What's Your Name? (Warner Bros., 1997) by Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler's first full-length musical album is a mixed bag.  The cleverness and shock value of some of Sandler's previous songs are still there, but 14 tracks is a long time and the music can't hold on for that long.  Some songs are just weird ("Zitty Van Zittles," "Moyda").  However, there are some good tunes here.  "Pickin' Daisies" and "Listenin' to the Radio" aren't bad and "The Goat Song" is a seven-minute epic that is a great extension from "The Goat" skit on Sandler's previous album.  Overall, this album is mediocre at best- a fun listen, but not anything amazing.  Considering it was released in 1997, I'd rather watch The Wedding Singer instead.
