I heard one reviewer say that this album is the stupidest album he had ever heard and that he did not understand how anyone could waste money buying this CD. The issue is not that it is stupid, the issue is whether or not you will get into the groove of the album and if you enjoy Willis's humor. Despite its repetitiveness, Willis's music is original because of the unique way in which he delivers his songs (Willis is schizophrenic). For those of us who find Willis's music accessible, the simplistically catchy songs and the one-of-a-kind humor that only Willis can deliver blesses the listener with laughter and an enjoyable musical experience.

The year was 1997, the month was June, the day was the 12th and on that day I had hit bottom. My wife had left me, my great uncle died and I had been diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome. Life was not looking up, until that night, around my friend Boon's mahogany coffee table during our usual thursday night bridge session, when all of a sudden from his foyer, the magical sounds of what seemed like a obese homeless musical artist were being ommitted. I had to investigate. So I went in to the hall where these enchanting and strangely seducing tunes were coming from. And sure enough my instincts were correct. It was an overly obese homeless man who was creating this auditory artwork. Immediately after this experience, my life completely turned around. The next day I met a bolemic french supermodel, my great uncle rose from the grave and my doctor said that not only had he mistakenly diagnosed me with carrpel tunnel syndrome but that I actually have a new release of a certain type of hormone that will never allow me to get sick ever again. So buy Wesley Willis I recommend it.

Wesley Willis's music is certainly hit or miss. While few people will accuse him of being musically gifted or creative, everyone will certainly understand the pure genius of his lyrics. He instantly either completely offends or completely endears himself to the listener. I will never forget the first time I heard Mr. Willis's music.

Wesley's insights into the human mind are profound and hillarious at the same time. He is truly a visionary, and his work should be studied for decades.

The experience of listening to Wesley Willis's music is one that everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy. I would suggest that everyone snuggle up with a loved one, pop in this CD, and put it on loop for hours. Your neighbors will love it too!

This is a compilation album of songs by Wesley Willis that are about rock and rollers. All the songs have a similar pre-programmed backing track, over which Wesley speaks/shouts/sings his repetetive lyrics. This album is even more repetetive than most Wesley Willis albums, since the songs all have a similar subject matter. About two-thirds of the songs here are reviews of concerts that Wesley attended. Wesley will say where the concert was held, how many people attended the concert, and that the concert was "awesome". Apparently, Wesley never went to a bad concert in his life. However, in the song about "Lotion" he does mention that the lead singer was a "stupid jerk" who was "not nice at all". That's the only critical thing he ever says here. There are a few song here that are not concert reviews, where you can learn things like "Kurt Cobain was the singer in Nirvana" and "Jello Biafra used to sing with the Dead Kennedys". And so on and so on. But, if you like Wesley's music, you will enjoy this album.

Any Wesley Willis cd is a must have for any true cd collector. This particular album represents his true genius at work. He breaks down conventional thinking and throws it right back at you. Just listen to him chant "Nirvana", pure genius. If you are a fan of Wesley, try to find a copy of James B. He is not found in any stores but ask any music buddy you might have because he or she may have one. Another must have.

Well, this music is just barely music, and definetly not genius. On the other hand it is one of the most hilarious things I have ever heard. It really is amazing how hilarioius Willis' out of tune yelling and one-man-band keyboarding can be. Seriously, it is soooooooo funny. And if you are somehow offended by the singing about the bands, thinking that it is insult to those he is singing about....lay off, it's funny. I love some of those bands but I don't get (upset) about it. It's hilarious

Somebody who lives in the same town as me is a jackass who doesn't know real music when they hear it.

Once i had a ham sandwich. It was good. Wesley is my personal hero. though i am too poor to afford his great work, i do rip it off of Napster and i think that should count for something. When i grow up i'm going to be a skitzo so i can sing sweet music too, infatc i'm lookign to major in it at college. LONG LIVE ROCK! No Parking is awesome, look for them. Wesley you have a place in my heart.

simply the best cd on the planet
