Rant in E-Minor is an album by stand-up comedian and satirist Bill Hicks. Both this album and a similar album of new material, Arizona Bay, were released posthumously by Rykodisc on February 25, 1997, marking three years since Hicks' death.[4]
The material on this album is darker and angrier in tone than some of his earlier work; Hicks can be heard screaming at his audience in between chapters, and very prominently during the track "You're Wrong Night".
On April 15, 2016, Comedy Dynamics released a new version of the album in both double CD and double vinyl LP formats called Rant in E-Minor: Variations. While the original album was culled from various performances and included musical interludes performed by Hicks, the new version presents a complete and uninterrupted performance recorded at the Laff Stop in Austin, Texas on October 24, 1993.[5]
