Turtleneck & Chain

This second album confirms Andy Samberg and co as talents mighty enough to equal the superstar names that join them in their Saturday Night Live skits.

Now, two years after Incredibad, a debut that collected many of the group’s greatest, previously televised hits, comes Turtleneck & Chain, a perfectly acceptibad follow-up.

Turtleneck & Chain shows that the boys in the Lonely Island aren’t solely reliant on viral videos and buzz, but deeply affectionate fans. They don’t make mockeries; they joke because they love.

For the most part, though, these are good songs with jokes in them, not jokes with songs attached.

Back once again with the ill behavior, Lonely Island’s second effort is more of the same, which for many means that life is still worth living.

This is a comedy album that just happens to have more catchy songs than your average pop radio album.

While Turtleneck & Chain, like Incredibad before it, is a tad uneven, The Lonely Island are still largely deserving of admiration.

SNL‘s pop-parody trio show no sign of running out of impossibly brilliant half-jokes.

Turtleneck and Chain has some pretty memorable tacks on it, to be honest. Some of these might be the best this comedy rap outfit has ever penned.

Continuing to party, but this time with devastating covers from auto-tuned lands.
