CD Reviews

Good, But Not Great

"I have always enjoyed Rodriguez'works, both on stage and in movies (with the notable exception of "Bloodwork," where he plays an unfunny and thankless part; but a guy has to work, que no?). I bought this CD, assuming that it would be as funny as his other works. But it isn't. There are certainly places in the CD where he made me smile or laugh a little, but there is no section that causes me to lose it, laughing-wise. It seems rather strident, as if he is trying too hard. A great comedian makes you laugh and laugh over. Rodriguez' trying too hard to be funny makes me feel uncomfortable, to the point where I don't care to listen to it again.
If you are Mexican-American, as I am, or if you just want to lose it and laugh until you're crying, try the CD's by George Lopez, "Team Leader" or "Right Now, Right Now." I have listened to them over and over, and they're just as funny as the 1st time I heard them! George Lopez is the true heir to Cheech Marin."
Vintage Rodriguez: Can't Get Any Funnier Than This!

"The first time is always the best, I say. Paul released this album when his career was first starting to rise, when he was very hungry; and it shows in this CD. Even though I first listened to it back in 86', I still find myself quoting parts from it. From his memorable opening lines which reference the California Lottery, to the skits referencing Julio Iglesias' teaming up with Willie Nelson, to Paul's hilarious observations about Gilligan's Island's castaways, this CD is clearly his best. Even though it is 14 years old, I still find Paul's jokes relevant and timeless because his spoofs and observations still make sense today. Even if you only like Paul Rodriguez's sense of humor a little, you will love his first album, proving the first time CAN actually be the best."
