You would think that after 11 albums I would be tired of listening to political parodies, but when the group is Capitol Steps I could listen to another 11. Number 12 makes the first dozen a complete set of great talent.

This has some of the funniest recording I have heard in a long time, and with 24 tracks to listen to there's something for every brand of politics included. Capitol Steps has a natural talent and a very quick wit.

Cuts like The title track, Somali Wali Doodle, Raiders of the Lost Arkansas, Plain White Rappers and of course no album is complete without Lirty Dies, give the listener on funny moment after another.

What we have here is a blend of real insight with music. The voices are great and they have even started to mimic the character voices, which adds to the whole comedic value. This was a great job - well done!

Their other types of jokes like Republican/Conservative and Bin Laden are hilarious,but sadly the Capitol Steps fall down on the job with Democrat/Liberal jokes.Like the dreadfully boring Unzippin' My Doo-Dah,the jokes are done without inspiration.I laughed my head off at the jokes in the others albums,but when it came to the Liberal jokes,I did'nt even crack a smile.The Democrat jokes are so dull and boring that not even my Republican neighbors could laugh or find it the least bit funny-and they hate Democrats!Perhaps the Capitol Steps should give up Liberal/Democrat jokes-they do such a lousy job that not even a hyena would laugh.
