Not as good as prior specials

Burr is currently my favorite comic right now. Love his delivery, material and style. I've watched all his specials, some of his podcasts, some random appearances, and saw him perform live in Orange County. Regarding this special, I thought some of his material was good, but overall just didn’t measure up to his previous specials. I felt like he recycled a lot of topics. I know he admitted as much during the special and attempted to put a different spin on ‘em, but they still felt recycled. There's so many more topics he coulda explored that I would've loved to hear him ranting on. Some of the new material was good, but just not as great as his older stuff (helicopter bit was hilarious though).

You seem to be alone with that opinion... people are raving about it.

No I agree. Compared to his last three specials, while I wouldn't call this one weak, it to me isn't one that I'll remember as much. I need to go back and see if it grows on me a little bit more. A few topics were similar to his last special like guns for instance, but overall I wouldn't say that the jokes are recycled with a spin, I just haven't come away from it yet really feeling like I remember much of it.
