Drooling Over Album 13

Kind of what George Lucas had on the Episode 1 DVD. I always thought Al should do that. If only to get a glimpse at "The Notebook"

A blooper reel would be awesome, and I bet there were some awesome ones from the SOL recording but I can understand why Al didn't include any. He wanted to show the serious side of what he does.

True, he wanted to show his fans that its serious stuff to record something funny. I would too, though, like to see some bloopers or maybe the whole process, though for the process I think Al would have to have a camera in his bedroom for late night ideas.

I suppose that the only problem with that is that writing a song isn't always something you just sit down and plan to do. Most of the time, it just comes to you out of nowhere. I remember reading in an interview with Al recently that he keeps a notebook and pen by his bed in case he comes up with a good idea during the night...So he couldn't just keep the camera filming at all hours of the day. So maybe he wouldn't be able to just show us the *whole* writing process, but maybe parts of it.

I suppose it'd be easier for him to show us the writing process of a parody, but I would really want to see an original being written. Just imagine, Al humming a tune to himself, jotting down some lyrics, singing them to himself, getting frustrated, scribbling over them and writing new ones...then running to the closet and grabbing his accordion and playing it. hahaha.

It would be quite a sight to see.

Then again, Al is a perfectionist so maybe he wouldn't want us to hear the songs before their final product. Kind of like how Al isn't too proud of a lot of his old demos that we sometimes find...I don't know. It still would be incredibly awesome.

Bermuda told us that when Al writes originals, he makes a recording himself to show to his band... I still really wanna hear some of those.

omg! I know what you mean...it isn't just the idea that I would like to see the song in it's simplest form, but I really want to compare the two and see how it developed from Al's mind over to the final masterpiece.

If the next ALbum was a 2-disc studio album, then there will be more parodies (about 10) and less originals (about 9), as well as a polka medley. Or better yet, two polkas, 10 originals, and 8 parodies. That'll be 10 tracks per disc, for a total of 20 in one album.

Hey I personally didn't like the dual disc feature. My SOL disc got scratched so easily. I had to buy like 4 extras cause they got scratched. What about 2 disc one DVD one CD? I have a Feeling Al might parody a Chris Daughtry song. Maybe he can try the sexy back and bad date songs again. Bad Date is still popular in my state at least.

I actaully dont really know what he should do for the next album. My SOL copy did get scratched, but nothing happened to it, everything still works excellent for me. I think Al should wait to release the videos for tne next ALbum and come out with ALL the video, like a new TUVC

If Al made a 2-disc album with twice as many songs, that would probably mean waiting six years.

I think the next album will be just another 12-song album following the same formula. 6 originals, 5 parodies and a polka.
