Following up 2007's Werewolves and Lollipops is no easy task, but Oswalt did it with My Weakness is Strong. Although not as strong as its predecessor, the album does deliver Oswalt's very intelligent and clever commentary on his life and modern American society. Oswalt's interest in religion is clear on "Sky Cake" and "Grocery Robots" is very, very funny. The thing that doesn't make the album stand up quite as strong as Werewolves and Lollipops though is that the material doesn't transition quite as smoothly. However, that is only a minor fault which is far outweighed by his comedic brilliance. Oswalt is one of my favorite comics and this is one of the reasons why.
