W.A.Y. cool. Is that some sort of chameleon-man in the background?

I wanted to do a terrible, low-tech "removal" of some guy who wouldn't move. :D The tip of my own hat is at the top right.

His new album will be coming soon.

I've only had one listen-through so far, but I don't see a "weak link" song on the CD (a la "Party at the Leper Colony," "Such a Groovy Guy," "Dog Eat Dog," etc.), but I was disappointed to find that there's no "long" song for the first time in a few albums (like "Albuquerque," "Trapped in the Drive Thru," etc.). I haven't watched the DVD with the Deluxe edition yet. It's a fun CD, for the most part.

[edit]Now I have seen the DVD of videos: 10 of the 12 tracks are featured (no "Polka face" or "Perform That Way," but "PTW" is on the Weird Al site), all but "Craigslist" are animated (but "If That Isn't Love" does have Al's face on the character). Favorite one? "Another Tattoo" or possibly "ITIL" ).

How is the polka medly?

"Dog Eat Dog" is a weak link? I like that one, perhaps because it is a Talking Heads parody, but it was a good tune. Also, if I ever get that song in my collection, I'll have three songs named "Dog Eat Dog", (Ted Nugent and AC/DC are the other two).

I realized I left room for a 3rd song in my post and went back to insert one; "DED" was just a title that came to mind. I won't put it in my faves, but I guess it's not as bad as others. How about if I use "Wanna B UR Lover" in its place instead? I was trying to find somewhere in this thread where I'd posted a list (LISTS... :drool: ) of his songs I just didn't really like, but I gave up after 10 pages. :lazy: :tired:

Well, after listening to it for a few days, here's how I'd rank the 12 tracks from Alpocalypse:

1 Another Tattoo
2 Party in the CIA
3 Craigslist
4 Perform That Way
5 Whatever You Like
6 Polka Face
7 TMZ
8 CNR
9 Stop Forwarding that [Carp] to Me
10Ringtone
11If That Isn't Love
12Skipper Dan
