REVOLUTION

According to English comedian and activist Russell Brand, our political system is broken, our culture lacks substance, and it's time to break out of our apathy and start a revolution to bring about change. Brand's fervent call to action is brought to listeners by none other than Brand himself, with a pronounced British accent and frenetic delivery. He often speaks quickly, using different voices and accents for comedic effect. After touching on his own personal history and challenges, he describes the post-revolutionary political climate he envisions. While he's certainly full of energy and vigor, his delivery often sounds bombastic rather than enlightening as esoteric words mix with profanity and crude humor.
