Ranking every album from stand-up legend George Carlin

As far as I’m concerned, the holy trinity of comedy consists of Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Bill Hicks. Carlin fans should immediately point out the paradox of using a religious allegory while describing this great comedian, actor, artist, performer, philosopher and all around fearless shit-stirrer, since he was once of the first fervent anti-religion advocates in mainstream entertainment.

Especially during the final two decades of his career, he proudly wore the badge of being the ‘cranky, unhinged, angry old man railing against a corrupt and misguided society’ that made his performances seem like raw and unfiltered regurgitations of his innermost complaints and grievances.

As brilliant and meticulously constructed as Carlin’s written material was, it was his kinetic and carefully choreographed stage presence that really sold a lot of his bits. Of course a lot of the visual appeal of Carlin’s act is lost when experienced on an audio-only format.

On the other hand, some of his performances might get a boost in intensity and clarity when listened to, like the pissed-off sermon of an angry philosopher who’s had it up to here with bullshit. His rant about how euphemisms soften the English language from the 1990 album,. Yet listening to it without any visual distractions makes his passion about the subject come through that much more potently.
