Pros: No modern musical trend is left unscathed.
Cons: Some of the humor is suprisingly immature and/or pointless... even for Weird Al.
Summary: I waited three years for this. I know that makes me a big nerd, and I realize that I'm probably about twice the age of Weird Al Yankovic's target audience, but he did such a darn good job with his last album, ...

Pros: Choice of songs, Randomness and oddball humor ensues. Al Fans will be happy.
Cons: Some of the parodies run dry, humor goes to a giant low at times.
Summary: After “Running with Scissors”, Weird Al fans were amazed such work. It was Al Yankovic at his best. About 4 or so years later, a small dispute between Eminem and Al leaked into the music pressroom that later spilt the beans on Al's new album. This ...

Pros: Surprisingly strong original material; some hilarious parodies.
Cons: Trash Day, Party at the Leper Colony.
Summary: Before I get into the review, let me tell you how big of an Al fan I am. I have been listening to him for years, and actually waited for the store to open so I could be one of the first people to get the disc (I was first). This is the only thing I've ...

Pros: Some of Weird Al's most creative parodies
Cons: I want more parodies. Polk segment gets tedious after a few minutes.
Summary: I have a confession to make: I am a demented little freak. I enjoy science fiction, and have in fact been known to watch two of the five Star Trek shows on a regular basis. I listen to Rush. Philip K. Dick is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy the ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None
Summary: Weird Al returns with his 12th studio album Poodle Hat and it may be the funniest one yet. He makes parodies of every one from Eminem to the Backstreet Boys on here. He also performs 6 originals. Weird Al also has a slew of guest musicians ...

Pros: hilarious, some great songs, no cussing.
Cons: some stupid songs
Summary: Weird Al Yankovic has been a success with people of all ages. Adults and kids share equal respect for him. I first hear him at my cousins house five years ago, and I have been a fan ever since. Amish Paradise was the first song I heard. I have bought ...

Pros: "Bob"
Cons: Most of the rest of it...this one is for die-hard fans only.
Summary: I'm not a huge fan of Weird Al, but some of his albums, e.g. "Off the Deep End" or "Even Worse" have been quite good. His most recent, "Running with Scissors" really impressed me. I thought it had some really clever songs and some positive social ...

Pros: Pretty much everything.
Cons: I wasn't that impressed with "Trash Day"

Pros: Some great, funny songs
Cons: But there are a few weak ones
Summary: Weird Al Yankovic is known to most as the king of parodies, although the most common misconception is that he only does parodies. On his latest album “Poodle Hat”, he proves he can handle both parodies and original comedic songs with...

Pros: Original song and Al's home movie & photo gallery extras top this solid CD.
Cons: I didn't enjoy the parodies as much as other people seem to.
Summary: Couch Potato - (parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminen)
Don't care for rap much or Em, not closely familiar with his work, and I just don't have much emotional connection to TV, so the song, while having some good lines, doesn't quite hold the appeal...

Pros: Hilarious parodies and some intelligent humor...
Cons: ...and also some patently lame humor.
Summary: It's been four years since an album from our buddy, "Weird Al" Yankovic. May 20, 2003 - He's back with Poodle Hat. Twelve fun songs that once again remind me that Al is both a musical and lyrical genius. I'll break it down for you song by...

Pros: Al, You're Back! We've missed you so..
Cons: Al stays true to the music by proving it ain't what it used to be
Summary: I'm quite the Weird Al fan. I've seen him life twice, and purchased (no, really) several of his albums. He's a talented, honest guy who's maintained staying power for so many years. His lyrics have greatly improved, and his song parodies generally are...
