Finest Hour (Comedy Central, 2011) by Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt is one of my favorite comedians.  And this album continues his streak of quality releases.  The biggest difference with this release is that it's the first in which he is a father.  Not surprisingly, parenthood has worked its way into his material.  However, his approach to it is unlike any other voice in comedy ( [on how tiring parenting is] "I was wearing sweat pants and a shirt.  And they were the same color").  The best track on the whole album though is "The Circus is in Town"- a bit where Oswalt explains how the circus is an outdated form of family entertainment.
