Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood

Rating

Al is insane. I have listened to the CD so many times the songs are stuck in my head out of order. I love the CD and my kids 12-16 love it too. He cracks me up. There are sevral songs on there that you can't find on any music sites and when you hear it for the first time its soooo funny and silly. I like the price because it is a CD and DVD and you can see a few videos to the songs.

another good one from Weird Al. The Cd also has a Karaoke feature that the kids and I had fun with.

The format of this CD/DVD is tricky. I haven't been able to listen to the CD side yet. I can't play it in my 10 year old CD player (no surprise), but it also won't play in my laptop (only 3 years old). As a result, the CD has never made it onto my iPod and a haven't listened to the tracks much. I can listen to them while I watch the videos, but most of those are just slide shows and are NOT that exciting. I really like Weird Al, but this format stinks!!!

While this is no Poodle Hat, and certainly no Running With Scissors, this is still a solid and flat-out fun album. Al's versions are better than the originals, as usual, especially White & Nerdy and Trapped In The Drive-Thru. The Cake-esque Close But No Cigar is a great tribute, and Pancreas is just plain good music. PETA fans won't be too fond of Weasel Stomping Day. Virus Alert lets Al show off his vocal skillz. The dual-disc also comes with 6 videos made by Al-tastic animation artists. And for you band-in-a-boxers, the whole shabang comes with on-screen lyrics! Wow! What more do ya want, a behind-the-scenes look at Al and his buddies making the album? Well, FINE! You can have that too! So that's 4 things ya get; music, videos, karaoke, dvd extras. Quad-disc must not have sounded so good.
