Given his turn into kinder, gentler movie roles, longtime fans of former SNL star Sandler’s pubescent potty humor should welcome this long-overdue collection of sketches and musical parodies. “Low-brow” doesn’t quite do the album’s relentlessly puerile, if impressively loopy, bent justice; with an orbit that rarely strays much below mid-thigh or above the beltline, it’s arguably the most crotch-centric album of the comedian’s career. While at least one of the recurring characters (clueless octogenarian daredevil Mr. Pibb) quickly wears thin, bits like “Wolfman” and “Calling Home” triumph by pushing familial dysfunction to surreal extremes–and then some. While none quite match the charming insouciance of “The Chanukah Song,” the musical numbers here are often the main attraction, from the mock Brit-punk self-love anthem “The Amazing Willy Wanker” and “The Mayor of Pussytown” (a hip-hop boast-fest to underendowment of every stripe) to “Stan the Man,” Sandler’s bittersweet ode to his late father. Longtime collaborator Alan Covert is again featured, as are cameos by fellow SNL alums Molly Shannon, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, whose chemistry with Sandler provides some of the album’s most sublime silliness. –Jerry McCulley
