Stupornaut's Pitchfork review is a very accurate assessment of this album. Compared to Cross's horrifyingly bad book, I Drink For A Reason, this is somewhat passable stuff, but there is nothing particularly memorable or interesting about it. A few chuckles here and there.
I gotta say that I was shocked that I Drink For A Reason was so bad. I had such high hopes for it. Not funny at all.
I recall reading/hearing that he had this contract to write something, and he sweated it and sweated it, thinking somehow that he had to turn in short stories or fiction or some shit. Very near the deadline he talked to his editor and said "I"m so fucked!" and the editor said, "so don't write fiction, write what you want" or something or other.
So I guess this book was banged out at the last minute - does that jive with what you guys have read?
