Free Music Notes for Weird Al Yankovic - Greatest Hits, Volume 2
Free Music Review: A couple of chuckles - but that's it
Hit: 2 Stars
Weird Al's CDs don't usually get stocked in this part of the world, so I came to this on the basis of his reputation and having heard a couple of his better known songs. I was sorely disappointed.
First of all, Weird Al isn't really that funny. Sure, he's amusing in a sort of 'this is something the whole family can enjoy' sort of way, but he's not edgy and he doesn't take risks.
Furthermore, he doesn't even really bother with most of these songs. I don't know if this is meant to be a genuine 'greatest hits' or a hilarious parody of the greatest hits format, but I'm shocked if it is, because a lot of these 'songs' are mish-mashs and melodies, with very little in the way of coherence or humour to recommend them.
Anyone with a functioning sense of humour should look elsewhere. Perhaps there are better Weird Al albums, but I don't plan to waste any more money finding out.
(The two stars are for the two chuckles I got from this)
