Henry Rollins The Boxed Life (Live) (2-CD)

3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...a lucid tragicomic set...his timing is incisive, and his ability to turn the most horrific events into humor drums up comparisons to the dark, painfully honest routines of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor..."
"...He is at his funniest when his observations either draw from his own experience (life on the road in a rock band, school, bad jobs) or comment freshly on familiar subjects (airports, films, depression)..."
3 Stars - Good - "...THE BOXED LIFE is highly entertaining, crammed full of nuggets to recount over a lentil casserole..."
"...Henry Rollins' performances are moving, provocative and they make you see the world a bit differently...essential for the collections of any thinking world citizen..."
"...The surprise of his speechifying is that he goes for laughs, charm and the occasional gross-out..."
6 - Good - "...If you've ever dabbled in Bukowski, Bogosian or Beefheart, you'll find this side of Rollins frighteningly attractive and, more importantly, you'll never buy a U2 record again..."
