SUCKO.......2006-01-28

This is terrible. Especially the track where he modifies his voice to resemble an entire boys choir. Pure music torture. And he was so good in back the future!

Interesting.......2005-10-01

This is not your everyday run of the mill CD. In fact to some they may not like it the first time you hear it (or at all) but this will grow on you. I found myself thinking about some of these songs and sometimes singing (too myself of course) while I'm at work or sitting around. This CD is actually pretty good and I definately recommend it to Crispin Glover fans. The remake of "These Boots" makes this worth buying alone, the best remake of the song ever. In my opinion it's alot better than the original.

Women are sweet, and girls are honey..........2005-05-17

I've listened to this cd approximately four times since I came home to find it waiting for me this evening. I'm still not any closer to understanding just what the hell Crispin's deal is, and I've probably done irreparable damage to my sanity, but I don't really care. If, like me, you really enjoy hearing the undeniably weird Crispin Hellion Glover reciting lines like "Only yesterday I had a lamb's skin removed" in his strange, oddly sweet voice over merry, almost pastoral music, get this album. Get it now. If, however, you don't go in for that sort of insanity, shun this album like it's the plague.

Woooooooooooooow........2005-01-31

This album broke my psyche. I felt it shatter. I did. -nod-

"F*cked up" doesn't even begin to cover it. This is forty three minutes of pure, unadulterated insanity. There's no reference I could come up with that could possibly prepare you for this album. Not one.

Now, I have seen and heard a lot of disturbing things in my life, but this *has* to have wormed its way to the top of the list.

Yeah, definitely recommended. I can't say I'll listen to this often, but it'll certainly have its place in my collection and I will sure as hell be burning it for all my friends. :)

Oh my god........2005-01-05

Let it be known now, to those that don't know already, that Crispin Glover is insane. He's a god damn freak that outdoes anyone else I can think of. Yet I love him. We all love him. And I finally purchased his album. In all honesty, there's no way I can describe what's on this sucker in full. To save you time though, if you already have any of Crispin's books, or have seen his work in Bartleby and Rubin & Ed, go ahead and purchase this. In fact, you'll really appreciate a track on here if you've seen the latter. But I'm not going to get into "artistic meaning" or anything like that here. I'm a Crispin-fan through and through. While I do apprecite his work and take most of his things seriously, I know when to laugh, and some tracks on this album are here for that. And yes, there is a meaning to the album in general, but you know what? You can just call the number on the cd itself and ask whoever answers to get it. I'm not trying to be mysterious, but it's nice to find out for yourself to get the whole story as to what the big problem really is.

After the grand Overture, we have Selected Readings From Rat Catching, Crispin's first published book. And boy is it really "selected". Do yourself a favor and don't try to follow along while reading your own copy of the book. He jumps around all over the place, but it's still good. Crispin sounds incredibly happy during some readings, and just plain freaky (wait until you hear him say "chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickeeeeeeeeen"). The music playing in the background is equally happy, and puts me in a good mood. Next, he sings being clean in The New Clean Song. It's a nice acoustic ditty where the lyrics say it all. Crispin sounds like he's enjoying himself on this track, but not as much as he probably is on Auto-Manipulator. A song about nothing but masturbation. At first, I couldn't stand this track, but I loved it after just a second listen. There's some weird vocal effects going on (that I can magically match when I sing along) which make it even more hilarious. Here's a few quick lyrics to give you a sample:

"I'M AN AU...TO...MANI-PU-LATOR. I PLAY WITH MYSELF...I'M A MASTURBATOR." [later in the song] "I close the bathroom door, I be lookin' so cool, my mama don't know I been touchin' my tool"

See? If anything, it's a demi-hip hop track that you'll have to hear for yourself. Up next is the track no one can resist mentioning: Clowny Clown Clown. Demented circus music is what's on this one. The lyrics are silly as well, but sort of depressing in what happens to the clown. Like I mentioned earlier, there's a small Rubin & Ed bit here, and if you're lucky enough to find the music video, you'll see even more. Speaking of that video, if you need it, email me right away. But yes, this is a happy song that everyone loves, and I've yet to get sick of hearing it. With Getting Out Of Bed, we get an eerie glimpse at what Crispin must think when he does get out of bed. And lordy, I don't wanna be around when he does if this is what it is. Next is a personal favorite of mine- The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze. It's so graceful and classy, yet touching. I love the music again, and the way Cripin sings a few lines is really devious. The last song on here is a Charles Manson cover: Never Say "Never" To Always. If it didn't make you think before, it definately will this time around, I'll leave it at that.

Finally are the Selected Readings From Oak-Mot. Again, don't try to follow along with your book of the same name. I just tried, and things were way off. Crispin would say "chapter ten", but it'd be a completely different chapter, and I'd just give up. But really, you should listen to these before reading Oak-Mot if you can, and memorize the way he reads them and the music that plays as well. It adds even more effect, and now I can enjoy Oak-Mot the way it was most likely intended. And finally [part II], the last track is Crispin freaking out in German sort of like how he did in a dream-scene from Bartleby. Someone online was kind enough to translate most of what he's saying, so again, just ask me if you'd like the info.

In the end, I take this album to heart. It's one of my favorites I own, and listen to it religiously. Even the title: The Big Problem Does Not Equal the Solution. The Solution = Let It Be has a lot of meaning to me. Whenever you're stressing out, think about the title and you'll feel normal. Well, as normal as you can get after listening to this.

Crispin, thank you for making this beauty. I look forward to The Big Love, whenever it comes out.
