Al's most sucessful Al-bum to date! Due in part to the Coolio fiasco, and the phenomonal song Amish Paradise.

Despite the near-fatal-for-Al's-career-and-reputation misunderstanding between Scotti Brothers and Coolio, Al, his career, and this album managed to weather the storm (p.i.) and come out right on top!

Al's genius comes out in the smash Amish Paradise and extends to other songs: Gump, Since You've Been Gone, Everything You Know Is Wrong, and The Night Santa Went Crazy.

Even 3 near-weak songs cannot topple this album from being one of his best ever! Go out and buy this baby!!!
