Everything on this ALbum us "good" but nothing is really "great". but WSD is HORRID! I HATE IT!

[CapitalQ]

The two major factors for me in rating the songs:
*Replay value (do I get sick of a song after a few listens or enjoy it more)
*Creativity of lyrical replacements for the parodies, and the humor yielded by these changes

1. White and Nerdy - 8.3 / 10
2. Pancreas - 8.3 / 10
3. Canadian Idiot - 6.7 / 10 [Changing "American" to "Canadian," that must've been a mind wrangler...matter of fact, it's been done already by others]
4. I'll Sue Ya - 8.4 / 10
5. Polkarama! - 7.5 / 10 [Force transitions much?]
6. Virus Alert - 9.0 / 10
7. Confessions Part III - 8.6 / 10 [Funniest track on the album for me on the first listen]
8. Weasel Stomping Day - 5.5 / 10 [I'd rate it lower, but it was written for a segment on Robot Chicken and obviously couldn't be a masterpiece]
9. Close But No Cigar - 8.4 / 10
10. Do I Creep You Out - 6.0 / 10 [Though I admit I'm not familiar with the original...]
11. Trapped In The Drive Thru - 8.4 / 10
12. Don't Download This Song - 6.5 / 10

[YamiJess27]

Not going to do a real review until I get the actual disc and see the videos and stuff...

But I have to say... I was pleasantly surprised with every song... ESPECIALLY Trapped in the Drive Thru and White and Nerdy. They were the two songs I was most excited about and they're great... Trapped in the Drive Thru... words cannot describe the brilliance of this song!

1. White and Nerdy - 10 / 10
2. Pancreas - 8.5 / 10
3. Canadian Idiot - 9 / 10
4. I'll Sue Ya - 8.5 / 10
5. Polkarama! - 10 / 10
6. Virus Alert - 7.5 / 10
7. Confessions Part III - 8.25/ 10
8. Weasel Stomping Day - 8.25 / 10
9. Close But No Cigar - 7/ 10 (weakest song, in my opinion... this song was close... but no cigar. _
10. Do I Creep You Out - 9/ 10
11. Trapped In The Drive Thru - 11 / 10 BEST SONG!!!!
12. Don't Download This Song - 8 / 10

TOTAL 104.5/120

Although, it has been my experience that my first impressions often change dramatically... I definitely feel that the 8's are going to grow on me.

But Trapped in the Drive Thru freaking made me CRY.

[Al's #27 fan]

0. You're Pitiful - I love this song, and I think the ALbum would have been fine with it... Except we wouldn't have WaN or DICYO. This isn't as strong as WaN, though. So it gets 8/10.

1. White and Nerdy - Wow. This is the second best parody on the ALbum. Second only to TitDT. If I ever have a chance to sing something at a talent show, I'm gonna sing this. 10/10

2. Pancreas - Probably my least favorite on the ALbum. It's just... I'm not sure, it's just not my type of song. I'm sure it'll grow on me, though. 6/10

3. Canadian Idiot - Not my favorite song... It's pretty good, but... it's missing something. 8/10

4. I'll Sue Ya - Wow. This is NOT what I was expecting. I like it, but it's missing something. 8/10

5. Polkarama! - The Chicken Dance intro was awesome... This is my third favorite polka. It was also missing something, just not sure what. I think that with some other songs (Hollaback Girl?), it would have been my favorite. 7/10

6. Virus Alert - This is MUCH better than I expected. It's definitely one of my favorite songs on SOL. FUN FACT: I sent an email out to some of my friends with the subject of SPOILER "Stinky Cheese" and the lyrics as the body. 10/10

7. Confessions Part III - This is a great song. It gets a point off for not being as creative as it could be, but it's definitely really good. 9/10

8. Do I Creep You Out? - This song is hilarious. It's not great, though. 7/10

9. Weasel Stomping Day - It's funny, yeah. I like the Christmas feeling it gives you. I just wish it was longer. 8/10

10. Close But No Cigar - This song is awesome. Not exactly what I was expecting, but I love it. The instrumental is awesome, too. 10/10

11. Trapped In The Drive-Thru - WOW. This is now my favorite Al song. In fact, it's my favorite song by ANYONE. I just really want to see this live. 10/10

12. Don't Download This Song - It's pretty good, but the excitement's worn out. I want to see "Don't Bootleg This Song" live, though. I like it, though. A lot. 9/10

Overall: 8.46/10 I loved it, though. It's my favorite ALbum by far.

6. Virus Alert - This is MUCH better than I expected. It's definitely one of my favorite songs on SOL. FUN FACT: I sent an email out with the subject of
SPOILER
"Stinky Cheese"
and the lyrics as the body. tongue.gif 10/10

I had this idea...

[AlphaWolf]

1. White and Nerdy -- 9/10 -- Only knocked one point 'cause it could have been longer.

2. Pancreas -- 7/10 -- The song itself sounds great, but lacks in the funny department.

3. Canadian Idiot -- 6/10 -- The original is great and already comedic in its own right, so it's hard for me to like this one. Not bad, but he would have been better off picking another of the singles to parody.

4. I'll Sue Ya -- 10/ 10 -- Hands down the best track on the CD. The Rage Against The Machine style is dead-on, and the lyrics are great.

5. Polkarama! -- 8/10 -- Always like the polkas, and this one's no different.

6. Virus Alert -- 9/10 -- Another great track, lyrics are good and the tune is, well, infectious. I especially like the segment after SPOILER 'it e-mails your grandmother all your porn'). 'Tis great fun.

7. Confessions Part III -- 7/10 -- Pretty good, can't really say much else about it.

8. Weasel Stomping Day -- 8/10 -- Surprisingly catchy (kinda a cross between a holiday tune and a showtune), the song that so far (next to Virus Alert) that keeps getting stuck in my head. Sounds like it'll be perfectly suited for the Robot Chicken video.

9. Close But No Cigar -- 8.5/10 -- I like this one, too.

10. Do I Creep You Out -- 5/10 -- Fell out of watching American Idol, but even so, this is still a decent parody. Probably my least favorite track, but having said that, still not one I'll skip.

11. Trapped In The Drive Thru -- 8/10 -- Never heard the original, but I certainly like the parody.

12. Don't Download This Song -- 7/10 -- This one has grown on me since when I first heard it.

(13). You're Pitiful -- 8/10 -- More goodness.

Overall, averaged using above: 7.7/10

Overall, personal opinion: 8.75/10, or in other words, another great album from Al!

[mrmeadows]

11. Trapped In The Drive Thru -- 8/10 -- Never heard the original, but I certainly like the parody.

I think you would appreciate his parody even more if you check out at least the first couple of "chapters" of R. Kelly's original.
