Free Music Notes for Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome
Free Music Review: Hilarious
Hit: 5 Stars
Maria Bamford has the ability to be a total freak, yet somehow connect to a mainstream audience. How does she do it? I don't know, but being really good at impersonations helps...Free Music Review: Great Album and Funniest Web Series of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
The album is great, solid, wonderful, quirky material.
The series is video is the funniest thing ever put on the web. It's just genius.

Hit: 4 Stars
Maria Bamford is easily one of the best comedians working but you won't get much out of this album without her first two albums as a reference. Her material on the first two albums How to Win! and The Burning Bridges Tour have more belly laughs but this one is the most endearing if you've developed a soft spot for this talented and under-rated comic. Maria Bamford's obvious strength is the wide array of voices she used in her act but I think her "dark" material, when she lets herself use it, is unforgtettable. "Do you recognize this wallpaper? It's your baby's skin!" and "long shirts ladies, am I right?" I really hope she gets a CD together where she really lets loose and doesn't worry about the audience's sensitivity!
The best track on the CD is the last one where she dissects a "normal" comedy routine in a way that only a professional comic could, but the track detailing the horrors of pug rescue is easily a close second. The CD also comes with a bonus disc, the complete run of "The Maria Bamford Show" and it is great low-budget fun. The standout episode (#10 Dark) features the song "Don't be afraid of the dark", which I really hope makes it to the next CD.
Free Music Review: You either get it or you don't.

I do. Maria Bamford is not the kind of comedian to do setup/punchline material most of the time. She is more abstract and sometimes surreal. I like the risks she takes! Maria is the right kind of weird. She and Patton Oswalt are my new favorite comedians.
