Album Description:
You probably know Joe Rogan as the host of the hit show FEAR FACTOR. Or it could be from his turn as Joe Garrelli on NEWS RADIO. Or as the host of the MAN SHOW. Or even more recently as the spokesperson for the UFC. What you may not know is that Joe Rogan is one of the top comedians in the country. He sells out big rooms from coast to coast on the strength of his fantastic comedy and this disc solidifies him as one of the most important voices in the country. Joe's hard-edged, uncensored, and, yes, smart view of the world shines through on his new album (his first, I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday (Warner Bros.) received critical acclaim and solid sales). With sharp insights on the Middle East, sex, religion, and a host of other topics, there are no taboos.

Rating: - Joe Fen Rogan Live.
Joe is so Funny it's great. I've listened to it several times. I would tell all my friends to get this CD.
Rating:  - Pretty Good CD
I had only learned that Joe Rogan did stand-up comedy when I heard him on a radio talk show about a year ago. He was quite funny on that appearance so when I found out about this CD I decided to pick it up. I can't say that this effort puts him among the ranks of the all-time great comedians, but I would certainly say that he is one of the funnier people out there currently. It isn't wall to wall laughs, but he has some very humorous takes on several issues and delivers the material well. This isn't one of those 'dude, ya gotta listen to this' CDs, and it won't become legendary, however, you can definitely listen to it a couple times through and draw some good laughs.
Rating:  - I listened to it 5 times
I figured I owed this CD a good word. I found the material to be funny, original and, rare for comedy CDs, it stood up to repeat listenings. Rogan is a pretty real guy and his material seems very succinct to his personality and delivery. Many of his routines are very well thought out and developed. The impersonations are well done and add a lot to the immersion of his stories.
Rogan goes out of his way to be articulate and avoids stepping on anyones toes- Some subjects probably seem 'edgy', but he sticks to illustrating a point and doesnt try to score 'un-politically correct' points. The doofy looking CD cover might suggest otherwise.
The Terrence McKenna observation scores extra points in my book. McKenna is the second comming of Christ- Why wouldn't you cite Jesus II.
If he has more better material kicking around (like someone here suggested), I want it on a CD.
Rating: - I laughed myself sick
The only reason I bought this CD is because I am a huge UFC fan who like's Joe's personality as a commentator (also I thought the title "Shiny Happy Jihad" was pretty funny). Honestly I didn't think it would be that good when I bought it. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I was listning to it on the bus and people were staring at me like I was a recently escaped mental patient. I was laughing uncontrollably. I eventually turned it off but kept thinking about what he was saying and even repeating it to myself in my head made me laugh out loud. Joe Rogan is officially my favourite comedian and that is a big statement considering I listen to a LOT of comedy.
Rating:  - Countdown until Amazon deletes this one, too
Joe has said that this album is "one of the few pieces of my own work that I can sit through without wanting to shut it off and run out of the building," but having listened to it, I feel as though this sentiment is more a function of his decreasing standards than one of objective quality. While I've never watched any of his horrible television shows for more than thirty seconds at a time, I've been a fan of Joe's standup for a good seven years now. I've seen him perform several times during the period when he claims he was too distracted by his television career to really focus on his act, and every single one of those times he had better material than is on this album. Some of the routines here date back to 2003, but whatever it is that's kept them kicking around so long, it's not quality. He's obviously still struggling to be as edgy and offensive as ever, he just isn't succeeding at much other than becoming a tragically predictable parody of every drug-addled conspiracy theorist who can't get through a conversation without citing Terrence McKenna. If this is what he's going to produce when he's focused solely on his standup act, then NBC needs to give him another three prime-time shows in a hurry before he turns into Woody Harrelson.
It's still better than Dane Cook, but I expected a lot more from Joe, and I would not recommend it to anyone who did not have a postcount in the tens of thousands on the monument to sycophantry that is his internet forum.
