Cons: leave you wanting more
Weird al has done it again, with his craziness. His Dual CD is great. Great video's, karaoke added, and behind the scene footage.
Even though he's having fun, it's still alot of work, and he actually takes his work very seriously, which I love.
Want to have a fun CD for your next party or need something to get people up and moving, acting a fool, than this one is a must have.

Pro Reviews: Straight Outta Lynwood
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Three years between Weird Al Yankovic albums has been the norm since the '90s, but a lot happened to the parody king between 2003's Poodle Hat and his 2006 release, Straight Outta Lynwood. First off, Poodle Hat stalled after one single. Then while on tour promoting the album, Yankovic's parents were both killed in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning. Al handled the issue quickly and honestly with his fans, promising to carry on before disappearing for a couple years to cope. Then he came back with the pretty good "You're Pitiful" a riff on James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" and as the track wormed its way around the Internet, Blunt's label, Atlantic, recanted their permission for the parody after they had already granted it. The latter event is something Al's been through before and it always drums up some hype, but his quick and snide reference to Atlantic Records in the "White Nerdy" video seemed genuinely ticked and wiped away some suspicion the whole thing was staged. "White Nerdy" a suburban take on Chamillionaire's big hit "Ridin'" is the hilarious reason to celebrate his return, and the album it lands on is inspired. The original, nonparody material is usually where the man stumbles, but here the ridiculous "Weasel Stomping Day" and clever "Don't Download This Song" offer something that isn't filler. "White Nerdy" where the terminally uncool singer boasts he's a "whiz at Minesweeper" and "fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon" is up there with his best, and "Canadian Idiot" a hockeyloving, toquewearing rip on Green Day's "American Idiot" is great, making this effort already one highlight better than Poodle Hat. The latest installment in his series of polka parody melodies this time it's "Polkarama" is a brilliant roll through the recent hits of Modest Mouse, 50 Cent, Rihanna, and many more with a short tribute to the legendary Spike Jones stuck at the end, a thrilling moment for novelty fanatics. Topping it off is the 11minute "Trapped in the DriveThru," which turns R. Kelly's epic "Trapped in the Closet" into an excruciating but funny wait for that greasy bag that will most likely contain the wrong order. This handful of prime Yankovic overshadows the only mildly humorous Usher and Taylor Hicks parodies and the couple original tunes that really drag, but Yankovic's fans don't expect perfection until the next "bestof" rolls around. Lynwood's highs are higher than usual, with Yankovic trying harder and landing more shots. Turns out novelty music's silliest hitmaker is a survivor. - David Jeffries, All Music Guide |

Pros: spot-on comedy
Cons: well if you don't have asense of humor you probably won't like this album much... even though it's well written
This is a spot on parody album! Its been a good year for comedy and parody music...I can't believe this type of music finally made it into the top ten. This and DJ Dingdong (hopefully) mark the beginning of comedy music as being widely accepted. I hope so at least...!
