Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to the studio after a lengthy hiatus, the brilliant mathematician and satirist delivers another mercilessly witty collection of macabre humor and sharp social commentary. Armed only with his brisk piano accompaniment, he tackles subjects ranging from nuclear annihilation to twisted romantic devotion with impeccably crafted, rhyming lyrical structures. The entirely self-released and self-produced record solidified his status as a legendary, highly influential figure in American musical comedy.
