Review by Kerwin Jacobs

Rock Roll Nerd is an album that perfectly captures the wit and musical talent of Tim Minchin. The Australian comedian and musician showcases his skills as a pianist and songwriter in this collection of songs that ranges from hilarious to poignant.

The album opens with "Canvas Bags," a satirical take on eco-friendly shopping bags that has become one of Minchin's most popular songs. He also tackles topics like religion ("Ten Foot Cock and a Few Hundred Virgins"), love ("If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out"), and the music industry ("Rock and Roll Nerd").

Throughout the album, Minchin's clever lyrics and catchy melodies are supported by his virtuosic piano playing. He also employs a variety of musical styles, from the rock-inspired "Not Perfect" to the ballad "Dark Side."

Summary by Kerwin Jacobs

Rock Roll Nerd is a must-listen for fans of Tim Minchin or anyone who appreciates clever songwriting and impressive musicianship. It's an album that will make you laugh, think, and tap your feet all at once.
