wasn't sure where to put this, but I have to say that I love the bass on the album. I listened in my car for the first time the other day and it was great to turn "Foil" way up and ride around town with the bass pounding.

Haven't listened to the whole album yet, but so far it's better than Alpacolypse.
At least "Mandatory Fun" is easier to spell! ;)

I have a question for other fans from non-english speaking countries - does your local media mentioned this album at any point? Ours doesn't seem to be interested in music in general. You can find how musicians are spending their time, what are their pets and what diet they recomend, but actual music they make – "who even cares?" :D. So I wonder if that's general trend or local peculiarity.

I'm not sure where to post this, but I just finished making a voice recording for tumblr on my thoughts and feelings concerning Mandatory Fun and everything that's gone on in the past week, as well as some general Al things... It wound up being over thirty minutes long! :oo :S Lots of stuff running through my head.

Sometimes I think Yankovic-Gretzky is bot or something. Lately he seems to be malfunctioning.

So, today my mom brought up that my father was talking to her about Mandatory Fun yesterday! He asked her if she say the funny new Weird Al parodies for Happy and Fancy! I've never mentioned that I like Al to him, nor did he know I have Mandatory Fun. My mom listened to the whole album with me the day it came out, though. Just found it awesome that my dad likes the Mandatory Fun videos! :tacky:
