2.0 out of 5 stars Little new in "Roll With the New", March 23, 2003

This review is from: Roll With the New (Audio CD)

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a huge Chris Rock fan, having bought nearly everything that he has done on both DVD and CD. But "Roll With the New" is little more than select excerpts from "Bring the Pain" with a few sophomoric Ren & Stimpy style toss-ins, which really aren't up to Chris Rock's normal level. Somebody at Dreamworks figured they could make a boat load of extra money by tossing in 20% original though mediocre content with regurgitations of the best parts of BTP.

Do yourself a favor: Save your money and get more laughs by buying "Bring the Pain" and "Bigger and Blacker" instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, but some falls short of expectations, April 4, 2002

I have laughed many an hour away with this album. However, some of the short bits fall short of the standup maestro that he is. Variety? Sure, there's variety, but something just doesn't work with the non-standup bits. They are funny, just not as top notch as aforementioned. I do agree that Chris Rock -is- the funniest man in America. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars I am sure he sounds better on stage, August 15, 2001

Chris Rock is surely one powerful comedian, but this CD does not do him justice. There are too many studio-mixed tracks, too much auxiliary stuff beside his straightforward stand-up act, but it is Chris Rock talking that you want to hear, not annoying interference of second-grade content that is equivalent to warm-up artist at a superstar's concert.

His texts are impeccable, delivery is powerful with finely judged rhytm. It is this rhytm that captivates and brings you to the climax of laughter.
