Wasn't crazy about this on my first listen, but hoping it'll grow on me. IMO (as of now), it's the weakest of the album.

Handy really feels like Pluming Song 2.0 . Which is not totally bad if we'll get a video though.
Btw...
I don't know where you guys got the album, but I have some kind of felling that my version isn't the best quality ever.
It seems very hard for me to get all the words, especially in Inactive and Mission Statement. The music is loud as much of vocals. Am I the only one?

Inactive is hard for me to hear everything, but that's due to the intentionally distortion in the music. Mission Statement sounds fine for me.

Handy is definitely a modern Plumbing Song. Even the voice seems like it belongs on OTDE, its just higher pitched than i thought it would be

It might be the copy of the leak, but yeah, the mixing in this album isn't the best. Sonically, it's hard to hear some of the words.
I also feel like Al's timbre in this parody is a little... off. Like, he's not really matching Iggy Azalea's style very well, and it's very auto-tuney. That being said, it's still fun.

I'm not sure if there's multiple copies out there, but mine's 320 kpbs

- I find it funny that so much of the speculation on this topic was focused on what he would do with the I-G-G-Y, and he completely removed the whole section.

Haven't heard the song yet, just read the lyrics.

- This isn't Plumbing Song 2.0, just recycled jokes from I'll Repair for you. Surprised there is no reference to "hairy butt crack"....but I bet there will be in the video.

- Although he did change it to words (as coughSOMEONEcough speculated) where it occurs in verse 2.

- Agreed, if we're doing the whole what previous song does this sound like thing, it's most reminds me of "Theme From Home Improvement" (I'll Repair For You), but think it stands on it's own. I generally don't think it's fair when people say this is just a rehash of some other song on some other album, but in this case, TFHI is unreleased, so it's okay if some lines sound recycled. If you look at Al's very early unreleased pre-recording contract stuff, you see he recycles ideas. That's not necessarily a bad thing, by the way.
