4 out of 5 stars Beau Sia is an experience!.......2007-03-25

I'm not sure why there are as many negative reviews as there are. This may not be Beau's best renditions of his poems, but he is without a doubt a poetic force, who not only writes vividly, but his delivery and performance enhances his message like no other. He is full of energy and pathos. His live performances are intense. Beau will take you on a ride you will enjoy. Again these are perhaps not the best renditions of Beau Sia's works... but thats only because Beau is meant to be experienced live and in person.

5 out of 5 stars Too bad this is out of print..........2003-12-24

...cause now I can't buy it for people and impress them by saying "I know this guy!" Oh, well.... you may still be able to get this CD and his second one, "Dope and Wack," at his website: www.beausia.com. You may be able to get his book there too. Good luck! :) -mjl from okc

5 out of 5 stars Mc poetry my mcnugget.......2003-03-07

Yes Beau Sia is a poet, yes he is damn good at what he does and yes this is an attempt to bring poetry into the mainstream, and whats wrong with that. Everybody could use a little honest art now and then. That often means making it funny, god forbid. If you don't like it go read the Bitter Oleander and forget to take your medication. Long ago poetry was invented as a way to help remember important stories and cultural myths. To stick it in the heads of the masses using rhyme and meter. Poetry is supposed to appeal to a wide base, and it is sad that the small press is what it is restricted to now.
I must say Beau going off live is much better than this cd for sure, but either way you must see in the stand up comedy stylings, the art.

1 out of 5 stars Schlockoetry.......2001-12-15

Strictly for the pre or post-adolescent. Unless you are from ten to twenty five years old and prefer your culture honest and real. Ever since the collapse of the 'poetry boom' of the early 1990's most publicity about spoken poetry has had to cope with those who think the BIG NEW IDEA for poetry is to make it into consumer entertainment. As if entertainment were an idea at all. The result is a whole generation of young writers, or those who think they are, copping to the schlock school of poetry. This recording is a perfect example. Throw away what talent you have, and Sia has some, and conform to an homogenous style easily consumed for its cynical self-deprication of talent. Once 'poets' found out that on a stage any loud yell, vulgar phrase, heavy hand gesture or pop-social cliche would get a rise out of a crowd a whole new category of sub-poetry became obligatory for them. Forget about themes, this type of poetry replaces them with 'issues.' Forget about poetry for that matter, in favor of really, really bad acting on a stage. Much of this is the outcome of the rise of poetry 'slams', the preferred format for the adolescent dream of being a contest winner who gains admiration from fans and then is able to pretend he is a celebrity. So this recording is full of adenoidal vocals, superficial ideas dressed up in hormonal angst or greeting card sentimentality. Of course there is a lot of heavy handed humor that is ingratiating and begs for you to identify with its stage wink. By all means spend your money on this recording if you want a good example of how this vein of self-promotion, testosterone strangled writing chops and 'get a load of me on stage while I act foolish' can get fronted as poetry. Oh, yes, and there is musical accompaniment, mostly canned studio engineering, that is worthy of any teevee commercial for youth junk-culture. The only other reason to spend money on this is because you want to hang around for a few years and watch the poet's progress to see if he will ever overcome himself. If you are that sympathetic.

This is strictly for 13 year old girls who like their "poetry" in little bite size MTV-deep-fried morsels. Sounds like someone gave any high school kid who just got into "spoken word" by way of Henry Rollins a tape recorder and a terrible producer and said, "Hey, dude, make your opus magnum!" PPPHHHHFFFFTTTTDDD!!!
