Details
Armed with his trademark acerbic wit, Black holds nothing back, his ranting quickly finding a rhythm on “Rules of Enragement” and letting up only after American society's collective paunch has been adequately poked and the vinyl's come to rest. Good thing there's a B-side, though, because if there's one thing Lewis Black will teach you, it's that America's paunch has never been adequately poked. It cannot be adequately poked it's simply too bloated.
Exorcising the demons so you don't have to, RULES OF ENRAGEMENT finds Black sharpening his topical talons on everything from Adelphia to Iraq, the small pox vaccine to the only umbrella stand that could possibly be worth six grand (hint: it makes creative use of Martha Stewart's mythical nether regions). The overwhelming takeaway, though, is that nothing Lewis Black could possibly dream up could be more frightening, ridiculous, or laughably f*cked up as the state of the world, just as it is.
