Funny stuff, 14 Oct 2004
By tv fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modern Scream (Audio CD)
This album from 1975 was/is one of the most creative, inventive comedy albums ever. Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner conceived an ingenious way to use sound effects and editing to have Lily interact with her characters. The album goes back and forth between recordings of Lily live on stage and being "interviewed" by a magazine reporter for publicity. We, the listener, get to meet Lily's next-door neighbor, Lucille, who is a rubber freak. We meet the high-pitched voice reporter who comes to Lily's house to interview her. We hear Lily playing ping-pong ball, swimming, driving in a car all while talking to the interviewer. It is very funny and fun to listen to. Lily is brilliant in her characters as usual and this album was a wonderful concept. Finally it is on CD. It was nominated for a Grammy for best comedy recording. Buy this CD to enjoy the brilliance of Lily Tomlin. She is a comedy genious.

classic Tomlin at her best, 28 Nov 2005
By D. Pawl "Dani" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Modern Scream (Audio CD)
This is a rare album that is really worth owning--that is, if you are able to find it. Lily Tomlin is nothing short of a comedic GENIUS. The way she juxtaposes and layers the dialogues between her characters is HYSTERICAL and cutting edge. An example of her zany characters, being Lucille, the rubber freak. Though, she comes across as a modern day alcoholic, the woman has actually been covering an addiction to pencil erasers, the rubber backing on rugs and raincoats for YEARS. Does it sound weird? Well, it is, but it is weird in one of those delightfully authentic, ironic Lily Tomlin ways. What's more, this album shows off her talent for conveying the sadness of celebrity (when she plays herself, being interviewed by a journalist with a high pitched voice, also played by Tomlin), as well as a high octane sorority sister (amongst others).
Though, this album has been around for a few decades, at this point, it comes off as timeless and a current time capsule glimpse into the manic comic gifts of Lily Tomlin.
