Awesome article indeed. And the discussion of email addresses in the comments is just gravy. |)

Nice review. The writer is obviously an Al fan (as he mentions not minding having to buy the IL songs "again"), but I'm baffled that he criticized PTW for not pointing out that the original sounds like "Express Yourself". Like....duh.

In his defense though, a number of WOWAY members didn't even catch the Express Yourself bit in the first few listens.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

One giveaway that he's a fan is that he just calls Al "Al." First thing anybody with any familiarity with him does is drop the "Weird."
