Title: Unexpected Low
Product review: While normally a fan this is the first Weird Al album that I've rather heavily disliked. Some of it is mildly amusing, but he has apparently decided that MTV is still a relevant model of popular culture. Most of the references are pointless and seem to be very short-lived as are most of the parodies. The only time I've heard any of the parodied songs with the exception of "Piano Man" was while channel-flipping or out shopping. Unlike previous work these song had no need to be parodied and will be quickly forgotten. "Bob" was ham-fisted and entirely unoriginal, seemingly the work of a complete novice with no sense of humour.I had expected good things after his last two excellent albums, but this is more in line with "Polka Party" and "Alapalooza". This is the first output by Al that I feel no desire to own at all.
