Assessment of suitability for parodying
Here is an album where it all comes down to niche appeal if ever I knew one. With a full two-thirds of the songs falling in the 5-fodder range, this is easily the most my buttons have ever been pressed at one time, hence a rare instance of me doing a brand new album. However, while the songs are not too hard to learn, they do have their share of challenging content, so it ultimately comes down to what you can do with what.
