All you can hear on CDBaby is a sample, which gives you at least something. I will say I like the song, but at the same time, I realize this was an experiment, and it's not gonna be any chartbuster or anything. I don't think that is why they did this. Other than the sample on CDBaby, I'm pretty sure there is no other way to hear it unless you buy it. Sorry, Bob.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Yeah. I was willing to part with it, though. I guess you need to decide if you're willing to pay that much for something you can't really hear first.

Al's band should try to get a show on VH1. Like a surreal life type show where they all live in the same house for a month or something. Al could even join them.

Wow, that would be ridiculous. It could be called Yank of Love...

I don't expect this song to chart as mentioned earlier, but wasn't it just made for the fans?! I may be wrong, but I don't think they meant it for radio play.

You're right. It WAS made for the fans, exclusively. I don't think they even wanted for this to be anything else. But still, even if they're only doing it for the fans, they could have still made it A LOT better than it was. Like I said in my first impression, it sounds A LOT like something you'd expect to hear on a fan-made tribute album.

One thing they could fix easily: On the next song, there's no reason for everyone to sing 90% of the words. Why not trade off and do one verse each. I think that would have made it a lot easier to understand what the lyrics were...
