Tom Green — Prepare For Impact

"If I was a chicken, I'd cluckity-cluck/But I'm not a chicken, so I don't give a fuck." This lyrical expertise is a fine example of what you'll hear on the majority of Tom Green's debut solo opus. The album alternates between juvenile humour and celebrity insults (where the comedian takes on everyone from Johnny Knoxville to ex-wife Drew Barrymore). The silliness is to be taken with a grain of salt, but the celebrity potshots make Green sound bitter and almost depressing. Dust Brother DJ EZ-Mike's beats almost save the album, but the rhymes, even taken as a joke, are simply embarassing. The humour is so bad that you almost wish he was still on community television. This is the sound of a celebrity at the bottom of the barrel.
