5.0 out of 5 stars Monty Python's best CD, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Meaning of Life (Audio CD)

This is Monty Python's finest album to date. It's every bit as funny as the film. It also boasts some new linking material from Michael Palin, like frying eggs and The Adventures of Martin Luther. Every thing on the album is hilarious. Although the sound effects that are used to smoothe the transition from visual to audio is a bit overdone. Every Python fan should own this album. It's a shame MCA Records won't re-release this in America.

I think everyone including the Pythons themselves, know that much of this movie, isn't nowhere as good as much of their other work. By the eighties, they really weren't as funny. After writing years of superb funny material, they came out with this.

This is the soundtrack. Every man in America would like a certain part end the end, but that's not on this, as it's "visual". They might as well have realesed a soundtrack album, as they realesed evrything else on book soundtrack, and computer games. However the book version of "Life of Brian", was quiet esential, as the scrapboook version has ALOT of new material, writen but not used for that film.

There isn't anything too new. The "new material" is the briefest parts by Micheal Palin, doing brief links, as on Final Rip-off, neither are very funny. Well I bought this for a fin at half.com, and it's too much here. This isn't essential, if you can pick it up for under 3 dollars, you might as well buy it.

Since there are not so many songs in the film, there's a lot of dialog,
and it works only partly without the visual...

Well, "Every Sperm is Sacred" and "Galaxy Song" are still among my favorite Python songs...
