Leary's rants are perfected on this album with disdain aimed at coffee, beer, and Hanson among other things. "Deaf Mute Cocktail Party" is brilliant and his routine about his kids is great. I didn't become a fan of Leary until seeing Rescue Me years later, but I can clearly see where the outstanding writing, commentary, and perspectives on that show came from with material like this. Oh, and I think someone should play "Life's Gonna Suck" at a high school graduation ceremony sometime.
