Editorial Reviews:
Back from his Grammy Award win for Best Comedy Album 2006 for "The Carnegie Hall Performance", Lewis has a whole new set of what's setting him off. From the insanity of golf and losing his virginity to a skipping album to his favorite time of year - Christmas in Vegas - "Anticipation" could just be his best album yet.

Summary: Definitely not his best work.
Comment: There were few laughs to be had from Louis Black on this cd. Most of it was just ho-hum, and some of it was downright anti-semitic. THere are better Black cd's to spend your money on. Don't bother with this one.

Summary: "Anticipation " Lewis Black
Comment: My wife and I are big fans of Lewis Black and try not to miss anything he does. We have spent enjoyable times listening and laughing at his CD's or DVD's (So uncontrollably one time playing a CD in the car that I had to pull over).
Maybe we've gotten to expect the same thing with everything he does ....
This one seemed to leave us wanting a little more. To our taste, it started off on a strong note and then seemed to lose it's edge toward the end. Enjoyable...For sure , but not as much as other things Mr. Black has done.

Summary: Black is back....
Comment: Mr. Black's "anticipation" is a very sly title for an album. One of the routines of the album has to do with that subject and it is a great one to discuss. There are also very funny routines about losing his virginity, santa claus, Channukah etc... many of the other topics being tied in to the main theme of anticipation. In doing that he shows the hallmark of a great story teller.

Also not mentioned is Mr. Black's great talent of the art of speaking, whereas he has great timing, delivery and knows the art of highs and lows that are needed for a long dialogue.

One thing that I noticed, in the photo on the inside jacket there is a picture of Mr. Black on the inside. If one covers each half of his face one side looks like he is smiling the other looks sad. That might really say a lot about this great man and comic. He is able to take the sadness and frustration of the world and make me laugh and smile about it, which really is a wonderful gift to give the me and hopefully the world.

Summary: Not His Best Work
Comment: I was sort of disappointed with this Comedy CD. Im a huge Lewis Black fan however I think I only laughed once though out the entire album.

Summary: Worth the "Anticipation"
Comment: A great addition to Lewis Black's collection. I laughed out loud while listening to this and found it just as enjoyable as his other discs. Any fan of comedy will love this disc!
