Do yourself a favor: Save your money and get more laughs by buying "Bring the Pain" and "Bigger and Blacker" instead.


Hilarious, but some falls short of expectations   April 5, 2002

I have laughed many an hour away with this album. However, some of the short bits fall short of the standup maestro that he is. Variety? Sure, there's variety, but something just doesn't work with the non-standup bits. They are funny, just not as top notch as aforementioned. I do agree that Chris Rock -is- the funniest man in America. Enjoy!


I am sure he sounds better on stage   August 15, 2001

Chris Rock is surely one powerful comedian, but this CD does not do him justice. There are too many studio-mixed tracks, too much auxiliary stuff beside his straightforward stand-up act, but it is Chris Rock talking that you want to hear, not annoying interference of second-grade content that is equivalent to warm-up artist at a superstar's concert.

His texts are impeccable, delivery is powerful with finely judged rhytm. It is this rhytm that captivates and brings you to the climax of laughter.


There are really good parts in this but.........   June 23, 1999

I love Chris Rock but I think that the skits were a bit much and he could just stick to the standup. It was cool though. The parts that were funny were ridiculously funny and I could listen to them over and over again

The "live" segments of the CD are really good, but, I could have done without the tracks in between. If you cut those out, the other 1/2 of the CD (actual "live" recording instead of the skit-type tracks) it's really funny.
