The "dirty old man" guise wears thin July 19 2004
Format:Audio CD
George can do SO much better than this. In fact, his prior album, You Are All Diseased, was largely brilliant. This new one provides a Carlin as distant from (for instance) the Carlin on the insightful, provocative Jammin' in New York as the one who did Toledo Window Box was from the Playin' With Your Head guy.

I don't think he's out of material. I think he's far from the end of the line, and should now surprise everyone by re-blossoming the way he did in the '80s.

But Complaints & Grievances is not terribly funny, thought-provoking OR insightful. There's nothing here that you can't get from any other cable comedian, and this is quite a difference from the Carlin of just a few years ago.

The only bit I like occurs at the end, when he talks about how ill-suited to real life the Ten Commandments are. Other than that, he talks about saving things you've picked out of your bottom, threatening molestation when leaving answering-machine messages for toddlers, and other things that display how he's pushing too hard for the "perverted old man" part of his repertoire that only the small segment of his fanbase representing drunk frat boys could possibly laugh at.

You haven't let me down in 33 years, George. Don't turn the brain off now, for godsakes.

The AOM is at it again. Mar 3 2004
Format:Audio CD
I have been a George Carlinite since I was seven (and busted by my father for listening to the LP 'Class Clown'). I really admired Carlin for talking about, and intelligently making fun of, the things in our everyday lives. Alas, ever since "What am I doing in New Jersey?" his humor has gone from being intelligent to being only somewhat humourous at best, and downright stupid at its worst. He's become angry now and when he makes fun of things in our everyday lives, its sometimes unfunny.

The lion's share of this CD is rather unfunny, although it does have its moments. The abridgment of the Ten Commandments was to me, a semi-lasped Catholic, to be a stroke of genius but it's a day late and a buck short when held in comparison to the rest of the CD.

I have tried and tried again to like his later works ("Jammin' in New York" and "You are all Diseased"), but I have eventually sold the CDs off because they just didn't make me laugh like his earlier works. This is in the "To Be Sold" bin even as we speak.

Sorry, George.

Speaks truth! Jan 23 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is Carlin at his best and my favorite routine is hearing all his complaints. It's very true about boy's names. For example, where did "Trey" come from?! It's also true about holiday newsletters and women with hyphenated last names. It's very irritating. I agree 100%. He is the best comic around, and he speaks the truth, especially about religion. I can't wait to catch his next album.

A very smart comic
George Carlin is flat out hilarious and there is a good reason why he is, because when he speaks comedy, he tells the truth, I am amazed at how he makes everything seem so true. Read more

"I......think I've gone too far..."
So George himself says at the end of long diatribe about picking a scab off the top of his forehead. Makes you want to buy the disc right now, doesn't it? Read more

At first listen, this CD appears to be below his usual standard. After a couple of listens, it starts to grow on you-especially the routine about guy's names. Read more

Foul Language Alert
I have heard George--obviously toned down--on some late night talk shows in years gone by. Even the "explicit language" warning on [this] didn't convey what I was in for. Read more
