Mr. Universe (Comedy Central, 2012) by Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan's eighth album is very funny, but not as good as his previous two releases.  But don't get me wrong, I think his routines about Disney, hotel pools and working out are great.  Gaffigan's humor about food is still there too, "McDonald's" is especially good, but "Subway" seems to lose some steam and "Domino's Pizza" focuses on a particular dish the same way that Patton Oswalt did with KFC years earlier.  And where his previous sets ended on a high note, this one seemed to gradually conclude.  This is still a good album, and Jim Gaffigan is still a great comedian.  However, this will probably not be remembered as his magnum opus.
