Here we go: Amazon finally has a listing and cover art up, but it's still as yet not available to actually download.
Soon, fellow Amazons!
UPDATE: Both "Ringtone" and "Leaks" are up to download!

The review on Amazon about dolphins is...quite odd yet slightly funny at the same time.
And apparently they registered just to say that.
Decent, but don't play this album to dolphins!
August 28, 2009
By Al killed my dolphins
As a amateur marine biologist, I try to share our human experience with our sea-faring mammals. So, I got this album and decided to play it over the aquarium's underwater speakers. Bad idea.
The dolphins initially were indifferent about 'Whatever you like', having not much exposure to today's hip-hop trends. They really enjoyed 'Craigslist', with that classic 70s' sound meshed with modern weirdness that Jim Morrison couldn't even hallucinate if he had tried. If he had succeeded, probably would have sworn off drugs and be alive today performing Sinatra covers in Vegas. 'Skipper Dan' is a bit of a downer, since the situation hit home with my job here at the World Of Sea.. (not Seaworld, that's much better and doesn't smell as much like old fish)
Everybody, including the dolphins, really loved the CNR for its compelling riffs and the shocking revelation that Chuck Norris had ripped off the legend of veteran Tonight Show guest and comedian Charles Nelson Reiley. They quite enjoyed it, actually. But then 'Ringtone' started playing.. not bad, I was listening, kinda cute in an way, but I hadn't noticed that the dolphins had stopped frolicing..They were swimming in circles in the tank, and it looked like they were attempting to block their ears with their flippers. (do they have ears? they didn't tell me anything at the employee orientation). Apparently the strange frequency effects in the song were resonant with their echolocation, and they started ramming the speaker grilles, attempting to stop it. They rammed the wall several times, then leapt out of the water into the stands, and then imploded. So now I've got to clean all this imploded dolphin guts off of the arena before the next show.
Thanks a lot, Al.

How do we know the dolphins didn't just commit suicide because of their batsh*t crazy owner?

Brian May reacts to Ringtone:
This is great ! Very clever ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSuseDRxmu8
... very Queen-like and very creative. Perfectly spoofed vocal and guitar harmonies. Weird Al is cool. The lyrics are smart too .. love it !
Ho ho ! Yes, even the cover is a nice Queen spoof.
Very good.
I have a ringtone which everybody hates too ... I think I should market it! What is it Tella ya later.
Cheers

All right, one final iTunes chart update for the week. On today's comedy charts reflecting Saturday's sales, "Ringtone" is currently....
#7 in the U.S.
#8 in Canada
#9 in Finland
#7 in Norway
More impressive is that "Internet Leaks" is still the #1 comedy album not only in the U.S. but also in Canada, Denmark, and Norway.
Hopefully either one of these will crack into "Billboard."
