Negative Positive
Title: depressing
Review: I have all of George's albums, this being the last one I bought. And I'm certain this is the least funny. I went through long stretches without being the slightest amused. In fact, these stretches (mostly in tracks 3-5 and 7, talking about suicide, hopelessness and the awful behavior of the human race) were downright depressing. George normally talks about depressing topics, but on this album there are no funny asides or humorous points of view -- so that all that's left are the depressing facts. Throw in his normal "glass half-empty" point of view (which is OK when he's being funny) and you realize he's making these topics more depressing than they really are. Some of the other tracks are enjoyable, like when he talks about "Dumb Americans", but overall this album is hard to take.
Is the review positive or negative?
