5th Annual End of the World Tour Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Christopher Titus is easily the best argument for a person being able to pull themselves out of a rough childhood and making something of himself - and if you don't know why, you're about to learn. Titus has made a career out of laughing at his life and his family: his clinically insane genius mother, his verbally abusive drunk father, and of course his own hijinks . . . and now he's bringing his children into the mix. Not as the target of his wit, but as the catalyst for his new material. It's a world gone mad following 9-11-01 and he's got a brand new daughter to try to protect while trying to hold on to his marriage (a battle he'd sadly lose, though not at the time the CD was recorded) and his sanity.
Titus takes you through his hilarious views on President Bush ("Our President"), the white race's feelings of guilt towards the other races ("Whitey"), his boneheaded mistakes as a parent (the "Incident" tracks), his time touring Iraq with the troops ("Our Troops" through "Sgt. Pepper"), his views on the Catholic church's child abuse problem ("P***phile Crucifixions") and the loss of his his father - and the amazing way his dad wanted to be sent into the next world. Through it all you never get a sense of despair or worry, just a good-natured guy trying to slog through one challenge after another and finding the humor in every situation. Is it better than "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding?" I don't know. It's just as hysterical, only with a new focus.
Bottom line, it's not another one of those comedy albums with a bunch of lame observations about the little oddities of life - it's a witty jab at the big issues in life and the little children who get him through, and it's a gem. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.
