Pure Comedy is a brilliant, multi-faceted jewel. But it requires upfront work and a lot of patience from the listener. Tillman’s melodies are, at first, elusive. Tempos dawdle. Runtimes splay. Many musical dots (such as verses, choruses, and bridges) seem disconnected or nonexistent. Yet after repeated spins (four, in my case), loose threads find their respective partners. That’s when this magnificent 75-minute work interlocks, becomes whole, and unveils its immense riches. What was once incomprehensible – and, let’s be honest, a little boring – all at once makes sense.

Deze quote zegt eigenlijk alles over dit album. Ben hetzelfde proces doorgegaan. Ik vraag me af wat er nog beter had gekund. Niks eigenlijk, dus van 4,5 naar 5.
