Title: The best album in Al's 20 year history!!!
Product review: This album is an extra treat for fans who know Al's work, but even new fans will love "Running With Scissors." The music is wonderful...the parodies are rendered perfectly, as always, and the originals are beautiful! Especially impressive are his ska and zydeco pieces, "Your Horoscope For Today" and "My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder" (respectively). The crowning glory is "Albuquerque," a rockin' and ramblin' monologue/song that takes the listener on a bizarre tour through Weird Al's twisted storytelling. Also impressive is the Nine Inch Nails-inspired "Germs," which isn't so much funny as it is creepy but wonderful. The album title refers to the kind of stuff that network censors wouldn't let Al get away with on his children's show...and there are a few lyrics that echo the subtly rebellious sentiment. The funniest song is "All About the Pentiums," a new anthem for extreme computer geeks.
