Black's 2nd LP [3rd record release overall] is in the same comedic style as most of his work. He is an cynic with a bleeding heart. Personally, I really enjoy that perspective because it shows that someone still cares, and yet they are are not foolishly optimistic. The thing that makes this recording especially interesting is that it was recorded in two parts- one part was before 9/11/01and another part after it. It isn't very noticeable. However, it is noteworthy especially because Black is a topical comic. My favorite bit on the album is the one that's alluded to on the album cover: the end of the universe is in Houston, Texas, where two Starbucks (and therefore everything they represent) are right across the street from each other.
