dates "You're All Diseased". Here we can listen to a comic genius in his prime, before he became a preacher. I rank this CD up there with "No Cure for Cancer" and other comically brilliant stand-up routines. Rating:  - FunnyThis guy doesn't quite get life, but his logical mind makes some great observations about inconsistencies and things most of us have not noticed. What an imagination. I saw Carlin in Minneapolis in 1987. The experience was worth the money. There is no one like Carlin. Rating: - another .......... review "thing-a-ma-bobber " In this album, you will find that George talks a lot about naughty stuff, and probably some you might not even "get". George grew up in New York if it means anything to you. Preferably, my favorite material on here is where he acts like a guy in a confessional with Father Rivera, and "Sharing A Swallow". You probably won't find this in stores because of how old it is, but if you ARE lucky enough to find it, or get it from Amazon.com, you will be glad you did, C-3PO! |
