Pros: "Your Pitiful"(parody of.. "Your Beautiful") wuznot included. But "White and Nerdy" is equally delightful. Cons: Few soft songs are cool but they lack the fight to keep you interested much. Whut I Thunk: Listening to Weird Al, is a momentary pleasure. Once you have drilled your ear with his tunes.. it looses its novelty. But in the moments that you enjoy it, it's fun. Weird Al is by far the king of parody. By listening to his work you can feel how much attention to detail he puts in his songs. He makes sure that the song is not a loose parody but the exact song with a variation on the lyrics and the words always bring a nice amount of funny. In saying all that, I have now described: "Straight Outta Lynwood" his 12th album. The album is very fun and funny. It holds great parody gems like: "Ill Sue Ya" about frivolous lawsuits inspired by RageAgainstTheMachine and "Confessions Part III" which is a hilarious continuation of Ushers' Confessions Part II, but focusing on silly trivial confessions. Also, in this album he includes another polka medley called: "Polkarama!" which is a fun ditty that sings mainstream songs in a comical way. Some included are.. Coldplays' "Speed of Sound" and Kanye West's "Gold Digger". Basically if you have enjoyed Weird Al in the past, this album will not disappoint. -ZeN Have you heard this funny album?
