5 out of 5 stars Laugh Along With Yazbek.......2005-04-20

If you like catchy, hook-oriented pop music, then David Yazbek's Laughing Man is for you. This magnificent album forces you to tap your foot and sing along. The crappy cover art belies the excellent tunes within. Check out "Black Cowboys" and "The One-Armed Man". This album's a real find.

Get it!

Great hooks, witty lyrics and a better voice than Any (not that Andy needs a voice coach)Nearly every song has moments of brilliance. My only complaint is that at times he is trying too hard to be XTC. A noble affliction that many artists should be lucky enough to suffer from. I have ordered Tok and am sure I will not be dissapointed. A genius on the rise.

5 out of 5 stars Dear Reader, buy this CD!.......2000-08-30

A great record! If the world were just, we'd all be looking at David Yazbek's bare midriff instead of Britney Spears'. OK, perhaps that's not such a good idea...but, I'm tellin' you, this CD is a keeper (as is "Tock"). If you like one or more of: XTC, Aimee Mann, Crowded House, Prefab Sprout, then I guarantee this CD is for you!

5 out of 5 stars MORE, YAZBEK! PLEASE GIVE US MORE!.......2000-07-11

This is about as good as it gets. The Holy Grail for all of us fans of intelligent pop music. Better than XTC. Better than Ben Folds. Stream-of-consciousness wordiness ala Paul Simon. I can't decide if I should recommend this disc above it's follow-up disc, TOCK. What the heck, order them both, NOW. IT'S BEAUTIFUL FUN! What more can I say?
