I first heard "Eat It" back in the mid 80's and have been mildly interested in Al ever since. It was only recently that I actually bought any of his albums. This is great fun, 10 songs, all food related and featuring some of his best parodies. I recommend it to anyone who's new to Al and is unsure of what to buy first.

From a psychological perspective food is clearly a pivotal element in the work of "Weird Al" Yankovic, even more so than television. This is why of those two thematic collections "The Food Album" is the better of the pair. The question would be why you do not already have the best of these satirical songs in your music library. "I Love Rocky Road," "Eat It," and "Fat" would be considered the classic "Weird Al" pieces, although I have a fondness for "My Bologna" as one of the best uses of the accordion in Yankovic's career (outside the awesome polka medlies). As far as the rest of the tracks go, it is just a question of, well, taste. "The Theme from Rocky XIII" is above average in my book, but most of the rest, such as "Lasagna" and "Addicted to Spuds," are not worth repeated listens. Besides, there are only ten tracks here and the true "Weird Al" fan should have them all already.

Hilarious compilation of dinner table (or not) songs
18 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
"Weird Al" Yankovic's THE FOOD ALBUM isn't so much a new album as just a compilation of earlier songs relating to food. It's hilarious, gross, outrageous - true Al.
The album opens with "Fat" (an outrageous spoof of Michael Jackson's "Bad), then goes on to "Lasagna" (spoof of "La Bamba") - which is pretty funny, as Al sings about the value of Italian food. There's also "The White Stuff" detailing the joy of cookie filling, "The Rye or the Kaiser (Theme from Rocky XIII)" telling what happened after the last one, and tons of other hilarious songs. Of course, there's also "Eat It" (another Jackson spoof - "Beat It"), which is very funny as well.
What can I say? "Weird Al" is a comedic genius and never fails to make me laugh. "The Food Album" is perfect for beginning Al fans, but die-hard fans will no doubt already have most of the songs.

Good Compilation
9 Jan 2000
Format:Audio CD
Food is one of Al's favorite subjects to sing about, and there are some classics here. Eat It is one of the best. My Bologna was his first hit and it's still a great tune. Other good songs include Fat, The White Stuff, I Love Rocky Road, and The Rye or the Kaiser

THIS IS THE BEST
12 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
This album is the best. Sure, spam, rocky road, addicted 2 spuds and the white stuff are ok. Fat and eat it are good. Bologna, Lasagna, taco, and rye or kaiser are DA BOMB. This is the ultimate weird al album and everyone should have it in their collection.
