Free Music Notes for Werewolves and Lollipops (W/DVD)

Free Music Review: Simply outstanding
Hit: 5 Stars

All comedians are different, and all appeal to different tastes. You may not care for Patton Oswalt. You might like Jim Gaffigan instead (their styles, subjects, and language are very different), and that is fine. I happen to like both. I also like Lewis Black, but I'm not too particular. So whatever I might say about this album, the best thing for you to do is listen to one or two of his bits yourself.

However, if you are already a fan of his or have seen him interviewed and thought he was as sidesplittingly hilarious as I did, you should probably buy this album.

I say this because this is Patton at his best. If you are a fan there is a good chance this album will meet your expectations or even exceed said expectations. "Werewolves and Lollipops" compares favorably with the best of Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Rodney Dangerfield and all the best comedians of yesteryear.

Needless to say, an album of this caliber puts Dane Cook and the rest to shame. Patton has a unique way of looking at the absurd in our society, from highly unhealthy smorgasbords of starch to quirky, prestigious liberal arts schools. His take on things is somewhere between insane and sheer genius. Maybe that is why I like it.

My favorite bits: America Has Spoken, Clean Filth, The Miracle of, Childbirth, 20 Birthday Parties, Physics for Poets, George Lucas, Death Bed, Cirque du Soleil. In my opinion, the first half of the disc is arguably better. Once again, this is all dependent on relativism.

Buy the album. You'll love it.

Werewolves and Lollipops (W/DVD) Poster

Patton has been a stand-up comedian for almost twenty years and this is his second CD. Lazy...or maybe busy. He's appeared in over twenty movies, including "Magnolia", "Reno 911!: Miami", and the documentary "The Comedians Of Comedy", which he also created and produced. He played Spence on "The King Of Queens" for nine seasons, is a regular on "Reno 911!", a frequent guest on Conan and Jimmy Kimmel, and a recurring voice actor on "Kim Possible", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", and "Crank Yankers". He's a regular columnist in the NY Times Magazine and was an uncredited writer on the "Borat" movie. He's also the lead voice in this summer's Pixar movie, "Ratatouille", playing a rat named Remy. This is his first CD on Sub Pop and it includes a DVD with one hour of stand-up.
On his second "solo" album, this stand-up comic and character actor proves himself to be not just a foul-mouthed everyman and an unrepentant geek, but a rather awesome wordsmith as well. That a comedian might rant about how "Cirque du Soleil is like catnip for old people" or the ridiculous unhealthiness of a popular item at the fast food chain KFC is not surprising. That he'd call the fast food item "a failure pile in a sadness bowl" is, let's face it, pure poetry (and really, actually funny the way he tells it). On the track "I Tell a Story About Birth Control and Deal with a Retarded Heckler," Patton displays some of the finest manipulation of a disturbing audience member you'll ever hear. That the album was released by Sub Pop makes perfect sense, as Patton not only has Catholic music tastes--tossing off references to Hasil Adkins, the Pixies, Minor Threat, and Roky Erickson--but as we all know, stand-up is "the new grunge." --Mike McGonigal
