You’re a winner! “Incredibad” is awesome.

This week, The Lonely Island released a new album, “Incredibad”. You might know these guys form SNL’s “Digital Shorts” skits like “Dick In A Box” and “Lazy Sunday”, but I’ve been a fan of them for the past few years from their independant projects like “The Bu’” and of course “Stork Patrol”. These guys have a rare chemistry so I was pretty pumped when I found out “Incredibad” was coming out.
So far, I’ve given the new album a good three listenings, and like their previous work it just gets better every time I listen to it. You pick up little bits and pieces that you may have missed before, and it delivers on the laughs consistantly. You may recognize several tracks that are straight from their SNL skits like the before mentioned “Dick In A Box”, “Lazy Sunday”, “I’m On A Boat”, “Jizz In My Pants”, “Space Olympics”, “Ras Trent” and “Natelie’s Rap”. joining this group is “Santana DVX”, “Boombox”, “We Like Sports”…you know what, I just realized I’ve pratically listed every track on the album, and each title brings a smile to my face.
These guys are a success story in action. I know how cliche it sounds, but thanks to today’s technology (i.e. the internet) The Lonely Island was able to get their stuff out there. The fact that they are producing content that as far as I can tell is uncompromised from their indepenant work is rather astounding and rare. You can buy “Incredibad” at Amazon for a cool 8 beans. It’s totally worth the price. Plus, you can head over to TheLonelyIsland.com to get their earlier songs and shorts. It’s good stuff.












The music on this album should not be written off as mere game level background ambiance, it is full of complex beats and deep layers of sounds. The album’s tone is a mish-mash of jazzy secret-agent electronica, very reminiscent of older DJ Shadow at times. Each track blends together fluidly, but like the levels of a game, they each have a tone that is distinct from one another.
