Twitter Capsule: Invites critique of uneven style and gleefully rancid politics, but so much meat, blood, nerve, and panache. Disco!

Twitter Capsule: Hubristic fusion of spirituality, brutality, and banality carries itself off remarkably, with conviction and verve.

Twitter Capsule: Funny when "great, but not the Second Coming" seems like a fair caveat. One hell of a Big Kahuna Burger. Jules 4eva.
