 It's Al Oct 10, 2009
It's Al. If you like Weird Al, You'll like this; if you don't, you won't.
Not his best work Sep 11, 2009
Alapalooza by Weird Al Yankovic is forty-four minutes and fifty-two seconds and was released on October 15, 1993. None of the songs on the CD charted in the United States. Alapalooza reached #46 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album charts and went Gold. This was Al's eighth studio album. Bohemian Polka just does not have the same ring as the original Bohemian Rhapsody. The rest of the songs in my opinion just don't live up to other Al songs. Alapalooza by Weird Al Yankovic gets a B-.

 Rockin' Fun! Apr 25, 2009
Bash that delivers chops and intricate mind blowing passages.Can't wait till they rock down Madeline Park or PHS. Long live Punisher and forget about Mark-former progger.
Definitely one of the Top 5 "Weird Al"-bums Apr 14, 2008
Al delivers some of his most energetic, masterfully composed originals on "Alapalooza", which also features his "polka opus".
This is one of my favorite efforts from Al, because it is composed mostly of style-parodies/originals which is where his real talent is.
The highlights are:
-"Young, Dumb and Ugly": Which would rock, if it wasn't meant to be funny.
-"Frank's 2000" TV": Featuring a wonderful vocal performance from Al, while telling the funny story of his neighbor's giant TV.
-"Traffic Jam": An energy-filled lament about what else, traffic.
-"Talk Soup": Inspired by the E! channel tv show, it's like the sister song to "Jerry Springer" from Running with Scissors.
-"She Never Told Me She Was A Mime": A hilarious piano-driven rocker about not realizing your girlfriend is a mime until it's too late.
-"Waffle King": This is one of Al's best, as the narrator changes from a nobody who has fame thrust upon him, to an egotistical waffle tyrant.
Al also changes up his polka tradition by offering Bohemian Rhapsody as a power polka to great effect.
Overall, a great album that relies more on Al's strengths as a songwriter than simply living up to his reputation as the king of parodies.
Buy and enjoy.
great cd Oct 06, 2007
another hit for Wierd Al. The cd is worth the price alone for the jarssic park song and the polka song also. Buy this cd if you love comedy music, or just need a good laugh.
