i usually never go this far with anyone but id feel very confident and safe to say that bill hicks was the most enjoyable, hilarious, serious, dedicated, and the list goes on and on person in comedy.  id rate all 4  albums with a 5 star easy, but i figured this album would attract most  people due to the connection to the band tool and various other outlets.  the man, in my mind, was a virtually unknown legend.  his comedy was dark,  yet cloaked with so much optimism.  he was brutal at times for sure but  this man was devoted and loved the art.  he's the guy who people either a.  don't take serious,which is understandable because he was in fact a  "comedian" but thats a title like any other occupation or b. they  were just too offended by him.  the fact is folks many truths are very  disgusting and disturbing but someone has to deal with them.  the album has  bits of music bill and others created on it throughout the album as well.  in short, this album and the rest of the albums available are a breath of  fresh air in my opinion.  its good to know theres people out there like  him.  sorry so long and thanks for the time.  peace to all
