4.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but don't play this album to dolphins!, August 28, 2009
By Al killed my dolphins - See all my reviews
As a amateur marine biologist, I try to share our human experience with our sea-faring mammals.
So, I got this album and decided to play it over the aquarium's underwater speakers. Bad idea.

The dolphins initially were indifferent about 'Whatever you like', having not much exposure to today's hip-hop trends.

They really enjoyed 'Craigslist', with that classic 70s' sound meshed with modern weirdness that Jim Morrison couldn't even hallucinate if he had tried. If he had succeeded, probably would have sworn off drugs and be alive today performing Sinatra covers in Vegas.

'Skipper Dan' is a bit of a downer, since the situation hit home with my job here at the World Of Sea..
(not Seaworld, that's much better and doesn't smell as much like old fish)

Everybody, including the dolphins, really loved the CNR for its compelling riffs and the shocking revelation that Chuck Norris had ripped off the legend of veteran Tonight Show guest and comedian Charles Nelson Reiley. They quite enjoyed it, actually.

But then 'Ringtone' started playing.. not bad, I was listening, kinda cute in an way,
but I hadn't noticed that the dolphins had stopped frolicing..

They were swimming in circles in the tank, and it looked like they were attempting to block their ears with their flippers. (do they have ears? they didn't tell me anything at the employee orientation).

Apparently the strange frequency effects in the song were resonant with their echolocation, and they started ramming the speaker grilles, attempting to stop it. They rammed the wall several times, then leapt out of the water into the stands, and then imploded. So now I've got to clean all this imploded dolphin guts off of the arena before the next show.

Thanks a lot, Al.

Update:

Since I published this review, a busload of ASPCA advocates showed up at World of Sea. They wanted to investigate the
imploded dolphins. Where were they when the Manatee was holding that girl scout troop hostage?

I may have embellished the story a bit. The dolphins were just disoriented, and threw up their lunch.

I still had to clean it up, though.

Calm down, people! We'll be lucky if we can open for business tomorrow, the code violations are piling up.

Use your energies that you wrought toward my situation, and bother the Navy, they do much worse than Al, what with their low frequency sonar..
Although the whale that beached itself nearby, as a result of their testing, is quite a popular attraction now.

Good thing it survived the tow tr... oh, you'll call in the ASPCA again if I said more.

Don't forget to stop by the souvenir stand and pick up a bottle of genuine dolphin-ingested chum. Hey, I gotta make a living, too!

Suffice it to say I enjoyed 4/5 of the album, and the dolphins have recovered swimmingly.

Stop picketing the place already!
You're making a mess and I'll have to clean that up as well.
