Description:

2009 album from the comedian/musician.3 Balloons is Stephen's first new album in over four years, featuring all-new material, and recorded in a studio: "My last two albums were recorded live in concert, just guitar and voice, and I wanted to do something different this time. Whenever I write or perform a new song, in my head I hear pianos and drums and tubas and string sections and jug bands and children's choirs. I want you to hear those things too. Except we couldn't find a children's choir whose parents would let them sing about drug mules and transsexual prostitutes. Maybe next time.''

23 Ballons  Jan 17, 2010
Certainly not his best work. Both my husband and I agreed it sounded too polished and produced. More like he was worried about trying to make a pop music song, rather than his normal comedy stuff. Intellectual humor, just not that funny this time around. Disappointing...

4Hilarity!  Dec 17, 2009
Sweet voice + offensive lyrics = FUNNY!
One of the best singing comedians in a looooong time.

I actually got this for my husband's birthday. We love Stpehen's stuff! He is really funny. This is great!

2Missing the chemistry with a live audience  Aug 05, 2009
I am a big Stephen Lynch fan, but I was very disappointed with this album. Unlike Stephen's two previous albums Craig Machine and Superhero, 3 Ballons is missing the interaction between Stephen and a live audience. One of Stephen's greatest strengths has always been this interaction, without it the album just isn't as good. The songs themselves also don't measure up to his previous work.

3Sorry Stephen  Aug 02, 2009
I should say that I've been a Stephen Lynch fan since I saw his first special on Comedy Central the very first time it aired. Every album up to "The Craig Machine" has delivered. This one, not so much.

The peak of the album is the first track, "Waiting." This peak is occasionally matched, but the album for the most part leaves the listener wanting a laugh and longing for the quality of previous albums. There is virtually no cleverness to be found here. I give this album 3 stars purely for the reason that there have been worse attempts at humor in song, less gifted musicians (Stephen Lynch could probably have fledged a legitimate career with his vocal skills), and less funny comedians. Unfortunately, Stephen set the bar incredibly high for himself with his previous work, and not only did he come up short of that, he managed to make a VERY average comedy record. Please, Stephen, bounce back from this.
