MUSIC REVIEW - The Lonely Island

The Lonely Island – Incredibad

From the creative … erm …. people who brought you such songs as the SNL Digital Shorts’ “Dick in a Box”, “Lazy Sunday”, and “Jizz In My Pants” comes this album. The group is SNL’s Andy Samberg along with Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, and the album is pretty much what you’d expect from them – the songs featured in the Digital Shorts along with new music in the same vein. It’s a comedy album which impersonates a variety of music, all of which is well done and is totally, liek, lol.

As for radio play, it’s a hard sell. I really don’t know why they bothered sending it to KMNR. Of the 19 tracks, only three can be played anytime, nine feature severe amounts of cussin’ and can only be played during the radio’s safe harbor hours, and six are obscene – can’t be played at all, anytime. Ever. Which kinda blows, because those are the funniest (and, arguably, most musically sound) songs on the album.

With all this profanity and naughty talking, this CD is sure to sell like hot cakes.

Will I play it on my show? Meh. RIYL – The SNL Digital Shorts.
