Hughley's second album finds him again in top form. His logic is very reasonable and easy to follow when arguing his perspective. However, he doesn't hesitate to ask questions either. And a lot of ground is covered too: the employment crisis, race, Tiger Woods, President Obama and Arnold Schwarzenegger's affair. Things like- when I go into a Wal-Mart, I can't buy an unedited Jay-Z CD because he raps about guns, and yet I can buy an actual gun. Just like Notes From the GED Section, Hughley masterfully combines social/political commentary with stories from his family life with bits about kids and marriage. The set ends on a very touching and funny bit about his son. Overall, Reset is amazing and, without a doubt, the funniest album of the year so far.
