Denis Leary's humor is crude and edgy, satiric and cutting, but mostly it's outrageously funny. His new comedy disc LOCK 'N' LOAD is a revue of Leary's rapid fire profanity-laced rantings such as "A**hole of the Dance"; "Fat F*cks" and "President Leary" interspersed with cruelly funny songs including: "Elvis and Me" and "F*ck the Kennedys" and the children's song, "Life is Gonna Suck." This is social commentary disguised and distilled down to acid observations about the latest pop heroes, Leary's children, the Pope, and more, all played raucously and ribaldly for laughs with raucousness and ribaldry.
