Customer Reviews:
Thoughtful, frightening, funny, and overall brilliant.......2002-01-29
This was my first jello biafra spoken word cd I have ever purchased, and it is truly amazing. Jello molds his sarcastic humor, intelligence, and capacity to think all into one great album. The first cd is probably the funniest, with things like 'Half-Time,' 'Depends on the Drug,' and 'Clinton comes to Long Beach.' But the talks on the death penalty and the space shuttle are true, and consequently scary as hell. The New Soviet Union is my favorite part of the first disc, and again is frightening, the comparisons that Jello makes.
The second disc is on censorship but covers a wide variety of topics. A lot of it is about the media and how politicians and whoever are trying to censor cds and shows even more.
The last disc is my favorite. The first and longest track is mainly about prisons, and some of the horrifying statistics and reports about them. Then comes 'Wake up and Smell the Noise.' It is truly a brilliant track, about 20 minutes of intelligence, thought, and everything you would want in a political type speech. I won't ruin it, however, but this cd is definitely worth buying. It will make you think, make you laugh, and is a must-listen for anybody even slightly interested.
Amazing- made me Wake Up and Smell the Noise.......2002-01-22
I am a huge Dead kennedys fan, and am very fond of Jello's sarcastic, biting ideas and sense of humor. But this album, being my first JB spoken word album, really astounded me. Jello pulls you in immediately ( 'Watch a tv news report with the sound off...' ), and keeps you hooked throughout the disc. I listened to the whole thing all one night, because I litterally could not put my cd player down and stop. By the end it was like 1:00 and I was exhausted and amazed. Everything he says is so true and relates so much to our lives that its almost scary. Jello Biafra is truly one of the great revolutionaries of our time (up their with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn). Anyway, I can't wait to pick up Become the Media and I Blow Minds for A Living, and any radical activist, punk, anarchist, or hell, ANYBODY, should listen to this awesome album. It will pull ya in and open your eyes whether or not you want to. Great stuff.
Great Artistic Album.......2001-07-10
This was an amazing comeback for Biafra. After a long vacation, Biafra came back with this new 3 CD set, and he sure had a lot to say.
This album was more about his artistic "1984"-like visions than anything else. Much like his first album, Biafra dishes out more horrific visions and terrifying truths.
This album is worth the small price you'll pay. It's entertaining, and even a few years later, it's quite informative.
the truth.......2000-10-24
With this release by Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys it seems that his mind is only getting sharper. The only problem with this album is that it is all true! And he has had to see the hands of censorship upon him with Dead Kennedys.
some good material , but not always.......2000-08-13
Biafra talks about some very important issues that are funny , and frightening , but his voice is very irritating , and sometimes he drags on & on and forgets what he is talking about.
