"Alapalooza," the 1993 "Weird Al" Yankovicalbum, is not as good as its classic predecessor, "Off the Deep End," but it does not constitute a step backwards for the premier song satirist of our generation (or your generation if the sense of affinity that suggests bothers you).
Both of these reflect the attention to detail where the goal remains to sound as much like the original on the musical side while the warped lyrics are sung in the unique style of "Weird Al" even with Rick Derringer no longer around as producer and Yankovic doing the task himself.
My minor complain with "Alapalooza" is that the polka medley this time around consists of a single song, Queen's epic "Bohemian Rhapsody." While the result is cute, it is really not that much of a reach from the original and misses the pure joy of a true "Weird Al" medley.
Alapalooza, from 1993, may look like the Jurassic Park soundtrack, but it's not.
You'll find a picture of this sticker, as well as other memorabilia involving Alapalooza in the 24-page booklet that comes with this release.
When you pop the Alapalooza remaster into your computer, you'll be able to watch two featurettes: The Creation of the Yankosaurus, featuring David Peters, and "Jurassic Park": The Making of the Video, an in-depth look at how one of Al's most popular music videos was made.
