Editorial Reviews
Lots of comedians like to think of themselves as rock stars, but Leary makes good on that threat with Lock 'n Load. Leary's frantic concert ranting is intercut MTV-style with comic song parodies (including a gothic mocking of the Love Boat theme), idle chatter, noise bursts, sound collages, and guest spots from the likes of Janeane Garofalo (slamming Fiona Apple) and musicians Adam Roth and Greg Dulli. Leary takes no prisoners as he goes after Michael Flatley, Marv Albert, Hanson, the Kennedy clan, the pope, ecology activists, 7-Eleven counter help, fat Vegas gamblers, and even his own kids. He's at his angry, acid best when he takes on the annoying '90s trends of multiple body piercings, microbrews, and flavored coffee. --Michael Ruby

This has GOT to be one of the funniest comedy CD's ever made.I remember seeing Leary for the very first time on a MTV clip snarling,"Sting,if I were you,I wouldn't worry about saving the rain forest,I'd worry more about getting all my hair back".Good point.Leary opens his hour long set with slamming Michael Flattley for being the 'Lord Of The Dance',telling the audience that IF they'd want to show it how it really is,to show a bunch of fat Irish men dancing,drinking and punching out their relatines.I like best when he spouts off just how 'things are going to change' when he becomes president.His foreign policy: **** you!! His domestic policy: **** you!! Oh,yeah,should mention that apparently Leary uses the 'F' word a LOT.Leary's theory on a lasting marriage:have your own rooms,eat,watch TV together,have sex,etc.MORE than anything,avoid each other all other times.There are also some novelty tunes on here,like "Life's Gonna Suck".I must've listened to this CD about twenty times in the first three months that I had it.Ideal for parties.

There are only two albums by Denis Leary available - this one and "No Cure For Cancer"; if you buy this one, you will get the other one, as well.
Mr Leary is not just your average comedian getting an odd joke or two at the expense of political correctness; his entire act is built on values which are today trashed by self-appointed custodians of public good. He smokes, he devours meat and he does not say one bad word about McDonald's, and he is proud of it.
His magnificient delivery sounds casual and effortless, just like your slightly drunk friend talking to you in a bar, but in fact every line is polished to perfection.
You will either love this guy or hate him; either way, you will agree that he is an extremely strong comedian, one of the best in the business.

A bit older and wiser, Denis Leary drops the over-the-top obnoxiousness that was so wonderful in, "No Cure for Cancer." The presentation here is more honest, and the bones he has to pick are incredibly true. And eclectic! Coffee-flavored coffee, Marv Albert, Catholicism, Michael Flatley, and you morons that ride your bikes on the street - all are grist for his mill, attacked with wit and palpable anger. And that - anger - is the reason his act works so well. It isn't mindless, or done for shock. It is simply the reaction of a tired commen-sense man to annoyance. In a world where everyone has adopted the, "Live and let live" philosophy, it is a relief to hear at least one voice decry, "No! Some things are not alright, or even acceptable, or even tolerable," swearing loudly in between. No one can fly off in a berserk rage quite like Denis Leary.

Surprise rave for Leary
I have a fully loaded max iPod, done by my cousin so while I know a lot the plays he's put on it, when I heard Denis Leary's 'Life's Gonna Suck' kids' song, it floored me. Read more

Bill Hicks rip off.
Dennis Leary is a fake poser. Leary stole Hicks personality and material to market it himself. Bill Hicks is the real deal, Leary sucks.

This dude is hilarious
Worth every penny and then some. If I only have to buy this CD 5 more times, it'll be worth it.

This was the breakthrough, not "No Cure for Cancer"
"No Cure for Cancer" is the top selling album that catapulted Leary to success, but here he develops into more of a unique individual. Read more

Some of the greatest rants ever
The "Coffee" rant is one of the best I've ever heard. The fat f-cks routine was great and his jokes about his kids was excellent. Read more

Exact Bits Leary Stole from Hicks
Leary is a hack. He wasn't "influenced" by Bill Hicks, he STOLE material. That makes him a hack. How can you Leary fans argue with the definition of the word hack? Read more

Lacking in originality and generally a bore.
Bill Hicks was funny. Denis Leary isn't. Any questions?
