Incredibad

What is both incredible and bad? Besides a night three teenage boys spent with an alien (I'll leave that up to your imagination)? It's the Lonely Island's new album Incredibad. If you aren't familiar with the Lonely Island you are most likely living under a rock with no internet or television. Maybe you are familiar with Andy Samberg? He is one member of the trio. The other two are named Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. I had been watching their videos on youtube when my dad came home and gave me the CD. I put it in the computer and instantly I was taken to a dream world of magic. It opens with a track called "Who Said We're Whack?" It's a powerful song about the guys trying to find who called them whack. Make sure you listen to the second song because Santana DVX is refferenced throughout the rest the of the album. Then comes a classic; Jizz in My Pants. Nothing needs to be said about that. Then comes I'm On A Boat. The latest single featuring T-Pain. They lyrics give the listener insight to what being on a boat is really like. Then Jack Black joins the fellows for Sax Man. There isn't much more to say about Jack Black because he's obviously fantastic. Lazy Sunday follows. Finally I have it on my ipod! I can take it anywhere! I had forgotten how much I missed Mr. Pibb + Red Vines. Then comes a short song called Normal Guy. Thats a gem. We all have that friend that sings instead of talking. Now my favorite song: Boombox. The lyrics aren't quite my favorite but it features Julian Casablancas. His voice is so beautiful I listen to the song over and over just to hear. I would listen to him sing anything. Then comes the interlude Shrooms. The lyrics are pretty easy to learn so if you entered yourself in a singing contest but you didn't have enough time to learn a long song Shrooms is the perfect choose. Next is Like A Boss. It really gave me some insight into the world of a boss. I don't think I could be a boss because the main parts of a boss' day are chopping your balls off and dying and obviously that can't happen to me. Because I'm immortal. Duh. Then We Like Sportz. Another good one. Dreamgirl features Norah Jones. It's a great song about a beautiful girl and chex mix. What's not to love about half eaten squirrels and chex mix? Ras Trent follows. I remeber seeing it on SNL. Watch the video which comes on disc 2. YES A SECOND DISC WITH VIDEOS!!! Then comes Dick in a Box. No need to say anything about this classic. The Old Saloon...where to begin? All I have to say is DJ LARRY! Next is Punch You In The Jeans. The rhymes are nice. Earth Quaka and Mistaka. Space Olymics follows. It gets stuck in my head for days on end. I like to think that some day we can have space olympics even though outer space is one of my biggest fear. Then Natalie Portman jumps on board for a rap of her own. Who would have known she was so hardcore? Last but not least is Incredibad. It tells the tale of these young lads becomes fake MCs. Its good stuff. The whole album is great listening for anyone. I would recomending going out and buying it so you can get disc two. -A
